Betting the farm on Parrot and then waiting *years* to start implementing the Perl 6 spec is what killed it. Besides, around these parts we wait for Netcraft to confirm. We haven't succeeded in killing off the *BSDs yet have we?
despite the fact that anyone who had ever been in an IT project before knows that version control is not just a good idea.
Please tell that to the older cowboy coder I have to deal with who refuses to use git more frequently than once a month and has a hissy fit if I check anything into the mainline branch that he's working on as it will mess up his "merges".
Like Barbie says: "Math is hard"
The answer is simple. Young men have figured out that the "everyone needs a degree" sales pitch is BS and are opting for other career options. That leaves an excess of women in the university system who are never planning to be the primary breadwinner after they get married and can afford to fritter away time getting a degree that will saddle them with a debt their mate can pay for.

Bike Friday has been using essentially the same configuration on their foldables for quite some time without notable issues.
Ford had a recall on Explorers a few years back in which a poorly installed cruise control attachment on the throttle cable that could snag and cause the throttle to stick open. Happened to my mother. The Escape has a similar issue. It isn't an unknown phenomenon.

They are already making money hand over fist off their customers. They should use that money to invest in their own infrastructure improvements.
ISS wasn't about international cooperation. It was a jobs program to keep Russian engineers from offering their services to various middle east states awash in oil money.
and you don't have to have dark skin for it to apply these days.
In many H1B shops, particularly those with *ahem* immigrant managers it's usually the white workers who aren't a good culture fit.
Or...
Once again Oracle proves that it is incapable of delivering functional products on time and within budget. Why PHBs still get wood for them is a wonder.
Most people who need to use computers don't need to know how they work inside or how to program them. There is no "undeniable" need to boost CS anymore than there is a need to teach the masses about the details of running a farm.
Yep. They also have POSfor.NET library for interfacing with barcode scanners, scales, and receipt printers. Suffice to say it is also a huge, unreliable Piece Of Shit.
Kleeneness is next to Godelness.
