Nice ASSumption that the victims were all the original builders. I suspect many of them simply saw a house for sale and bought it - and were not made aware of the risk.

Just no men. Lot's of women tho.

Thanks for Googling that for me (seriously)!

There is a spot on conception in the industry that younger == cheaper.

IIRC Snowden fled to a non white nation, but they wouldn't have him.

How much liquid is in a container 12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches?

How big of a cube do you need to exactly contain a quart?

US instance an cling to the imperial system is indeed maddening.

You are of course, completely correct... except for the parts of the program funded by United Kingdom, Italy, The Netherlands, Canada, Turkey, Australia, Norway and Denmark. And let's not forget the design and test portions coming from BAE Systems Plc (not Inc, who is also balls deep).

A shop that evaluates candidates on computer science fundamentals (which is a very good idea, IMO) is going to favor those recently exposed to them. While I took the classes and got A's... I got my masters in 1999. 15 years is a long time to suddenly remember the details of A*, figure out (n) of Boyer-Moore, and white board out a BST delete operation in working code.

Programming languages change in such time. Techniques, jargon.... it is rough for the old.

Yummy.

Ubuntu Server is pretty nice actually.

Why do I think the "we" cited in your post does not include "you?"
