Originally it was just cost-reduction. Now that open offices are in fashion they are lucrative for venders catering to open offices for furniture and etc.

More than ever it's important to have complete control over your HTML structure. We need to cater to more browsers and screen sizes than ever. Sure, templates you only write once, but you still need to re-template or rewrite new components. For redesigns, css isn't to a point that html structure doesn't matter so it's still important to reorder elements or change nesting. If your talking about point and click tools, I've never found them to be as quick as a good IDE with code completion.

You're right, he doesn't say that in the article but he does say he's "on it " in the comments.

They can be more competitive in that they can compete where they want to compete, not where shareholders force them to compete.

I have problems all the time with the ebay site. A lot of there javascript is broken anyways. (I'll click on place bid an nothing happens.) You would probably end up with a better experience. Although I do use greese/tamper monkey to get the price of shipping to show on the listing.

You know facebook owns instagram right?

"They fund a whole series of institutions doing science trolling." What institutions? What evidence is there the Koch brothers are involved? You give one example of a group that you say got shut down. Thats not the "huge grants for disproving or challenging anything related to AGW" that you said there were.

I see people say this all the time. Some mysterious group is willing to pay for skeptic research. I've never seen any evidence of this. Can you post a link to something substantial.

Funny, it took me a while to realize you're being sarcastic. I was thinking psychoanalyst was the name of some new fangled tool.

I guess you're right. At the vary least you get a free screening. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.... It looks a little foggy as to what exactly is emergency care. It sounds like as long as you say you're in pain it's considered an emergency.

A hospitality room is a hastily spelled hospital room - go to one some time, there filled with poor people with minor illnesses (colds, flues, things like that) because the hospital emergency room is required to treat people if they can pay or not. Your right that eating habits arn't limited to the poor, he is saying that poor eating habits are more common in lower class. They are generally less educated, including education on nutrition, and are more likely to buy cheaper and less nutritional meals. What he is saying is not wrong nor being a "nazi". http://www.gallup.com/poll/163...

Great points. Also, look at every other post where teacher's complain about pay. They always talk about being overworked and working in illegal conditions - no lunch, no breaks, working over 60+ hours a week. Has tenure helped them, apparently not.

1) The abuses go both ways. That's why the need for tenure is in question in the first place. At every place I ever worked, even though it's at will employment, management made sure to have a good case together before letting anyone go out of fear of any litigation. Through the court system there is some level of protection if rights are being violated.

2) You second statement can be said for anything. "The long history of [insert whatever you want here] abuse definitely shows some sort of protection is needed."

This is my anecdotal experience with a company that built a software product. The majority of engineers were men. The product owners (those that had final say) were not engineers but business majors. They had more influence as to the product result than the engineering team did. Just because engineering isn't 50/50 doesn't mean that women are not adding to technology development.

That's still a good amount of time to be useful for things like island hopping.
