In the United States, those three terms are synonymous.

Well, actually, we don't use "flatmate", but "roommate" and "housemate" mean the same thing.

I don't understand why anyone would want one of those little SMART cars with their horrible gas mileage. They only get around 35 mpg. A 300 horsepower Ford Mustang gets around 30 mpg. That's ridiculous when you think about it.

If you want a truly "green" car that gets good mileage, wait until the Elio starts rolling off the line (next year?). 84 mpg in a $7000 American made two seater.

There are plenty of websites that display no content of substance without javascript. If you've only come across one website that requires javascript, your websurfing habits are extremely limited.

And, no, I'm not going to make you a list of examples, it would be a much shorter list if you gave examples of websites that don't require javascript.

This scenario was played out in a novel called "Lights Out" by David Crawford. It's fiction, but I can see it going down in a manner very similar to that story.

Sorry, but this is a completely absurd comment. I'd like to see your car run without the electronics that have been installed in just about every car for the last thirty years. The only vehicles that will still run after an EMP will be specialty equipment and thirty year old cars.

That's such a scary thought, but probably not far from being reality.

I was immediately reminded of the hardware in "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

In it, the whole world spends most of their time in an online world, all that is needed is a VR headset like Oculus Rift, and haptic gloves that input your hand's motion.

I see how Facebook dominates some people's lives exactly how the online world in the book is more important than real life. People like escaping the harsh reality of life.

How do those two products even compare? I don't see how they compete at all.

I've been a member of three different unions throughout my life, and I've never seen the behavior you describe. I've heard it many times from anti-union people, but I've never actually seen it. I don't see why any union would want to make it difficult to fire a crappy employee. That only hurts the union.

Like the person you responded to, I have seen more than a few managers that aren't willing to be the one to document misconduct or poor performance, or are unwilling or afraid to be the one to actually confront an employee and/or pull the trigger on termination.

I'm down for the "developer in denial" status, but without knowing how the dev team works, I don't think it's fair to point at a single person with the blame.

Compare it to what the head of the Federal Bureau of Prisons knows about a prison cell: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

This is the guy in charge of every federal prison in the United States of America, and he makes up a bullshit answer for a Congressman. I'm very disappointed in this Administration.

Not to mention CNET.com has been pretty much ruined. It's nothing but adware loaded crap now. Has SourceForge been messed with yet?

Wonder if an editor will reply to a three digit UID?

The solution is simple. Dump the beta and tell everyone that any proposed changes will come from the community (NOT "the audience").
