Comment When evil men burn, and the good remain silent (Score 1) 240

Then there is no voice for the people to ignore, because they probably wouldn't care unless it was their baby's crib that was burning anyway

Because stuff like forests and nature and stuff adds too much complexity, makes the general populace forget the simple truth

That it's all about anal

Comment We will buy Greenland, and Denmark will pay for it (Score 1) 344

Trump buys Greenland, the ice sheet melts and Denmark gets flooded (again).

With the rest of Europe being full of immigrants, the poor Danes have little choice but to evacuate to Greenland, buying back their old land at a premium price.

Because Trump is a real estate genius, and the next trump tower will be looks much more magnificent when it is surrounded by ice.

Comment C and/or Pascal (Score 1) 632

The 2nd and 3rd year of high school, we had about 3 hours a week of computer science. Basically we were given tasks that we could solve in either Pascal or C (which all the cool kids preferred). The mandatory assignments were quite basic, but we were allowed to do our own projects in the time we had left after doing the mandatory stuff. So a couple of us made a multiplayer 2d space shooter, quite a fun project.

All in all it was my favorite class. But I did go the science/electro program, '99 graduate in Sweden.

Comment Dress for the occasion and the culture (Score 1) 432

For everyday apparel, I would go with the same level of formality as the other people of your (new) level in the company.

If you are meeting with customers, it's all about knowing them. Don't come in an IBM style blacksuit-whiteshirt-tie clothes if you are meeting with jeans and t-shirt guys.

And don't listen to people saying "You must wear slacks and a shirt" or any such idiocy. It always depends on the local culture. I work at a gaming studio at the moment, and people at all levels are just going with the style they are comfortable in. Studio head is consistently jeans+t-shirt. Before that, online poker where it was uniformly jeans/khakis/slacks + polo/shirt across the whole company. Before that, management consultancy - even the drones were suit-and-tie.

And when it comes to the notion of "dress above your position so people think of you as a boss". My personal (but untested belief) is that dress so you look good, while not going below the expected formality is the optimal strategy.
