There are too many news articles about morons getting their panties in a twist over a Christmas sweater or a red cup.
There are far more "news" articles about people getting the panties in a twist over a Christmas cup than there are people getting their panties in a twist over a Christmas cup.
That's not an explanation. It's bullshit handwaving. Women can do whatever they want, and make up the majority of college graduates, and have for 30 years: http://www.forbes.com/sites/cc... If most of them choose a career path that isn't "Code Monkey", who's to say that they've made the wrong choice? The next question, then, is, "For whom is this actually bad?"
And who really wants to be a code monkey, anyway? Big coding shops are more like an assembly line. The pay is good because of competition -- or at least it will be until the market is even more flooded with "programmers."
What about the French dream... what's wrong with pursuing your dreams in France or any other country for that matter?
We changed that to the "Freedom dream." Along with freedom fries, freedom kissing, the freedom braid, freedom toast, renamed the Gene Hackman movie "The Freedom Connection," and freedom onion soup.
Or, how about the fact (yes, fact) that most people [citation needed] use the same password for a variety of services? A unique enough email address can lead to one's online identity being discovered, and now the nefarious turd has your password.
Then again, maybe the person already checked those vectors and is just trying to make a little more money off the list.
More like, "Bruce Schneier predicts current trend will continue based on observance of current trend continuing."
There's already a word for it.
.Such code is the result of coders who rely on the compiler too much, and their brains too little.

Also, get off my lawn.
Look at the places where people still haggle over crap like a bag of rice or a pair of pants. Their economies are always underdeveloped with a low standard of living. Moreover, look at the most successful retailers: Walmart, Amazon, Target, that Swedish furniture chain, etc. They all have posted prices. They dominate global retail. If haggling was efficient and productive then some Egyptian or Bangladeshi retail chains would dominate global retail. This is not the case. The price tag was one of the most important innovations of capitalism. So why the fuck do we still by cars like some old lady in a 3rd world market haggling over some melons?
Walmart and other big chains offer rock bottom prices compared to smaller operations by amortizing losses over a broad range of products and geography. Lose money or make very little on this product; make a large margin on something else.
That said, I prefer not to haggle over the price of goods. But that said, other models like the sort-of-but-not-really crowd funding model of Gustin are intriguing.
4. People who aren't dependent-buyers.
The ability to walk away is important. If you are shopping for a car because your car died and you don't have super credit or savings, haggling works about as well as bluffing in poker. You may not have the stomach for that, but it isn't the fault of the haggling system.
Mexico is basically a third world country. The homes on the coast will blow over almost immediately.
Won't someone think of the expats!?
How long is the recorded history of similarly accurate storm measurement? How old is the planet? Maybe we're just in a cycle that is a bit longer than the amount of time people have been able to measure hurricanes, or have been able to measure them as accurately.
It's funny reading this today, because yesterday my smtp server was getting attacked by a Samsung DVR.
I'm fairly certain my Xbox is bullying my PS3.
You can burn out the motor coils in the cameras by hacking the software and over driving them?
Maybe the cameras burned themselves out because they were tired of being our slaves?
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
