If you don't like the dumbed down version, the actual article can be found here. It is quite readable.
And it is a crappy summary - as usual. Violence is not even mentioned in the article.

Amen brother. To quote the great Hoare:
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult."
It was true then, it is true now and it will remain true in the future.

Respectful is a word being thrown around a lot by believers of some god or another, but it always means the same thing. Do not question, do not criticize. I am sorry, but I am not buying. People can believe whatever they want - I sincerely do not care. But when they ask me, to "respect" their particular brand of nonsense, I am all too happy to utter the words "Fuck off".

And "some people" would call Madeleine Bunting who is known for her advocacy of religion and her dislike of atheism, well biased.

How Will Recent Financial Downturns Affect IT Jobs? 372
An anonymous reader writes "So, with the financial crisis and loss of jobs everywhere, what are the chances of getting a good IT job? I'm going to graduate this year with a BS in Software Engineering majoring in Network Security. I'll be looking for a job as a penetration tester eventually, but I hear that is hard to get right out of college so I'll be looking for a job as a Junior Network Admin or similar type of job to start off in. Is there a lack of jobs in this field? I figure computers always need fixing so they have to have some sort of IT personnel on staff to maintain the core of their business. Anyone have a good insight on this issue?"

Why is this modded insightful? He clearly does not know what ethical means.
This is said without malice, there are good points in the post, but not about ethics.
