Comment Non-technical assignments (Score 1) 343

Assign these people some non-technical or quasi-technical responsibilities, like writing and reorganizing documentation, coordinating efforts with other organizations, or identifying legacy systems that are no longer in frequent use. These are tasks using knowledge they probably already have that are often neglected by IT teams.

Comment Re:Build colonies on Earth (Score 3) 256

IMO, it's mainly that the rest of the Universe is so much more vast than this one world, and inhabiting any part of it besides Earth will likely require some kind of artificial environment. If humans figure out how to live indefinitely on Mars or Venus, we can eventually do the same in most other star systems, of which there are billions just in this galaxy.

Comment Re:Another great Scalia line (Score 1) 1083

And yet the "three great religions" practiced by the vast majority of the people who inhabit your biosphere have for their entire collective history said that this same creator says that such a marriage is not a marriage.

Homo sapiens is estimated to be at least 100,000 years old, and the oldest of these three religions is maybe 5,000 years old, so not quite our entire collective history, unless you think the Creation Museum in Kentucky has it right.

Depending on your perspective, you may or may not think Scalia's argument is appropriate to the case today. But it's still a valid principle of democracy that unelected folks don't get to unilaterally decide law without precedent.

Not so unilateral .. this would never have happened if lower courts, some state legislatures, state referenda, and general public opinion hadn't already decided in favor of same-sex marriage.
