>> so it would have cost them almost nothing to have me do it. Another way to look at this is the lost opportunity of 19 000 bean$ contract. THAT would had been very efficient for you

Yep : "Slashdot users" versus "Slashdot consumers"

the continued existence of a universe is based on its ability to produce complex structures without intelligence that would find out how to collapse it and use that as a weapon. The best protection against intelligence getting too far is a steady rate of catastrophic events. As universes get older, their contents get more evenly distributed and catastrophic events get less frequent, opening the odds up for their eventual demise.

Many people move on from programming to management or entirely other careers because it is so hard. What makes most existing systems hard to develop is the unnecessary complexity, lack of or overabstraction and negligence of test code. Management coming from such mess and never seeing anything better can not strive for anything better. It is hard to navigate such an enviroment and stay sane and become productive. Once you succeed it is highly rewarding to coach younger team members. I'm living proof of that and there are plenty more at least in the Finnish agile circles. Career age would be of essence to anyone looking for real successful team leads.

Text all the way.

Most of those images were invented only because it was expected at the time to have a picture for every action, which was kikd of stupid in first place.

It dragged them down unnecessarily and nobody figured any way to use it for anything so they schemed a plot to leave it behind.

It probably won't hurt your corporate image too much to bolster some idealism every once in a while.

Myself I'm an elitist bastard who only takes jobs at very liberal companies, but through the contemporary global society this corporate/bureucratic culture of general hostility is bound to make its mark on the lives of us free dwellers as well. Not to say I didn't care for the people suffering this in the first degree, but they've got their own choices to make. It would be best for the common good, though, if these environments would go largely disregarded.

If the streams were secured, there'd be a monopoly or oligopoly of the information thereof, paving way for police states. As long as it's publicly accessible (though it should be properly accounted and publicly listed) it's common knowledge to be leveraged by all. Want to check whether your friends are hanging at their usual place? Check it out from the live stream. Want to see how it's like to live on the other side of the world? Want to follow an uprising in Tunisia? Likewise.

Awesomely clearly explained context and subject matter. This is one of the reasons why c# is so nice to write in itself even if it's not very unixy.

Looking forward to scala myself.
