I completely agree. In any field of sufficient complexity, 2 years isn't enough time to learn enough to have an informed opinion on reforming it. Like many others here, I work in I…

Using such language is a guarantee that such an effort will not succeed. Of course it's important and it's inevitable but calling it an "emergency" would by hyperbole and cause it …

When I was an intern, my boss insisted that I learn Perl. I had not yet been introduced to the ways of the monks but I learned quickly. Perl is still my go-to language when I need …

That's a fair call-out. I cannot link to any double-blind, peer reviewed studies. I'm referencing only my personal experience and gut.

I'm probably one of those people that you hold in contempt. There are more guns than there are fingers in my house. I am unabashedly pro gun. I have testified at hearings on behalf…

In my opinion, there are 3 types of people who get into law enforcement. 1. People who legitimately want to serve and protect their communities. 2. People who want a steady governm…

I post pictures on Facebook of myself and my children shooting guns. I had one high school classmate who wanted to become a cop. He was a runt who discovered weightlifting and ster…

Considering how many people go into law enforcement because they want to play with military toys without the burdens of military service, it's going to be hard to pull them away fr…

I think that manufacturers are too busy trying to be the Steve Jobs of cars. They're thinking about making their vehicles look differently than everyone else's instead of thinking …

It's so bad that I'd rather just scan my ID and get a product that contains pseudoephedrine.

Someone that passionate can probably be mentored into the skill set necessary to do the job. I spent a year at a TA at a University and in that time I had two students who were rea…

My favorite Apple related What-If is What If Gassee hadn't been so greedy when Apple was interested in buying the BeOS?

My experience is anecdotal but I have observed that in Pittsburgh, the thing that was accomplished by adding bike lanes was to increase traffic congestion on roads that weren't rui…

We could decriminalize marijuana today and watch what happens. That would free up over 80% of the DEA's budget to go after meth and heroin.

It's helping law enforcement maintain high budgets. The drug war fuels the violence of the drug trade and that violence requires the police be well equipped to handle it.

Man, that was a lot of work but at least you'll only have to do it once.

I have an OG account that's my first_name.last_name and I keep getting all kinds of other people's stuff. Apparently, one of them is a doctor with a caribbean bank account. I was g…

I have to think a lot of people left it behind because of all of the malware that was masquerading as something else.

There are so many recruitment agencies in this town that I am not disadvantaged by not working with them. Their behavior wasn't ethical. They didn't approach me. I found their job …

I understand why they did it. My decision to make them persona non grata was about not rewarding them for behavior that negatively impacted me.

Approximately 10 years ago, I was really unhappy with my work situation and was checking job postings. I found one that sounded right up my alley and I reached out to the agency th…

I may or may not have the torrent downloading right now. At this rate, it may or may not be finished some time tomorrow.

I have a philosophical problem with leaking people's personal information but I admit that I'm curious. I want to see what's in this data.

That's advice that'll get people killed. This isn't a junkie wanting your wallet. This is someone forcibly entering your home with weapons and assaulting you. You have to assume th…

I am of the opinion that the government taxes rich people more because there are fewer of them and they are less likely to vote out the politicians who do it. It's the masses votin…
