    I don't know what happened and I fully admit that, but let's take the cop section out of it, so none of this "Cops lie all the time" business. 1) A person was shot by someone at th…

    Why aren't people paid a full time salary for the work they're expected to do instead of the time they sit at a desk? It's a question I genuinely struggle with. If the employee is …

    He needed to look at hardware platforms of the past. If you can't get people to develop for a system and make good apps, then the hardware is useless.

    It's a matter of priorities. If we decide these things are important as a nation they don't have to be scarce. We make the best war machines on the planet and spend a lot of money …

    It can't be too much of a surprise that a lot of white collar jobs involve a fair amount of BS. I have 3 to 4 meetings a day and only 1 or 2 are really necessary =[

    What do you see as your best routes to monetization on the Apple v. Android and how FTP differs on each platform? Also, what routes of promotion have you been taking to build a cus…

    This! I have resisted the Apple platform due to personal tastes but if they get the blood sugar monitor working (which they say they're close to), I'll switch my entire platmorm ec…

    LOL, according to this, my family's group text thread is illegal under this law, as DMs can only be between 2 people. EDIT: serious question; would Slack be professional networking…

    It's almost sad to admit these days but Flash started me down my path with Actionscript. It was the first language I thought I could really use and threw myself into, creating smal…

    So, first off, I am not very literate when it comes to the comings and goings of banking procedures, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. Would an incident like this make othe…

    Drugs ate pushed on television stations a hundred times a day. There are so many commercials for drugs, it's disheartening. There are adds to be more beautiful, thinner, more muscu…

    At that point, why bother to allow gambling or alcohol a place in society. If people truly have no self determination, why not let a state or federal agency dictate all of their ri…

    This is exactly why I didn't get a degree in biology. Organic chem was at 7:30 in the morning and I couldn't cut it that early in the morning. All the lectures just washed over me.…

    Isn't that attrition going to happen anyway? And with mass layoffs, wouldn't top talent, with plenty of options, be wary of a company who is likely to layoff 7% of its staff to ple…

    If you want a somewhat existential answer, I treat my life like I treat my art. It's open for interpretation but I know what I'm trying to say with my life. Figure out what you wan…
