What's that got to do with the price of butter?

Woosh

Educated/erudite citizens know the law is rotten to the core with not one redeeming feature. That's not to say all people working in the law are rotten but a good many are damaged …

'Compulsory schooling is, at least in theory, for the students' own good.' Rubbish. Schooling is for the good of society. Schooling != Education. Nothing in school benefits the stu…

How much time did you spend in Europe to get the idea that the health care systems are good? Having lived there for 25+ years and now 10+ in the US I can discern no difference. Bot…

The US is going to be in a world of hurt. With Europe not far behind in the pain stakes. As always the countries with the most open markets will recover first. Un-fettered markets …

Look around you. It's the people. Dumb and ignorant.

Feckless bastards

Because time and time again people with a formal education in computer science have turned out to be useless in the commercial arena. Let's face facts most programming is not rocke…

The freedom to develop code I want to in the manner I wish to. Enough of the usual crappy corporate tools/procedures/apathy. To be judged on what I produce not how many hours I'm i…

SFO International is pretty cool. Very open and light with decent A/C.

All that time spent in school you'd be better off sticking it out,

39 + B.Sc.(Hons) CompuSci

Then write a code generator.

There are more crimes committed than the police can ever keep up with. So they prioritize crimes of varying types. Why have they prioritised ticketing members of the public on the …

If you are happy with the posted speed limits and see the police as only law enforcement then nothing I have to say will make a difference.

Arguable how? To my mind they are nothing but revenue generation. A visible speed trap is far more defensible. Not vague warnings but highly visible specific identification. Even b…

Find a co-contributor. Carigslist etc. Put out an ad on the gigs forum. As a dev coming at it from the other angle. I have the skills but not many business ideas. But I also have c…
