    Redundant functionality to JavaScript is redundant. That being said I'm all for designers having baby steps they can use to simulate some of the functionality of JavaScript. After …

    He never mentions how much money he's will to pay to 'get stuff done.' In fact it sounds like he's not willing to pay anything other than satisfaction. I don't have these mommy and…

    Do they get paid more if the company does better? Yes, this is the only reason to do more than asked from your job description. Otherwise you are putting money and decision making …

    The guy who wrote this article sounds like the kind of person who wants to get everyone to do his work for him. His personal problems are leaking into his work life. He probably ne…

    Probably the most promising answer, but it looks like for now the only safe bet is writing straight up java.

    Semantic language has it's limits and rightfully so. The point of communication (sometimes) is to add something new. New things by definition have no pre-defined category. Therefor…

    I got a nose job and now I can't breath as well. Of course there was a risk, but if I would have known it would be this bad I never would have done it. The doctor did everything he…
