I disagree as an American heterosexual guy who has many female friends. It works the same way any friendship works with the same sex for heterosexual men. I have positively no desi…

He seems to argue that it's very difficult to have platonic male/female friendships in a heterosexual context. Speaking as anecdotally as that article did. My first roommate was a …

When people are applying for a job you can be 99% sure they're motivated by the money I would challenge the 99% rule (I know it wasn't derived scientifically so I'm not poking fun)…

Have you ever found a replacement that works suitably without having to use DosBox?

I've had been using the Costco Kirkland AAs for a long time, but I stopped last year due to a perceived shelf life issue. In an attempt to reduce waste, I use a "battery rotation" …

My domain transfer completed today (interesting, since it said it would complete on Tuesday, but I'll chock it up to volume). Immediately before the domain transfer, I received an …

While I'm sure this would probably violate all sorts of copyright, I'd love a site that could provide alternate dubbed languages (specifically Spanish, German and Portuguese) for m…

I was seconds away from updating my status with a quote from that entry... then I saw it was from John Mayer and I realized how much grief and sarcasm I'd get for having posted and…

This is an interesting problem that I think some states in the US have at least partially solved. The highways in Michigan, for example, are almost all set at 70 MPH (minus those a…

The discussions on this post are awesome. So many are judging this is moral terms and from every perspective imaginable. The two most prevalent are: "The fight was in public, the w…

I've been tearing through this one and I have a very basic question: Because it's in the IP stack, would a software firewall offer any sort of defense here?

I think you've answered your own question here. I'd put Knuth on stage, because, he's Knuth. You know he'd have something interesting to say that would be relevant to your audience…

I agree completely and as a result I generally don't trust any news source that pretends to be objective (whatever that means in an environment where personal bias meets advertisin…

Based on what I've seen from this blog post, my initial impression is that I don't think I'm going to like the new Gmail UI (I haven't been able to use it, so this is based on the …

I'm happy with the reduction in Experts Exchange content in my search (I won't get into that at the moment, just to say that I usually find better quality content on other sites). …

I hope I'm not the only one here upvote your comment simply because you decompressed IR into Intermediate Representation. I like to read about LLVM and some of the things that are …

As a former SQL guy myself, this issue wasn't a surprise the first time I saw it. In MSSQL (and I believe this is somewhat, though not always universal since Structured Query Langu…

Thanks for the fantastic summary. I got a chuckle from one thing: besides the nearest RV park being 43 miles away (I believe I know exactly the one you're referring to), it's also …

Thanks for the correction. I was too lazy to look it up :). Being from the suburban area and not much of a "Michigan tourist", we always hear of the income tax being the "big detra…

Also note that those $6000 houses (and even less) will have property tax of several thousand per year. Detroit is still valuing houses at the rates of 10+ years ago I'm curious abo…

I'd like to speak as the man on the ground and in dire confusion while reading this article. The author has fallen into the trap that most of us living here have fallen into. We al…

Peldi-- I believe you to be correct in your fear. It doesn't scale unless you ensure the managers layers below you encourage their employees to take time off and are as flexible as…

I think the outcome of this type of policy, as mentioned by others, is largely a product of the culture of the place that you work. Where I work, we're given pretty generous paid t…

I thought about this one for a little bit and threw it into the bucket of "well, most certifications are worthless", but I don't think I fully believed that. Our security team cons…

I saw two comments when I clicked the comment link: TWAndrews: I think most people would be more enraged by "we're going to delay your flight because it's less profitable for us" t…
