As someone who has mostly unsuccessfully looked for junior positions... I see some, but not many, junior positions on job sites like 37signals' or Stack Overflow's, or Monster, or …

Anyone in Prince Edward Island, ideally Charlottetown, with some sort of entry-level technically-oriented job?

You're mincing words to tell us about Japanese. Your examples seem to indicate that Japanese more naturally conveys social situations and basic descriptions at the same time, makin…

This is simply a problem with definitions, though. Whether mistake or habit, or language, dialect, or idiolect, what matters is the part that comes after. People still study the Ak…

You're hasty applying the troll label, and slow to support any of your arguments. As I mentioned above, "It's not given that this is better for newspapers than open search engine a…

Unfortunately for you, not only are people notoriously (in linguistically savvy circles) bad at properly making and recognizing all of the vowel distinctions, you're also just wron…

You could set up a karma threshold to vote, or perhaps allot an increasing number of votes per day based on karma. It doesn't depart greatly from the present karma thresholds and w…

To add to what has been said, the article notes that the Europeans responded well to infectious diseases- they quarantined and evacuated. This limited the spread and the overall le…
