    All respect? Really? And immediately ? If one inconsequential event like this warrants such an extreme reaction respect will be in short supply everywhere.

    Is it true that when the magnetic field flips suddenly, plane autopilot systems can become confused and crash out of the skies, killing millions en mass?

    It is good that people don't care about privacy. It means they are no longer afraid of being seen, that they have nothing to hide from the world, and in a way they are moving towar…

    The change is already happening: People don't care about privacy that much anymore. Any regulation introduced, would be to stop this change. But it will never work, you can't make …

    This is literally what every generation seems to say about the behavior and habits of the next generation. I think it's pretty clear "break down" just means changes you don't like.…

    If I could go back, knowing what I know now, I don't think I would have asked the question. I was a fool to think I could get any sort of simple response.

    You can do all those things with vim. Look it up.

    Remember when putting a picture of yourself on the internet or even using your real name was controversial? The old generation warned not to do it, ever! But teens did it widely an…

    My advice would be to learn and master vim. When I began programming, I was forced to use vim and hated it, I didn't understand why someone would use such an "old school" text edit…

    It wasn't rhetorical and I really would have been interested in the OP's answer. Had they answered truthfully, it would have helped expanded my understanding of how some people thi…

    I asked a question, I don't think I need to provide some counter argument with it. If I must argue something, I'd say the housing crisis example wasn't so simple as it was presente…

    And I never said the poor are at fault for everything, but I'm being treated as such it seems. What I want to know are examples of things that the poor are at fault for.

    What are the poor legitimately at fault for then? I'm tired of this implication that the poor can never be at fault for anything, because they are so poor. It is an overly simplifi…

    $80/hr, no more, but possibly less. The number they bill you out at matters, but not for reasons you think. You do not want to work somewhere that cannot make at least twice as muc…

    Surprised at the down votes here, is this to imply that things should just carry on as usual with no real consequence or remedy?

    Should the engineers who were responsible for this be punished or retrained?

    Must be a nightmare when installing a new Linux distro in text mode and having bird seeds as characters.

    What makes you think the optimal holding period is around 3 to 5 years?

    This wouldn't bring in too much money and it would just discourage long term investment. The last thing we need is more short term thinking.

    Something about the stairs of the building in the main photo looks extremely dangerous, like one could easily fall off a side, or if someone were standing at the top of the stairs,…

    Wouldn't leaving the site be a valid way to opt out?

    I think Facebook outrage is more justified than past grievances. What exactly was the outrage toward Microsoft back then? A company trying to make money? Preposterous!
