You are right, but they made enough that they don't have to depend on others will to work with them again - selling your soul is a surprisingly popular option when the price gets that high.

It doesn't need sunlight, it needs to be dissolved in what the person was on this when he taught about that treaty: acid.

I have this feeling that most of what they do don't really matter that much, but is more of a habit that works for them, but not necessarily something that would work for a new writter.

I don't know your home town, but is the train station the only place a lot of people would want to store their bikes?

Because at least where I live the center of the city is packed with bikes during the warm part of the year and some of the places have four times as many bikes as there are spaces in the bike rack.

It is definately Hans Zimmer, but with the short part they used in the movie it might as well have been the theme to The Rock.

At least the _ part is used in both Haskell and Prolog.

Properly, but does the blogger who told the story know that?

I love how you get a 90 day money back guarantee - when you pay for the next three years.

Sure, but today all it takes is a few people determined to kill themself - with all the technology that is available today, the power of a small dedicated group is vastly bigger today that it was 65 years ago, and it is only likely that it will get even bigger.

Sure, but the world has changed in the several centuries since.

Today travelling across the world to receive information isn't something most people would do - or even think about. After all, the price of information has crashed even more than stocks in Lehrman Brothers.

The reason the Prussians knew how to defend against the Soviets was that they where the closest thing to an intellectual heir to Sparta - most of what they did was focused on making their population ready for war.

Regrettably, that tactic is properly near impossible to use today - the US can't defend her own borders, and the world is so interconnected that stopping all foreign trade would result in mass starvation.

Agreed, but would it be difficult to have a checkbox marked "revoke all permissions to use my account from all applications" to the reset password menu?

Democracy doesn't have to be total, it can be limited.

But you are right, it isn't without some very big costs.

The reason we do this is that many of them have split the article or several "pages", which is super annoying to read.

That is an interesting oversight, but it properly steams from the notion that most people would get involved with Clojure as a way to escape from Java.

Anyway Sun has some not to horrible articles that explains Java and you might be able to find information there.

In addition, the stackoverflow.com is a great way to ask these kinds of questions since they have a lot of former and current Java developers.

No, not really the primitive one is quite good and for anything more advanced you will need Emacs anyway.

Throw Maven the hell away - ant is more than powerful enough for your needs and really simple to extend.

I am not so sure of that: Intuit seems smarter than I would have assumed by making him vice president. I would not assume that they wouldn't also recognize that bureaucracy is bad.

Because you care about your work?

Granted you are being exploited, but some people will rather slave away than being seen as a greased wheel.

If the population collectively goes against their government there can be no doubt as to the outcome: The politicians lose.

Swat teams are only effective against small groups and individuals - they can't kill 300 million+ people.

Well I guess they need that fanatical support.

Personally I would just say fire the support people and use the money to hire somebody that can actually deal with servers.

That might work if the guy interviewing you have seen it, but I just really want to reply to can "can you write a function to traverse a tree" with "yes, on page 3 of the source code to the compiler I implemented in clojure".

Just to compare it - does anybody have a link to some _modern_ surgery tools?

Because, while cleaner, I don't think they would be less likely to let your blood run cold.

Too bad, I had considered emulating OSX to see if it was worth something but I guess I will just continue using a real computer.

Or just take your own advice and bring a code portfolio.

But those companies was properly not those he was replying to.

Sure if you want to get into Frogcreek or Google then you need to spend months preparing (which is why I wont, since it is in the end just another job), but honestly many companies would be happy hiring somebody who cared enough to write a blogpost.

You should send out letters with the goal of maximizing the opportunity you get a job offer. Thus it might be very valid to spam a lot of companies with a generic offer.

This doesn't apply if you want to work of a few select companies, such as Frogcreek or Google, but most companies have so similar that they aren't worth customizing for.

They won't. All this does is remove a convenient excuse they have to throttle the bandwidth.

They might not have a leg to stand on with an anti trust suit if Microsoft blocks their own ads as well.

Not that that will prevent a suit, but it would be useful as a defence.
