I suspect part of the problem is that you cannot release a new major edition every 6 months - whereas Terry prattchet turns out a new discworld novel to roughly that schedule. Additionally the IP/brand of 'Dungeons and Dragons' is an asset not owned by the author. Managing these issues may be a bit ...

The only thing that is close to the NSA sabotaging cryptographic algothrims is that they knew how to beat DES long before everyone else did - you can see from the advice they provided on S-Box design. The legend about NSA sabotaging crypto comes from the design of DES. What happened is something lik...

One of the things I suspect that is inhibiting our communications here is the differences with which a degree is respected in various fields - in some fields, a degree is almost considered worthless, while in others it seems that it is much more highly valued. echo In most of the professions, a deg...

If the point is about bioware's games, you need to ask what percentage of straight male gamers create a woman - I almost always play a woman (voice acting is better, model is better, dialog is always funnier) or try both, but my housemate always makes a guy. He's really complaining that the options ...

It's almost impossible for the Israeli's to agree to peace, because the proportional representation ensures that the hard right factions end up being involved in any government. So as a result the Israeli's have this bizarre desire to act like huge cockheads. However, both sides are dicks. Fuck I ha...

I cannot summon up the willpower to care about this game. I could probably fight off frank, but I'm not having fun any more. Unless someone wants to sub, I will go AI. What's got you down? Is it the micro? The key to having any sort of shot at winning this game I have to negotiate with Frank. Frank...

Re: Corporate Space
Not quite sure what kind of arguments I can give to a friend of mine who strongly feels that NASA shouldn't be a gov't agency, and stuff like it should be privatized (profit breeds innovation in her opinion). Unfortunately, I don't have any good arguments. NASA needs, "a man and a plan" t...

Re: Selling your expertise to laymen
It's just job interviewing. You reference tangible achievements you have, then to 'make it real' wheel out an anecdote. For example, when discussing client engagement/stakeholder management, I have a specific range of high profile projects that I mention and my role in them, then tell a story about ...
