Scrum!
The dev team at work uses the whitebaords, funnily enough. They don't really seem to like it all that much and from talking to them it does seem like it's a lot of overhead and meetings.

Norway appoints Muslim woman Minister of Culture
I don't think anyone is content with the acid and poison attacks. The reason this one attacks getting more exposure and attention is because she was a very popular figure for her willingness to speak out about education. She had received a major award from the government and there are interviews of her that are now circulating the web. Now you could take the cynical approach and go "she's getting the attention because she's a celebrity" or you can see her as a very good symbol for all the girls that have been attacked by perverse groups like the Taliban. I would hope the outpouring of attention her attack is receiving will help change Pakistani society. Well, that's hardly cynical, it is the reason - I doubt the authorities would have done squat without all this outrage and condemnation, happens everywhere and does make some sense I suppose as if you're just some plebe no one cares unless you die in droves or something. As for changing Pakistani society, heh that's one long shot.

Norway appoints Muslim woman Minister of Culture
Well, I don't think he's arguing that they're positive, at least in the last post. Two of his points are correct, the girl being a propagandist, well..I guess they could see it that way, but they're kooks. Odd though why everyone cares about this one girl getting shot in the head, seems more huff and puff outrage over this than the poisonings or acid attacks.

Nahh, you can troll for anything. People get outraged over any crap on the Internet, after all.

That was a real developer's idea of 15 minutes.

Idea: Remove of quest markers and inclusion of detailed journal.
And the choir enjoyed the sermon.

I like Deckard's quote better - "I'm a scourge, like famine or plague. Where I go the ancient curse follows." But knowing this, go on site to my client offices, bring them misery!

Pretty strict rules on collaborating then. But you can probably imagine they see it that way. Wonder what they do to people that wave at soldiers.

Hm, not too bad. Bah, too many things I want to pledge to - time to have a roll off.

Norway appoints Muslim woman Minister of Culture
Hardly the first - maybe first with a gun, they seem to like acid for these things. I guess the fact she's an activist is causing all the attention (good for her though, helps get that treatment, too). Eventually they'll start acting decently, heh.

Screenshot... what ya'll think
Their liking it is a shocker.
