> Which means nothing.

It means that the OPs implied assertion that I fit his (probable) stereotype of the ignorant gringo is obviously incorrect.

> the viewpoint of the MAJORITY of population of said countries

Not sure how you get that, or even what it means, really.

> You should live outside USA for a while

That's amusing, considering I was born in Mexico. Keep trying to 'school' me though, you're doing great.

To paraphrase Jamie Zawinski, all online conversations about geopolitics expand until the United States is at fault.

Even in Visual Studio that's not true, at least not for me. Just move the cursor to the symbol in question, hit the menu key and select the 'Go to definition' or whatever menu item. Or better yet, map it to something like Ctrl+] which I usually do.

You seem to come across as petulant rather than someone who is challenging an entrenched competitor with innovation or whatever. Less talking, more doing. Just a thought.

That was a shame. I'm still using Winamp 2.81 (from 2002, 10 years ago). As long as it continues to work on Windows, I'll never let it go. Never could get used to the later versions.

Go troll somewhere else.

You can say the same about just any other politician. They all made (and make) mistakes and stumble. The key is how history judges them. In the case of Reagan I think history is pretty clear about what he accomplished and what he didn't. Notice I said "I think" because that's just my opinion; everyone is entitled to one. Informed opinions are not embarrassing. Waving your arms and pushing your own absolutes on other people however can be quite so.

Conspiracy theories aside, WebGL is more a threat to the Adobe Flash monopoly than anything else.

> you will see WebGL games starting to take down PC games sales

More like Angry Birds and whatnot... we're a long way from running something like Skyrim or Call of Duty on a browser.

They'll simply report they haven't been able to implement the report, someone will get a slightly lower evaluation score and life.gov will go on as usual.

Strictly speaking, I would leave for two monitors rather than a big one. Productivity-wise I find that makes all the difference. But the point about the engineering culture is certainly valid.

That's a lot of jobs, even accounting for the fact that companies of that size often announce X number of positions eliminated to make investors happy but a lot of attrition ends up being "internal displacements" and accelerated retirements with chunky severance packages. Nearly 10% of a total workforce is nothing to sneeze at.
