The same data you use to say that programmers are overpaid could be seen as an indication that professional-level software development is more difficult than you think and warrants the higher salaries. Programming is one of those things that almost anyone can do, but relatively few can do well.

Either way, if there were people who could do it better or cheaper they would be.

Edit: In the interest of full disclosure, my view may be slanted because I am a developer. On the other hand, that means I've seen the subject from the inside.

I just installed the new beta DuckDuckGo browser on my Windows machine. I want to create a desktop shortcut icon for it, but I can't find where the executable is stored. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or give me another way to accomplish this?

Can someone tell me what the kbin microblog does? I'm still feeling my way around the features...

I was using the search box above the "List of Communities" and getting no results. When I switched to clicking on the magnifying glass icon at the top of the regular page it worked. I don't know why.

This was not working for me and I finally figured out why. I was using the search under "Communities" and not the general search in the upper right. It is counter-intuitive that the communities search won't find unfederated communities while the general search will, but that is how it works.

That you all for this post. It did ultimately get me where I needed to be.

The marketing will be particularly ironic since nearly all of the current companies made phones with removable batteries as recently as five years ago.

Deer used to drop off their young in our back yard to hang out with our old dog. Ash was a large and impressive shepherd mix with the most zen attitude I've ever seen in a dog. They all trusted him completely. And he did, in fact, take care of them and made sure no animals or humans bothered them.
