If you're good at COBOL, you're almost guaranteed to find work that pays well. COBOL isn't taught in schools anywhere anymore, but a lot of legacy systems depend on COBOL, especially in the banking industry. With the old professional retiring, there is an increased demand for programmers who...

What's the point of debunking biblical miracles? Aren't they called "miracles" for a reason? A devout believer can always insist that God has a hand in everything, hence making anything possible. So, how DID all those animals fit in Noah's ark? Dunno, probably the same way Ronald Weasley and...

Because justice systems should not be subject to whims of supernatural entities. Yeah, and it's also not a big imposition on her to ask her to show her face, just like everyone else.

Nope. Well admittedly, some of his behavior in this FtB-PZ Myers-skepchick-harassment drama has been less than admirable, but I don't find anything to disagree with in his latest video. The reaction to sexism and harassment, real or imagined, by PZ Myers, Rebecca Watson and others championing...
