The game is on! Please place your bets! So now we see who is the real powerhouse and if the Facebook is the Google killer hype lives up to its expectations. I place my bet on Google, I also see in my crystal ball that Zuckenberg is going to

Is Steve Jobs an disciple of Ayn Rand? There sure seems to be a number of indicators pointing in that direction. If he is - then you can't really blame him can you? He could hardly justify charity as moral.

The other direction? You mean that people don't know how to talk to me? I don't have tentacles growing out of my head you know... Could you elaborate a bit?

All is true. But please, nobody comes from doctors saying they're bad communicators. They say that they are educated. Some people accept that they don't understand and just heed the advice or ignore it altogether or something in between, wh

ummm, No! From anecdotal experience - the training plan he describes is something I did when I started out mountainbiking and ran straight into a probably best coach in vicinity. My training program was a lot like the one described in the a

DHH is a force of nature. Usually appears around topics that are part of Enterprise folklore and causes combustion of said topic. DHH also caused Rails to happen. With it the DHH spawned another force of nature called the Rails community. T

They do IMHO. No their function is not to divine when did Noah leave the ark and how did all those animals and humans repopulate the earth in 4k and something years. Their job is to ask "stupid" questions. Their job is to analyse the result

Knowledge is leverage. Leverage works as interest upon interest. Therefore gradual non-improvement is the same as rapid decline. Loosing 3 percent a year where everybody is standing still is not that different as standing still in a world w

Social media is a nonexistant. It's something somebody at Facebook (or Twitter) dreamed up to hype and justify existence. From henceforth I declare this movemenet DuncanIdahia - you may not have heard of us - but we're growing tremendously

But I seriously doubt that ARM chipmakers not getting access to DRM core would constitute anti-competitive behaviour. Especially since these are completely different markets who do most stuff differently. Thats what I wanted to point out

I'd like to apologize, since I am not a native speaker. So when faced with subtleties I might not perceive them properly. That said I'm aware of what I wrote and how it doesn't make sense. And now for the record to just rehash what I am doi

What about them? Is Intel supposed to just implement it for them or something? Or are they supposed to get to their own terms with them studios?

Why the downvote?

AFAIK Intel and AMD cross-license everything. And its not that tech runs just from Intel to AMD. x64 is AMD tech that got adopted by Intel. Monolith multi-core technology is also something Intel adopted from AMD. Intel wouldn't dare destroy

To give you more detail. Addict is never really cured. Once you're through with addiction, the cravings are there for life. Whenever you need to release your steam the craving for drug kicks back in. My mentee is coping with that through wr

I'm currently supervising an 37year old rookie . He had some absence issues, so I confronted him. Tuns out he is an ex-addict (that's why he's rookie at 37). I don't have a problem with people trying to straighten themselves out. He doesn'

Oh another (more probable?) possibility. Goldman invested into FB - so they can now act as marketmaker for their customers.

Or Goldman is so loaded with money that they have to put it somewhere - anywhere.

Indeed, while CIA ain't that smart or capable like some people believe (aliens? flying saucers? mind controlled drones?), they are also not as moronic and bureaucratic as others believe. They probably are significantly bureaucratic as any o

I would like to clarify on this issue a bit. 1. Declaratively the governments are indeed taking IT security seriously. Thus many guidelines, laws and other formal documents regarding IT security have been accepted. Unfortunately many of the

Well so do mountaineers - when there not at the edge of life due to exhaustion in the "death zone". I'm in same millieu with some of the greatest climbers of the world. And generally they are some of the best (read moral, ethical, sincere)

Nobody would want to go? I'd go to friggin Mars, just to step on its red soil. I'd go there on a one way trip to stay there and die and I'd sign up tomorrow. If I only could. But sadly modern world is too worried about my well-being to let

According to Wiki Larry founded Oracle in 1977 with his investment being mere 1400$ (even inflation adjusted that is a small number) of his own money. He was also aged 33 at the time, which makes it the more awesome if you compare him to th

That is not due to work shortage - but due to shortage of work that can be done by socialistic, highly (unproductively) unionized and unqualified work-force. Eastern Germany will stay like that until the workforce that was raised in sociali

Probably there is no proof therefore it is a conspiracy theory. However - pitting women against enemies - either to seduce them or to just get them out of the way (via extortion) has happened before .

Indeed. Duly noted. I'm not a native speaker, but it seems to me that the comment still works - "won over" as neutral form of implying that government got what it wanted in contrast to "won, over" that implies negative connotation of the sa

It's not that terrorists have won . It's more that government used terrorist threat to win over citizens.
