I got one, this is my first Kindle. I am incredibly impressed than they produced something like this proced at $79 dollars. Instant delivery of thousands of book, supposed 2 months of battery life, extremely light, fits in my pocket. This i

This makes sense to me. Many people, including myself, just dump icons on the desktop. Every time I open the start menu it seems like I am digging forever to find what I want.

I have invested a lot of time into sivlerlight app. I think the best possible outcome is that Windows 8 Metro will support silverlight natively and silverlight apps will be sold in the app store. I always thought of silverlight as a stalkin

I blame Pret A Manger. They have been doing this for years, I think the goal has been to make you think it is not a store, but a collection of foodstuffs curated a manic pixie dream girl, and oh yeah, you can totes buy the bananna bread! It

Yeah, the company I work for does not track it but there is always sort of a sneering attitude towards people who take time off "You are not hardcore enough"

Can't drag the stickers on an iPad. Are there any sites that support drag/drop on an iPad or is it not possible.

Yeah, I'll just keep on googling on DuckDuckGo. The way I make a xerox on whatever photocopier is around.

Facebook and Zynga are pretty much symbiotic now so Zynga has serious leverage, but any chance Facebook will start locking up smaller developers with exclusive deals?

This is awesome, but how do they deal building with crazy security. Would I still have to go all the way down to the building messenger center to pick up the food?

A company I worked for once installed a super secure magnetic locking system on a server room door. One day I tripped and fell, knocked into the door and it popped right open. Must have been a pretty weak magnet.

Yeah,Silverlight seems more and more to be a dead end for "rich internet applications" but it has been pretty good for LOB apps. I can take the logic out of winforms apps and I no longer have to roll application updates to thousands of desk

Hahaha, I briefly dated an HR person for bridgewater. She were very serious about culture first, skill second. They had a very strong bias towards certain Ivy League schools and certain personality traits. She gave me a long lecture when I

Right, from the sheer scope of the raids I'm sure they thought they were dealing with some sort of syndicate, probably professional criminals branching out. They were absolutely dumbfounded, they didn't know whether to slap the cuffs on me

Not much to say. It was part of operation sundevil. I was never arrested or indicted and eventually got all my equipment back. I'm not sure if it is SOP, or the Secret Service thought they were dealing with violent criminals. But they knock

I was busted in much the same way in the early 90s in NYC. Yes, it was the only realistic part of the movie. It is a bit frightening to be woken up by a man pointing a shotgun in your face when you are 13. IIRC, there was a well known NYC h

Maybe I am just lazy, but I love it when I come across a problem I have to ask someone about, that usually means I can just kick it over to them and have them fix it for me. Of course I spend half my time helping other teams, so they owe me

Of course there should be a law against taking artifacts from archaeologic sites and laws against disturbing the sites by digging. These sites should be posted though, much the same private land is posted "no hunting". Instead of throwing t

I used to have a rigidly self-enforced work/home schedule, when I was out of the office I was really out of the office. Right now I am working from home, and I find I work from the moment I get up until the moment I go to sleep. I was consi

I worked at a place with team building yoga. Interupted my work every time the yoga instructor dropped in to make us do downward dog. I tried telling them I was busy a few times but a whole office harassing you to do yoga was worse than mis

I've seen many people let go where it was a complete shock to them. One day they are cranking, next day they are out one the street. The problem is management often does not want to give warnings, or talk about how the employee can improve.

Something kind of odd going on with TNG though. My blue ray/netflix player is missing most of season 6 and 7. Hope they work by time I get that far.

This jibes with my experience. Once upon a time I know a lot of grad students in the sciences, once they found out I was a professional programmer the fun was effectively over due to a barrage of programming questions. They all hacked on so

Is there any other career where this would not be accepted as a given?

Gah,I love my iPad but I am constantly annoyed by the lack of flash. There are more and more videos embedded in web pages and it is only getting worse. Something has to give and I think I will sooner move awaymfrom the iPad than the rest of

Great to see Kozmo mentioned a few times, I still to this day have quite a few Kozmo shirts they used to send out for free. I'd like to add WinStar, they had people going pretty much door to door in Manhattan selling services, I got a prett

Pretty sure the US did this during the first gulf war to destroy stationary targets without the pesky explosion.

Not to go against the grain, but this could be useful. Say you already have some sort of datastore that uses xml. Now somebody hands you JSON for some reason, maybe a list of companies. Convert it to XML, stick it in your datastore and use

This is pretty interesting to me. "stack, dynamic memory, pointers and so on" for the most part is not something I've had to think about while programming in the last couple years. For the most part I can ignore them, and I doubt any new de

Very cool, I wrote something similar for my company's clients to annotate various online documents. The UI on corkboard is nicer but I have arrows,drawing tools and you can rotate the notes around so text can vertical if you want.
