   Completely agreed - as a former software developer for banks, they really don't like working on their own stuff - they typically buy it off the shelf, and don't ever think to do a hardware overhaul. But then again, while working in the indu

   While unbelievably awesome, I don't see any need to get her full name. This girl did some pretty badass stuff, and while I'm sure we'd all like to congratulate her ('cause she's hawts, amirite?), it probably would look bad for a potential e

   I like it, although reading it at 9 AM this morning just hurt until I could think about it in more detail later. Pretty awesome really.

   I just like how everyone is nerdraging about how bad Blizzard is, etc, and have completely overlooked possibly that you live in an era where offensive crap is automatically blamed on the company. Think, if you will, what the hell Fox or CNN

   But being the NY Times, are we sure they didn't just jump the gun again and it's all misrepresented? MAYBE THEY RIDE MOPEDS.

   Probably better to test software on Joe Schmoe than give you code to break right off.

    I think they're more or less interchangeable at that level. One might think of an engineer as someone who designs an application / product, but offhand I cannot think of any methodologies that explicitly have someone "design" a system witho

    I can think of an iPhone immediately (cringe) and how you can make an emergency call when the phone is locked. Have it just display something like "Emergency contact" who you can dial without displaying any more information on the person, n

    From most of the comments, what I get is that people don't like British humor, because they are pros at making fun of everyone and everything. If you don't believe me, go find a relatively comprehensive rhyming slang dictionary.
