I had to post a response to this: LOL for 1 minute... Also: don't post if your business DSL stops working. Or your ISP. But maybe if you find your BGP from your upstream is poisoned/severely b0rken.

Whilst I generally agree with your view on innovation and the whole "special friends club". But 20% time wouldn't counter the innovator's dilemma: there will still be established power structures in place, reaching to the top levels of the

Absolutely, pure innovators dilemma. Seems Yahoo! tried to solve this with their "brickhouse" program, a new product incubator, but ultimately it seems that was too disruptive and got axed.

Right, call control with asterisk, and GSM stack in software. As far as I was aware, the GSM processing isn't much more intensive than equivalent: Ethernet packet assembly + TCP/IP + HTTPS? I thought all the DSP happened in USRP. So out of

+5. You can run the whole stack on a router. It's basically doing call control for a couple of channels. The heavy lifting is done in USRP.

20 - 30? What are you writing?! I work mostly on integration code. I'd say I see more like 60% code to handle errors, exceptions, etc.

"Lots of places are just looking for smart developers because there's lots of things to do rather than looking for somebody to fulfill a specific task." That. If you are that company, I don't want to work for you. You have to have a mission

I don't know if I can think of any major software company, that is not purely consumer focused, that doesn't have some sort of professional services group (Amazon AWS may be an exception - but they did have some talented "advocates" or "cha

It's been around for a while. It got some occasional advertising on UK TV due to a celebrity backer/founder. I understand they have been quite successful.

Resistance is futile! The dawn of the age of the cyborg? These are important advances. Combine with dermal drug dispensing - there is a whole new world of telemedicine coming.

You're not in control when you are pulled over. But its in the police officers interest to let you believe you are, as you will act in a predictable manner.

Is there any other way??? :) I thought everyone did this - well... for small datasets, skip the back, use a transaction. Rollback if your step 5 failed and try again.

I expect it will compare favourably, except it's first person shoot-em-up style. I wonder how it will compare to Entropia Universe (fka Project Entropia). They've also had a persistent, single instance, MMORPG universe for a long time. They

Maybe it should become standard Telsa practice to provide all of this information to the journalists within 24hrs of the end of their test drive. That way there will be no confusion, and the facts are plain for the journalist to see, and us

Yes. It's not a direct comparison, but you don't see motoring journalists complaining about running out of petrol. "I only though I had to put $5 in... and it told me it was no longer empty... why did I run out 100miles down the road?"

Why? Writers are expected to deliver a "good read". Nothing beats a bit of tragedy! Writing a review that stands out against lots of positive reviews can give you a reputation as someone who isn't scared of controversy. This could have been

You are becoming an expert in something: your business. In fact THE expert.

The phrase "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it" comes to mind.... If you don't know where to aquire (buy) 0-days, then you probably shouldn't know.

Lets think of a restaurant... Who do you give the credit to for a great meal? Who gets the tip? The person who set up the restaurant? The person who created the menu? The person who sourced the raw ingredients? The person who prepared the r

Android was made by a company far smaller then Canonical. Canonical's OS and Android share the same Linux heritage. Canonical has proved it is able of writing a window manager. Linux is pretty advanced to support low power mobile devices. I

You're worried about the germs? I'm worried if there is water in the sink and the fan kicks in at 400mph, what happens to that displaced water? The AirBlade when it's not properly calibrated makes a big enough mess as it is...

True on the walls and the water pool. Not true on the drying faster. The sheet of air is much more efficient than the xlcerator.

I wonder how much Microsoft likes OpenStack... I can guess, given how much they and their customers like System Center.

Add to that the warping of some of the larger "flat" pieces, the inevitable chipping that takes place when you store a lot of it together.
