Yeah totally agree. I've got about 8 years under my belt (first proper coding job in '04 and I'm 32 now, notwithstanding a lifetime tinkering with computers though). Still loving it and learning new things every day, hope it stays that way

I think it makes more sense to start measuring from the time you started professionally programming ... so if the 57 year old parent has been programming for 33 years that suggests that he's measuring from when he left full time education (

Google made a mobile OS because no other company had the software expertise to even remotely challenge Apple. Before Android the OS software from Nokia, Samsung etc. looked like bad jokes compared to iOS. Google created an open source platf

I think everybody would agree that all is fair in love and war. Any company is free to go after any market, any adversely impacted existing relationships are tactical losses. What's important is how all parties move forwards after the event

You don't need an internet connection to get a GPS fix, so this app would work fine anywhere I think. You then need internet connectivity to sync your accumulated lat/long data back to your account.

Yeah, FlashDevelop was (and still is) ace! I think Adobe were beginning to figure it when they started to let you do AS3 only projects in FlexBuilder, whenever that was, maybe a little longer than 2 years ago. FlashBuilder is a brilliant ID

Up until a few years ago I was a full time Flash developer, working in ActionScript3 which is a strictly typed, fully OO language which conforms completely with the 4th edition of ECMAScript. I used a great IDE (FlashBuilder) that had full

Monit does this pretty easily http://mmonit.com/monit/ You can monitor web services, processes, file modified dates, directories, loads of stuff all with email alerts and a web-front end too.

Liked it! Although the image of the model is horribly cut out, especially on the left of his head. Its the very first thing I saw and it screams "amateurish" at me. Not that the site as a whole is amateurish, just that bit! Also the photo l

Not all housing in London is like that. Like any city it's hard to find the best areas and nicest deals as a newcomer. A lot of the nice/cheap flats are snapped up very quickly by people in privileged positions (i.e. nice flats may be pas

Erm, don't we already have a "native app model" for PCs?

There's a distinction between ownership of (or attachment to) physical items, dogmatic belief, relationships, whatever vs. opening up new frontiers within which we can conduct commerce and expand into. One is to do with our personal mental

It depends on how you define ownership. In the context of the linked article the concept of "ours" is obviously defined as our ability to exploit space, to colonise it and expand our influence into it. We're not talking about sitting at hom

What made you think the author was suggesting space should be exploited without use of tools like ownership and investment? In fact, he even says about space: "We need to take it". If that doesn't imply intended ownership I don't what doe

The user you replied to is (humorously) suggesting that since the SkyDrive ToS are so objectionable they are quite likely to incite profanity (at least amongst the internet cognoscenti), thus itself becoming a forbidden item under its own T

There's a reason Dropbox won't introduce smaller plans. As it stands the vast majority of Dropbox Pro users aren't filling up their boxes much at all, effectively paying for capacity and bandwidth they're not using, and subsidizing a minori
