   I was not bashing your article. I simply thought it was a case of submitters editorializing the titles. I still wish linux would stop copying others (bad) UI and go their own way. If anything, they should be copying Apple's pixel perfect mo

   1) I don't think Ubuntu's UI is any better than Apples UI. If anything it's the same bad copy of the Windows 98/2000/XP/7 lineage of program management tools in control panel that linux has beed copying all the way back to RedHat's RPM pack

   I use multiple lines but if it's more than four or so args I usually think to myself. "Am I doing this wrong?" and try to refractor and do it 20% smarter.

   It's a really great start and I have been thinking a lot about this problem as every year during ski season I pine for an AWD vehicle of some kind and start bouncing between car manufacturers sites. I search both visually but I also like to

   Speaking of streaming servers, does anyone have experience with erlyvideo in production? http://erlyvideo.org I have it up and running on my mac - the web UI could use some love though.

   Good. I would expect, and hope for, support for http streaming on Amazons CloudFront service soon since they use Adobe's media server already. [1] This would be really helpfully for some indie iOS developers. [1] http://aws.amazon.com/clou

   In california, it's like 20 bucks[1] to put a lien on someone's property, business etc. Attorneys do this all the time as well as just turn the bill over to an agency to collect. http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/smallclaims/collectlien

    Try for a contract QA position. Also, tell us where you live. Maybe someone here knows of an open position looking for QA's... It's still who you know so make sure you know people in the tech field. Also try programming again because you ar

    This hit a nerve for me. I keep going back and looking at Engine Yard Hoping there will be something there for me but I just can't justify moving from Heroku for the ruby stuff. They have so many knobs to turn and a nice low entry point for

    We used it to make a simple android app in the last month. It worked and I sure liked writing the app in JavaScript vs Java but we ran into huge issues with Titanium caching resources during the build process that were supposed have be remo

    "but my skill set it a bit past my career level because I throw myself into my job" What does this mean? It's your job to advance your own career. Start looking for a new job right now. Give yourself a time limit and get yourself in another

    Speaking from experience anytime your commute in sf includes more than one bus or MUNI to another system like BART or caltrain your soul will be quickly crushed. A bike ride to caltrain from the Mission or greater Castro area is also doable

    Are you choosing a language or a framework? You should try both and play with both of their frameworks and take the path that feels right and gets things done most quickly initially. It's not one or the other. It's have tools in your belt a

    If you have done some web development before (maybe python, maybe php, maybe ASP 1.0) go read the getting started guides and get rolling. It's a big framework and there is a lot there but if this not your first rodeo it's not going to take

    I still find the simulator way too slow to be useful but I guess I am just spoiled by the Apple development tools. I agree that adb is really really useful for uninstalling and for the all important test of your APK files right before you s

    I've had one half built sitting on my hard drive for about a year. Perhaps I will take it in a less creepy and more anonymous direction than what the color people are doing. It has a horrible (or awesome!!) name and uses GAE as a backend. W

    Leave it in the bank/taxable account for a rainy day/opportunity/blood-in-the-water scenario. 10K is not really enough to create a "Balanced" portfolio of stocks. You could buy mutual funds or bet on a few stocks but that's not as valuable
