The entitled douche bags may be in the spotlight, but our generation is perfectly prepared. We me be overlooked, but I say without hesitation that no generation has had such a wealth of opportunity before it and the means to make it real. 6

Rather than waste early years in dead-end work, he reasoned, he would hold out for a corporate position that would draw on his college training and put him, as he sees it, on the bottom rungs of a career ladder. Prima donna. At least he h

The obsession people have with 'genius' is due to a misguided understanding of what genius is and an assumption that it somehow makes life significantly easier. It's the same obsession people have with the lottery and believing it will solv

If they ever do an all electric NASCAR that will be one quiet race with the exception of the air wrenches changing tires and automated battery replacement swapping.

What I think people really could use is a site where special consideration to the implementation is given so that the code can be located more by a drill down. You still need to give special consideration suited to your own specific needs a

I worked on a popular medical imaging application that was released with Win95 support and still working with Vista/Win7. That's some impressive longevity. Mind you there were adjustments along the way to support newer DirectX libraries etc

I think the language has evolved well, but the framework certainly has some useless cruft. Luckily that can be ignored.

And as far as getting into the framework you can disassemble down to the IL if you like which is also well documented. For most people Reflector is good enough.

As long as they're there by free will and not silent peer pressure, great for them. Otherwise, condolences.

It never meant anything before. Even a focused laser can be pulsed, diffused, or reflected before it hits its target.

Yes, as long as whatever amount invested isn't going to cause sleepless nights and you're willing to wait 5-10 years before you sell it.

In the next 12-18 months we're going to see a flattening of features added to the phones. They've basically been adding feature subsets that mirror the evolution of PCs, culminating with Internet integration, though this time with seamless

Agree completely, but it only takes a few insane recurring thoughts to justify that what one is doing is virtuous. I take solace that there are few Ted Kaczynski individuals deluded enough to fall into this category. Even then, they tend to

I worked for a medical imaging company last year developing the communication channel for a web portal to allow referring physicians to access study images remotely. The tablet isn't the hurdle, it's the lame network infrastructure and ridi

I think it's fairly obvious at this point that the 2 hurdles in mobile are the heterogeneous android ecosystem and the iPhone AT&T straight jacket ecosystem. For the most part, an iphone is an iphone is an iphone, but the android experi

Although, if you're talking about gaping security holes it makes better sense than some names.

Fair, but I remember one of the major sticking points was how much the carriers were willing to subsidize the cost of the phone at launch. Verizon wasn't willing to give as much as att on their contracts. There was certainly give/take, but

The carrier straight jacket is the big one. I know plenty of people that won't switch from Verizon or Sprint because ATT's network is horrible or nonexistent for them. Allowing ATT to have a 1/2 decade grip may be the biggest mistake of all

I don't know Zuckerberg or anyone that has close contact with him at Facebook. He's strikes me as the kind of person who is obviously smart, but doesn't realize how smart he is because he's always been surrounded by smart people. A cocksure

I've always likened these posters to the legal books kept on law office bookshelves. It's 2010 and I'm not sure I want to set foot in the office of a lawyer billing $200+/hr if they're seriously still sifting through tomes. I know what I'm

When I interview someone the most important questions to me are "What value can they add?", "Does their skillset overlap or fill a need in the skillset of the team?", "Will their personality and career goals mesh with the position?". The re
