No. Successful projects don't look bad. If anything I hope it helps me stay clear of companies that would assume otherwise and fail to contact my former bosses used as references. I stayed 4 years at the job before those 3. My current job I

Isn't this just the tip of the iceberg? Much of it is in a suspend emulsion that doesn't neccessarily match the surface outline.

Looks more like musical chairs; the economy stopped and everyone grabbed a seat. Although, I switched jobs in November 2007, August 2008, and December 2009. It seems if you have a technical degree the job outlook hasn't really skipped a bea

I like it, yet can't help but think: "Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark!" only in the technological equivalent.

We are the extinction-level event, but many people don't grasp that. Society is what's at stake. Humans can migrate and adapt as they have in the past.

Ericsson headquarters are there, so it isn't like they're some backwater. As for GIPS I've used their voice engine tech before at a startup company. It's pricey, but they do a good job with support and the components are well documented.

It did, but towards the end. In "The Protestant Establishment," Mr. Baltzell pointed to the prejudice and insularity of the elite as the eventual causes of its decline. "A crisis has developed in modern America largely because of the White

The thing to remember about subsidies is that it's the consumer that pays them, not the carrier. Its just diluted into the monthly plan, Verizon would do the same. Switching carriers takes more effort than switching phones for many if not m

Yeah, I don't give them a by on this either. It's not on the level of a BSOD during a CEO demonstration, but it's not promising either.

It's been going on for over 10 years already with barcode IDs in high schools. Now you don't even see the person doing it because they can hide 2 or more cards in a wallet and scan them all at once. The only tip would be a suspiciously clos

I don't profess to understand the challenges of developing an oil well 5000 ft beneath sea level, but does anyone know why there isn't a valve installed that could be shut off by a submersible? What I do know is BP initially said it was rou

Wonder if sjobs@apple.com with attached pictures would've worked. An honest effort isn't "Oh, we called and employee # 1034434393 was clueless." It's on par with a lost wallet. They had all the information.

I find it pretty despicable they made no honest attempt to get the prototype back to Apple. Until they posted actual information they could've returned it to Apple and I'm sure Apple would've reimbursed them the $5K for the phone and possib

Especially since there's no anticipation of the ensuing antitrust battles that will probably creep into play from the EU if not the DOJ. This is very familiar waters that Microsoft found itself in not so long ago.

I'm skeptical in part because my first reaction would be to email Steve and ask him if they lost anything the size and shape of an iPhone lately. If he did and he can tell you what it looks like they can have it back. If they didn't I hock

This reminds me of an old joke: An airplane was flying from LA to New York. About an hour into the flight, the pilot announced, "We have lost an engine, but don't worry, there are three left. However, instead of 5 hours it will take 7 hours

There's another level that's ignored here. Some retailers go as far as sending you unique coupons that only you can use and which may or may not be tied to an expiration date/product EAN. It's just another level of targeted marketing that s

Another good example that can be more performant than a hash or a trie on a given alphabet is a directed acyclic word graph. Think of it as a trie that reuses edges, but has no cycles. This makes it very compact. There's an implementation o

I think most criticism has been constructive and well placed. It's a large iPod touch with potential at this point. After playing with it for a good 10 minutes it still feels wanting. Consumption means different things to different people.
