Amazon shouldn't need to warn people of general good business practices. Anytime someone builds a business around a single entity in this case Amazon WS, they are prone for obsolescence when the entity includes "their" functionality into t

Formal source control is always a good idea, even if you are working on a project yourself. A three person shop will have some overlapping development of resources. So being able to undo changes and resolve conflicts will be necessary. As t

I would agree with also checking with the employer. Any time you want to utilize open source in a project you should see what the employers policies are on this. You will also need to be careful about contributions back to your open source

I would publicly open source the code, placing it in either Google Code or Github with a BSD or Apache 2.0 license. Doing this will protect both you and the university from using random (though your) unlicensed code in the project. Placing

Comedy isn't going to be funny for everyone. Doesn't matter if it is online or off. I tell my wife many of jokes that get an angry stare while I am laughing my ass off. You can remember that the most important rule of comedy is timing or in

Hacker news is becoming digg.com with all the Hacker News related content. This is one of the reason I stopped going to digg.com. It was becoming annoyingly self serving and distracting to the original purpose of the site.

I have three great ideas for startups that fit this request. 1.) scambledporn.com - If you can remember tv before it went digital, porn used to be scambled by varying the horizontal sync of the tv signal for that channel. This made it unwa

Your still doing CS - not biology and that was my point. The article seemed to be saying if you are not sure about what to do choose CS. I think that is the wrong choice. I love software and can't imagine doing anything else but if I had a

"if you know you want a technical major but you're not sure which, choose Computer Science." I completely disagree. I am not even convinced that a computer science degree is the best degree to have for a software job, but a computer science

Not even sure where my clothes are made. Probably not in America. There are several reasons for buying American: 1.) For the price point I buy at (low to middle < 30k) the American cars have the same quality as I can get in a foreign c

Even though it will be changed back, I will still say I don't like it. Hacking and IT don't need political correctness, they need freedom of expression. Ask yourself, "What would Katt Williams say about this change?" He would probably say

There is a fundamental problem with RIAs; the open web is a much better platform to build applications on. Every day browsers get better and the things you can do with HTML, JavaScript and CSS are for 90% of the applications a good solutio
