I absolutely hate puzzles and I absolutely love programming. When I look at a puzzle like the (non-programming) one posted on the page, I have no idea where to start. When I'm given a programming challenge, I have a huge bag of experience a

The marketers working at the company should be taken out back and flogged. Show me the device and tell me how it works! From what I can tell, it's like taking a big stack of paper, gluing all the pages together and then carving it into the

Can we stop this argument already? Real hackers can appreciate every damn language out there. If it weren't for Basic in the early 80s, I wouldn't be programming now. PHP is a wonderful gateway language for a generation of web programmers.

Here's my suggestions: 1. Everyone votes online. (Computers could be set up in voting centers for folks without computer.) Codes are sent via snail mail. That one-time code allows a person to log in and vote. (An issue would be protecting t

Bah, humbug. I read through the changes and thought they were a breath of fresh air for the dinosaur OS. Doesn't all good art borrow from a previous generation and add it's own spin? We've learned that it isn't sweeping changes that make a
