As someone who is not remotely as comfortable in a presentation setting in front of a crowd of people as I am one-on-one, one of my biggest issues is a lack of attention. It's pretty easy to see who isn't giving their full attention, and I

I can't remember the last time I actually went to the control panel to open something up. I'm too content using the start menu search to bring up control panel menus.

The author seems very excited to rub this in anyone's face he can. The data seems much more murky than he makes it out to be.

I don't get it. What's the joke? I never really cared enough about zdnet to know anything about it.

I don't. If I was, I'd still be at work. I have more interests in life than working.

Given the incredible popularity of the GS2 among the Android community, I'd say it's not unreasonable to think the GS3 will sell well.

He also never said he was using a script to do his work for him. He "accepted" the raise by not letting them know how he did it.

Meetings.io sounded like a decent idea, but since I didn't have a webcam I was denied entry to my own room. Bummer. I get that the point is to have face-to-face video chat without signing up for a service, but can't people who don't have

I like cutting the input down to only "confused". You can just assume the remaining people logged into that "room" are not confused - either they understand it or are comfortably making sense of it. Wish I had that for my calc lectures...

If women are given equal treatment, education, opportunities, etc. as they grow up from day 1, would that balance the ratio of female engineers with males? Honestly, I don't think so. With all the freedom and opportunity in the world, the

Reading code always worried me. That was always my biggest deficit in school - I couldn't just pick up someone else's code and dive in, it took a lot of effort to understand anything more than the most basic code. Of course, now I'm not in

Yeah, I don't like that culture. It's too easy to get burnt out on. I refuse to work in an industry that demands that level of constant dedication and availability for work as non-critical to life as programming.

Absolutely false. Specifically it's about a homosexual relationship in Mass Effect 3, which is an obvious lie considering the first two games also had homosexual relationships. They're just trying to counteract being named the worst compan

I skipped over that even when I was looking for it on a first pass, assuming it was part of the tagging system. Linking to a primary source takes people away from your site. That's why news sites don't like to do it. I'd suggest that the

That also made some pretty big waves for the method of sale rather than it being Louie CK. I bet he got a lot of extra traction from that alone.

God yes. Putting ads next to something small and clickable is really irritating. My biggest problem is when there is no paid version of the app without ads. Even after blocking them, I'm still left with a bar of precious, unused screen s
