I never said Mexico was a nexus of the drug trade. I said it currently has violent cartels running the show. You cannot point to West Virginia, who has no such history, as an indicator of what would happen in Mexico if drugs were legalized.

That's a bit of an oversimplification. If the drugs they move are suddenly legalized, do you really think they're going to shrug their shoulders and drop everything? It might slow their imports here , but we aren't the only country who use

Apparently they offer 24/7 phone and email support for Google Apps for Business customers, but I've never had any experience with it. Could someone else comment as to whether or not their Apps customer support is just as bad?

Those seem like stretches. I really can't see the slides fitting with feigned outrage considering the very first joke is "You said 'member'." and, a bit later, "autorelease — Enjoy while you can." Feigning embarrassment is possible but

This is exactly why these types of posts are so common and actually proves her point. A developer expresses her disappointment that a prominent Mac/iOS conference includes a surprising amount of crude and sexual humor? Most of the responses

Are you really equating signing up for a developer conference to signing up for a class on sexual behavior? If I take a class on human sexual behavior, I don't expect 80% of it to be dick jokes.

Would you guys be willing to do something like a Bronze plan, where maybe you get access to the videos but no offline viewing? I'd love to pay something like $10-$15/mo for the most basic access. Also, I'd like to toss in my obligatory "Awe

I completely agree. My initial foray into programming was writing sites in PHP, and I learned a lot about logic, functions, classes, and structuring projects because of it— and my transition into other languages. Had I said I wanted to lear

I agree! It's interesting to see that our country suffered from the issue of competing with cheap labor at the beginning of its life.

I recall some functionality in a PHP framework I was using that allowed you to make API calls on the server side through use of a class or function. It was something like $user = $api->GET('/accounts/the_user'); which would pro

I happen to agree that it's more intuitive to use list() instead of slice notation, but back when I had no idea about slice notation and first saw it, it caused me to wonder what else could be done with it. After some reading, I learned a l

I think that's because those majors appeal to more people. It makes sense that the most sought-after jobs are the ones that appeal to the least amount of people. My completely uneducated opinion is that middle and high school should do what

I think Josh's point is that Jobs' success came from the inspiration he got from his calligraphy class— not an engineering degree. He was never really an engineer. And I agree with him: many tech-oriented sites tend to think the only jobs t

I disagree. I don't have any data to base this on, but I think it would be easier for a new programmer to learn logic first and then worry about what goes on under the hood. There are plenty of reasons to learn C aside from just to know wha

I think the author misses various ways that OS X has been developer friendly. Last I checked, Xcode is free, and OS X ships with Python, PHP, Ruby, and Apache. Plus, as div said, developers live mostly in the terminal, so there isn't much t

Fair enough. I just don't think you really _own_ software in the sense that you can release it under a different license or call it your own work. Kind of like how you own the CD you buy from your local record store, but that doesn't mean y

I was under the impression that the GPL forced you to release any modifications under GPL as well. If this is true, doesn't this mean you _don't_ own it?

I'm unfamiliar with the specifics of software licenses. Does this mean that WordPress cannot dictate what license third party themes are under? I remember reading elsewhere that themes must be GPL but plugins do not. Don't they both use the
