It's more like you meticulously wrote down the contents of the lockers without taking anything at all and then sold the information about what types of clothes people at your gym wear to a marketing firm.

Yes, $750 is about one engineer-day. Someone is now going to be spending at least a full day per month managing your new hardware, running security patches, etc. Even if your sysadmin guy is cheaper than an "engineer" it's

Your comment really scared me when you talk about not liking strict or structured code. I maintain a lot of legacy code and one of the things that bother me the most about the C/C++ code I work on is the complete lack of organization.

The number of places in most code where you're running a tight loop a jillion times is vanishingly small. In those cases you're usually better off writing the vast majority of the code in a language that increases developer produ

It's particularly useful when an article or something you want to read gets slashdotted.

I just checked and the fees from my local airport are $10 each way. So.. less than 10% for most flights.

While I think individual several of the apps look better after the redesign I liked the consistency of UI between apps that the before shots gave. The after shots kind of remind me of running KDE apps in a Gnome desktop environment or some

I've had similar experience. I have a Galaxy Nexus and had a terrible time getting the NFC stuff to work. My friends and I stood around looking like idiots for a good 10-15 minutes trying to get basic stuff like sending contacts or

I had a gig once where the manager pulled us into a meeting and with a straight face told that in order to finish this project on time (really a week early) we were expected to work 12 hour days and be on call. If we got a call and had to

This is precisely why I went into programming in the first place. A computer doesn't have feelings. It doesn't lie to me, I don't have to lie to it. It will do exactly what I ask it to do without fail, though I regularly a

I was thinking more along the lines of early computer only really being used by people who had a stronger muscle memory for calculator usage than telephone usage.

I think the point is that fat can pass through the body without being absorbed easier than glucose. So calories from fat are less likely to become fat on your body than calories from simpler sugars. That's really the best I can come

My understanding, and I'm sure that someone else will correct me, is that with MD5 rainbow tables it's not so much that someone will get your password as they will get something that hashes to the same value. More than likely thi

As a coder the best compliment I've ever gotten was from a consultant. It was basically something like, "Hey, you're the [my initials] that wrote a big chunk of [system]? I can really tell the parts you wrote from the rest,

Yeah, but let's be honest. It's not real productive time. It's Facebook, Twitter, and Candy Crush.

I would argue that there's a hand full of countries where being based is more than "notionally" beneficial. The U.S. is definitely among them. I'm not suggesting that the tax should exist but let's not pretend tha

I had kind of the opposite happen at my last 9-5 job. They were considering using this type of test for potential candidates. The managers got together and came up with the metrics they felt would make the best team members. To get a bas

No, you shouldn't. Because the job of police officers is not to keep you safe. In fact it's quite illegal for police officers to keep you safe, because keeping you safe is something that must be done before a crime is committe

I can't imagine why anyone is surprised by this. The people in the know will never tell us the true depth of the problems with the economy right now, the floor of the gulf is absolutely destroyed from being covered in oil, etc. A con

I've never understood this mentality. If a company (in this case the NFL) doesn't want me to be their customer then I simply won't be. For example, I like watching the Sabres (hockey for the uninitiated), but only a couple

This sort of reminded me of the old adage about people who "aren't good at tests." "Oh, I see. You're not dumb, you're just not very good at the part where we find out what you know." Software developme

At one of my previous jobs this was the network admin for me. It's not that I felt that network administrator was a useless job. It's that there are 5 of them and only one of them doesn't have their head up their ass. If a
