If sales were a sign of sexiness OS X would have outsold Windows.

Sales don't prove sexiness or ease of use. Consider sales of the Droid. In it's first 74 days it sold more units than the original iPhone did in it's first 74 days. http://mashable.com/2010/03/16/nexus-one-sales-poor/ But I'm not going t

Above, you said whether they could guess it, not whether they could understand it after explained. "you can't take a guess at what "(+ 2 3)" means" I can see your meaning if it was explained to someone and they still didn't grok it. But I w

I don't understand the following point you made: "so if it's opaque to you...,you probably shouldn't be programming" So your saying that someone should not program if they haven't learned basic lisp ( 5 )? Or are you suggesting that there s

Your arguing shades of Grey here. Are you honestly saying that majority of artists (musicians, painters, poets) in history have been independently wealthy?

I think it is perfectly reasonable to take criticism from an 18 year veteran more seriously than from a 2 week new jack. In both cases you are assuming to gain a new perspective from the experience of another human.. Is it not reasonable to

I can't help but read these articles. Really. One after another. Unfortunately, I never get anything out of it.

I find the notion of getting rich in order to write poetry kinda silly. It does not take a million dollars to write great poetry. It takes a pen, a piece of paper, and a poet.

I have watched a ridiculous amount of popping in my life. I've been to several of the premier popping events and I have also been to many underground jams. I also have watched a ton of video. And while I will say that there are a large num

The moonwalk actually existed years before MJ used it. Here is a clip of a guy doing it in 1955: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VbPd2iu4bg Later, street dancers in California incorporated the move into their style known as "popping." It

Sorry, but I don't %100 agree with this statement: "Definitely stay away from petty compliments about earrings" Women love small compliments... The key is to be genuine about it. Do not just pick a random article of clothing and compliment

It is about using the right tool for the right job. What you appear to be doing is using the right tool for your job, then concluding that everyone should use your tool for their job. Here is a great IDE hacker: John Carmack, ID Software, u

Do you love reading or do you love owning books? If you love reading, the kindle is great. If you to to own books, the kindle is horrible. If you love both, well you have a real tough decision to make.

Weeding people out based on whether they give a "correct" answer to this question seems kinda ridiculous. With the exception of someone admitting to a horrendous fault (anger problem), I don't see how this answer could dictate a hire or no

Let me get this right. This is an article by a guy who was told by a guy who was told by a headhunter who was told by an employer that WOW players are bad employees? I wouldn't draw any conclusions from this.

Read the article. The first study says the the income gap closes within 10 years. 10 years is not a "lifetime".

Honestly, I don't see why the compensation a private company gives it's CEO is an issue of morality.

Bullocks. Acting like Fishman was appointed CEO just because he was a friend of the board is completely false. He was preivously the CEO of two other banks: Sovereign Bank and Independence Community Bank. He has 25+ years experience as a s
