When they turn 13 you'll miss the "baby days". You'll look on those days fondly, forgetting the stress, lack of sleep, etc. etc. And when your son turns 18 and joins the Army. You'll wonder "where'd it all go". It all goes by in a blink. En

What did the NYT expect? When you gut the public school system (Florida is just a mess) of funds what did everyone think was gonna happen? In Florida, the most important thing to teachers (and the school boards) is students passing the FCAT

I'm a night person. Always have been. As for the 2 programmers who work for me (the rest of the staff have to be there 9 to 5) they can work anywhere anytime. I care about results; meet your schedule- you can work from the beach if you want

My most productive time is after midnight. The streets are quite, the house is asleep. Besides me, only my dog is awake, and she's only half awake, doing her job watching me. Lucky for me, I'm one of the principals of the company. So I can

Ok you've shammed me. I'm gonna start learning and using VIM. Even if it kills me.

I do use ssh. I call it telnet since ssh is just telnet on roids.

My problem with patent-overload is that it's turned into a protection scheme. Big company approaches me and my little company and says, "We think we have some patent issues". And I say, "Really? Unlikely, we wrote everything from scratch."

Since I use Mac, I've been forced to upgrade sometimes. Like going from my Powerbook (G4 chip) to a Macbook Pro in 2007 (for the intel chip). Last week, I finally broke down and brought a Macbook Air. It wasn't for the i7 chip, or the SSD (

I can't use vim. God, I've tried, and tried. I'm too old. I just can't do it. So I stick with a big IDE (or Sublime 2 which I'm liking more and more). I had to telnet into a Centos box recently and the only thing I could find was vi. Took m

When I went to school, they taught using Pascal. Then you moved to C. Now I think it's just Java?

Actually I'm not so sure about that. There was much debate at the time (when Windows 3.11 was everywhere) whether it was a subset of UNIX. At the very least, it was inspired by UNIX. Where would we be? Probably all running VMS (which by the

I could not agree more. I remember reading about dmr and Bell labs back in the Byte days; when Microsoft and Apple were radical and the tech world revolved around IBM. I can't stress enough how fundamental this man, his work and Bell Labs w

Well it's about time. But I hope they provide some way to merge accounts. Since I have both an Apps account and gmail account.

I agree too. I found it arrogant and very condescending. But his alternative career section is humorous.

"bringing computing to the masses." The masses in the West. You don't see to many Mac's running around Africa, India, China, or Russia. I'm not trying to belittle Steve Jobs at all. He was a visionary who had a stunning ability to spot and

I (have a private Github account. Let me echo something, "... when you think that if you made one giant repo they'd do it for almost nothing". In other words, if my project was "open" Github would cost nothing. That's burtal. Frankly I don'

"the average user isn't trying to upgrade the moment new software is released" Oh don't bet your house on that statement. Everyone in my office (and most aren't "geeks") who had an iphone/mac was waiting for the update. By 2PM they were all

No GDP per capita is around $1300 cause there are over 1.2 billion people. There are just too many people living on the land. It's grossly unsustainable. Things are bad enough for the vast majority. If left to the "market" 3/4 of the popula

There aren't exactly doing much for their brand are they? It's not about what they do privately.. I mean, hire some PR lackey to post "public" recipes or list your favoriate bands - whatever. It's perceptions that matter.

Why is that? I use it. I admit it's not "full featured" but it does get the job done.

And now you know why I use a Mac. :) Unix is there, if I want it and thank the gods there are package managers.

Yeah. I have an old TRS 80 I fire up now and then. Just for nostalgia sake. I've tried to throw it out. Just can't do it.

My god this article is spot on: "If Democrats and Republicans fail to hash out a compromise on the deficit, draconian spending cuts will follow in 2013. For all the tirades against the Europeans, America’s economy risks being pushed into re
