But "buy.com" is a brand, and extremely valuable both as a brand and as a domain.

I've never understood that notion of social stratification applied to modern socities. What kind of classes are we talking about? Isn't it just a plain linear function of your income?

Trolls? Like Apple Corp. that patented bounce back scrolling? The problem is not trolls, the problem is the deep mental retardation of the current US patent system. And it's not just a reform. All the issued patents must be revised and a lo

I've had similar ideas back when BlackBerry was popular with its Java-only SDK in order to port our huge C++ app, and also when Windows Phone was C#-only. Eventually it's worked itself out, as C++ has become available everywhere. Neverthele

A rational thinking community? What a wonder! I need to investigate that stuff and take part in some discussions. Thanks for that site, friend!

The programming industry walks around in circles and there is no beacon in this darkness of ignorance. There is no professional culture and new generations of developers successfully forget all the experience previous generations have accum

Damn, that's gross. We are ugly biorobots. I need to think about that.

That's amazing. Finally such a thing has been invented. That's the future. I'm looking forward for other incredible nanomaterials.

Yes. Next question. An extremely authoritative opinion from some Anonymous that appears more like speculations doesn't count.

Basically, be as mediocre and stereotypic as possible, conform to the crowd, please everyone, this is what you are talking about? Maybe, it's an inherent problem with the "karma" system. It encourages you to avoid saying what you really thi

== Programming sucks nowadays. There is not even a consensus on what is good in programming! Take a look at other professional cultures: people work extremely hard to develop the skills that everybody else in their profession have. What doe

A distinctive work is just a consequence of intellectual superiority. My problem is that I am very lazy. The actual work someone can make is F * S, where the F is your intellectual power, and the S is how much you have moved towards your ta

Everyone of web-programmers?

Writing a clunky iOS app at 14 is not that a big deal. I was writing more complex apps at 14 on assembly language with some hand-wired hardcore highly optimized math, back in the days when programming was much harder and low-level, but nobo

Yep, that's called age fascism.

Who says web-programmers are programmers?

Dude, the folks doing websites aren't greatest minds. They aren't even engineers. It's a bunch of ADHD kids rushing for cash. All this social web bullshit is not really even programming, and programming is not even engineering.

I did not say the guy sucked, I said his design sucked, and it does indeed. And Microsoft's recent approach to design sucks as well, the new Windows logo is a 90 degrees rotated trash can. That was my personal opinion, I just write what I s

Aren't corporations and designers in them just "design fascists"? "This is the ultimate design that is only good for everybody in the world, for a little girl and a brutal middle-aged man, you are not allowed to have your own taste". Maybe

Is life hard for you, a retarded guy? What's so beautiful about this... "community" is that a nonconforming opinion is downvoted, while a direct rude offense is OK.

I've thought of that for a while: if someone doesn't see what's wrong, it's just like they're blind. Obviously, it doesn't make sense talking to them.

I don't think I'm a genius, I just think there's a lot of talentless and stupid folks everywhere. And I adore smart talented people, they are such a relief for me, but unfortunately there are not so many of them. No, actually, I think I am

Yes, so what? When I was a Junior Developer and knew almost nothing, even back then I could determine that some code is bad because it was unstructured, with bad naming, poor algorithms, etc., because the code was bad objectively , given m

I am surprised that his concept totally sucks. Both the font work and the logo. They are so utterly bad, that even I, being just an amateur designer, clearly see how it is bad and where it is bad, and even I could probably make something mu

Not true. The amount of information a modern programmer must keep in mind, be expert at, have hands on experience, or at least be aware of, is ridiculous. Platforms, languages, frameworks, libraries, areas - software architecture, algorithm
