As a self taught programmer were I to read all of the books "every programmer should read" I would never have time to actually program.

That would be helpful for many Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels as well. Especially the ones where people get bent out of shape if pronounce something wrong. Full disclosure: I read Tolkien for years before I discovered that elvish names with C su

This. Try opening right to Mathew on an e-reader. Then try to realize you need to take a look at another scripture so you keep your finger between the pages you are on flip back a bit read what you need then then easily return to where you

I understand what you are trying to say however, you are incorrect. The specific case cited being that the original article made the statement "The prosecution, led by Julius Grinnell, did not offer evidence connecting any of the defendants

There is no expertise involved. The page made a statement that was factually false. This was a fact that is easy to check as the wrong "fact" of no evidence is obviously ( yes, obviously has a prosecutor ever gone to court with zero evidenc

To be fair you are a bit off. They tend to reject the concept of macro evolution of humans from primates/fish/randomly combining proteins.

I applied for a job that had one of those idiotic 'personality tests'. They could have boiled it down to one question: Introvert or not. I was told they thought I scored too low to consider. For some reason I had decided to answer honestly

Really it is closer to moral relativism. The employees of Foxconn are better off than many many of their countries citizens. These employees have food shelter and (it would seem) a better than average wage for where they live. Certainly the

Did you read the article. The workers are not extremely low income workers. They are better off than average for where they live. That is a perfectly valid point in the same way that I would not accept the pay I get in Florida for the same

Congress will simply throw SOPA in as an amendment to some completely unrelated bill that people will have a hard time saying no to such as such as funding for puppies. Then if somebody opposes they can say "what about the puppies!" Certain

I worked as part of a three person tech team. The three of us supported offices in several different counties doing everything from running cables to some programming. The chances to change things up every now and then and be part of such a

Trevor Strong of the Arrogant Worms thanked me for downloading their music. Of course downloading the music made me a big enough fan of theirs to drive 300 miles to see them in concert as well as buying several CDs there. I also introduced

The article has links to much fuller reviews of the distributions mentioned. This one is just an overview.

Not mentioned in this article but FIFA is just as bad. Fans have been asking for goal line technology for some time.

Not always pirated on the Windows hacks. I used my valid XP key and ran LastXP. This was initially because the installer included SATA drivers and the XP cd I had from MS did not. The way it was set up I liked it better anyway.

Please note my comment was not meant to be blasé but rather my, admittedly, cynical view of the Christmas season. Telling the clinically depressed (including self) that everything is wonderful and indicating they should feel the same is a b

You failed to notice your comment was as dumb as someone saying, "He's gay, he deserves to die of AIDS." Mental illness is very real and can be just as devastating (if not more) than cancer or heart disease. Where a cancer victim's loved on

When one names a web site so and sucks .com then they are obviously coming from a standpoint intent on malice. Adding to that that the blogger in this case has also been regularly accusing someone of a crime they have never even been indic

Some people pirate simply because they can. Most people will never use 75% of what Photoshop can do yet they will pirate it when Gimp could serve their needs just as well. They simply collect software because it is there. Others, I feel, pi

I largely agree with you, but, I feel that the in class presentations, when recorded well, are more engaging. Personal opinion being what it is for me I find it far easier to listen to Professor Sahami's recorded lessons (CS 106A) for an ho

This conversation seems to be entirely missing the point of the original article. The programmer to be in question is working at a .Net shop and needs to be able to get up to speed in a timely manner. It addresses a particular person in a s

He's only using the 500k in his examples. Given the size of SVM, LP who bought giftzip.com I am certain he made much more than 500k.
