i never said whether it was right or wrong though. Yes it is unenforceable, what i was saying is that Steve Jobs was a human and not a god. FYI quite a few tech companies were in this pact not to hire from each other.

Yes it has seemed to change quite rapidly in the last 12 months. I think Hacker News used to be mainly Start-Up, tech and business starters. Whereas now it is mainly start-up porn.

If you disagree with what I said please leave a comment. When comments that are idiologically "wrong" get downvoted without discussion then it leads to a hivemind mentality.

I think before people jump on the bandwagon they should think about Jobs state of mind when he wrote this. iPhone just launched and still vulnerable. Senior staff going to a competitor and also Personally poaching staff and being involved i

He was CEO at the time so the company would be liable.

Dont forget that each machine you use is slightly different, so there are protocols that exist for those labs and those particular pieces of gear set up that way.

its weird I posted a microsoft page that got 30 likes in a hour or so, that was just as much a "sales" type page as this and it never made the front page. It would be interesting to see how they do it considering this has 3 points at the mo

my friend has one and it is imbedded 24 hours and monitors giving top ups throughout the day. I was commenting that the problem the author mentioned is solved (ie measuring and injecting many times throughout the day). Yeah that sounds horr

My friend has a insulin pump similar to this http://www.medtronic-diabetes.co.uk/product-information/para... This seems to be a solved problem, if only someone could make a way for people to search out such things via the internet ;)

can you buy a copy from amazon and get it shipped?

Couldn't this be chalked up to usability for 99% of users that use Windows?

If Raspberry Pi was increasing its price on a certain day then I don't think people would complain. At least it's honest. Half the blog posts are just SEO for people in tech's businesses.

Do you mean your Win 7 was on a volume license?

by djt 14y ago
yeah that sucks. It may be a deal with the OEMs thats creates this weird situation.

nope, i am going to buy a copy before the price goes up and i thought others here might too. I assume MS would keep the price low for Win 8, but apparently not.

Windows 8 Pro price going from $40 to $200 on Feb 1(windows.microsoft.com)

Jacquesm, I've seen a lot of your posts in the last week and can see you're pretty cut up about this whole thing. I think it might be a good time to follow Lessig's lead and give yourself a little time off to reconnect to your own family an

I believe that because his MAC address was blocked and he spoofed it to circumvent the ban, they believe that shows intent.

He sent his encryption key to china. It's a security nightmare. By the sounds of it may have been a defense contractor. Had it have been a app developer no doubt he'd have got a promotion

Sounds like you're in a rut and burnt out. If you get to the stage that you're experiencing extreme apathy or dark thoughts then definitely call a help line and get some free counseling. Assuming that you're not depressed but just in a rut

Also be careful of what people #tell# you they want and what they actually want (ie pull a credit card out). Try and figure out how to align the needs of the advertisers and your customers and it will make things easier.

I had a look on the first page and had no idea what I get as a customer other than an email a day about a place. I looked further and it looks like youre monetising by hooking people up with travel guides? Be really clear about what your va

I'm saying that eventually Android and other platforms will grow to match or exceed the spends of iOS customers. If it were me doing it now, I would develop for iOS because thats where the money is at the moment. Having said that, you need

Two is a pretty low sample for it to be statistically significant. Anecdotaly, a friend of mine committed suicide and I later found out he was going to jail for robbery.

Is it quite rare though? It would be good to see some figures on that. It could also be sampling bias playing a part. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_bias

iOS is fundamentally a business, it's within their rights to do as they please. It makes sense to make the most profit and that probably means moving from small iDev businesses to large ones (ie SEGA etc) that are happy to spend a lot of mo
