Oh, I see. That speaks well of raganwald's wit and sarcasm.

That doesn't speak too well of his design ability.

Assuming the story is true, I especially like the part where he insisted that his former coworkers keep their employment with the company, even though he automated their existing jobs out of existence. Nice solidarity!

I noticed this undesirable change on my profile, and promptly corrected it. This is yet another of not-quite-shady but not-quite-agreeable adjustments we've come to expect from Facebook. It will make it more difficult for me to look up a f

The analogy drawn between evolution and artificial intelligence is interesting, yet ultimately deficient in at least one key aspect. Yes, the steps performed by a computer are unintelligent, just like mutation and natural selection within

Maybe a more accurate term for what the blogger values--instead of "freedom of speech"--would be "artistic freedom" or "editorial independence". The blogger values the ability to write whatever he wants without bowing down to an advertiser

What I'd really like is Windows 7.1, not Windows 8. However, I doubt that Microsoft will ever come around and embrace incremental upgrades (or switch to a subscription model, or subscription-level pricing that would fund such a form of dev

Got a "bandwidth exceeded" error message. Too bad.

Why does Google need to operate locally in each country in the first place? Isn't that just a needless expenditure? More employees, more domain names, more dealings with localized bureaucracies and pesky removal requests? Rather than put it

Ham's Big List ( http://drmichaelham.com/?p=25 ) is very appealing. I hope he stays true to it if elected. May he not make moral compromises as he raises money for his campaign.

Not bundling a recovery disc with a laptop is a major disservice to customers. Especially when the program to produce the recovery discs requires two blank DVDs, runs into errors on the second disc, and makes you start the whole process fr

Like many such polls, this one needs an "Other" or "None of the above" option.

I'm from Costa Rica, in Central America, not an option in this poll. I'd recommend adding Central America, or including it along with South America.

FYI, I've submitted these ideas to Google. I'm hoping that one way or another they'll oppose SOPA in significant ways.

Here's one form of protest I'd like to see: Assuming Google wants to take a significant stance against this bill, they're in a unique position to raise people's awareness of its awfulness. They could put some text on the Google homepage an

Ditto. I think it's problematic for a programmer to rely on a language to resolve ambiguities for you. If you see or suspect undesired ambiguities in your code, resolve them yourself. Best of all, make every effort to avoid introducing t

Like the article's author, I'm very wary of "parental computing". This is one reason why I'm a greater fan of desktop OSs and apps over cloud apps (when a reasonably-good desktop alternative is available). If I don't like the latest "upgra

I think the list is more of a likely upper-bound to fully outfit a developer's environment. The message seems to be "bosses: it's not that expensive to fully outfit your developers (don't be cheapskates)" instead of "potential FogCreek em

Personally, I'd add a walking treadmill to this list. It could double the total cost, though (depending on the model, of course).

And yet the author chides the Huffington Post itself. It's harder to cry out "hypocrisy!" in this case. (I don't know to what degree Paul Carr would represent TechCrunch in general. At the very least Mr. Carr is not a corporate cog--or so

Great idea! However, AirBnB should not only post the photo, but also be in charge of verifying over Skype that it matches the person posting it. If it'd be too expensive to verify every single new user, they could just verify them once th

The next Rovio game I'd like to see: "Angry Nerds", where you hurl enraged developers at patent trolls and the structures under which they take cover (causing very satisfying damage, of course).
