While they didn't cause the earthquake or the explosion, they knew, or should have known, that an earthquake or a violent assault might occur in the building they had designed and/or were assigned to protect. That is irrelevant to the fac

It doesn't matter who or what took down the servers Sure it does. Just like it matters and should affect our responses whether a building was destroyed by earthquake or some dude who sets off a bomb under the building to prove that it cou

Ok, I'm against DRM too, but no, if this is a DDoS, the hackers are not doing anyone favours, because what's harming the consumers in this case isn't the DRM, it's the DDoS.

... it is easier for a manager to change jobs than it is for a developer. Has anyone found this to be true? My personal experience contradicts this so far.

I agree, but I'd rather not turn my back on any antagonist with a knife. As another commenter has said, a 95% chance of getting stabbed are rather crappy odds.

I don't know, being hit hard by a rock would probably throw me off balance.

Are you sure you're not confusing Aikido with the manga Aiki?

On the other other hand, knives can be thrown, usually faster than you can run.

There is only one way to handle it if you want to graduate. Grit your teeth and do it. Take it from a guy who's like you and spent 6.5 years in university because he refused to study. I graduated in the end by becoming a sort of hermit befo

And the comment above yours has 6 points. Coincidence? You decide.

That link crashes my Firefox for some reason. Anyone else having the same problem?

Why would we stop purchasing their products if we weren't outraged or in any way angry? And I think there is human harm done, albeit possibly second degree or third degree, if progress and innovation are retarded as a result of their action

Well, he did specify a 5% chance of success...

Seriously, guys. Just flag it.

Ah, I thought it was like the Pigeon Protocol, or IPoAC.

Well, for starters, they could allow developers to either get paid through channels other than Google Checkout or push Google Checkout merchant accounts to more countries. I was pretty enthusiastic about writing apps for Android until I rea

Why would the bug reporting mechanism be in a subsystem? Unless every subsystem had its own bug reporting mechanism, which makes zero sense. [Edit] Oh ok, I think I see what you mean. Well, firstly, if a subsystem weren't integral to the ap

While I find Joel's articles interesting and often enlightening, I don't think "someone" needs to treat them as the Word From On High of software development or program management. Anyway, that's still not impossible to solve. After the des

Can't you let us mere mortals catch our glimpse of the magical forces the demigods of physics deal with in peace!

You could play games like Jade Dynasty, which has botting integrated into the game. So you could do work while the game runs in the background.

Well, that's not that difficult. Have negative tokens for bugs filed, similar to loss of experience for dying in an RPG.

Well, a more accurate title given the tone of the post would be, as another commenter on this thread has written: "The iPhone is the best thing in the universe, and anything on the Nexus One that seems to be better actually isn't and anyone

You miss the OP's point that none of these hours were spent at advertising, the core of Google's business success.

While I tried to be fair, it should come as no surprise that I believe in Apple's approach to both hardware and software Wait, wait, wait. Isn't this sort of like a creationist reviewing evolution as a theory? What's the point of "reviewi

For a while I've had a vague sci-fi-like idea that the first true "group minds" are going to evolve from the intersection of Mechanical Turk, augmented reality, personal virtual assistants, and Twitter/Aardvark/Facebook/Ask MetaFilter. Ho

Except that a whole lot of other ubiquitous technologies are built upon that implementation triviality, which makes it no longer trivial.

I must say I don't see anything going for this approach except novelty, and even then, I am unlikely to tell other people about the site.

Yes, it is interesting. I'm usually Still Water or My Bad, depending on how much I like the person handing out the surprise or whether I think he did it on purpose.
