Found this over on Fark and thought the guys here would like it. This has to be one of the most amazing feets of engineering in our lifetimes. (Speaking of the rover landing of course ;)

What would you say about a building maintenance team that left 3% of the burnt out/bad light bulbs around? Most of the stuff he's talking about can be monitored and caught before they become a real problem or dealt with as soon as they are

> For all we know, it was a company with 5 non-IT employees, and a staff of 50 IT people who flipped a coin once a day to decide which of 1 of them was going to work that day. You're right on that, we don't have any idea about the tota

> That sounds bad. But we have no idea what the company does, so we don't actually know if this is a problem or not. That's true. The description of the company does lend itself to the belief that it was sufficiently large enough to ma

Bad management is like mud. It get's on everything and is almost impossible to get rid of.

I actually found that I didn't get as much done. I kept checking to see if the site had come back up and wondering if there was a status page hiding somewhere I didn't know about. Sheesh!

The moment a community loses its sense of humor is the point at which it is little more than someone's hype machine. There has to be something to break the mood every so often or the community will burn itself out! Especially in a high te

You're echoing my thoughts exactly. The first thing that came to mind with this headline was 'Well, about the only weather site I care about.'

Maybe it's a stretch . . . But it does sound like their system is presently causing changes to occur in external systems that were not authorized. Then again, having your address book linked to FB might be construed as authorization . . .

How does this not violate CFAA? This really sounds like a company that believes it is above the law.

A friend of mine just sent this my direction. Looks like I won't be looking at Cisco consumer grade hardware anytime soon.

Given a method signature, especially one with the parameter names, and a listing of the exceptions it could throw, I think the only thing I would do different would be comments and {} on the if's. I hate if's without braces, that's just as

I wonder if it is a "reflexive" view point on how to manage a worker. If you don't have the "employee" in front of you, how do you know that they are working? Of course, there are advantages to collaboration and access with a developer on

Makes sense, though it would be nice to have at least a place holder on the main site stating that pricing is yet to be determined. I very nearly ignored jelastic entirely as it looked like I had to signup to get pricing information.

Hmm, I can't seem to find pricing at all on the main site, at least not in a way that I can make sense of. There does seem to be something linked off a blog post buried in another blog post. That bugs me.
