That may have been fun for him to write, it wasn't fun to read. Given his attitude, I wonder if the same could be said of his code.

Whiny, rude, disrespectful, also not smart enough to proffer alternative ID. Her problem isn't disability, its stupidity.

Well, for one, because the legion of fandroids would be here raving about the "evil Apple empire" if this story were about Apple, as it is about Android these same fandroids are saying that Apple are just as bad, if not worse.

On a similar note, many years ago I worked for the research labs of a European telco. The head of the lab decreed that we should strive to go paperless and bragged that he had achieved this himself in his own office. Indeed he had, his secr

At what point did it ever say it was about "his discoveries in depth"? The programme was what it was, the fact that it wasn't the programme you wanted to watch meant you should have read the description or switched off earlier.

A fine example of the banality of being contradictory for the sake of it. Turing was coerced into 'treatment' (the alternative being prison, a grim prospect for a man like Turing), consequently 'barbaric' is spot on as a description; doubly

I think you are backing him up. Marco didn't say it wouldn't sell, he said it wasn't especially good. The consensus of the reviews I've read is that the Kindle Fire is probably OK if you have low enough standards.

I'm sure it doesn't apply to you but that sounds like it was written by someone who never really had sex all that often. "The Joy of Sex" became so popular (in an era in which sex was widely seen as a leisure pursuit and before the scares o

Perhaps nobody wants to admit it because few are that stupidly paranoid. For one, schools predate assembly lines. For another, if that is what schools were designed to do then they are remarkably poor at it. The ruling cabal who you seem to

The "hacker" part of the title is ironic. Any hacker news here is purely accidental.

Intentionally provocative headline. He says it is a reasonable alternative if he had to switch but not good enough as it stands.

Specious bit of hand-waving featuring made-up numbers. My rule-of-thumb is to disregard people who plead virality, especially if they call themselves marketeers. High sales get you into the top 10 lists which is really worth having (you c

This is a silly game, you mispelt "intelligible". The missing comma is well spotted and down to my lack of proofreading, the comma splice is more stylistic than anything in my view. However, by concentrating on how I wrote, rather than what

Well the origin of the term came because when Indians gave a gift they expected something equivalent in return or their gift back, i.e. it was bartering rather than gifting (OK, the source is Wikipedia so this is probably specious). So Pinc

If you believe this you are destined for a lifetime of being misunderstood and probably laughed at. "Loose-yet-intelligible grammar, spelling and punctuation" doesn't mean friendly to me, it means ill-educated at best, retarded at worst.

Testimonial here, bought teas from Chris earlier this year, the products and the service are both very good indeed. If your experience of Chinese tea is getting a pot of Jasmine in a restaurant, try these, it will be a revelation.

The guy is telling it how it is, you are behaving like an 11 year-old. The world is not a nice place, it gets less nice when money is involved, grow up.
