The problem isn't the process of installing. It's the damned trip line installs along the way. If you install Adobe Reader, it shouldn't install McAfee for you. If I install your software, you don't have the right to install browser plugins

Wow that's special. Sounds to me like they're tools. You can't really expect an employee to know they're way around the code base after only 3 days. Hell most places you find yourself sitting on your thumbs the first week due to everyone be

I think the primary limiting factor of tablets is UI bandwidth. A large chunk of what people do with computers is select and modify. It's really hard to beat the mouse at the select step. Then there's the whole real keyboard thing. With a p

One thing I have noticed that organic tends to do well is add a bit of variety. The selection of foods is slightly different which I like. Also some food comes out slightly better since it isn't as hardened for the mass market supply chain.

I think for UI elements the standard should be slightly different since a work of fiction can detail the entire thing. So in you example the transporter would be patentable since there no real info on how to make one. However the 3 finger s

I don' think the advice is to do a proof, but rather to design and think about it in such a way that you could given enough time.

In the example you used, "context" seems to be a more appropriate word than "type".

There's what you say and what you do. I wouldn't be surprised if they called it an act of war. However, a violent response is highly unlikely.

We got lucky. I got hired into a project that started out in research which had/has a very loose management. It's the only part of the org structure where shit flows uphill. That gave us quite a bit of leeway in terms of establishing a cros

The trick is to find way to knife through a couple of those layers of management to the managers who actually know what should be done. You really can't ask most users or managers because they're just not helpful.

Personally, I'm not feeling the quotes and would prefer parens since they're nestable.

Rural areas probably have different tell tale signs. Probably roof size and geometry.

I've seen Java .Net and Perl code fail with self signed or expired certificates, so I'm pretty certain they check.

Also it tends to shut up exactly the disadvantaged people we want to here from. Personally, I use my real name, but I'm a white heterosexual male. Change any of those and I might not feel so comfortable giving random strangers the means to

I think the primary problem with QR codes is the whole dance you have to do to read them. I have to notice the QR code. Pull out my phone. Wake it up. Load the QR app. Point it at the QR code. Really you want to have QR codes automatically

I understand how ads seem like a less risky road, but I really don't like using Twitter's website. Nor, am I that crazed about their app. I can't be the only one. It seems like a good way to lose users.

The password part is a bit silly. You don't even need to do that. Just leave it rough around the edges and give people a technical description of how to use the tool. I've done that accidentally a number of times. It's amazing how many time

Luck of the draw. Some, people's bodies are just better able to absorb punishment. My wrists will occasionally give me trouble but for the most part if I keep the keyboard low enough they're good. On the other hand, I can't do a significant

No, it's there. It's just so ingrained most people don't notice it. Insults like that are almost always targeted at the target directly or the women around them. That's because society places women on a weaker level. Also notice the emphas

Well in the link you pointed to, the author did it over a period of years. We'll assume he's drunk and it's only 1 year and a day. He seems to mention 6 default apps. That means he replaced 1 default app every ~2 months. That doesn't really

Yeah but clocks generally don't interface with other technology. Trailer hitches and screw drivers do. There is a whole slew of different hitch adapters. And, most of us have or at least have seen screw drivers with a set of attachable bits

This is because that what happens in engineering. Even simple things like shovels have evolved. The blade has been shaped to into the dirt. It's got a squiggly bend so it's balanced holding dirt. Stepping up a bit further we have things lik

For programmers, "MS" auto expands to Microsoft. I'm guessing you meant "Morgan Stanley" instead? Took me a minute or 2 to guess that.

However, they also have different concerns. It's only natural that the Linux kernel have stricter commit requirements than most of the projects on github. In the wide respect, you want things to be kinda fast, loose, and easy. However, I wo

Yea he should probably hire an assistant. Good secretaries can light saber through bullshit. That said, I can't afford a secretary and my inbox is completely out of control. It's won. I've lost. There is virtually nothing I can do about it

Yeah you can't really avoid spammers getting your address. That said, it's pretty much a solved problem.
