That is why I called it an anecdote to begin with. It is a serious defect in cognition that you did not realize that this is why I spelled it out as such. I knew him during high school. From what I know about him I think he just gave in to

I have not changed my original stance. I've just provided more arguments to this mild debate. I know, we've all downloaded illegal music and yes many of us believe this is no big deal even though objectively speaking it is wrong. Somebody w

You start with an illegal substance. You are already breaking the law so what is the big deal with using an even stronger substance. That seems to be the rationale used by a lot of people. I guess I should have made that clear in my origina

I don't think religious people consider atheists smug. If nothing else they think they are going to hell. The thing is that many people come out and say "I'm a vegetarian" as if it were the second coming of Jesus. Honestly who gives a crap

So basically you are saying that people that will do cocaine will simply do cocaine regardless? Those people are pre-destine do do it so who cares?

I think this because there are plenty of vegetarians and non-smokers, and non-drinkers around that people overall don't really find it weird. I myself do eat meat and drink alcohol but it is so little overall in a year that you could almost

They probably think you are weird because consciously or sub-consciously you are acting smug.

Being addicted to cigarrettes is one thing. They are bad but not as bad as drugs like Marijuana (Maybe, don't know, I don't smoke). It seems that for a lot of people that do Marijuana it eventually becomes too mild for them. Also, once they

No, I do not get your point. I was not even born in the 1970s.

"Does not really diminish my IQ" You remind me of a TV program where they did a study how drinking affect driving. The test subjects would swear that they drive even better when drunk. They got them drunk, put them behind the wheel, and it

You probably just have programmers block. Give in to your distractions for an entire day or two. You'll get so sick of them that you may want to go back to programming. Going to a cafe to work is also a really good idea. Have done a lot of

A whole younger generation in America seems to be more into Marijuana, and they don't see it as wrong. And these are usually middle class kids. That is probably why a lot of people here seem to be really casual about it. And now let the dow

Isn't the line: while(time(NULL) > markTime) { /* do nothing */ } some sort of sleep mechanism? What's the point again?

So, the big mention in here is something about "two girls one cup" and how offensive it supposedly is. I keep asking myself, how gross can it be? I decided I didn't care for it but then curiosity got me. I went to wikipedia to read the desc

I'm a native. Never heard of this. We must be on different economic classes. I come from a working class and so does everybody I grew up with.

It will make Airbnb business more difficult in NYC. Sure, it hasn't stopped the drug Mafias but it sure makes their job harder and brings the price of drugs up (they love this though). This will probably bring the price of short term rental

I also see this as a problem though. Most likely the person doing this is not the owner of the apartment. I wonder how the original landlords feel about this. Maybe they just don't care, who knows. Seems wrong to be using their apartment fo

The first time I read about something like this I was outraged. "How dare they, the government is blocking people's ability to do business". Then, after some careful thought I started to agree with this ban. Basically I put myself in the sh

I agree with you. I've worked developing enterprise software at a big corporation and 40 hours is just the amount expected. 50-60 hours on crunch time is already a lot. Have to say I've been very happy. Although things can go to shit if you

Something like this is an excellent candidate for Android OS. If they just design it with Android in mind they will have quality software and save a huge amount of money since Android is free.

Probably because the GCC architecture itself no longer allowed for more optimization. Or to put it another way, it had been optimized as much as economically possible. Trying to optimize it further would get us to the realm of diminishing r

I didn't really like the article much either. I cannot pin-point exactly why but something about it bothers me. However, the main point of the article is that if you get exposed to different environments, people, that are out of your circle

True, but how much money can you get out of a small fry 30 million dollar company as opposed to a 30 billion dollar company? It may be that paying 100 million or 500 million dollars for a settlement may not be that much for a 30 billion dol

They don't discuss how the malware got into the ROM in the first place. To me that is even more interesting. Could it be that the malware in the ROM was put there by somebody working for Dell or somebody that had access to the ROM chip manu

I used to hate patent trolls. But now I realize that they are actually doing a public good. Basically they are sticking it to the big companies that created this patent mess to begin with. Love it! Karma is a bitch...

Right about what? All I did was to ask a question. Take it easy. I'm asking this question as an iPhone developer.
