   May be I was so used to subversion. I understand that git is more flexible and powerful, but it makes me feel dumb. Specially because so many smart people love it.

   It is not about firepower. The Mexican army and marines have more than enough resources to kill the Cartel leaders. Almost, every time they have met the Mexican military wins. The problem is finding the leaders. It took 10 years for the U.S

   I don't think Anonymous has any leverage against the Zetas. I don't even think the Zetas know or care about Anonymous.

   Drug trade is a gateway to other crimes. Once they have the money, weapons and the organization it is easy to expand.

   They should probably allow one day for people to request the tickets and then assign them at random.

    I thought this comment was cute. This person is in a conversation with two of the biggest authorities in O.S design and he asks for a reference. *Can you recommend any (unbiased) literature that points out the strengths and weaknesses o

    My guess is that distribution is virtually free, productions is inexpensive, marketing can be very expensive.

    Yes, we know. But it is a good way tell the general population that the Turing Award is the most prestigious award in computer science.

    I may be wrong but I interpreted a "professional company" as a "professional services company" Companies where the main value offered is the services of the partners of the firm. As far as I knew, these companies were not public because the

    This is crazy. IMHO, The main draw back is that you can only go thru one lane. Either family, skills or money. Canada has a system that allows you accumulate points in several categories. It is in the best interest of the US to have a syste

    I've been promoting of Agile practices for many years. But, lately I have seen several cases of non-technical people hijacking Agile. Suddenly they become "Agile experts", they don't care/understand about continuous integration, regression

    My guess is that we will have a very efficient Taxi system. Using a Smart Phone you will be able to request a Taxi where ever you are; it will already know your favorite locations; your favorite music; it will automatically charge you; we w

    Glad you mention this, it reminded me a time I went to the movie theater with a friend. I was in college around 22 and he was about 32 and was one of the smartest people I had known. He talked to the lady selling the tickets, I don't rememb

    I agree that the TV example is rather silly. But it is one the first things that pops in my mind when I think about living without a car. We are so used to it, that we don't know how to function without it.

    Why do we force developers to become managers? IT organizations should hire accountants and/or other professionals to keep track of stuff. (budgets, costs, projects, assets, etc. ) These professionals should have the information organized i

    Ensenada is a small town. I don't think, it is specially violent. You can compare homicide rates by country here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentiona...
