Good thing. We (in most of Europe and parts of the US) tamed much of the Christian violence, now comes the next one. If their "protest" means killing artists, bombing embassies and planes and discotheques, we have to fight back the way fana

Piracy just tells us that there's a market inefficiency. In other words: Movies, music, software, books a.s.o are too expensive for some market actors. The same with black markets and shadow economies. It just means there's something wrong

Stupid people usually are a burden. But for startups they're an asset. We make complicated things so simple and dangerous things so easy that those morons out there can use them without hurting others and themselves (too much). The process

And these qualities make sense in consulting and many other domains, too. So would you let a consultant run your servers then? (I know this is a bit over the edge, but...)

by jk4930 17y ago
Mostly true. Tautologically because programmers specialize in programming and server guys specialize in running servers. Different problem domains with different ways of thinking, tools, problems. And we are talking about real programmers a

Initially I wanted to post a silly comment to the original question, but after I read your answer, I can't. You have my full respect, man. Your ghetto story is way more awesome than mine. :)

You sound as this is unimpressive. His motive was the right timing for a product. Knowing about the computing power, UIs, a.s.o. at the time of market launch is essential. There are enough developers (and especially academic organizations)

Ah, Chrome becomes the new Opera for people who love to whine around that they are an ignored minority even with using Windows while they are unable to install Linux to become a real minority. Drama queen reloaded. :)

I can provide another anecdotal evidence. I lost around 20 pounds with calorie (and fat) counting and stood there for the recent 4 years. Last 2 months I switched to counting carbs, too. At all I lost more than I gained during my CS studie

If the problem requires science, I think in English because most of my relevant university education and R&D was/is in English and thus most of the terminology I know. If it's business-related, I think most the time in German. I draw ca

It's probably defensive because most folks in the sociology / humanities departments _hate_ evolutionary psychology, sociobiology etc. and call it fascist, racist, elitist. Trust me on this, I know their reactions on such topics.
