At first, my intent was to be snarky, but it's really the truth. I can't remember the last time I saw someone using a Blackberry. My last friend with one got rid of hers months ago. She was the only person I knew with one for quite a while.

Who knows 10 people who have a Blackberry? If I was in school, out of work or otherwise had a lot of free time on my hands I might take a stab at it. It would be low risk. There probably isn't much competition out there so it would be easy

Have you used the Silk browser? It performs like a pig. Turning off "Silk" is the only way to use it. Even then, it is substandard, in my opinion. If I have my Kindle Fire in my hands and need to look something up online I will usually put

I bought a generator from them and got the free 2 day shipping. That thing was like 200lbs. A guy delivered it in an 18-wheeler and had to drive that thing through a little traffic circle in my neighborhood. I felt a little bad about that o

I disagree. You buy a car that only needs maintenance once a year, but you have to plug it in at least once every few weeks. They are willing to go well above and beyond what most would expect in order to remind you of that. I think that's

Completely inaccurate? Are you speaking from experience or pretty much making this up based on what you think happens? I read through the paperwork for the scholarship that was provided to my brother by the university so I understand how it

How do you think a member of Congress, accustomed to getting what he wants, is going to feel about getting blown off? It's easier to respond and do a better job of regulating yourself than it is to have Congress regulate for you. These peop

I don't think it's as dismal as you make it look. My brother just accepted a football scholarship at a highly academically rated BCS school. I think there are 66 BCS schools and each one gives out about 20-24 scholarships each year. It's a

I'd be more than happy if they kept an ineffective lobbyist on the payroll. Why would we want them to fire a guy who's lousy and get someone better?

I don't have a problem with the government settling. Are they supposed to spend money fighting a lawsuit for years just to squeeze some more money out of them? Then what? Some employees that had nothing to do with it get laid off to keep up

Maybe it was a bit of exaggeration, but I think maybe you don't realize how much things have changed. In the late 90's it was difficult to avoid using a Microsoft OS. First, the commercial operating systems available were mostly niche produ

I don't know enough about MongoDB to answer your question, and it sounds like you didn't know enough about it to even consider putting it into production for this project. That's where you got screwed. Trying out new technology when you hav

I don't think the author is exactly unnecessarily bashing MongoDB, but MongoDB is not the problem here. It is only part of the story because that's what the author chose to use. I would think that under these circumstances and time constrai

How did you get into recruiting? I assume having a tech background helps, but what other skills have been useful for recruiting?

Paying for Kindle books is still more convenient. I can buy a book at a fair price and start reading in seconds. Dealing with torrents to steal a book is a pain in the ass. It's for cheapskates that go out of their way to avoid paying for a

You did a great job on the game. I've been poking around and it looks like it will be fun. I also see that there is a lot of documentation once I am signed in. Maybe just put some basic information on the home page. A few bullet points wort

That sounds like a neat game, but there is zero information on the website. I went ahead and signed up anyway just to see what it's about, but I would not have if I wasn't such a football nut. How is the game played? Is it like fantasy foot

My guess would be the ease with which one can make a derivative and APT. Red Hat has been a pain in the neck at times. I remember the CentOS people having to jump through some hoops because of some stuff Red Hat was doing. Slackware can be

The Supreme Court does not "legalize" anything. They interpret existing laws and decide on their legality. They can't shoot it down just because it sucks. Their decision is based on whether or not the law runs afoul of the Constitution. Don

You would be surprised at how many sites do not send a 404 response header.

any developer worth her salt jumps at the chance to learn a new language on the company dime I would agree with that sentiment. Another way to put it is I would prefer not to be on a team with a developer that wouldn't do that. Still, I a

If your developers are either incapable of pivoting to a new language or flat out refuse to, then they are terrible developers. That's a pretty strong statement. I'm glad I don't work for you. If my employer decides to switch to Cobol and

I disagree. Living paycheck to paycheck is not necessarily exclusive to lower earners or those short on time. Personally, when I did live paycheck to paycheck I had nothing but time. For most Americans, more money means bigger bills. Got a

Like others have said, there is an app. Prior to the app (and still available), you would scan both sides of the check and email the images. They also have a deal with UPS that allows you to go to a UPS store where they swipe your ATM card,

Very cool. Mind sharing some details? Did you blog it? What kind of hardware did you use? How did you figure out how/what to do? What other "smart-house stuff" did you come up with?

For me, the first 6-8 weeks were the most difficult. It starts getting easier and you start getting better at it. Hang in there. Your parents didn't mention it because they probably forgot how difficult that part was. It passes quickly-- ev

I expected this once they got the iPhone. It would have been great for marketing if they had really offered unlimited data, but terrible for the network. I think the unlimited tier is just not sustainable. Fair enough. What is outrageous ab

Lose respect? Cut him some slack. He has worked hard on the biography and is promoting it ahead of release. It's what people do prior to the release of a book, movie, startup, etc. Should he be hiding out under a rock or something? It's on

Somewhat offtopic... But does anyone know of an inexpensive backup provider that works with rsync (or at least has Linux compatible software that doesn't require inotify)? I'm looking for something that will run on my Synology DS211j NAS. C
