No standards and don't take it personally. I was simply asking if your opinion was based on recent use of Asterisk or your experience from a few years ago. Software evolves, sometimes in a good way.

Is the part about it being "a bitch to use and get going right" based on your extensive use of it a few years back? Linux was a bitch to use and to get going right when I first started using it back in the 1990's.

"Why would a buyer's agent be a good faith representative in negotiations if it was in their personal interest that the sale price be higher?" Because, for the good ones, their professional reputation and license are on the line. You won't

"This belief follows from the mistaken notion that if there are two brokers involved in the transaction where one has listed the property and the other is assisting a buyer in finding a property, then one of them has a fiduciary responsibil

If that's what you need to motivate you, then don't bother.

A lot of computer security and cryptography folks are into lockpicking.

If 1. your head and heart are not in it and you can't make them get back in, or 2. you didn't do a minimal level of marketing research to determine who your competition is, who your target market is, and what your product's value to the mar

"First you need to stop asking such questions. These are just negative thoughts that you have and because you don't want to say them, you put it in a question form. but that still has the bad effect. so stop that right-a-way!" That is very

Doesn't Lisp already do this?

I agree with you, on both counts. It seems very ironic to have a toolbar app that monitors and prevents your use of the web. This is a behavioral problem (procrastination, time wasting, boredom, poor management), not a technical problem. Th

A new form of literature? I hope not. That was boring. Twitter is a vacuous way to waste time reading about boring details of stranger's lives.

Probably because if you believe that web apps are where the future is, then Microsoft's business model is severely screwed because they have no products that compete in that space, they don't control it (despite IE market share), and they h

I agree, which is why I suggested in an earlier thread that Jerry Yang could conceivably replace Ray Ozzie in a Microsoft/Yahoo merger. Ray Ozzie may be an awesome programmer (but I've never used one of his programs), but he isn't doing a v

The guy on the far left counts as an extra person after the shift (and the loss of the top of his head).

Interesting move especially in the context of a recent Garner report predicting bad times for Microsoft ( http://www.news.com/8301-13860_3-9862322-56.html?tag=nefd.to... ). Obviously, this acquisition doesn't help Microsoft improve Vista or

"We'll change stuff without thinking about what it might break, and we won't even keep track of the changes." Are you hoping to build a user community for Arc? If so, and why would you release Arc if you weren't, then why are you not intere

Because I've always wanted to. I love software and the idea of creating innovative things that people want to use. Becoming a professor at a research university was one goal I achieved, and doing a startup is the other. My situation: I'm 38
