Funny how the rich oil sheiks are doing that too with gold and silver but not to hide it!

It is really sad how relevant and spot on your analysis is. I have moved from a small typical 10-15 guys IT shop to a well established national player in private banking and it is unbelievable how crippling and exhausting work is there - bu

It shows the fundamental differences in the work a manager and a software engineer does. The open communication will make it easier for the manager to load-off work, to stay in the loop, to check on their employees "subtly" and writing all

They are extremely paranoid of anyone "sneaking" in, especially from countries that could be considered "poorer". I agree, the process of a visitor's visa is insane. You are probably much better off if she just came as a tourist... Also, wh

This has been mentioned a few times in here and sounds interesting - sweeter on the first sips but people would NOT prefer the whole can. Please cite sources!!

I think I have the SR80i and I love them! Only thing I can't stand is the thick, clumsy cables which tend to always seem to have some tension because the two headphones can turn freely. Still, I would not replace them for any other brand.

I cannot think of any other market with that much voodoo and obscure "magic" as high end audio equipment or (especially) guitar tube amplifiers. And they make sure to keep their selling arguments to "musicality", "passion" and "emotions" be

The only scenario I can imagine where storing passwords in plain text is acceptable is when you are going for a CRAM-MD5 sort of authentication where the actual password will never go across the wire and even then it is a hell of a trade of

I think I have been putting this off far too long but... do you guys think one could study TAOCP alone, without studying at MIT or Berkeley? I have been working with computers since more than 18 years as a programmer and sys architect but m

Also, the fact that the bossman can obviously NOT think of any (better) way of getting new customers but asking his people to implement features and then hope to lure someone in sounds pretty bad. Depending on country and social insurance a

Come on, this is clearly far, FAR away from being NoSQL! You are missing a hip, unusual name, a cool website design, clever, convincing slogans, lots of media/blog coverage and an intriguingly large downloadable binary version.

Maybe I missed it but how/where can you sync all that with your phone then? At least in the past, this is where the whole Apple "PIM" suite was really shining for me: effortless syncing with mobile and smart phones without installing additi

I think you are only really "rich" when you are making a decent (e.g. middle/upper middle-class) monthly salary without even (theoretically) setting a foot out of bed, ever. Given the complete freedom to do a lot of things in your life with

I am sorry, the WSJ article seemed like a lot of trolling to me. It never touched on the subject of why Chinese mothers are allegedly "superior" at bringing up "better" or "more successful" children (whatever that may be). Instead it took a

I can see your point but I like to think that "even" CFOs of Goldman Sachs are just people - behind every oh so successful CxO is just a human being with often a horrible, horrible personal life due to all the work and responsibilities and

I am from Europe as well and I can wholeheartedly agree with this. I know it has become so popular to be laughing about the States over here but let me tell you something... each and every time I had to deal with people from the States over

You are right - it was a bad example... I need to read up more on my mindfulness :)

I am sorry, I have to say this... my Quake bits won't let me rest otherwise. "Now they just have to figure out the Quad Damage and it's going to be insta-gibs on any target!"

Between "RTs of news sites", "I am having a bagel" and absolutely shameless self promoting plugs I just came to the misanthropic conclusion of twitter = noise. I know such generalizations are unfair and a bit closed minded... I can't help i

So, you are just re-linking from news site which in turn have links to the actual content so you are leveraging TechCrunch/HackerNews to do a lot of pre-sorting for you - assuming you link to the actual site of course and not HackerNews or

I would say it perfectly displays what wikileaks was for them: just another regular client and they are not going to bend over just for one "small fish", no matter how beloved and important this one fish is amongst the tech savvy crowd.

I agree with you. It should be much more accepted and encouraged to seek therapy or coaching when suffering from a strong lack of social skills, being very lonely or even from social anxiety or depressions. Nobody should have to carry those

With all due respect, someone should also tell ESR that he's not God's gift to geeks, hackers, free/open software/source, the internet or computers in general.

OK I am going to bite... what should "people" use instead? SCP/SFTP? Adds quite an overhead and puts more load on the server; I have never reached even nearly the same dl rate with scp/sftp that I would get with ftp and we are talking lame

I never really liked ProFTPd, it always seemed too huge and bloated. My favorite has always been Pure-FTPd - it really has some neat features and is very easy to setup and so far very reliable for me.

Maybe my sarcasm detector is off but to me you are not making any sense at all in this whole thread here but you sound a lot like you are on a very special quest of altering the way people think about education and programming so good luck,

by kahawe 16y ago
So basically you are trying to say any kind of education and learning process is a waste unless you go and aim straight at multinational multibillion dollar success or what is your point?

Just to put this into perspective a bit: I doubt that any of those "awesome" success stories like facebook, twitter or whatnot would have ever been found a "really good business idea" a few years ago; go back 10, 20 years and offering ANYTH
