I guess it depends how you define "large swath". Is it a certain amount of landmass or population, a percent of total landmass or population, or some other metric? I think this line is needlessly pedantic. It's reasonable to

It's an absolutely feasible project with a big enough budget. I'm not very familiar with the robotics industry, but I'd be pretty surprised if you can get off the shelf robots to do what you want. If that's true, it woul

You would fire them, instead of trying to build up their skills? I'm not even sure who you would fire in this situation, the IT director for not shepherding the ticket all the way through, or Shirley for closely following company polic

Seattle probably. Tech scene here is already growing massively, thanks in no small part to Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Facebook.

Wow so if the merger can't happen before December 31st when Solar City needs to pay back a $250 million debt with its $150 million in cash, it's going to get burned on cash injection terms isn't it?

Hm that's not bad at all! Have you considered trying to port the app to iOS though? It seems like you would have a much bigger audience there.

Does this have any effect on the seemingly small pool of games in the Chrome Store? Has anybody actually made money from that market?

Hey Ifx, the saying is "double-edged sword" not "double blade sword" [0]. Just letting you know in case English is not your native language. Personally when I am learning other languages I love to be corrected. Feel free

I've met quite a few. In an open office it's easier to ignore or gracefully leave the conversation. With individual offices you'll get pulled into tangential/"fun" discussions after a meeting when the team is o

Elon took a risk, it didn't pay off, and maybe hurt Tesla in the short term. They learned a lot of lessons from it and survived, so this should help them in the long term.

I don't see that anything has changed for states in the cybersecurity space. Third-party companies are equivalent to individuals. Governments have always had proxy companies for cybersecurity as well.

It's part of an effort to move towards something called "combined engineering" and was started as a pilot in Bing. The basic idea is less testers, more devs. Devs take on more responsibility for testing, while at the same tim

Is it bad for them to stop supporting IE6? If they created a patch for this and distributed it, why not just give the users the most recent version of IE that runs on their respective operating systems?

I'd love to hear your reasons why. Keep in mind that the population of tech savvy people in the world, of which we both belong to, is a tiny percent of the worldwide population. Tens of millions (maybe even billons? Please correct me) of pe

Many times, my cause for procrastinating is usually due to a sense of fear. That if I start, I will not know what to do, or that the direction I must take on a task is too unclear for me to feel comfortable starting... Many times, the quick

It's also necessary for us to know a.) What platform (phone, Windows, Linux, Mac...) and/or b.) On the web or desktop? With the answer to these questions you should be able to easily find out for yourself what language to use, as it seems y

Lol. I would write an simple console app in C# that would use the speech API to tell you messages. It could read from an .xml file to know reoccuring times (every day at 3pm, every other hour etc.). Happen only once times could be set by ty
