Doubt it. I learned Prolog in 1 week, the syntax is mighty simple and usable. I'm still foggy on Erlang, however, and less motivated every time I refer to documentation (but hey, I'm getting paid for it so it kind of evens out).

I don't want to code quickly, I want to code effectively. Other than that, we already knew that the subconcious mind needs time to process problems..Now excuse me, I'm gonna go get some fun done.

Probably not, although I couldn't tell for sure at this moment. It's certainly a lot cooler debugging feature in relation to Intel chips.

Facebook makes almost no money. Not only you have no way of knowing that (unless of course you work there, in which case please let me know), but you grossly underestimate their capacity to take a revenue of hundreds of billions and turn

I'm sorry, but every reference I've ever read to the history of Apple has only reinforced my opinion that Jobs is a marketing bully. A clever one, perhaps, but still. PS. I'm counting seconds until I get to -5.

No, don't fall into that trap. She was projecting her experiences onto a cover which could be received in many different ways. The way she rejected it as sexist is the result of this underlying process.

Seriously? I have a bit of background on research, and Google always looked the more attractive choice, still does. I'd pick Facebook in anticipation of a massive IPO, honestly; I wouldn't expect to be equally appreciated in Google.

Does it matter now, with no way to confirm or deny the story? As a software engineer, I'm willing to say no, not beyond reasonable doubt.

No, but it's irrelevant anyway. Google should've fired the guy (gal?) anyway, but it's publicized as well. That, in anybody's eyes, shows a greater lack of professionalism and company adherence to confidentiality than leaking a (positive!)

Because it's easy to manipulate people like that. Have you ever been the subject of a sexual harassment lawsuit? Even though I haven't either, it's mighty ugly. And women always come on top, no matter what the final scenes of 'Disclosure' s

Finally, a voice of reason. I think it's extremely hard for people not to project their own thoughts and background of abuse (mostly perceived, but also otherwise) on simple things like a picture, a work of art, or a book, while simultaneou

That's exactly what's being done by women too, in articles like the one posted, and it hasn't stopped anyone from sympathizing or the collective hypocritic outcry of the masses that are offended by public displays of parts of the human body

So, to summarize: Google managed to appear more intimidating to any and all its competitors (by giving everyone a 10% raise) and fuck up its public image, all in two days. Zuckerberg must be laughing his ass off right now.

That's not journalism. OK, it may be today's journalism, but who trusts news sources like that?

I'm wondering how much of this isn't an artifact of that specific picture; how do we know the RGB distribution in the original pic isn't skewed away from blue? That might explain why there's little information in the blue channel, right? ed

In addition to the fallacy that the ball will keep bouncing for an infinite amount of time, I'd like to add that the ball will never roll even when it stops bouncing, because of the frictionless environment, it will slide instead. Unless of

At least two banks here in Greece use a similar system (it's essentially a two factor authentication variant). Connecting it via USB would defeat the whole purpose of this second trusted information channel, between the OTP device and the b

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I understand you might feel 'uncomfortable' hiding electromagnetic forces and quantum mechanics behind Newtonian physics (how so?), but how's that relevant to the problem, or its answer?
