I really feel sad for him. He must've worked hard to become a specialist in his area and to be able to pay his trips and meet potential business clients abroad in person (no, businesses are not run by sitting home, even if you are a program

If you put it this way, yes they are in trouble. But the thing is.. they are in trouble for some years, and they still make awesome revenue. Turns out it's not only about the bleeding edge technology, it's about keeping the current user gro

One thing that I admire about Foursquare is that they don't only use the technology (MongoDB, Lift Framework, etc..) but also invest in it. If it wasn't for them I think that Lift wouldn't be such an advanced framework as it is now.

If people put the documents available for download for free, I think they should be left that way, no one likes someone else to makes actions for them without their knowledge. Everybody is surprised when someone tells him "Why have you made

You're right, with "&v=d" added to the URL it displays "I'm feeling ducky" and "relevant results" whereas without it displays more 'standard' results.

Not going to comment on Google, but about Duck Duck Go, I really like the service! Especially the !Bang feature and the keyboard shortcuts. I'm using it as a secondary search engine (after Google that is ;)) If someone wants to add Duck Duc

"It's a good idea to not personalize rejections. It's a better idea to use them as data in order to improve." -- so true, but it's hard for some people not to take stuff personally. When they succeed in doing that, they'll become come succe

There are packages for Ubuntu 10.04 and for the upcoming 10.10, yes - the last SS version is from 2009 - now spankin new, but not outdated, and the packages are always kept fresh.

Thanks, I figured it out the installation in Ubuntu (it has both SS and Sunflow packages, I only had to give Sunflow parameter to use more memory in the launcher/Java heap)

Lovely renders! Btw, how do you combine SS with Sunflow? (link to a blog post/how-to would be helpful :))

True, It can disorganize the team and make it counterproductive if it isn't in the 'agile' mindset (or hasn't adapted to it in a reasonable period of time).

I like how the author of the post explains his emotions and conclusions, it's like reading a mini drama :)

True, isn't really new, I use it since January. Though, there are two best "programming" fonts according to me: - free: Droid Sans Mono ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droid_(font) ) - paid: Pragmata ( http://www.fsd.it/fonts/pragma.htm

So this is something like Einztein or Academic Earth - but not for courses but for papers/publications, as far as I can get it. Deserves a bookmark, even if it requires Silverlight for rendering certain components of the page ( "To view the

I was planning to work for a company in the USA via Faculty (Java & Database stuff), for 4 months - during the summer, and as I was reading, the applicant gets a J-1 visa (or it was J-2, I can't recall now), but I got another offer so I

I smell a bit of fanboyism in the article. Yes, Apple have an eye on detail (but they aren't the only one on the earth, for sure), yes, they patent they findings so they can be the only kids on the block with that particular cool look.

The first blog mentioned doesn't even have ads, I really don't know how the blog author could've made money. It doesn't even have a donate button. At least they should've made a set of rules if a blog applies for being taxed.

Great, now except quizzes and quotes and YouTube videos posted on my "News Feed", I'll have check-ins too! Okay, maybe that was little ironic. Glad to see Facebook advancing on other fields too, and as for those check-ins on my feed, I'll c

OpenSolaris was dead long ago, this only opened the eyes to the people optimistic that things will change and there will be a future OpenSolaris release. "We will determine a simple, cost-effective means of getting enterprise users of prior
