Those "getsatisfaction" people need to be eradicated. TOTAL rats in suits - I wish I could tell you all who and what, but a person I know (former client) has enough on them to get them thrown in the bighouse.

I love the concept, I played Squad Leader a few times and enjoyed it quite a bit. I think that PanzerBlitz would also be great to see online like this. Too bad I don't have enough time to check it out today.

I think ESR has an excellent point, and interpret his saying that to mean that it is not mandatory to release under the GPL if it hinders what you are doing, because actual market conditions have proven that the closed source model can't co

In all seriousness, doesn't Notarbartolo look like pg in that picture? :) I swear, to me, he looks a lot like pg!

pg, I have wanted to read about your thoughts on the Ruby programming language for a long time now, I have simply not wanted to impose or be a nuisance by clamoring for an essay . . . that would be absolutely great I think, I have gathered

Hooray! I vote for a permanent ban on fluffy links. The Fluffy category ought to include: - MBA related stuff - Suit related stuff - Content free linkbait articles that mention the words "hacker" or "hackers" in the title, like the absolute

I think you missed the rely upon part. Also, I think the main point of what you quoted is that the additional level of abstraction does more harm that it does good when it comes to hacking, not everyday 9-5 in the office type programming. A

Think the article should have been titled "Core Competencies of Coders" I expected something that would include, at the very least, Algorithms and Data Structures. Software Construction is not the sole realm of the Hacker. coder!=hacker Cod

The people you have worked with, the LE at that street level, can hardly fn read, and they don't write the laws, and they don't profit from them the way others higher up the chain do, but they do understand that it is keeping them employed.

hmmm A "designer" "knowledgeable in Python/Ruby/Perl/PHP/SQL/LISP/C/C#/.NET . . . JS" sounds interesting. I think what you are looking for is a developer. Also, watch the "simple" in the title, the word "simple" in a description like that u

I think AutoCAD is written in Lisp. I like that, Lisp used to make something used to make something.

THIS PROVES MY POINT Hackers would have engaged me in discussion of what I wrote. Effeminate MBA candidate WANNABE HACKERS would downmod me. Thank you, you have proven my point.

I think the problem boils down to the presence of non-hackers in here. It's mostly the non-hackers that abuse the downmodding (anyone who throws a hissy fit like a little girl and starts the abusive downmodding by accusing someone of trolli

I spent $200 US on a cross trainer last year - best $200 I have ever spent. I highly recommend one, you do not really feel how much of a workout you are getting until you stop, and it is also gentle - I have yet to experience soreness or in

What caught my attention about this book is the Preface by Hal Abelson: “Julie and Gerry Sussman and I are flattered that Harvey and Wright characterize their revolutionary introduction to computer science as a “prequel” to our text Structu

From recent, direct experience: 9 out of 10 people you come across in that industry are not people you want to deal with. Trust me.

I see what you are saying about the widespread consumer deception, it is true, and yes - we can agree to disagree. I simply refuse to do it because others are, and believe that successful market studies can be carried out without deceptive

I had to break up my reply into several posts in order for this app to be able to handle it. How dissapointing. I have seen PHP do better than this. This is depressing.

Market surveys and market studies in many ways shapes and forms have been, are, and will continue to be used to great success, the problem with your variation is that it involves deception. You don't bs people and trick them into taking you

What has worked for me in the past (for the provision of services) has been a combination of becoming intimately acquainted with a process, and talking to people who carry out this process regularly, both with the intention of identifying w
