Wow, sad to hear that - ironic that cancer was what got Siskel too back when the two of them were doing reviews together - remember "two thumbs up"?

This article reminds of me of Chris Goggans' closing editorial in Phrack 48 [1] where he made a similar point about how much things had changed with regards to being able to access and learn about computers: "In this day and age, you re

The few I've talked to were far too knowledgeable to be some sort of incognito booth babes. Perhaps it's because of the negative stereotype that the more attractive a women is, the less intelligent she is, or at least less likely that she

Funny, from the title, I thought I'd read the article and end up wanting to defend all of Mayer's policy (the intent of which seems right), but then you see quotes like: Job applicants often go through the interview process, then "wait and

From the article, Let's ignore the hurt feelings that our employees will have about making a 17 year-old a millionaire. The price tag for this company aside, am I the only one that detects a hint of jealousy in some of the comments that s

Interesting that nobody has mentioned yet how useful Expect can be as an automated testing tool- my first gig out of college was at Ericsson where we were developing at an edge router (the AXI-540) that was going to be competitive with Cisc

That's the rub these days- don't talk to her and you run the risk of making her feel "excluded", do talk her to and you run the risk of being seen as "flirting".

If they didn't like being publicly outed for saying this stuff, guess what? All they had to do was shut their mouths. Well if it makes you feel any better, I'm willing to bet that going forward more male developers will in fact be "shutti

One thing I am never, ever, going to tell my kids is the stupid "sticks and stones" rhyme. That's just to make you feel better, not them. I agree. Part of the problem is that adults tend to hold kids to a much different standard than they

Yeah, my experience as a father has been the same. When it gets quiet, it may mean your kid is no longer playing with his toys and instead has just pulled up the floor vent to chuck his poop filled diaper into your ventilation ducts. Fun ti

If you understood pointers well enough, you would see Linus's version as more readable. I agree - and as someone who makes his living as a C programmer, I'm sure someone could easily come up with a terse piece of Ruby code that I would vi
