There isn't an engineer in the world that understands AJAX, jQuery or HTML5. Oh wait! You're talking about software developers or computer programmers or computer scientists aren't you? Why didn't you say so??

The customer has been able to install "apps" on ANY pre-iPhone device from ANYWHERE. They know how that works and they didn't mind the freedom at all. Sure J2ME apps sometimes suck, but you could get them anywhere, not from a single app sto

There's at least one project that aims to make Android completely free software and thus 100% RMS approved. Free software is cooler, open source is only kinda sorta cool ;p

Immature male behaviour is celebrated as well. Look at all the tv shows that portray some men as boys who haven't been able to put away their video games and other toys. They too act like vapid teenagers ;/

while it's a terribly designed language, I've longed stopped hating it. I know all of it's quirks, and I know all of it's work arounds, and the density of support it has can't be beat. Stockholm Syndrome?

This is the paradox of capitalism. As things become cheaper, they become more like a commodity. These clones of ideas are simply turning that idea into a commodity and aside from some minor surface changes, they're really the same. The comp

I don't seeee why they're wasting their time with this. Why don't they get all those supposedly talented people to stop reinventing the wheel when it comes to social networks?

Everyone here is talking about the sensationalistic headline from the EFF. What about all the hype and sensationalism that follows Apple products?? The EFF is trying to work in your best interests, for the sake of your privacy. Apple is n

They're computer scientists then. Jesus christ guys, there are a few titles we can use instead of trying to borrow the credibility and prestige of the title "engineer" or "architect"!

The mis-use of the title "engineer" is insulting to those in that profession that earned that title. All I see are a bunch of computer programmers or computer scientists. No engineers here.

This is going to be hilarious when 4Chan or some other spontaneous group figures out how to game the system. edit: this is also why they shouldn't be called engineers or scientists. They're charlatans with their supposed interest in sociol

This makes perfect sense and will further drive us to buy more and "better" hardware. The software will slow down the comp so much so that you'll want to continually buy new hardware in the hopes of making things run faster! Intel is an evi

Yeah, no thanks. Programmers already ignore best practices and already have too much fun, look at the lack of good documentation for a lot of projects and look at the crappiness of most apps or the piles of bugs they contain. There are very

They abhor it but they may never have tried it. A lot of other workers have collectively bargained and received higher pay and other non-pay benefits. Also, it's not like you have to form a union or anything. Just collectively bargain for a

Negotiating with the help of other workers (also known as collectively bargaining) also works and works much better in most cases than a single person.

You should talk to your co-workers and ask them what their experience was asking for a raise. Another idea is to compare salaries and then see if maybe most workers deserve a raise too. If the management keeps denying raises, then you can c

This is really really good news :D Are patents old hat to software startups? Uh, they were always old hat. No one has ever liked them except for larger companies that can use them to mess up the competition.

Anything by EWDijkstra or CAR Hoare or David Gries. The Science of Programming by David Gries was very good, it covered some maths needed for programming such as set theory and then it used its own programming language (based on Dijkstra's)
