That crossed my mind too. But I see an ounce of truth in this. I can speak from experience, when you're young and consumed by technology, you might have difficulty conversing with women, even if you're attractive physically. My

I recommend looking into Brian Tracy. Any bookstore should have his latest books.

Go Gators ;-) As long as we're off on a tangent, this made me realize downvotes here are (pretty much) anonymous, but comments are not. I think it would be interesting if anonymous notes could be attached to downvotes. It would also

I assume the too-shy-to-reply downvoter thinks downtime is not a direct correlation to a problem with the webserver. While that's true, I was hoping to argue that the stack chosen is indicative of deeper problems such as stack complex

Hypothetically, a company like Hyperspin could create a chart of webservers that were offline (most likely to break) in the past X days. I think the results would be interesting. Example: Out of 1,234 servers that were offline for > 1 h

"Shortest path to a high-paying job." Big student loan needs to get paid somehow. Too many desperate programmers in the world is a bad scenario, IMO.

Why people might not want to get involved? Every situation is unique but 1. How do they know these two women don't know each other? 2. How many people actually saw the knife? Not everyone has 20/20 vision either. 3. Sounds like b

The part about "let us help you find a job" sounds condescending, as if the industry wasn't begging for developers that can actually write code. I would argue any developer that understands the Traveling Salesman Problem is t

Have some self-respect. If this was any other profession, a contest like this would not be tolerated. If people get the idea programmers work for free, as long as you have a clever contest, that idea becomes popular and it's bad for al

That's why I said let's pretend. I'm not talking about the article, I'm talking about contract law. You "really" missed my point. Before I took a business law class, I figured everything in the contract had t

I'm not a lawyer, but as I understand contract law, delivering something "close enough" is all that's required to satisfy a contract. Let's pretend everything's perfect except for one brown M&M. I'm s

Pen or pencil, it forces you to slow down and consider each word. If you read "On Writing Well" there's a lot of emphasis on not falling into boring patterns. It's like taking the longer, scenic route vs. the turnpike.

Could just be your hosting. For example, with Media Temple (years ago) I found it often took 7+ seconds just to redirect www to non-www, up to 12 seconds. Pingdom is a good tool to see where you're getting stuck http://too

Moisey, I suggest you review what actually happened. It was not 4 days of no response. According to your own ticket system, the first abuse complaint came in "04/25/14 at 16:10" and the 50 complaints (I did not count) c
