I messed up epically on an interview. It was a 3 part interview for a JS/RoR coder. 1. I passed the resume and chat portion 2. I passed the telephone questionnaire and got along great with the interviewer 3. (Fail) I scheduled my inter

I feel so bad for Naoki that he was compromised in this scary manner. While the hacker did con his way on the phone for personal information, at the minimum, it's...hmmm....not nice...but "informative/narcissistic," of t

So Amazon's model is to make money from the subscription service...hopefully that's a typo at $79/month. I think Amazon can be successful in the gaming industry, given the fact of their customer base, model of free to play, b

I know this is just accounting inflation, but from a collectors stand point...if you had $1.50 from that era, it would be worth waaaaaay more than $37.70 :)

I totally agree...this time around Sony and Microsoft really were under inventory constraints to launch for the holiday season.... If Microsoft could have, I think they would've offered their subsidized consoles (like they did the 360)

I don't feel any console can really compare to a custom built gaming PC...for a while I was hosting my website and ffmpeg compression server on my gaming rig. In regards to the latest consoles, I have a ps4...and while most "antic

I gotta give AMD massive credit...while I have mainly used intel in my setups, AMD has really pushed their offerings. First I remember everyone driving the price up of an AMD video card just because bitcoin mining. Second they got the backi

Call me speculative of everything I see on the net, but I see many things in this high production ad that would hold me back from contributing (and I have donated money before). 1. Wouldn't it be more cost effective to run livecd'

That is amazingly clean! I've been using Textastic, but this looks worth a try!

Seeing as I was using the exact same boards for my 6 rack cluster...It's a little concerning to see pic 12, in what looks like to be a disassembled PSU on the underside of the board. Other than that...I think this build is actually pr

Just sent off my resume and cover letter to your email. I've been searching for a career with something that I could be personally passionate about. Everything about ClassDojo sounds awesome!

I'm so happy Canonical is pushing this innovation. As soon as I heard about their initial attempt in mobile OS on a Atrix, I knew this is where computing had to be going. That phone's design looks so slick too!

Good work! I think it's a great demonstration of css and it's capabilities (as well as the devs skills). This is one of my own downfalls, I'll spend hours (sometimes days) on css UI when there is always a faster and easier me

I'm a fan of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, so it's sad to see when a company's founder steps down. I feel like the ambition and drive sometimes disappear...then bottom line and dividends matter over pride.

Way to go Coinbase! It's awesome to see some innovation coming to Bitcoin. This model (instant purchasing) is similar to Paypal's Instant payment, and even accounting for the risk/reward, I think it's an absolutely great

I'm very happy about this. I've been hoping for Ubuntu's mobile OS to catch on, since it doubles as a desktop. Ubuntu's concept (an actual pocket PC), is where I see the next move in mobile computing actually going.

Think this is cool, please consider a Twitter sign up at the least, (not sure about others) I prefer not to reactivate my FB.

I would definitely (and will now) look into it. There is nothing more heart breaking and disappointing then coding for hours, setting up an infrastructure, becoming bootstrapped...then getting a cease and desist. Only thing to compare to th

There's a link right under the blue FB login [ Sign up without Facebook ] that should allow you to download the pdf, that's worth a try.

As I've said before, it's disappointing this C&D came from California, especially when I view our state as one that embraces tech. I speculate that the purpose of this publicized cease and desist letter was just to send a mess

This reminds me of the IRS' $60k Star Trek themed YouTube campaign [0]. Does this frivolous spending of tax payer money get categorized under marketing expenses or operating losses? [sarcasm] [0] http://www.dailymail.co.uk&#

I'm against conceptual patents like these. I feel they are too abstract, monopolize a common functionality/method, and hurt competition. Way to go Todd Moore, even if they settled for $5, fight what you believe in! A general abstr

A common oversight in politics is that some corporations and even other foreign dignitaries will fund political campaigns and lobby politicians. Side Note: Please don't ask people to upvote you.

It is absolutely great to hear these comparisons made and the support of his father. I'm very glad the father went through an attorney in this situation, instead of the possibility of some ludicrous claim (like interfering in an open i
