$99 KS is a great deal. Device ownership costs more upfront, but cheaper long term. There's really three options for you: 1. $99 + $120/year (not $149). First year is free. 2. $99 + $79 (upgrade) + $49/year. First year

More people giving less money means less pressure for deliverables, and less pressure from a single large entity. He wants to do what he wants to do because he wants it, and as a bonus get paid for it. He's not doing it primarily to

I think it's interesting you mentioned a "Star Trek" society. I think that's what everyone one of us engineers who have any kind of altruism in them wants. If not, we're just automating jobs away, which is basically automating peoples liv

It's 100% an availability problem, and integrity of the network is important. Desktops/laptops would give ~20% availability, a dedicated device will give ~80%. Think of how much the common user leaves a computer on vs a router or NAS.

She's spot on. I consider myself a competent developer (6 years experience, "big fish in a small pond"), and I don't really interview often. I've interviewed at Google twice, the first time doing 2 phone interviews and a round of on-site

I would be fine if I had an interview and was rejected -- that's just part of the game. But this guy calls and talks to me (not an interview, just the recruiter), says he will setup interviews, and now I get no response. Crazy. Don't feel

> Why would you debate putting it on your CV? It'd look a lot worse to look like you were out of work for that time Yea, that's why I haven't removed it yet. But the thought crosses my mind all the time.

So, I was a (low-ranking) employee at Beyond Oblivion. This is the first I've heard about most of those numbers and many of the extravagances. We built a killer product, that was ready for prime time, but unfortunately didn't end up selli

Your post reminds me of what xkcd says about it: http://xkcd.com/435/ There's a truth to it -- CS is just applied math, that doesn't mean you have to understand math to program, but it will be very beneficial.

It's actually a lot more complicated than that. The record labels listened -- there were multiple news reports of them signing deals with the labels... the labels were actually excited at the idea. The problem was that not only did they h

I use the Dell 24" panel in portrait for coding. It's awesome -- top is browser or music listener, whichever is necessary, middle is IDE, and bottom is console. If you were to stretch all the code over the whole screen, I agree, it might

We started with GlusterFS, but got off it because we kept having significant downtime and data loss. We've since moved to MooseFS and haven't looked back... very happy with the choice.
