   Out of curiousity I tested that particular statement, and you're right. Compared to $('#foo').attr('bar', 'baz'); your code is 30 times faster in Chrome 9 81 times faster in Firefox 3.6

   Ha. Good luck to them. Thunderbolt will be lucky to replace firewire. There's no way in the world it can replace USB, Ethernet or HDMI. Just think of the number of devices out there with these ports. It might replace SATA eventually, but it

   Microsoft doesn't ban apps. They don't even have an easy way of doing so.

   Here's a warning to you. Don't develop for Facebook. They essentially are a tyranny, you can't really take them to court for blocking you.

   Good developers are generally employed and don't stay on the market long when they want/need another job. I've done lots of interviews at my last job, and ALL good candidates were employed at the time and were looking for either more money

   Would you guys be really happy to make $258K from a startup sale? I don't think I would be that excited. Once you subtract all the fees, taxes, investors share, you're left with maybe $150K. Then you split it among team members, and you end

   Love the idea, but what a douchebaggy presentation. Take your fucking sunglasses off, you're indoors, and it's dark outside.

    As much as I support geohot and dislike DMCA, I'm pretty sure releasing code that circumvents security (and especially the one that causes financial loss) is still illegal. http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/openlaw/DVD/1201.html#a http://cybe

    Kudos to his manager for actually looking at the code and recognizing the problem. Maintainable code is extremely important. Just keep your code simple. Adding another layer of abstraction instead of writing a simple and readable loop (if t

    So let's say you know the percentage, like 10%. What would it mean to you? There's nothing that would stop them from diluting it to 0.0000001%.

    176K is not serious CEO pay, it's a salary of a senior level programmer.

    It's not the hosting that costs much usually, it's developers + editors + managers + their managers. It all adds up very quickly.

    I never said anything about technical only knowledge. I myself took a few art classes, and enjoyed them. What I said is that people pick these majors, and then we see these crazy unemployment stats. Most of these unemployed people are not q

    Anther problem is the education that people choose. The world is full of "VCR repairmen", while everyone is using disposable bluray players. I see it again and again, students pick silly, simple or just useless degrees, such as * phil

    They are trying to replicate the old media experience (newspaper) on the new technology. It's a pretty dumb idea. That's what HTML is for, websites have been around long enough and are good enough to present information, especially such sim

    You would think $200K/year is a lot of fucking money, but it is really not that much, especially if you live in Manhattan. Here every shitty 1br apartment costs $800K+. Studios are $500K+. So just to buy a crappy small 1br would take you at
