All of their pictures are of unnaturally thin midsections. How about showing us what the shirts look like on regular men. I don't know anyone in person with the kind of physique they show the shirts on. Also, they are all stripes

My 9 year old son was shocked the other day when I mentioned that when I started programming we didn't have "windows" or a mouse. He said "How can that even possibly be a computer?"

Some people don't have a lot of money and try to make things last as long as they can before they have to spend more money. There are a lot of folks out there who will say "I spent a lot of money on this danged machine 15 or 20 y

Pretty cool. I hate doing expense reports. Now if you could just get rid of the traditional timesheet too, it would be the perfect app! (I hate doing timesheets every week too. Over the years I've used more than a dozen different of

If you want to understand everything that everyone is working on, where does the time and energy come from to do that? It comes from everything else you are trying to do. It is not "free". An open office plan may make it easier

I tried construction worker earmuffs for a while. The biggest problem is that I wear eyeglasses. The arms for my eyeglasses have to go through the soundproofing system to hang on to my face, which leaks sound and makes them kind of useles

Is it really down? I'm not so sure. From what I've observed, most saavy tech people where already aware of the security issues. I'm sure there were some (perhaps not quite as saavy?) tech people who were shocked by the rec

In the article they mention that log functions make some multiplication problems much faster for humans to solve. Can they also make it faster for computers to solve? In other words, if I'm writing a program (perhaps for data analysis

Well, there is 'Moose' if you want to do OO Perl: http://moose.iinteractive.com/ Some folks I know swear by it. I just find Perl hard to read and not very intuitive. My perl loving friends, on the other hand, claim the opposite. I gu

I haven't used an alarm clock in many years. I look at the time before I fall asleep and decide what time I want to wake up, and I do. It doesn't matter how late I went to bed, nor how early I have to get up. I just have to decide before
