I don't want to live there, but I sure as hell would love to spend some time there, how many people for the next 50 years will be able to say they have been to Mars? I want to be one of the lucky ones.

So you're stating that most PHP programmers are mediocre programmers? This is a very off generalization, the language you use doesn't effect your ability as a programmer, what does is the way you use it. Anything you can build in Ruby or

Thats a humongous coincidence, I work at the end of Cowling road just by the Spinners! The world is such a small place.

Blackpool is 45 minutes away on the bus - thanks for this, I was really dreading sitting alone at christmas!

It's a shame this isn't the UK - I'm going to be alone for christmas this year and it would have been cool to spend it with like minded, kind people such as yourself and Gautam.

I'm located in the north of England, I can't speak for the parent. And yeah, I'm sick to death of the "don't be late thing", my bus comes at an awkward time and it's hit or miss if it's late to be honest (it normally is). Most mornings I ha

Thanks for your advice and information - personally, I agree with a lot of the points you've made. The problem is that at the time I took my job, I didn't have much choice, I was in a shitty position, no job, no money, no home, etc. and I t

Currently, moving to London isn't possible for me, I've been with my girlfriend for 3 years now and I have to take that in to account when relocating is considered. That aside, I agree with a lot of what you've said, I'm currently feeling p

I'm currently a junior developer and will share the lessons of my experience 6 months in: - Making mistakes will kill you, when you sit at home working on your personal projects and a bug slips through, it's not so bad, you can fix them and

I should state that I wasn't complaining about the website, merely about a single persons comment - the fact that it happened to be PG is largely irrelevant to my complaint, it could have been about anyone. Although, I believe this was cov

That's fine, it was a perfectly honest mistake to make. :)

None of us are under any obligation to give a response or answer a question put to us on this site, but the fact of the matter is that we choose to. The key point I've taken away from this is that everyone says that the websites monitoring

This comment gave me a slight giggle, which is good as I'm just about to start my day. It has largely gone off topic, which is also, largely my fault and it's a shame that the original topic has been overshadowed by this instead of actual u

I should state that I'm not part of the original posters team or in any way affiliated with them to alleviate any confusion (" he assumed something about you ") before I go on. I don't wish to devolve in to bitchiness and have no reason to

I'm actually really sorry, but I didn't understand your comment, I'm not sure if it's too early or I lack the intelligence but I've been reading it again and again for the past 5 minutes and I can't seem to get my head around it, so I can't

In this case it points to a flaw in the system itself - if having any details of it at all allows you to game it, it only takes one lucky person to stumble across some aspect of it accidentally and we will have multiple unknown exploiters u

There was really no need to respond so pointedly or awkwardly, the parent posted a genuine question and it really begged a slightly more polite response. I understand that you are an extremely busy man and I don't mean to bag on the owner o

Sorry for the late reply - You're most welcome, my girlfriend showed me this 6 months ago and I'm a convert now, to the point where I find it difficult to concentrate without it and I have to keep my window open at night or everything just

I'm on the bus at the moment on the way to work, I use a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge in my personal time, it's a decent machine and was within my budget at the time I bought it, but I agree, the keyboard can be extremely loud in quiet areas, but t

Far less offensive than including a speaker who isn't white male simply because they aren't white male. This isn't clear cut, or black and white, it's hovering somewhere in the grey in between, in all honesty, if you were a minority would y

I just read this entire article on the way to work and I have to say it's one of the best written and most informative pieces I've had the luck to come across on here. Personally, I'm ill informed with most "software" languages and mostly u

Until now I had not seen this video, but thank you. This really puts in to perspective the brevity of human life and how little we have achieved so far, from leaving the primordial soup to firing Glee across our television network to entert

This is without a doubt one of the coolest and most beautiful webgl experiments I have seen in the last few years, it actually struck a real chord with me - music, lighting, effects, the zoom and the sheer beauty of it. For those people unl

Yeah, it's a strange one though - I was already freelancing for two years when I came in to this job, but couldn't find a job elsewhere without a degree in the time scale I had (I was jobless, broke and homeless at one point in the last 9 m

Yeah, I work 30 hours + some overtime, 5 days a week, 6 hours a day, plus 2 hours travelling each way (on a bus pass which costs me around 850 pounds per year).

It wasn't easy, I went through a lot of rejection before I finally found this job.

Unfortunately, it is around that, my maths was a little off, it's £4,100 per year.
