But surely you encounter women outside of Great Clips. Maybe there's even one or more living in the same household as you. The context is changed, but the women are still women. Why should the context dictate how sexist someone should be to

He was already working for Apple before moving teams internally, probably because his DTS job wasn't working out or the perks of switching were too great, i.e. he started at DTS a year ago, and before that year was up he switched teams and

I'm not going to contribute to the snowballing of this particular thread by adding what I know of what he did on some of those teams and companies he lists, but...exactly. It's his ego that rubs me the wrong way the most. The way he writes

You do have a good point, but as I've learned to raise my rates without feeling ridiculous about it, I've gotten more and more emails and calls. I also don't have the balls or the experience to demand a regular $1k/hour rate, or even half t

Really? It's that problematic to go talk to someone who'll want to talk to you about your needs and see what works out for both of you? You'd prefer the guy with that vague portfolio and a flat published rate instead? I don't publish my rat

I use NuvaRing for birth control and have been doing so for a few years now, and it's a flexible plastic ring which sits inside the vagina for three weeks at a time with no removal during that time. There are some IUDs and more that are lef

The survey is presumably mobile-only, since the company behind it specializes in mobile advertising. In which case those kinds of statistics make plenty of sense - half of all mobile developers in the US writing for iOS? Not unimaginable.

Oh, I'm not claiming they don't ever fail...they do. It happens. I can read your errors for myself. However, redundancy doesn't mean that you avoid fs corruption altogether. If my drobo fails, so be it, drobo sucks etc., but my data is my r

That's a catch 22 that can be minimized or even avoided altogether. My main drobo backup is automatically versioned and backed up every 12 hours (to a single external drive, since I don't need to back up everything on my drobo). I've got ol

Failure is inevitable and it is only a matter of time until it happens. You're going to be finding the same issues with any other nas/raid solution and with the drives you use in them. Maybe drobo is more likely to fail than the others or s

I'm not sure on how to reply, because experiences with a Drobo seem to be extremely hit or miss and it is all very anecdotal. My drobo with all WD green drives is as silent as my Mac minis and MBP are, while a friend of mine has one also wi

I wish this were true. While the networking value of WWDC can't be ignored, I heard something like 60%+ of WWDC attendees this year were first timers, probably because the balance between iPhone and Mac in previous years shifted drastically

Hah, it was so poorly written and in bad taste it just went whoosh over my head. It's also irritating to read, as there were a lot more women devs this year at WWDC compared to the past three I attended, and Apple employs a lot of very ta

Meh, I had some more thoughts, mostly along the non-technical line... - Google I/O is only two days long while WWDC is five days long, which makes the price a bit more comparable. - Apple worked with Duarte and got all their speakers to reh

I have no idea what the OP was talking about in that respect. I was one of the many women at WWDC this year, and what? What interview? A whole bunch of us ladies had lunch together one day, and an Apple photographer was very excited to take

But Apple gives you that level of customization once you select a general size and tier of computer type based on your needs and price - and they don't have to segment a single model as though they were all totally separate models to meet

Ouch, I feel your pain. I had multiple bouts of bronchitis and pneumonia and sinus infections and probably a cold or two and sometimes at the same time. Those were definitely diagnosed and treated as they came, but I had an underlying cough

Why is it not worth a shot to ask? I wouldn't necessarily ask for medical advice nor follow it, but there'd be that small chance someone else would know something worth pursuing with my doctor (like what seems to have happened in this topic

As long as it's not all black, half colors/mixed colors should be fine for most uses, no? Mine had a small stripe of a different color on the front that most people used to write anything on, but was otherwise black. Bad idea :)

I've actually found the opposite to be true - reading on the iPad is atrocious in bright light because of the glare (probably would be alleviated with an antiglare screen protector), while pleasant on the kindle. I like the slight glow and

I don't see why not, unless Amazon attempts to blatantly sell books in the app, instead of just linking you to the Amazon website like in the iPhone app. And even then, I doubt it. No doubt Apple will make the whole book buying/reading proc

To be fair, the Kindle iPhone app is reasonably decent for reading. I can only hope the same person?/group? that worked on the iPhone app will also work on the iPad app, so they'll still be somewhat of a competitor. Especially since Amazon
