Tying your business fortunes to the goodwill of Facebook is like having the fate a toothbrush bird that feeds from the mouth an alligator. The toothbrush bird will never grow to be as big as the alligator and it eats only as much as the all

I've seen good candidates get turned away for not finishing college, and to that I have to ask would you turn away Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs? Many professions need to change their attitude about requiring college degrees.

Excellent. I wish there was a similar tutorial for adding language features SpiderMonkey.

I also decided that sed no longer supports regexes because I said so. And ls -l will now shows a list of print jobs instead of files because maybe that's what you meant. ... oh and ping no longer supports IPv4 because I want everyone to ado

! Gbps upload and download speed. Wonderful. Unless you can give me an static IP address and let me serve whatever I want from that IP than I'm not failling out of my chair over this.

Greatness in this sense means you're able to provide value beyond the bounds of your job description. Some people, especially engineers, tend to be heads-down and focused on the specific tasks and responsibilities assigned to them, and ever

Engineers can sometimes be quick to dismiss the value of other roles Very true and unfortunately an attitude which I've seen hold many good engineers back from career growth. Enlightenment comes when you are able to recognize that the non

Yes, technical writers are required to use proper grammar. Why is that controversial? I do find it ironic that his prose has commas in places where most people would not put a comma, and his placement is probably correct, but still somewhat

You're much more likely to see a whole new photo sharing service from Yahoo rather than an attempt to revive the Flickr brand. Once a brand has stagnated and everyone has moved on then it's extremely difficult to regain that audience, kind

Anywhere you choose to put your money where the outcome is uncertain is gambling. Wall St's investment offerings have so many degrees of uncertainty the no one can assess their actual risk. Stocks like Enron and MCI Worldcom were sold as sa

Wall St brokerages pretend they are not in the gambling business by presenting their offerings as something every resposible adult should be pruchasing to secure their financial future, and then only making passing obligatory mention of the
