Wrong, I can read and delete emails on my Blackberry and it gets read and deleted on both a Googleapps account and a regular Imap account. I use BIS.

I actually saw a concave face until I read the article. Now I see a regular face. I'm not drunk, high, or otherwise on any substance. I hope I'm not schizophrenic, though for some reason I've always thought that it would be awesome to have

Kik is exactly what the mobile ecosystem needs. The only thing it needs is brand support. If Apple and Google made official messaging apps based around a central system with BBM's features, it would probably muscle RIM into either joining o

Oh by no means did I want to convey that you should give up the right to defend yourself. I meant that if you can defuse the situation in a non violent way in the case where you deem the assailant worthy of a second chance you might as well

Is it just me or does his blog post only reason is to reassure himself that he's above hacker news as a community. If you want to leave because you see no value in it, then by all means leave. What does it matter if the author thinks HN suc

I'm pretty sure he's from the Netherlands, so he definitely probably isn't a native speaker. That doesn't mean that he shouldn't fix the mistakes. I'm just saying that he needs to proofread ;)

I taught myself C when I was 12 years old, does that mean I'm ready for a formal job with responsibilities at 16? Ageism is not about what magical skills you have at 16 or 18 (or 20 for that matter), it's about a teenager not having experie

I was referring to the experiment on the original article in which private school kids where subjected to using their knowledge in standardized tests versus real life situations. This is actually true from elementary school all the way up t

The problem with the kids in the private schools is that they are taught to memorize a procedure to attain an answer to a pre-constructed question. For them it's different to ask if x is 3.56 and y is 4, what is the product of x times y, in

I really commend that type of behavior (I really respect someone that has the good heart to do such a thing) not because I think it's the right thing to do (though it is), but because my reaction would have been to immediately go into a "ma

This is a billion and one times better than sending your resume and contacting a recruiter. You leverage the power of the community and showcase that you actually do have competent skills. The only negative I notice, is that among the skill

This is a good thing as it will make more people aware of what Facebook is becoming. The value Facebook provides is no longer higher than the cost (in privacy, liberty to express yourself, and of possibility of targeted disruption of servic

I was asked a few years ago if I wanted to climb up the corporate ladder and become a manager. My answer was kind of like this: "Yes, but no. I think it would be more useful to promote myself and X to technical leads (sort of having various

Oh but I wasn't really sorry, and I do agree with your comment. "Sorry - buts" are almost always a way of being able to say "ohh but I didn't mean to get on your nerves", and of course, that's what I meant to do! :) Cheers.

Exercise does not guarantee a good night's sleep and can actually hinder it. Good health does (guarantee a good night's sleep). The link between exercise and sleep has more to do with the fact that people who exercise are mostly in better h

Why do you get that idea? I didn't get that impression at all. I don't think the author doesn't know the difference, I think he just used different terms to get his point across. I, thankfully, prefer to use Haml anyways :)

The system is broken by this need to have everyone available at one specific time frame. The best experiences I've had working for tech companies is when the culture is basically "We don't care if you come in or not, or when you work, just

For some reason this comment read like a longer more elaborate blog post with some pizzazz powder sprinkled all about it. Well done sir. Actually... I think the way you finished with a cliffhanger (even though I already know the story) is w

It's probably a fluke on your setup. What package manager did you use that didn't work? Are you a Unix/Linux type of guy? Most people that aren't have hard time installing any *nix based development environment. I mean, you got an error tel

So you think that the opinion (whatever it is) of a man that actually built a personal computer in a time they were none and influenced what has become today's commodity computer hardware has no value when discussing a piece of technology?
