Contact with foreign entities when that person is under investigation for illegal activities. The NSA does not investigate your communication just because you call a foreign entity.

My example of how crazy things are nowadays. Long ago, I designed and developed a medical computer for a well-known manufacturer. If you walked into any eye doctor or surgeon today and mentioned its name, they would know what it is. I start

Comparing e-cigs to other unhealthy things does not make e-cigs any better for you. Best advice. Don't be stupid. Don't smoke anything at all. It's unnatural. Your lungs are trying to tell you something when you first try it.

The death of XHTML was brought on by the then crop of kids who don't want to understand how computers work and want it all done for them with someone else's code cause computer science is too hard and they'd have to think and

When I broke up with my last girlfriend, she said one of the best things I ever did for her was get her to quit smoking. Now things taste better, she smells things better, and she's not huffing after climbing the stairs.

Do not think we still don't do it. My line was to state that I have not bothered to explain anything to anyone for years, not that we haven't done it for years. We would never use code generators cause we're professional prog

Like dumpster diving you can find good content anywhere but are you sure you want to dive into dumpsters?

Absolutely not! I haven't a clue why you think that. My point is, the guy I responded to complains that he can get his commodity hardware fixed anywhere while his Apple needs to be taken to a "specialty" store as if they were

That's why I would never buy a Ferrari. In my small town, I wouldn't be able to find anyone to work on it. What a crap car.

I've given up trying to get people to understand that writing fundamental code and markup is far easier than CMS/library/framework hopping. My company created two large web sites that you visit at least once a month and no on

Two years ago, those 50 customers weren't using Slack at all. It will be just as easy for them to leave.

I predict that, one year from now, few people will be talking about Slack and, two years from now, Slack will be teetering on insolvency.

The same as what makes a great spouse. No one knows. It's different for everyone. Not all work out. Some will be unhappy and leave. Even the best of people.

That I've been deeply involved in the design and implementation of both hardware and software for 40 years and know nothing about it, and don't know anyone in the industry who does either, is a comment on the $16B evaluation. Comp

I hear people mention Slack once in a while on various forums but I have no clue what it is. I do not know anyone who uses it so it's not something I, or anyone I know, feels a need for--otherwise we would be searching it out. And ther

Only if the Chinese, Russians, Germans, et al, promise to do the same thing.

by sureaboutthis 7y ago
I find it interesting that so many people think they are so important that the CIA would be interested in them. Or that they think there are enough intelligence agency employees to bother.

First there was marketing. Then there was adaptive design. And variables are new compared to almost everything else.

For a long time, it didn't need any of those things. It's only been a recent need for marketing, mainly.
