Its not tough, you work with douchbags. I'm not trying to be rude here, I'm giving you some advice, change the habbits or leave, that kind of environment is toxic. "tight deadlines" when it takes 30 minutes to rewrite even a multiple page r

BEDMAS (what I was taught in school) really throws some confusion in there concerning PEMDAS. Heh. We've started using PEMA in NZ to lessen confusion. I assume they go on to explain where division / subtraction went.

Has anyone got any links to "influential" tech bloggers claiming RSS is dead? I know there has been a lot of fuss about it with google touting "dwindling users", yet I still haven't seen any such claims laid out in this article. Did I miss

This is looking like the best straight up switch out for reader. Imports are currently limited, and adding a sub takes a while. I'm sure it will settle down in a couple of days. Message when clicking "import": Hey! Because of the huge load

I don't have a drinking problem, you have a problem with my drinking, and that is not my problem. In other words, you're the one with the problem. It is open by design, and there isn't a problem with the design.

The reason you get into argunents is because your point of view is flawed. It would be far to easy to hide yourself or fake your id. Implementing anything like this would simply hinder the legal user experience and do nothing to stop the ba

These things were built into the network with good reasons. As were the ways to secure yourself. Just because it is insecure by design doesnt mean laws should be in place to protect those who show no desire to understand or use technology i

I'm inclined to agree there is likely a substantial increase in input, but I'm not sold on the idea we lack the bandwidth or capacity. In fact I'm kind of on the fence, we humans tend to approximate a lot of information not under our direct

Do you go on facebook at work? This is such a non issue.

They could also email you a huge image of it, or send you a bit.ly link, or facebook you, or tweet it to you. Sounds like more of a problem with your choice of friends.

Apart from my security concerns I noted elsewhere, I have one major question why facebook? Why not google plus? why not twitter? Why not forgo the social network douchebaggery and just check my contact list? Anyway, still love the idea, but

Or just say "wifi password sync and share". I too had to think far too hard about the dropbox tagline, and the quip at the bottom about facebook. Came off far too tacky. The idea though, instant classic, love it. I just hope these things ar

Why are these points split? Anyway, why are you sharing private photos online? Seems like an idiot thing to do irrelevant of dropbox's horrendous track record. And, yes this is the best method and should be in place everywhere, I always wan

Its sad no other languages have noticed this. PHP is a natural progression from HTML for beginners. Learn HTML, sprinkle a bit of inline PHP here and there, and bam you have a "dynamic" website. An incredibly bad and impossible to maintain
