You see it was all fake? Buzz Aldrin wasn't really posing in front of the moon. It was just a picture.

I used Yahoo finance before the market tanked (No, really before, I got out in time). I loved how easy it was to view up to 100 years of history of almost anything. Certainly helped me believe there was absolutely no reason my modest portfo

Can't speak for the UK. In the Netherlands we have Hyves instead of Facebook, Marktplaats instead of eBay, bol.com instead of Amazon, and even the most popular search engine was Dutch for a long time (ilse). The problem is it's hard for the

Because it's cheaper, more efficient, gives you more control between components, may keep your code-base smaller, your engineers actually get something done, etc. Pretty much all the important stuff except long-term maintenance. Loose coupl

That's one of the most useful tools I've seen in a long time. Especially being a non-native English speaker this is always a pain.

And there's more scientific research than ever and more in the US than anywhere else in the world. Please use reddit for mass emotion articles.

Personally, I find it silly to get paid in beverages if I could get paid in cash. Then again, when I was at Amazon I was in downtown Seattle with some of the greatest lunch bars in the world (read: Tats) and not on top of a suburban hill.

There are a few things the Internet is incredibly good at. Content delivery, communication and administrative services. If you're in any of these industries, don't expect your job to be around 10 years from now. It's time to evolve.

Seems like a good thing for social networks to be representative of society.

I don't see why you would want to change anything as a newcomer. There's no way you are going to understand the process well enough by then. First get to know the people, figure out how they think, how they work and how they communicate. Th

Just report, don't scoff experts. It makes you look stupid. Now what was the context? Ah, I see you were so busy trying to claim intellectual superiority (failed) that you forgot about that.

I think he refers to the "scientific" discipline of Software Engineering, which earns you no more lunches (probably fewer) than creating algorithms.

Not that bad. You probably don't have a mortgage, wife or children yet. You can usually still stay with your parents. You have enough freedom and enthousiasm to do a start-up. You can probably still secure an internship including a visa. If

Just another Linux distribution. If they want to do something useful, make me a command-line that supports images, links, etc and gives me an easy way to process XML.

Well, you're right in the sense that Newton was right about gravity. It works perfectly down here on earth, but breaks down out in the universe. In a distributed system you'll want to take into account caching, replication, atomicity, secur

Quite weird indeed, but I figure by ISPs he means hosting providers. Something like earning money to offer legal content through BitTorrent would be quite interesting.
