What the hell relevance does this have? There were hundreds of developers at Siebel. There were hundreds of developers at Peoplesoft. There are hundreds of developers at Sungard. There are hundreds of developers at Oracle. There are

Yeah because the people outsourced from IBM Consulting or Tata to roll out your entreprise software deployments are so much better than terrible games programmers like Tim Sweeney or David Braben </sarcasm>

You were shooting down the article by disparaging web and app developers, claiming that entreprise apps were ooh so haaaaard, implying that they required lots of expertise to build. Bullshit. In actual fact, entreprise software can be littl

Take a look at Eve Online, and then take a look at Siebel Systems, and then try and tell me MMOs are simpler than entreprise software...

"most SAAS projects" are not the ones setting the bar. The video games people set the bar. And they are shit-hot. And they produce stuff that even a 4 year old can use. And the problems the video game people solve are more complex than

Look, I have actually studied p2p. I'm sure you have not . I doubt, for example, that you could quote off-the-top-of-your-head the research papers relevant to p2p. If you had done your homework, you'd realize that p2p has been around s

No, I'm accusing the whole damn company of being the rogue innovator. Personally I find Office impossible because the UI keeps "revving" so I can never find the features I want and which I was using happily 10 years ago. On another note, I

How many? I don't know, but I do know that Grandma wants to send the photos from last night's birthday party to Aunt Tillie back in the old country. And neither is on bittorrent. I think the mistake you are making is that you think "most

Let's say you want to send a multimedia collection from your co-lo to someone in a different continent, via a relay. You might be able to relay it via (someone like) me, because I get megabits per second download, but I get much less upload

The bandwidth in the centre of the network is way higher than the bandwidth in the access network, because to increase the bandwidth in the access network you have to do very expensive stuff like digging up the road to lay optical fibres. R

What's the point of revving office So you people at Microsoft can sell the same software to the same customer multiple times. And if it takes "innovation", by golly "innovation" will happen - even if it means putting in then taking out th

Cleverness should remain rewarded even if you must close the hole to preserve the good of the game. Wall Street thinking. How about instead of rewarding cleverness, rewarding one's contribution to the good of the , er, "game"?

You're not handing them money jackass, you're loaning it to them, and you're being very well paid for it - ROI waaay above market rate, if you realize that market rate means the junk bond rate. "Handing" it to them would be if you didn'

How fucking stupid is that? "Because the other guy interested in the same field watches Star Wars, I'm going to change career!" Whether you like a field is supposed to be based on whether you like the field, not how cool you find the other

And that's bollocks, because social structures - including all the "Kinder, Küche, Kirche" stuff - evolved to keep the selfish gene on top. They had the same sort of social structures in the middle ages, but if you were one of Queen Brunh

Star Wars is not really, really stupid - that end of the spectrum belongs to James Bond.

No, they are not "acting out misogynistic discourses", they are being horrible people. And let's be clear that it is no fault at all of men. By the way, "sexual policing" comes from sexual competition and evolutionary psychology, which com

This is very stupid. The guy who goes to deliberately kill a bunch of people by bombing is probably very much not a sociopath, because a sociopath is someone who sees other people as expendable . That matches the psychology of someone who

Do you actually believe this crap as stated, or were you going to go back and add "and Judaism and Christianity" to that "Islam is a terror religion" stuff you were spewing? It's the Old Testament that's the terror religion, whether as pr

Well it's very amusing if you do that to a superlative, it might be better to just go with the cliche. I sought a synonym for unparalleled for you here: http://thesaurus.com/browse/unparalleled But these seem to be even worse. Sorry, I tr

If your startup aims to terraform Mars I'll be passionate about it. If it's a location based social advertising network, meh not so much.

So what? Employer's problems like that shouldn't matter to the employees. As your employee, my duty is to care what's in it for me (more precisely, my family that I have to feed), not what's in it for you.

There was a lady from China I knew who was working in a company in Silicon Valley. She probably has a Green Card or Citizenship by now, but if I recall correctly she was on an H1 visa at the time. If she lost her job for any reason, she wou
