Is there a reason this isn't covered under warranty? Did you physically damage the machine?

Could you give us some examples of condescending remarks that have been made but which weren't intended to offend?

It really depends on the area of Canada you're in. My folks live in Southern Alberta and there's still a bit of xenophobic climate there. That being said, I didn't notice it when I went to school out east, or now that I live on the west c

If this prediction holds, Apple could add an awful lot of value to MobileMe by providing a sort of answering machine service to subscribers. I'm close to wireless for most of the day, but when I'm not it would be nice to have FaceTime calle

In this case, where you're typing the URL in a form, presumably as some sort of content management system, you're not telling your browser to go directly to the URL but rather saying 'I want to use this resource, it's at this URL'. Before i

We could really use a strong startup city in Canada, but when your shining example is an incubator whose only features seem to be interrupting people who are working, I don't know that it's the best example. That might impress the Globe an

He's asking for a notification of when his site is linked to, not anything to do with conversations. It sounds like a clumsy solution to a problem that trackbacks should already have solved.

The front page being saturated about a particular topic isn't anything new. The content has certainly changed as the community grows, but we've had trendy topics for years. A couple years ago I wrote a little ruby script to determine the

It might be hard work, but I'd much rather be out mowing the lawn than stuck in a cube.

Absolutely beautiful. A slight typo: I noticed Jamie Zawinski's name is spelled wrong in the table of contents.

Make sure you watch the next video in the series. It's about the gap between the ambition of what you want to make and the reality of what you're actually producing, and how the good taste that got you into creating will result in you feel

It's extremely difficult to estimate the amount of work a software project is going to take. If you're working with an experienced developer, and have a good specification of the software you're building, they will probably be able to give

He's selling downloadable software. He's got an item on there about plugins, which might be considered the desktop equivalent.

I'm an indie Mac developer (what Mac guys call Micro ISV's), so I scanned down this list and compared it to my checklist for a recent release. Out of the 124 items listed here, I'd say that ~105 of them are either essential or good ideas t

Reread the comment. The folks working outside their field are the ones without technical degrees. Incidentally, the ice cream parlour cashier has a psych degree (undergrad only).

I think what bothers me most when I read this sort of article is that it treats all college degrees as equivalent. They talk about average earnings potential and average unemployment rates, but they never break it down. If you get a B.Sc.

Rock climbing, hiking, fencing, longboarding. All of these require intense in-the-moment focus, but they aren't overly stressful. On the non-sports side: Clarinet, learning sax, going to shows, dancing, writing music, cooking, sitting in t

It's alright. I'm on what you might call my 'second startup' at 23, but the main reason why my first one wasn't successful was that I didn't give it enough time to grow up and become it's own thing. A startup is a serious commitment. At t

Whenever possible, I try to debate on the side that I /don't/ believe to be true. I find that debating 'my side' of the argument is harder since I take my points as self evident and don't back them up as well. Debating the other side means

I've debated at a few of the big university tournaments in Canada and the format was always British Parliamentary or Canadian Parliamentary. In either case, your team debates one side of a given resolution. In BP it gets really fun, as yo

"Disney and many other parks recognize that keeping it clean and refreshed, with all of those little details that you don't notice until they are missing, are important to the park's success." This is exactly how I feel about writing softwa

I'm just as glad that they didn't. There's a rule of thumb among Mac developers that you need to charge at least $20 to be able to make a decent living off your indie software. Given that we can write more desktop-scale apps on the iPad,

It's a reference to intuitionism, a constructivist approach to math and logic. Because the law of the excluded middle is disallowed in intuitionist proofs, you can't show what the parent comment was annoyed about.

Just claim to be an intuitionist. Depending on your profs sense of humour, it's a valid answer.

I can't help wondering if all the regular app reviewers have been pulled to help with iPhone and iPad app reviews. The Apple Downloads section hasn't been updated in weeks, and now this. As a Mac developer, this feels like a major blow. S
