Hey Skype,thanks for letting me know. Actually, you came pre-installed on my Droid. Wish you had given me the chance to decide if I wanted you or not. Seems like I can't even uninstall ya, either. So looks like we've taken part in a sho

Couldn't agree more with the first statement but add to that unmaintainable mess and spaghetti code Rock Star = praised, promoted, highly visible, and in management's view infallible.

My other half experienced something similar, though, not completely sure it was malice. Her experimental results she had gathered for 6 months were kept on ice while she performed the necessary steps for the next stage. Another grad stude

So when you talk about the ideas posted to these sites are they the type of ideas that would fall under trading or are they more of the idea that would fall under core concepts for a fund? Like anyone who hangs around HN I've got ideas for

What interesting little tid-bits you've dropped in this comment. I wonder, could you follow up with a more full-fledged article? I don't see your blog linked to your account on here but I'd love to read something like this.

This, unfortunately, is a losing war. With no mechanism in place for the "winning" side to stop the "losing" side from trying again, often with the same arguments but different ears, eventually the "loser" will turn into the "winner." Mor

I can't believe www.dead-link.com is being squatted. Who in their right minds wants to name their product or have their product be associated with dead link?

This is a reply to your comment pointing out that you missed one tiny fact and disagreeing with your comment on the basis of that fact, regardless of your arguments merits.

I love government contracting. First we pick a schedule, then we pick a technology, then we decide who gets the contract and who will supervise the execution of said contract. The best part? When something gets delivered, no matter how s

The great part about the JVM is that you can chose the language which fits the problem. If something needs the fine-grain control of Java, use Java. If another part would benefit greatly from the concise and expressive Scala idioms, use S

Nope, I don't think it's unfair that the people who earn more pay more. In fact, I'm for it. However, what I'm against is even a small group not paying for it. This "small" group right now is nearly half of the population. The argument f

Older people are worried they'll be pushed aside for younger, cheaper people with better computer skills. Younger people worry with little experience they'll be pushed aside for older, more knowledgeable people. It's interesting reading b

You do realize that 48% of all Americans pay $0 dollars in Federal Income tax. The top 10% pay 40% of the pie. I'm for the tax cuts expiring but I do also agree with the whole "equality" argument. I'm of the generation where I'll probabl

When I read your name the first time I read "locality" and then I realized it was something different. You might run into yet another human centric reason for not liking your name.

Unfortunately they didn't setup a control case to test if it was actually returning them to their 1970s lives or if it were forcing them to live in a "more challenging" environment. There's no way for them, as researchers, to disambiguate

They've actually said as much. They understand that their process generates false negatives but they don't want any "crud."

I doubt it was the developers who are responsible for the merging who came up with an 18 month estimate. Invariably it's not going to happen on time or if the 18 month milestone is hit, it'll stay alpha for quite some time. JDK7 + merging

So does this mean they'll actually follow their own review guidelines or is it going to mean you can read them but @#$%!, you're still at the whim of whomever gets your app?

Yes, the author did generalize. However, all the criticisms that I read about their generation are exactly that, generalizations. And the articles from both sides are always self-serving. The unemployment rate for under 25s is stageringly

My Web of Trust Firefox add-on declares this site to be on the lowest of low ratings and recommends I don't visit it. Quite funny, guess he's disagreed with some pro-active people.
