Sure, they crash (or do something funny) a lot of time, but that's the problem with these ActiveX controls. If you buy anything from a Korean site you end up with an unknown number of plugins downloaded from everywhere, so how do we k

(Completely idiotic response ahead) Umm, really? Every day I see thousands of developers who would rather work in Google than Facebook... :) (Non snarky response) I dunno. I joined Google in 2008, and as far as I know Google was always li

As a Google Engineer, I can assure you that nobody who interviews you will give a damn about your code in github. Unless you're James Gosling or someone at that level. (But then again I don't think they interviewed James Gosling
