Ellison doesn't seem to know a lot these days (and this isn't just snark): his moves to purchase then effectively lose influence over various large aspects of the Sun assets (Jenkins, Open Office, MySQL), his vacillation on whether NoSQL is

I did the grind-train for several years, and in bursts it could be quite useful, but when at my last $FIRM it turned into a never-ending march towards and beyond burnt out, I started pondering options. I don't think I could do that kind of

While I audibly laughed at the idea that there is a "Meat Industry Hall of Fame" I am really finding it difficult to believe that there was somehow "innovation" here (I really think that word is overused, and in this case repulsively so). N

The MPAA has become very aware that it is in a position that could go quite south for them at any moment, so they are quite literally desperate to get any "data" to support their positions, up to and including re-contextualizing/redefining

Yahoo proves that desperation breeds rather desperate moves. And make no mistake, I think Yahoo has been remarkably resilient in that any number of the gaffes and missteps they have committed could have done them in any number of times (or

It's strange to see that now, inasmuch as years ago, when I worked at VA Linux Systems, the general attitude was of philosophical affinity with Open Source pragmatism. It wasn't dogmatic religion. I still think that's sensible and it alwa

I never used EB (I had a set of World Book Encyclopedias) but the thought is the same...it is a weird sense of finality that comes with knowing something you grew up with that was so oddly reliable is fading away due to technology that prov

When I was a teen and was moving rapidly between artistic movements (I still moonlight as an illustrator) I was generally not fascinated with too many comic artists per se (most of what I saw was "good enough" in the spandex-tight world of

Beyond the fact that this seems like "profit by VC injection" what does Yammer do that couldn't be more easily, more simply and more flexibly solved via Laconi.ca/Status.net?

I think we're still far, far from an endgame, and the MPAA and the like will be trying probably ever more under-the-table moves, as they are now quite aware of the number of eyes (and the capital behind some of those eyes) that are glaring

I actually think he probably grasps it well enough, but he doesn't like what it implies and ergo he goes down the track he does out of preferential hope that he can influence his way backwards. He is indeed against "the fundamental archite

Very few people actually dispute the crux of most of his arguments (at least those that have more than a surface awareness), but his dogmatism and often shrill OCD about slapping the GNU-prefix on things and poor social and personal hygiene

The surface will probably be quiet for a bit, while the internal political machine of the DPRK roils. There are certainly a lot of possibilities (both good or bad) that can happen depending on who actually takes over control. Even if the

Simmons has shown a remarkable endurance for public displays of hubris (sometimes successfully, at least in terms of his own aims). Maybe he will make an 'example' of the one fellow they arrested, but the possibility of less amateur reprisa

It's a compelling story and its well presented here. I'm a fan, as I've found Sugru works really well for extending the life of the Vibram shoes I use trail running (although it took some practice to apply it in a way that didn't leave me

From a financial perspective, Delaware is the often default-choice, but your best bet is having a good advisor/counsel to ultimately help work that out for yourself.

Users seem more comfortable with predictable maintenance than arbitrary outages. Weekend deploys are just bad all around. When I began in my current role (managing QA/DBAs and app deploys) one of the first things I killed was the late Frid
