There are some seriously fucked up selfish capitalist bastards on this site who believe they are entitled to screw anyone for anything. It's disgusting.
But when you make the most profitable way the preferred way, you shift the power from the people to a controlling party, at which point, the price goes up to suit the "investors". It's an unfortunate part of human…
All the Facebook engineers on here sound like I imagine IBM executives do when asked about the involvement of IBM in the holocaust... I'm genuinely surprised that the EU haven't stepped on Facebook yet. It's the…
It's not a "product". It's a survival essential. Everyone should be entitled to clean water, not at a price.
This is such a bad idea. a) $3 per month for a family in India is quite expensive. b) It adds artificial scarcity and dependency on the "water dealers". Sounds like Rango to me.

Hell yes you are spot on right there. I've got into a habit of defining pre and post-call checks on just about everything. It's knocked down my regression and defect rate quite considerably. Assumptions are dangerous -…
The worst thing I find is when you get a part in it which is designed to work with several different products and it has extra holes drilled in it. Rather than specialising the CAM / drilling process, they throw some…
I worked at a QA-heavy financial organisation. The only reason they needed QA is the software was a giant toilet-clogging turd. There were no formal unit or integration test cases so it was used to catch regressions…
I think they should bring back the "old" Nano. A lot of people haven't bought the new one as they still like tactile controls and want a screen large enough to watch a video. They also don't want an iPhone or to pay for…
Ha I like that :)
I did exactly the same, except to get a contract outfit off the ground. I paid off about $60k in total (in GBP) over 10 years. I worked out that in total I made about 20% more than salaried people over the time. It…
The irony of this is that I have just cancelled my Spotify account because tracks I have on my playlists have disappeared due to I assume various problems with record labels. It's utterly annoying when you sit down in…
There are a some references here which will help identify the problem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Invented_Here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis…
I won't go further than to say that when semantics are change by politics, we all lose. Legitimising murder in the name of war and justice is a slippery slope. "An-eye-for-an-eye-for-an-eye-for-an-eye ... ends in making…
This is the typical result of "enterprise" applications which are more interested in decoupling the logging system from the framework versus picking one that works. Over-abstraction at work. There is a "commons logging"…
All executions are murders as are war casualties. The definition of murder was "manipulated" around the time of the second world war to include the world "unlawful". Find an old dictionary (circa 1930) and look up the…
Good for employees but when a contractor, you're lucky not to have to sue them :(
That's going to be awkward on the toilet.
Like I suspected, this entire thread has been turned by zealots into a Microsoft-bashing exercise. I genuinely dispair for people who spend their entire time platform bashing and don't add something constructive to the…
I had one of those FW900's. Unfortunately the other half got fed up with me lugging immense bits of kit around so I reluctantly gave up. Now I've got a standard 23" 1080p TFT :(
You mean like this: http://www.maximumpc.com/files/u94712/corequu_0.png No.
You will get nothing at all. You can just about survive in London on that.
That's pretty standard for postgrad salaries in the UK in the public sector. The various agencies aren't high payers. You will get pretty much no help from anyone including social or subsidised housing so you'll be…
I've n ever worked anywhere that doesn't use Windows as a server OS.
