Unfortunately (and unintuitively), a person's intelligence doesn't directly translate to the type of driver they are. That's a perfect example. Shame.

I've actually done this on my way to/from work, and it makes a legitimate improvement in my commute.

Yeah, because StackOverflow.com is a shining example of Jeff's ineptitude. Jeff declares bold, out-there statements probably more than his fair share, but he's sparking beneficial conversations that get people talking (even if it's about ho

I suppose somebody has to say it: No, I don't actively contribute to open source projects. No time, really.

Then it sounds like Apple should review some of their own apps, like text messaging.

I knew if I read this article, my blood would boil like it does with every other App Store article that's been coming out lately. Yet I read it anyway, and I can only ask: How long will Apple get away with this?

"Don was responsible for the LM P60's (Lunar Descent), while I was responsible for the LM P40's (which were) all other LM powered flight". Two men were able to write all that code and understand its operation. Is this probably why we don'

Interesting. I didn't expect Netflix to have a "fun" atmosphere like Zappos or anything, but it's funny to hear about a trendy web company with little, if any, character. I wonder why the employees are required to wear the red Netflix t-shi

BUT... they're getting press. Have you heard of them before today? Doubt it. Now you do.

I bought a Kindle for my technologically-inept mom, and she loves it. Things like the font, screen color, etc. don't bother her, because she focuses on the bigger picture: thousands of books on a portable device that's supported by the worl

Yeah, I can see how you're spinning it to be a positive thing, but when you hear how these guys are getting frustrated, I don't think this is quite what they want to hear.

This really bothers me. It's like the U.S. is a football team, and we train one of these immigrants; we make them hit the gym, show them the ropes, teach them the intracacies of the game, let them know some good techniques, then say, "Now g

The irony of you saying "almost everything I ever inherited was crap in one way or another" is that somebody probably said the exact same thing about your code. I bet you write amazing code, but when given a choice, programmers would rath

I think the purpose the author shared this technique for is when you need to constantly comment/uncomment a block of code for testing. I agree with you, though. Once you're done with your experiment, reset the commented lines to something m

Not sure how I feel about the "He was wrong before, so he must be wrong again," strategy. Ballmer's probably learned a thing or two in the past few years, and history isn't always the best measure of future accuracy.

Yes. I think by the second season they get A computer.

I remember when I first saw an episode of The Wire where they were using typewriters. The computer has become so synonymous with the workplace that I thought their office looked really, really barren without one.

I'm afraid of not having enough money in my savings account should I need to use it. I'm a college student with a part time job, and I have some money in savings, but if my car's transmission went out, I'm hosed. I have no idea how I would

Am I the only going, "duh?" It was only a matter of time. I can things of a few reasons why web ads are more expensive: 1. People actually watch the web ads. They're only 15-30 seconds, so you don't have time to get up, use the bathroom, gr

The wording in the patent is somewhat stiff and ambiguous. Could someone explain in a different way exactly how these shoes work?
