> Moodiness? I can give you human examples of this trait; but what specifically do you have in mind about God that portrays Him as such? This way I know we are communicating about the same thing. God throws a few temper tantrums in the O

It is when your name is identical to the co-Founder's name. It's link-baity by the fact that many people were baited into clicking that link under false pretenses. I'm not accusing this Wozniak of malice, however. I didn&#x27

I definitely clicked and read the entire article only because I thought it was written by Woz. I agree, it is link-baity and misleading. EDIT: Holy down votes. Don't know what to say. I thought it was Woz, sosume. All I did was agree w

Disclaimer: This is my personal belief, it seems it seems to offended some passionate dissenters. I understand, I've been there before too. God is often depicted as moody and chronically concerned with what we think of him. I think tha

If God exists, I doubt he cares if we beleive in him or not. I like to beleive he would not be that insecure.

This has happened to me during every OS X upgrade/reinstallation I can remember. The first time, I also assumed that it just wasn't working. I've since learned that the 99% is deceiving in terms of the expectations it might g

Yes, I've read it. It's not a very good book, in my opinion. The end of your second point fails to address the comment you responded to, I was addressing an entirely separate issue about how this community (and to a lesser degree,

Yes, and then there's that sweet spot you find when you're walking the fine line between being polite and being patronizing. That perfectly guised condescension with a rich aroma of political correctness that still delivers the in

Point taken. At risk of being further downmodded, I have to say that I don't consider myself to be very graceful. I'm not sure how much I can change that (I find fake personalities exhausting). However, the way you phrased your cr

History is bound to repeat itself... What you say almost makes me want to learn enterprise.

Am I the only weirdo who just uses multiple workspaces with ctrl-arrow and cmd-tab like a mad man? I genuinely enjoy it, especially with a second monitor. I, maybe, have one or two apps sharing a single workspace. Most apps are in full scre

Great response. I lol'd at the people from Vulcan bit. Your points about the change of perspective death offers are very true and insightful. I have nothing to add other than I really enjoyed reading this and felt compelled to comment.

We've come full circle to my original reply to you. If you are going to learn to touch type you are starting from zero with QWERTY anyways so using a new layout wouldn't add any additional time. > there are literally thousands

I think you misunderstood me. I never claimed anything like that. In fact I suggested most of the benefits of touch typing are not related to programming. That being said, you will never know the benefits of touch typing if you can't t

It's takes a trivial amount of time to set up these layouts on most machines. I agree that good typing skills do not necessarily make you a more productive programmer. But I do find that it is a skill that compliments other programming

If you're already a decent QWERTY typist I agree it is a waste of time to learn a new keyboard layout. But if you're hunt a peck QWERTY typist who decides to pick up touch typing, choosing an ergonomic layout like Dvorak or Colema

You seem to have missed the point. And I'll let you have the last word if want. I will say this though: There is no universal right to smoke. Smoking harms others and provides no benefit to anyone other than people who suffer nicotine

Thanks. I see what you're saying and I think you're right. The point you were originally making about causation vs correlation is more clear to me now. I guess I'm guilty of letting myself get too excited over what worked for
