Doesn't it ever dawn on anyone that employers insist on detailed, accurate information about applicants, in standardized forms, while the information available about employers is a mess? There's no standard, there's no requir

Uh, no. There were once 15,000 ISPs! They were killed off when incumbents flexed their monopoly power. Instead of disrupting telecom, the new ISPs were forced into the old ways of state utility commissions. When the war was over, the incumb

GPL, and probably other licenses, were constructed to work with copyright law. Such cavalier dismissal (by rxrz) is disrespecting those who created the licenses, the legal system, and the open source community, at large. We live in the real

Sadly, any developer of a 99 cent app might be sued for patent infringement, with no efficient and cost-effective way to find out ahead of time. Software companies have had this issue as long as software has been patentable (according to US

Let the unintended consequences begin! I always found this change suspect; a frequent rationale was that the rest of the world does it this way.

I agree that glamorizing programming is not particularly helpful, except that coder-entrepreneurs can get more attention from venture capital. Glamorizing programming, along with the app-stores, is pushing the independent programming busine

and don't forget the fact that there is new competition coming on the market everyday that is probably paid a tenth as much as you are.

This is the sort of thing that happens when there are 3 or 4 gigantic ISPs instead of 15,000 local ones. Enjoy what the 1996 Telecom Deregulation Act has wrought.

Your real problem is that you think you own your computer (err, software delivery appliance). I actually think PCs have become like MTV. MTV was a way to get all the people who like music and video onto a channel, then deliver all kinds of

My big complaint is that I have to compete with so many people who seem not really much interested in, or knowledgeable about, programming, who can't wait to "advance" out of it, while I /love/ it and can't think of much else I want to do.
