Why can we not figure out how to shut down the computers participating in a botnet? It seems like a technology problem.

The number of law school graduates has always exceeded the number of computer science graduates (yes a comparison of a graduate degree to an undergraduate but CS majors rarely need another degree).

If it takes someone more than an hour to determine a programmer's basic worth, then they should fold up shop. The extra 4 hours is a waste of both side's time. You won't really know how good the person is until they are working for weeks or

I predict people who work for HP are likely to leave. No software required.

I've said all of this many times on my blog as well. Sadly the only people who read my blog and live on this site are the hirees. The hirers never visit and remain ignorant.

Fascinating despite being way over my head. Amazing to see math of such complexity done without a computer - we're so spoiled today.

I'm beginning to get real respect for Mr Pietz.

I don't believe a court has ordered this, it's just Prenda Law's threat. Thus has zero meaning, other than more Prenda hilarity.

I would argue that a 1.1 percent rise is also insignificant. Smoking is involved in 80% of lung cancer deaths, a far easier statistic to believe.

Groupon was always a ponzi like scheme. Once they ran out of suckers (err businesses) their income dropped like a rock. Everyone I know uses Groupons but challenge them on actually visiting the Grouponee again and you hear crickets.

Seriously funny rant. I don't use Rails since I do mobile stuff now but I once wrote a rant about PHP and wound up liking it later. But PHP is trivial to get into and Ruby/Rails is not.

Looks like a great way to reduce headcount without saying the dreaded layoff word.

Is there anything you can't build with javascript?

It's no different in the iphone/android app businesses. There are many companies that promise to push you up to #1. We tested one and it worked for 3 days, but it's useless for most apps. They pay or give freebies to people in Asian or Afri

At every job when I started no one knew me yet and I didn't push for change. I focus on simply doing the best I can do and after you deliver high quality software (or whatever you are doing) and push out small ideas the actually improve thi

My blog gets plenty of readers but I refuse to make any money off of it. Maybe I'm out of touch with that reality.

The argument not being made here is this: why should you be able to patent DNA sequences? Sure Monsanto is patenting the method to create the sequences, but enforcing the end result of the method (seeds) doesn't make any sense as a patent.

Sigh, I wish I could make a Facebook with just the keep in touch with friends feature, and nothing else. Facebook itself it turning into a 70's horror movie, The Blob.

At least Apple helped in their version of this. Google ignoring their own technology and customers is the epitome of Be Evil.

The problem with HT is that it can't do enough volume to actually build a profitable business. It's primary customer is someone bigger to buy them out.

Verizon outsources much of its programming to India anyway, this way they got more diversification. Dumbest place I ever interviewed at.

I get so tired of articles confusing running Java on a server and running Java on a web browser via a plugin. The latter is dangerous the former is not. But this is rarely made clear when people write about it.

Anyone can try to get money for links. The internet alternative of course is to eliminate all of their readership from anyone other than the local pub.

I stopped reading after a few paragraphs; it's not necessary to write crappy english to get your point across. Most restaurant owners have neither the resources or knowledge to run as some kind of food startup. This author seems to think th
