I'm tired of women wanting men to quit acting like men. If she doesn't like it, is she a woman acting like a woman? I don't want her to behave that way so maybe she should change HER behavior. Get along with others. Nobody's calling her nam

When I look at "Wanted" posters, some of those guys have the same first name as me. Can I sue? You can find a scum lawyer anywhere in the world, can't you? I assume he has proof all his charges are true.

I knew this would be downvoted by the predominantly Windows users here but, if they knew anything about *nix, they wouldn't do that.

And no self-respecting developer would ever use Mono on nix anyway because the nix tools run circles around anything .NET/Mono.

12-year old girls don't sue anyone. It's the parents doing this. Period.

I sometimes got to sit next to Jim Clark during lunch when I worked at Silicon Graphics. He's just walk into the cafeteria and sit anywhere and sometimes it was with us systems engineers. Interesting to listen to the chit-chat.

Many of us ham radio operators can hear morse at pretty high speeds but I remember being on a bus with a friend who was well known for being the best of the best. He was staring at an ad for the longest time before I interrupted him to ask

Same here but not as much. I do all my work that way in FreeBSD but with another FreeBSD box sitting next to it running X for any graphical stuff I need to look at.

I heard the best term for these Anonymous crackers by someone interviewed on NPR today. "Lynch mobs". Very apt. He was describing them as people who go out to lynch those they don't agree with.

You NEED those things in VS in order to keep track of the 20K+ objects, code, libraries, etc. to code for Windows and .NET. You don't need all that in Unix.

You think a "maximize the buck" move by Google would be to start rooting around in your personal drawers?

Just the opposite. I find all that distracting. My hands never leave the keyboard. The mouse is a nuisance. I'm far more productive without all the GUI crap.

You can do that on Google+ too but with the privacy of not letting certain "circles" know things you don't want them to know or it's irrelevant.

You still can. My company, for instance, has but two investors holding all company stock. My wife and me. If we wished, we could sell a portion of our company to others even though it is not publicly traded. Privately held companies like ou

A lot of people here are running away from what Wheaton is actually saying and this is all he's saying: "Hollywood’s refusal to adapt to changing times is what’s costing the studios money. That’s it."

Reading through that, it shows the writer has no clue how entertainment is created. It looks like he feels it can be manufactured by anyone with a slight interest in the subject. I doubt anyone here, save @Keyframe, has ever been on a set t

There's a reason why there are hundreds of out of work writers. Good scripts are hard to write, as is good music. If you think a million monkeys can do better, think again.

As you know, though, the cost of film and development is hardly worth talking about, particularly in big budget motion pictures. Shooting video, nowadays, is a convenience mostly. The cameras are far more expensive, as is the support equipm
