Skydiver with 3 GoPros in the family. I started with the 1, got my wife a 2, and then I upgraded to a 3. The V1 is still alive and kicking, but the image quality was so much better on the 3 that I felt like I had to upgrade. Also, we see

First off, I would say that is some pretty awesome work by this guy to chase this down. Including his work with the manufacturer to help them reliably recreate the issue. Second, I would say that over the course of my 10 year career in man

Languages are tools. Good carpenters use the right tool for the right job. Can you use sand paper to sand a door down to fit the space? Sure...but there is a reason the plane was invented.

If they don't like Zynga re-implementing their idea, they should keep adding features and innovating so their game is better. You can't be against the patent game the big guys play but for protection against this kind of behavior. edit to a

A large part of my family is going to have no idea what is going on or why large parts of the web are dark. I imagine that will be true for many here. It would be a good idea to have a form letter we can send to family and friends today th

At the time I didn't realize how rare this was, but the company was sold for cash, all options were accelerated to vest at close and people were payed with a check. There was a 50/50 chance we could have grown the company to be very cashflo

"This won't hurt you, but it will protect you. I can't really explain to you why, but you should trust me." I have never gone through one, and I don't intend to ever go through one. If I do it will be against my will.

Agreed. I lurk...a lot. I rarely open my mouth. There was a short period where I looked to snipe with some witty comment, but I quickly out grew that. I've made one post and I am rarely finding things pertinent to the tribe that haven't a

I'll take planes I don't want to get in for 1000 Alex! Seriously, think of software projects that took years longer than predicted and went way over budget. What kind of product was finally delivered? I don't want to be a seller of fear (

Maybe these two things are related, but having just given my notice at a big corporate software company my experience is a bit different; It wasn't the bureaucracy that drove me away it was the mediocrity. Day by day, I saw us doing things

Over the last two years I've gone from 220 to 190. The only change I've made was to start riding my bike to work. Granted, I am fortunate enough to live somewhere that makes that possible. Since making the change I now think that I won't

I've worked on a couple of antispam solutions that did something akin to a more intelligent grey listing. Think quality of service meets IP reputation. The problem with braindead simple things like postgrey is that they are incredibly easy

LISTEN! People love to bitch about what bothers them. If you know people that work at a big company, listen to them bitch about their problems. Get them honest...or drunk...or both. Then, figure out how to make those problems go away with
