Yea, some colleagues of mine thought that installing a fresh OS on their laptop would "break" it. The software engineering workforce has its range of very good and very bad employees.

Thats great, now if they added some of the other lisp features (macros, etc.) I'd consider using python.

Not really. Apparently you ate not aware that paid apps are not available in Poland. Kind of hard to make a great product when you cab only make money off ads.

Seems like all my previous addons that were used to improve firefox UI have been incorporated into 4.0. Very glad that Vimperator works, the main reason I use firefox. I wouldn't have upgraded if it did not.

Even if a judge is appointed, there could still be public outrage over the perception of low conviction rates. This would cause another judge to be appointed. The same thing goes on with cabinet positions of all levels of government where t

What is the 'mutable' keyword do Do people actually ask this. I can't understand if it should be, "What the the mutable keyboard 'do'". I'm not sure of any mutable keywords by the name of "do". Or did you mean "What does the 'mutable' keywo

The point is when people talking about breaking DRM, they aren't necessarily doing something illegal. There are a lot of legitimate reasons for breaking DRM that don't violate the law. It would be completely ridiculous for stack overflow to

I'm skeptical about the statement that you quoted. I don't really have the facts to back up my assertion, but I believe we will always have large companies. If the comment is meant to mean that if everyone had the entrepreneurial drive the

Pretty much all recent functional languages deal with oo programming by using multimethods and namespaces. This takes care of the problem you're talking about in a beyer way than most oo languages.

Wow. This is pretty funny considering how old the news is that this article is about.

Yea. This article could have been written about any web store without needing to change much of the content within it.

There are some real smart people that don't have business savvy or street smarts. Its easy to get locked into a big dumb corporation that doesn't recognize talent. You could spend a long time in a place like that and not realize your potent

This phenomenon isn't something only present in tech companies. I think the stat was, the congressional approval rating floats between 10-20% while the reelection rate floats around 80-90%. Humans have evolved to trust those fewer edges sep

Glad I didn't live in that future. As has been said by others, predictions of the future often tell you more about the society making the prediction than what will actually come to pass.

This article doesn't really tell you how to build a "Watson Jr." as they call it. It just tells you to use OpenNLP and UIMA (which is unnecessary, but understandable why its advocated since IBM created it). I was kind of hoping that there w

Yea, usually these meta torrent sites act kind of like a massage parlor. You pay for the massage and any negotiations between you and the masseur have nothing to do with the parlor. Hopefully some of these torrent sites can have a better UI

Don't think I ever had a decent burrito since I moved up here. I'm spoiled since I used to live in SoCal. I agree about the Vietnamese food and the sushi.

I don't really see the point of having a watch nowadays. I usually just look at my phone for the time. This watch seems to do some of the stuff a standard smartphone does, but is more limited. At this point in my life, I'm trying to do what

I never heard of this site until now. Its a great idea. I really wish I thought of this. Not only is it a fun project, but it has the potential to be used by a great many people. I wish the Greplin guys luck with this.

I agree. I keep hearing comments about Nokia being late to the game... blalballba ...if they decided to use android instead of WP7. I don't see how that is an issue. As has been stated by Nokia, this is going to take 1-2 years to make the s

I've been watching the blendtuts videos. My game only uses basic models since I want to support older generation handsets, so I'm not making use of any of the advanced blender features. But, it has been well worth the effort learning Blende

I've been using blender for models in the android game I'm making. Don't see a reason to spend $ 40 when there is a fantastic open source alternative. Kind of like buying windows server instead off just using linux.

I'm hoping they make one that eats humans. That would be a fine piece of furniture to put on my mantle. I wonder if you were to breed organisms, would they be able to produce a plentiful amount of energy for our electrical grids. I'm not ne

I never really had a problem with the universal back button. The app development on Android is very similar to web development. I'm used to using the back button often on my browser, it seems only natural to do it on my phone as well.

Surprised this didn't get ranked higher. This is kind of big news, especially since there are more android handsets than iphones nowadays.

Companies that put up facebook pages are just doing it because its easy and there is no cost associated with it. Nobody is depending on it and nobody will care much about it when the next big platform comes along.

That seems to be the main problems with these metrics. They aren't looking at the popular libraries that make use of the language. If I search "Android OpenGL development" it should count as a query directed at Java. This survey doesn't see

This kind of reminds me of the Fear - Love spectrum in Donnie Darko. I don't want to be a charlatan, martyr, or hustler. The world really isn't that simple. And if you want to know where you can put your spectrum, see the movie and find out
