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

I like a glass of cold wate on occasion.

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…

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 kno…

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…

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…

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 mos…

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 …

... and us nothing?

Anyone that doesn't eat their own dog food is probably a catastrophe waiting to happen.

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 resul…

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.

Be much more interesting if when an analyst guesses wrong, they get punished instead.

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