Totally fair. Next time, this should be your comment instead of just non constructively pooping on someone else's project. This is discussion worthy, your original comment is just …

I feel like you're more concerned with making sure people understand where they sit on the totem pole than encouraging progress or exciting developers. While learning from history …

Yeah, your right, MongoHQ hasn't brought anything positive to web development and there's no way they're going to make a business supporting their db. It definitely needs to be put…

Firing would have been a deliberate attempt on EA's part to tarnish his career. Stepping down is the nice corporate way of saying "You're a great guy but things just aren't working…

That's what makes it a clusterfuck. If they had sold just 10 copies in would have been a loosely associated fuck.

I think you mean any attempt to say he got push out solely because of the SimCity fiasco... It's perfectly reasonable to wonder as to whether or not the SimCity launch had an effec…

No company is legally allowed to compete for business with the USPS. In order to deliver letters, other companies must by law be providing premium services that the USPS either doe…

Exactly, I've been 15 times for this very reason and still can't figure it out.

It seems nobody at esquire even bothered to read the wikipedia article on the USPS as they would have crossed the section titled Universal service obligation and monopoly status [1…

I'm probably in the minority here, but I've actually never used a single one of those services.

If you want to speak up, don't hesitate to contact LayerVault's support ( support@layervault.com ) and let them know, respectfully, how you feel. You can also tweet your opinions @…

You can't copyright a color pallet. You can't copyright an icon concept. Sending DMCA take-downs without full intent to prosecute and full conviction that your copyrights have been…

Don't give up! Ember has a steep learning curve but once you've got a bunch of it memorized development gets much easier.

This is one of those obvious to some, and eye opening to others things. I had always wondered why other countries keep their eggs unrefrigerated and we Americans have always been v…

The Pirate Bay is not concerned with your judgment. The Pirate Bay is concerned with making socio-political statements and providing access to their site, seemingly in that order. …

Better that it happened 2 months after backups were canceled than 6 months or later. If you're going to cancel your backups you're begging for disaster.

Reporting Revenue is a hugely political affair. There are many ways to manipulate that number and it's not really a direct measurement of the health of the industry. It's only real…

You did them more good than harm. 1) Not having backups is an excuse-less monumental fuckup. 2) Giving anyone delete access to your production db, especially a junior dev through a…

You rebase to clean up your own, non-shared, local commit history. That is it. As soon as your commits are shared you can no longer rebase them or feel the wrath. If you don't care…

minus the social spam... for now while we try to gain users. If they were serious about it, they'd put it in a non-changeable clause in their TOS. Otherwise it's just marketing flu…

To me, the main effect here is that you have an excuse to stop thinking about the other options. There has been a ceremonial decision making process, and because of it your mind ca…

The use of Lorem Ipsum is to have a place holder for your typography. With this you're replacing your typography with unrelated glyphs. This is going to make your mock-ups less rel…

Why is this sad? Because Walmart is the most cited location? Seems great to me. People are reaching out. Would be more depressing if they just decided to not do anything about it. …

All Apple hardware is lavished with extreme attention. People still gravitate to pretty physical things and users mostly want the software to just get out of their way. Hardware is…
