    OMG, I just found my new naming convention. Thank you soooooo much! Brilliant, just freaking brilliant.

    I kept reading the comment, but my brain stalled out halfway through converting all the acronyms.

    Having been in ICU, and on life support, you got my thanks!

    ...now stop reading Slashdot, and pay attention to your code.=)

  4. Re:You should be good on What Skills Should Undergrads Have? · · Score: 1

    For the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, STOP.

    STOP learning new tech skills. You obviously have enough practical experience.

    Go get your PMP cert and specifically go into Project (and Program) Management.

    I was in the same boat as you; my skillbase is wide and moderately deep. I went into Project Management, got my cert, and now I manage App Development projects, IT infrastructure, application migrations, and everything in between. I use every skill I've learned over the last 12 years.

    My paycheck is *quite* nice.

  7. Re:Translated for the Lay on Mom Blasts Ballmer Over Kid's Vista Experience · · Score: 0, Troll

    Translation: We spent a lot of money packing it with bloat.
    ReTranslation: I'm a Linux user, so most application eye candy I see is done by a 15 year old using a paint program named after a character in a Quentin Tarantino film. I'm jealous.

    Translation: No matter how many versions we have, it's still one size fits all. The tension is generated because our developers don't lead normal lives and see things the way ordinary people do, which makes the end product obfuscated and confusing
    ReTranslation: Learning new things is hard. Change scares me. This is why 1) I like the command line, and 2) I'm a secret Republican.

    Translation: Stock value. If we didn't come out with a new version of Windows everyone had to buy every few years our stock value would drop. We have to keep addicts supplied.
    ReTranslation: Just don't ask me about the release cycle of Fedora, or any other active Linux distro.

    Translation: We rushed it to market. If we had waited until it was really ready we would have seen our stock drop. The premature release was purely driven by profit motives rather than care for our customers.
    ReTranslation: Linux doesn't have driver problems since very few people actually make drivers for us.

    Translation: Revenue generating cycle - Bleeding edge, counting the casualties.
    ReTranslation: Change is bad! Leave Brittany alone!

  11. Screamers anyone? on First Armed Robots on Patrol in Iraq · · Score: 2, Informative

    I can't believe that nobody has mentioned the movie Screamers!

    They got it right down to the name of the robots! You don't think SWORDS was original, did ya?

    Autonomous Mobile Swords?

    All they need is a high frequency speaker, and the MPAA would sue the hell outta the government for infringement!

  16. Re:A bit of perspective. on Activation Problems in iPhone Paradise · · Score: 0

    Actually, it's 300,000 - 500,000 sold between Friday and Sat, according to most estimates. JP Morgan is saying 300k, and PiperJaffray is saying 500k. So it's somewhere in the middle.

    So we are actually making a decision on which layer of the Abyss we want to go?

  19. Get rid of domain names on The Man Who Owns the Internet · · Score: 0

    Seriously, the more I read, the stronger I feel that the current domain name system is broken beyond repair.

    We need to find a way to get rid of the domain name system for web usage.

    Anyone have any ideas on that?

  21. Re:That's nothing, think of DRM on Most Digital Content Not Stable · · Score: 0

    Now I'm not saying that it's right or justified or anything, but European conquest into North America is always vilified much more than any other tale of conquest, and I'm not sure why.

    You obviously have never seen "Dances With Wolves" =P
