  1. A recommendation on How Do You Find Programming Superstars? · · Score: 1

    Don't. If you're looking for people that you're going to be calling superstars. You're going to get just that, ego and all. Although they may be the best programmers on the face of the earth, generally they won't live up to the reputation they've built for themselves. They won't do it any other way than their way, for better or worse. While I'm not trying to advice you against hiring competent experienced programmers, in my experience "superstar" tends to bring out the worst. Best of luck.

  2. Re:To all those complaining about Ron Paul on Best Presidential Candidate, Republicans · · Score: 1

    I can't help but feel he has some motive that he is hiding, something he is waiting to spring up on us.

    I can understand that. It's taking me a while to believe there might be a politician that isn't lying to us.

  3. Burn Baby Burn on Microsoft Bids $44.6 Billion For Yahoo · · Score: 1

    I hope this goes through as it will just bleed M$ of it's cash reserves. This happens and we rid ourselves of two old dinosaur companies. With analysts saying that Y! is worth more broken up, and M$ taking a beating in it's various markets, what could be the possible outcome?

    1. Buy Y!
    2. ???
    3. Profit.

    Probably not.

  4. I agree on Followup On Java As "Damaging" To Students · · Score: 1

    I think that all these schools that are teaching only Java to computer science students are going to end up cranking out a large number of application programmers. Not that it's a bad thing, but most won't have a thorough understanding underlying principles. I think it's good to teach Java it's an interesting language, but I thoroughly believe that needs to be sured up with a heavy understanding of how the underlying system works, and how lower level languages work. The most immediate thing that comes to mind is the memory management of C, while it's tough and a pain, it give you in depth knowledge about how the computers memory works. A very important principle in my opinion.

  5. It's about time on How Apple Rumors Became Reality · · Score: 1

    Apple has probably realized the viral information and speculation whips everyone into a frenzy about it's up coming products. Good free publicity for them, they probably only go after people if the information is wildly off base, incorrect or slanderous. Quick someone statistically analyze past speculation along with expo announcement.

  6. I just know on NASA Wants Fast Moonbuggies and Solid Lunar Lander · · Score: 1

    The lander should be a Bob's big boy.

  7. The difference between Google and Microsoft on Microsoft to Spy on Employees · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Google employees build things like gmail and calendar during the 20% time, MS employee decide to build an employee monitoring system. Talk about having to eat your own dog food. These employees are like the kid that always reminded your teacher on Friday to assign homework.

  8. Tis a shame on EU Regulators Open New Microsoft Investigations · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wonder if it's Microsoft being a clear example of a company that got ahead and then rested on it's lead or is it cases like this that are bringing it down? Now that they're losing their lead it's hard for them to change because it's so ingrained in their corporate culture that they're ahead. Granted they do put out some new and interesting technology, they are getting smoked in a number of areas.
