He didn't steal the phone for any good reasons (ie to feed his family) he did it to be an ass. His largest crime though is going around calling himself a comedian when he clearly isn't one. Just do society a favour and castrate the ex-junkie.
How have they moved away? I've seen no signs of that and in fact they've finally bumped AppEngine up to 2.7. Not that I'd go back to it largely because the only way to contact Google for support is through their rubbish support forums which is still done in python btw.
Personally I would have expected a bigger conversion to Go within Google purely to promote it more.
And btw, I don't dislike using static typed languages. I just don't dismiss dynamic typed languages because both sorts of languages can easily produce solid code and idiots and produce shit in both.
He should have been completely honest because it's making it easier for companies to discredit whistle blowers as yet another liar. Apple haters and sit there with a hard-on and pretend his story is legit but he screwed up and it's not going to helps anyone.
We all know working for Foxconn is shit. We know that everyone uses Foxconn and doesn't care or that a lot of Chinese people would want to work there.
But the guy did exaggerate and lie and what pisses me off isn't that he's gone out of his way to make Apple look bad, it's that he's damaging the view people will have of whistle blowers. People will just assume now it's some anti-capitalist hippy or fame seeker making up the next story about poor factory conditions.
Feel free to prove me wrong. Thousands if not millions of people get by just fine with Python. Even PHP, which perhaps attracts more idiots than any other language and has loads of issues probably wouldn't be any better at all if it were strongly typed and there is nothing that stops you from validating your types and handling incorrect types in Python.
I'm no better than anyone that genuinely enjoys programming but yes, I am better than someone who doesn't really care about programming and is only in it for the money. It stands to reason that in any trade someone who cares about it will be better.
You're right and I don't have problems with those either. A lot of people do because both those languages attract newbs. But guess what, newbs fuck things up in strongly typed languages too.
As someone who's worked with Python for years both in personal projects and professionally, I've never had an issue with that. Maybe python attracts more intelligent programmers than the dime-a-dozen.Net / Java programmers being pumped out of university.
Yet ironically at the same time people also gave MS a pass on SOPA since they didn't openly support it even those both the BSA and ESA did which MS are in. So in my mind I'm not that fussed because clearly a lot of people don't realise MS in those groups.
You can't blame the economy for everything and if the economy is so bad then actually there is probably more value in getting the most for you money than just taking the cheapest. Paying $5 per hour and getting nothing of value is a bigger waste than paying $20 and getting exactly what you want.
In my mind this is a company that has made its business out of "borrowing" ideas from the likes of Nintendo and making cheap knock-offs to sell on facebook or mobiles.
If consoles go away where is this guy going to get his inspiration for his games? If I was in the business of making cheap throw away games with minimal profits and no real appreciation from customers I'd be busy trying to convince people my way was the future too.
You are paying for the phone so it's not really a subsidy. It just means is if you pay their same monthly free and have your own phone you're getting ripped off.
Double Dragon in the arcade wasn't too bad. I do agree the NES version seemed harder for some reason and I do agree Top Gun was definitely a rage inducing game.
I couldn't for the life of me get past level 3 or so on Battletoads but more or less strolled through Blaster Master. Maybe I had the right skills for that particular game but it wasn't that hard at all imo.
The problem is driving is not a right but they hand out driving licences like candy so actually there are a lot of people on the road that shouldn't be and they have no incentive to improve. The odds of them losing their licence is almost nil so long as they don't drive drunk.
Drivers can cry all they want about their rights but there are the rights of the people walking and cycling around them too. Driving is serious business and imo they need to stop handing out licences so easily and make it easier for irresponsible drivers to lose their licence and have to go through the whole process again after a certain time period.
After that then there isn't much need to make laws for specific issues. People who want to keep their license will think twice and those that don't are taken off the road.
I like Opera's speed dial or even the Speed dial plugin for Firefox. Unfortunately at work, they don't really support Opera so I can't use that as my primary browser. Firefox isn't a problem so I frequently use that and Chrome every day. Firefox is my productivity browser and chrome is more for testing and because I do slightly prefer their built in tools over firebug.
If the majority of your customers are still on IE6 then they are still minority. If you're in the west statistically IE6 users are less than 1% and it's only if you're working with Asians that rates rise up to 2% to 5%. My guess they're people who are poor or just too stupid to realise everyone wants to pull IE6 out from under them.
This isn't about using bleeding edge technology. This is about using standard technologies that every other browser handles just fine. IE6 isn't even that good with JavaScript and that's an old technology. I would refuse to work for a client that is insistant on using IE6. It says to me they're too tight and probably hate the idea of even paying me. They are dinosaurs and with the customers my recent employers have had to work with a lot of them typically had old machines and even then IE6 usage is minimal and almost non-existent.
While not every siste needs a bucket load of JS, web applications are a viable solution for some things but generally only when you use a real browser and not IE6.
Yes but surely you don't keep them open that long? Chrome is a pita with a lot of tabs open as it can be hard to see what's in each on and search is pretty good these days. For most things if you can't find what you want in relatively quickly you're probably not going to find it. I rarely go past page one on google because the quality does really drop after page 1 and it's largely content farms of the same content on page one.
Oh, I do agree, it's nice to leave things open because they are of higher importance but not something you want to read now. It is probably just me but I find it really annoying to have loads of tabs open especially in Chrome. The more I have open the harder it is to see what is in each one and it just feels like I'm losing efficiency.
Chrome's minimalist design, imo, often gets in the way ironically and then as well they do things like waste a huge chunk of space at the bottom showing items I downloaded. I wish it were more customisable. One thing in particular that would help me is being able to have more than 8 site buttons on my home page. I would like to dump things that I want to save for later on that page.

You could have always disabled personal results. It's not rocket science.
I agree and in my mind Google's results have been pretty rubbish for certain things mainly because content farms have SEO down to a fine art.

The guy admits to it. So unless you're going to check his bank account for a big pay off by Apple I suspect this new found truth probably is correct.
NPR has always been infinitely better at journalistic integrity than pretty much anyone else.

You can do that in Python and it won't have the braces. There is nothing saying you can put things on one line.

That's just as cryptic and useless to a new a new employee as if it were called mickey-mouse.
Generally the problems seems to be driving ability is store in the penis so those without one are very dangerous to the rest of us.
