Loyalty always matters, as it's an indication of how you value relationships over money and personal convenience.
Ask the company making the offer whether they'd be willing to postpone hiring you for a month or so. If that's too long, see if you can start in two weeks but on a part-time basis for two weeks.
Also, explain to your current employer what the situation is, and see if you can come to some sort of agreement on how much longer you can stay on without compromising your next career steps.
At this rate, according to Moore's Law, by the year 2037 Firefox will have a memory footprint of only 128K. Unfortunately, half of that will be taken up by the version number.
"Nice network you got there. Sure would be a shame if somebody from the outside started routing lots of traffic through it, thereby degrading latency."
Your purchasing habits have never been known exclusively to the CC issuer. They have always been available to the authorities and to hackers.
P.S.: Girls Gone Wild XVI? Really?
And yet, the ongoing real world persistence of privately reported array out-of-bounds errors in critical security-dependent code continues to show that apparently, even the best programmers objectively can't write secure code even if their professional reputations depended on it.
If they persistently write such buggy code then I wouldn't consider them the "best" programmers. And that's not even consider that we're talking about Microsoft to begin with.
That's the thing: there is plenty of call for good programmers, but precious few programmers are any good. Sure, there are lots of programmers, but not all of them are knowledgeable, reliable or adaptable--all traits you need to be a good programmer.
C++ is a superset of C so if you know C++, you already know C. Going from C (procedure oriented) to C++ (object oriented) is way harder than vice-versa.

Johns, actually, since we pay the gov't (via taxes) for what they do to us, both good and bad.
It needs to update its JVM.

Sometimes a "good enough" solution is better than a "perfect" theory.

You can install a rice cooker in a PC? I'm guessing the Rice Krispies plug into the cereal port.
I wonder how it would work with...gasoline.
The bartender looks at the neutrino's drivers license and says, "Is this a fake ID? You don't resemble the photon."
Much simpler example: Marion Barry's real name is Marion Barry.
...maliciously generates rouge certificates...use the root cert to create rouge certs for MITM attacks....
I didn't realize Sarah Palin was capable of creating certificates.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
When has Windows ever been user-friendly?
Its already f**ked :)

If I spend all day playing Duke Nukem, is it okay to go commando?

People are planning to have their Windows 8 launch parties on that day.
How long until holes are found in the VM that let these apps break out of the VM sandbox?

Yo Dawg, I heard you liked botnets so I but a proxy on your botnet so you can attack other botnets.

What, only acronyms need to be explained? How about terms like "app"?
I think I saw that movie. The Matrix, right?
