I'm fine with this. At least I can review their code and learn why they pursued a CS degree. My perspective is a programmer is inherently a programmer; they value logic, have a desire to learn, and want to know why something works the way it works. CS teaches you the concepts and fundamentals, it should not teach you a language or two. Case-in-point: I recently hired a college intern to work on a large-ish scale website project (PHP/JS based). My boss was floored that I would not hire someone who did not know how to setup a local dev environment, her thought was that "this comes after graduation." My response: Someone who wants a career in programming should already be programming before they graduate.
Still is called line lock, which I installed on my mustang cobra, and takes about 10 seconds of spinning to get the slicks hot and sticky. "Launch control" is the same as revving up the engine and engaging the clutch at the right RPM, which is about 3500 rpms for me. It took about a dozen passes at the local dragway before I broke the rear axle, and I'm sure this will happen on the new cars too. I'm sure mechanics will have fun with this.:)
Charging my car and my devices while driving down the road is extremely efficient. The cost of infrastructure required to support this gain in efficiency is another discussion.
Mozilla is like a small business with 1 huge client. The client leaves and there goes the business. Regardless of internal politics within Mozilla, Google owns Mozilla, plain and simple.
We can continue to try and clean up the gutters all over the world and spend all of our resources looking at just the dirty spots and trying to make them clean. Or we can lift our eyes up and look into the skies and move forward in an evolutionary way. -- Buzz Aldrin
The sealed complaint from the U.S. Attorney suggest that, "As of July 23, 2013, there were approximately 957,079 registered user accounts reflected on the server." This information comes from an image of the "Silk Road Web Server" made by the FBI on that date.
Interested to find out how they got the server image.
the sales guy oversold your capabilities. Instead of asking about cloud options, why don't you just pick a server host with a good reputation (Amazon and Rackspace come to mind) and pass the costs onto the client?
Temple University, Beasley School of Law, concentration in IP and Technology Law. Ranked #56 in nation, not bad for less than 20k/yr for in-state tuition, for which I qualify.
You are too old to go to law school. You will be working for someone who is younger than you... Focus on doing your job; it's what you have.
I'm very glad I've never listened to people like you, you sound old and bitter.
In the US, if it's less than $600 in profits, I'm sure nothing applies to you. Regarding NSA and Bitcoins, a year ago I would have modded you a troll...
I have two masters degrees (quant/stats and MBA), work in software development for 10+ years, and have been debating either getting a masters degree in CS or a law degree in IP in the next year or two. When I read this article, right this very instant, I realized it would be more profitable in the long run to get a law degree than to get a CS degree.
It's managers and executives who make the decisions, and to them whether it's a browser or mobile app or SaaS or whatever the latest trend is, who cares if you're reinventing the wheel as long as profits are up.

And technical incompetence.
This is the first lawsuit I've heard where investors are suing companies over NSA spying. I hope it's not the last.

I read all of your previous posts on your homepage. Are you a corporate shill? Of course you're not. You just happen to agree with them all.

And there are much easier ways to get over a mountain than climbing it.

They're not quite dead yet
Nothing a pair of programmers can fix.
Cash isn't that hard to track.

Are you suggesting that healthcare.gov is more secure than the federal sites that were shut down?

Obligatory XKCD
/. to reference the whole Time series as Obligatory XKCD.
I think I'm the first on
Um, I'll bite, it's on Github and licensed under AGPL.
This sounds like they have zero experience in application design, much less for mobile devices....
I read TFA and it sounds more like an MBA made the decision.
It's managers and executives who make the decisions, and to them whether it's a browser or mobile app or SaaS or whatever the latest trend is, who cares if you're reinventing the wheel as long as profits are up.
Would be interesting to know who's voting me off topic.
