  1. If you are worried on Reporting To Executives · · Score: 1

    If you are concerned about supporting the reasoning behind the
    existence of your job, it is time to depart.

  2. Alternative on Vermont City Almost Encased In a 1-Mile Dome · · Score: 1

    It would be much cheaper to just move everyone south.

  3. Re:Mirror it. on What Desktop Search Engine For a Shared Volume? · · Score: 1

    So you would rsync hundreds of gig to a local disk to index it? I think I would rethink that strategy.

  4. Definition of lust? on HTC Dragging Feet On GPL Source Release For "Hero" Phone · · Score: 1

    FTA: Going into the review, we desperately wanted to love this phone, but given the combination of a few poor hardware choices and an OS which outclasses the device it runs on, we can only recommend that you enter at your own risk.

    That sounds completely different then my definition of lust.

  5. Re:The only problem I have had lately on When Do You Fire a Headhunter? · · Score: 1

    Or they tell him to pack sand and move on to some other head hunter posting the same job. In addition if they are lucky
    enough to place someone accepting a low ball offer it is likely they are of low quality and will eventually harm the
    relationship with the client, looks like a win situation to me.

    I like the part about a bonus, have you ever seen a recruiting firm pay out a bonus? ba ha ha ha

  6. The only problem I have had lately on When Do You Fire a Headhunter? · · Score: 1

    The only real problem I have had lately is with low ball offers trying to get
    a bigger margin. You know darn well none of them are charging any less but
    using the market conditions to low ball contractors. In fact I had one
    today try to drop 5 bucks off a already agreed upon rate just to see
    if I would take the bait to increase his margin. That is about the quickest
    way to get on my ignore list.

  7. Grant? on Harvard's Robotic Bees Generate High-Tech Buzz · · Score: 1

    What a waste of money, if you want a swarm of mechanical bees place a bounty of 10 million on it and it will get done!

  8. The last place I worked on The Perils of Ramming Products Down IT's Throat · · Score: 1

    The department head would just pick the platform (after a few vendor sponsored boondoggles) and assign
    some middle manager to it. When the project failed as was usually the case at least 50% of the
    time they would just fire the middle manager and move on. It seemed to work rather well, great way
    to get rid of dead weight and cover the ass all in one fell swoop.

  9. Feingold on New "JUSTICE" Act Could Roll Back Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    Feingold if you ask me is the "only" legislator that honors the constitution he always has my vote.

  10. been around for over 6 mos on iPhone As a PC Game Controller · · Score: 1

    Old news there are plenty of apps in the store that have been doing this for close to a year now.

  11. Re:Never happen on iPhone Gets .Net App Development · · Score: 1

    Mono based apps have been running on the iphone for over 6 mos, in fact we are talking hundreds of them. Go have a look at Unity3d I have
    been building iphone games for months with it.

  12. Re:No it doesn't. on iPhone Gets .Net App Development · · Score: 1

    Chances are you already have installed one, nearly all the unity built games "zombiville" etc are built on it.

  13. Re:Shame : Article is FUD from MS-zealots :( on iPhone Gets .Net App Development · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Guys, if you need to make iPhone apps, you got to build it using ObjectiveC"

    Those games I have been programming and distributing using mono C# in Unity for the last 6 mos must be a figment of my imagination.

  14. Have been doing this for months. on iPhone Gets .Net App Development · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have been programming games in unity which uses mono for the iphone for over 6 mos now. Since it compiles to
    native code it runs blistering fast and is very stable. No there is not a problem with violating the apple sdk requirements
    as it is compiling to native code.

  15. we just put them on their own subnet on Drop in P2P Traffic Attributed To Traffic Shaping · · Score: 1

    We just put the p2p users on their own subnet wide open no shaping, then when they max their connections oh well. It keeps he rest of the customers
    happy and the p2p users can fight for their bandwidth. Best of all we don't have to worry about people trying to get around the shaping etc they get
    what they get.

  16. Re:Oh, for fckn, sake... on Highly-Paid Developers As ScrumMasters? · · Score: 1

    You are 100% correct, it is what I call the 90/10 rule. 90% of of the world talks shit and the other 10% can actually do shit. I don't care what shop
    you walk into there are one or two developers actually capable of writing good code and getting things done, the rest are just along for
    the ride.

  17. Builds Shit That Works methodology on Highly-Paid Developers As ScrumMasters? · · Score: 1

    I generally stick to the "Builds Shit That Works Methodology". Pretty much the same methodology that is used to
    develop the linux kernel.

    In reality what you find is one or two guys that actually build stuff and a half dozen cannot build shits running around claiming they know how (definition: Scrum Master).

  18. Too Slow! on Why the Google Android Phone Isn't Taking Off · · Score: 4, Informative

    Developer Friendly? Not, I spent some time a few months ago trying to port one of my games to the G1. The game requires some fairly heavy physics, it runs
    blistering fast on the the iphone. The G1 however just is not up to the task, face it the IPhone is just a much better performing device. When it comes
    to squeezing performance out of these tiny devices get java out of my way, I need to be able to program against the metal.

  19. The first thing I noticed on Nokia Leaks Phone With Full GNU/Linux Distribution · · Score: 1

    The first thing I noticed is how the UI is not consistent, every screen things are arranged differently.

  20. oxy acetylene torch on The Homemade Hard Disk Destroyer · · Score: 1

    That's what I use to destroy drives, awful hard to recover anything from a molten lump.

  21. Re:She's obviously a stalker on Woman With Police-Monitoring Blog Arrested · · Score: 1

    I think that depends on how loosely the stalking and or harassment laws are written that apply to this instance. We are talking about a entire group
    it may be hard or impossible to apply a stalking charge if it is a entire group of people vs a individual. In this case she is really doing noting different
    than the reporters following movie stars.

  22. Re:I Have A Different Explanation on C# and Java Weekday Languages, Python and Ruby For Weekends? · · Score: 1

    Great attempt, however you are forgetting about Sharp Develop, Mono etc.

    No I use python at home because it is both enjoyable and way more productive.

  23. No question about it. on C# and Java Weekday Languages, Python and Ruby For Weekends? · · Score: 1

    Java at work but when I get home it is all about something enjoyable to code with, python!

  24. And they would be absolutely correct on US Colleges Say Hiring US Students a Bad Deal · · Score: 1

    There is zero incentive to hire American in fact the current climate nearly dictates that only a fool would do so.

  25. Re:What hacker? on Defense Department Eyes Hacker Con For New Recruits · · Score: 1

    And having spent 10 years in the military I can tell you that you may wish to rethink that. 10 years ago I was on ship that had
    analog gear driven computers for the fire control system. It was a impressive piece of gear but high tech it was not.
