  1. Re:You can opt out, and you do agree to it on Your Face Will Soon Be In Facebook Ads · · Score: 1

    True. But my own terms and conditions state that I don't recognize #10 and Facebook accepted those terms when I clicked accept. Sorry that's my policy.

  2. Wait until it's in 3D on State of the Union Address Goes Web 2.0 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wait until it's in 3D, which they are working on using the same technology Cameron used for Avatar. You'll be able to see how you're being fucked in 3D. Imagine that!

    Better yet, why care about anyone's opinion that isn't in the following group: me, my penis.

    Snipped and sent to my e-marketing friend. Thank you, that was like a grenade.

    You put your own picture up as your avatar?

    What a fucking noob thing to do. Slap the shit out of yourself!

    Okay let me help. Log out of your profile. Now go make another one under the name Turd Ferguson. Post stupid picture as your avatar. Friend your real friends. Now you can relax because you're no longer a damn fool.

    And don't blame me either, I hate democracy. Overrated big time. Give me a leader with a salad bar of medals and 10 stars on his shoulders. El Presidente knows what's best for me. Might as well IMHO, this charade is becoming one big fucking joke.

    Why not pre-screen them at home and then freeze them into cryo-storage for shipment?

    Russians are very pragmatic. If it doesn't kill them they move on and consider themselves lucky.

  9. Re:then? on Wikipedia and the History of Gaming · · Score: 1

    The only thing I really understand about Wikipedia is that it sucks the fun out of any topic. Factually accurate and cited materials hand combed over by a committee of assholes doesn't make for interesting reading.

  10. Re:Wouldn't you have to be root for this to work? on Soundminder Android Trojan Hears Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    The simple fact is no OS can account for a dumb user. I really wish we'd stop chasing that dream because it makes us dumber as a whole. If we can teach people to steer a heavy metal vehicle down a highway at speed we can certainly teach them to understand how software trust works.

    In fairness to Linux, it still requires a moron somewhere in the equation to accomplish this feat.

    It's not snobbery if one of the two makes about 10-15k more per year on average. C# is a better choice career-wise IMHO.

    And of course I prefer c# syntax. I'm not half a retard. Just kidding. ;-) But not at all...

  13. Re:They better... on World of StarCraft Mod Gets C&D From Blizzard · · Score: 1

    Yeah they've said that before but I'm a little skeptical. I'm hoping it's sci-fi based either way but we'll see. I don't expect anything that outlandish. They're known more for their great execution than ground breaking features.

    That's the rumor that's been out there for a little while. They're working on a new MMO code named Titan. Some have speculated is it's World of Starcraft.

    If anything it should be viewed as a strength and not a weakness. There's no guessing game involved.

  19. Re:Same old tune on How Facebook Ships Code · · Score: 1

    Fair enough. I did come off rather preachy. They're in a very interesting situation and I can relate to that. I just wanted to rant a little on why we need to be prudent when it comes to software development techniques.

  20. Re:The Real question is... on Should Younger Developers Be Paid More? · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I can get up to speed on almost any language quickly because they all fall within a few paradigms I'm familiar with, such as Functional or OOP. If it was truly different then it may take longer. For instance aspect-oriented took a bit longer to wrap my head around, day as opposed to a few hours. Honestly it would have to be a huge leap to make it a true challenge. '

    That being said I think we have to know the situation. Sometimes the situation dictates a tight schedule and needing someone up to speed now. Perhaps he intended to get the older developer up to speed after he got the new hire in. Also, the money you make is personal. I make more than my coworker that does the exact same thing because I negotiated more. Perhaps another got even more. Is that fair? Hell no. But I don't expect fair in financial negotiations.

    This story kind of reminds me of the employees that are shocked when they are let go. "I thought we were friends" No you're coworkers. Make no mistake, these guys are not your friends and they will use your weaknesses to maximize profits. It's not personal, it's business.

    Jesus, please forgive me for the insane amount of grammatical and spelling errors. And yes I write software.. Thank God for compilers.

  23. Re:Same old tune on How Facebook Ships Code · · Score: 1

    Yeah it's funny, someone above posted that we're not engineers. I think some of the guys I know some guys that would disagree. When you shoot a multi-million dollar satellite into space everything better work. When you control the cooling in a nuclear reactor you better get it right. When you right the software for the controls of a locomotive, again, you have to get it right. These situations and more demand a level of quality that simply "eating your own dogfood" can't meet. If that's not engineering then what is?

    It's all about return on investment. If your business cannot suffer a failure then you should focus on QA heavily. If it can take a huge outage or failure and keep on trucking, because people get your service for free, well then a huge QA department might not be money well spent. It's a decision that management needs to make, but one size never fits all and hearing how it works in one situation is anecdotal at best.

    Cool story bro

  25. Re:Fake on How Facebook Ships Code · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sir the post you cite actually confirms a lot of this is true. Such as the lack of QA. They are all encouraged to test and then report any bug in a new internal version? Is that supposed to be sufficient?

    Just more proof that Facebook really doesn't care about anything except driving eyeballs to ads. I bet _that_ system is NASA engineered.
