I've worked with coders who should never have been coders.
I was in a programming class once and a fellow student asked me how I had solved a particularly difficult programming problem we had been given. I excitedly told him how I had come up with a clever solution that I was particularly proud of and about how I had awoken my roommate jumping up and down with delight when I did it. My fellow student just stared at me blankly, clearing not getting why I had been so excited at coming up with a unique solution to the problem. And that is when I knew that I was meant to be a programmer and he wasn't.
Your classmate was probably staring blankly because they didn't understand your answer, and thus was unable to copy it properly.
If it came to it I would pay to not be apart of this service. It doesn't make sense that one would have to and it's a shame that eventually you won't be able to go after telcos for disseminating every last iota of information they have on you.
Pay!? Fuck that! I will drop my carrier if they do not provide a free opt-out. Actually fuck opt-out as well, they had better not give out my location at all without a specific provider-specific opt-in.
I am sure there are some lawsuits that could come out over this.
Please tell me that I am not the only person to read this as: (Avatars Used For Australian Online Sex) (Appeal Study) instead of: (Avatars Used) For (Australian Online Sex Appeal Study)
I was wondering why and how an avatar could appear an online sex study.
You cant go wrong by acting professional, even if you are a easy going friendly person. As you ease your way into your new job/career, you will be able to get a feel for your coworkers, bosses and clientele (if you interact with them, which many developers are quite happy not to:).
Once you get to know people you can "loosen up" to as much as you are comfortable. In a lot of companies this also means a loosening up of the dress code. Usually the newer employees are expected to stick a bit to the dress code proper, as you gain experience you will know when the limits can be pushed.
I like to get to know some of my cowokers quite well, to the point where we are good friends outside of work. Obviously this does not take place for everyone, and some people would prefer a strictly professional relationship. Always respect this.
If you are lucky (or unlucky, depending on your personality); you might even find yourself at an extremely relaxed environment. You might even hear friendly jabs from management that you should "loosen up". Never be offended by this. Instead claim you want to make a good first impression; even "loose" managers will eat this kind of stuff up! (and it is the truth too, double bonus)
Easy, java developers are apparently easy to troll. Every time there is a discussion where someone can take a shot at java, someone does in order to get a rise out of people.
how is powering an entire city not worth 3 football fields of real estate? I would not be surprised if that is not already in the ballpark of what is being used.
Ballparks, Football fields? We are just a hockey rink away from another bad sports analogy.
Police broke into and searched Gizmodo journalist Jason Chen's home, seizing basically every piece of technology in his home, under an apparently illegal warrant:
The real question is... will Gizmodo still suck Apple's cock after this event?
Former aircraft carrier? I am pretty sure it is still carrying aircraft. I guess you could say it is a "former aircraft" carrier, as the planes on her no longer fly.
But this isn't censorship because Apple is not obligated to publish his app anymore than the SFGate is not obligated to publish every cartoonist in existence in their paper.
Just like Concast isn't obligated to broadcast the NHL playoffs. But I would stop paying them money in a damn hurry decided not to have it.

I don't think any neutrino detector can detect them. Not even IceCube.
What about Dr Dre?
Should I get off your lawn now, grandpa?
GP might be 35 and have never owned a mobile phone.
Or perhaps you were aware of that...
"IRS Wants a Cut of Sales On eBay and Craigslist".
Yeah, well so do I. However unless they get some laws changed they are not going to be getting more of a cut than I am.
I am sure taxing all online transactions will make politicians very popular.

Assuming the acceleration is modest, her facial expression aqt Mach 6 should be identical to when she's sitting on her living room sofa.
Not if she is on the outside of the craft. But then, a standard subsonic jet would probably suffice.
Air Force Wants Reusable Fly-Back Rockets
And so do the rest of us!
Oh wait, I read that as "Air Force Wants Reusable Backpack Rockets".
This will be allowed only if it prevents small traders from abusing the market while not affecting the profits of the big traders.
My other car is a cdr.
Well mine is a CDR-W.

Heh, heh... nevermind.
Mayan pyramids are 10 times bigger than normal humans.
I think you are off by a few orders of magnitude.
if only our raises were based on slashdot karma. I'd be a millionaire!
And your raise would be max $50.

While it can be viewed as a form of prostitution, marrying rich men is legal as well, yet nobody complains about that.
I will speak up for all the non-rich men out here... We are complaining about it.

Yeah, I got the release and I'll probably buy the double/triple dip version when it comes out.
This is why media companies pull this crap on us and expect us to bend over and take it.
Thanks.
Focus Fusion sounds like when two Fords crash into each other.

Yeah, your tin foil hat.

In fact, that is exactly what I did to DirectTV.
That popping sound you are hearing is the heads of grammar Nazis exploding.
I swear to god I will stab the first person who complains about my previous statement.
So what do people with piercings do now?
Work at Starbucks.
Java engineers.
