It's been my experience that people who leave competent comments are both the people who write competent code and who can touch-type.
I would imagine that when you have to peck out 400 lines of code using four fingers, there's very little incentive for you to go back in and start trying to explain things.
I sometimes comment my code in excruciating detail. But that's when what I've done was so hard to figure out in the first place, I want to make sure that whoever comes after me or if I have to revisit it again, there's some explanation as to what the hell's going on.
And, you know, this could alleviate a lot of the "bring iTunes/Amazon MP3/Hulu to the rest of the world... hopefully the global community can influence the US positively in this respect.
That has to be the longest "I welcome our new robot overlords" speech I've ever read.
If they can prove beyond reasonable doubt that you sold bullets and a gun to a person you believed was going to use them to kill someone, then yes, you could be charged with a crime.
So, once the goal they were created for is reached, they don't disband like they should. Instead, they just set new, generally more extreme goals, until they eventually degenerate into a fringe group of wackos.
I think it's delightful that the very thing (the internet) which has caused the various IP Mafia's to go all horse-head on everyone is the same thing that exposes their stupidity.
That could mean razor ads for men, cosmetics ads for women and video-game ads for teens.
...ads for tissues for people picking their noses
ads for itch powder for people scratching their crotches
and ads for weapons for people giving the sign the finger.
The set of tools, at MeasurementLab.net, includes a network diagnostic tool, a network path diagnostic tool and a tool to measure whether the user's broadband provider is slowing BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P-to-P) traffic.
Will there be a tool to tell me if Digital Max is really my friend in the digital world, or if he's just bullshitting me?
Microsoft has gradually been increasing their involvement with the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) since 2008 when they agreed to fund development of certain ASF initiatives.
The whole "Embrace, Extend and Extinguish" thing is sure taking a lot longer these days...

That was before the metal shortage. Once converted to meat or bread they have high value.
That's a delightfully confusing pair of sentences.
Things change.
Heresy!
I would say that it's a reliable indication of extreme ego and lack of skills when a programmer eschews comments entirely.
Sort of like the guy who declines to explain something to you because, "It's too complicated"
The inability to provide a simple layman's definition is, to me, a sign that someone really doesn't know his stuff all that well.
Either that, or he just doesn't like you much.

How'd you know?
Better?
Yes. Much. You've been there, I can tell. :)
...software written for Linux runs on Linux
After years of experience, I can say that this is not always the case.

Yar.
And I meant to thank you for politely pointing me towards Kent, just in case I was sincere.
The question was an attempt at humor.
But probably not nearly as funny as a Kent Hovind video.
...cue up some Jeff Beck
How can these spiders be 300 million years old when the earth is only about 10,000? Did they exist out in space until the earth was created?
You mean like this?

I type so fast that I mean "Citrix" and I get "cItrix"
Clittrix?
I'd like to see that...

Someone at the IFPI or the RIAA has dropped the ball. They either bought the wrong guy or they didn't pay enough - one of the two.
