Episode II is the worst movie ever (suckier than Citizen Kane).
Episode I was better and had that cool computer game in the middle.
Though obviously I'll respect your opinion 'cos you're not trying to say that I/II/III (adds up to 6? OMG!) were better than IV/V/VI (adds up to 12! Duh, they're twice as good as the first three!).

Code complete is rubbish. Overly long and wordy. The Pragmatic Programmer is it's replacement: something useful you can read in a week.
Get a mobile phone that does this. And more. Then you've got one less device to carry in your pocket.
Bonus: with software you can play your music back at different speeds. Which is great if you want to change depressing, slow stuff into light-hearted squirrel music...
Can someone explain why this movie is supposed to be so amazing?
I found it kinda boring and I've never been able to finish it. Even though the conventional wisdom is that it's a must-see because it's the best movie "ever made".
Or is it simply now a (mis-guided?) synonym for the perfect movie?
Though I do like Rose Bud... (sorry, couldn't resist)
I've got tendinitis and found that changing from a normal mouse to an ergo mouse (mine's the Whale by Humanscale -- it looks ridiculous, like a squashed, normal mouse) helped more than anything because I no longer move it with my wrist but with the length of my arm (ie at the elbow). Exercises from a physiotherapist helped a lot too.
I haven't got an opinion about the laptop apart from the fact that -- like someone said -- the keys are probably softer.
I'm not sure that I believe that hot water was a luxury ten years ago in Estonia. Especially during winter. (I know it's bad of me to say this without reading the article but I don't really care.)
Eastern Europe under communism wasn't like living in some "black and white" (cf colour tv) nightmare.
Often times if you design a system to take into account the needs of all potential users you end up creating a better system for every user. You get beneficial side-effects for everybody. For instance, ramps on curbs on wheel-chair users makes life easier for people making deliveries.
I'm sure that web-sites designed for the partially sighted or blind end up being easier to navigate for the fully sighted.

The guy's allegedly a huge asshole. It wouldn't surprise some people I know.

No. Something in very poor and terrible taste.
Can someone make a bad pun involving rain. Thanks. (I'd do it myself but I don't want to go to "hell".)
You're not kidding. I was bored by the time I'd finished reading the first paragraph ...
*cough* FreeBSD *cough* or was that a long time ago?
Ba dum.

The Slashdot Effect
probably not safe for work btw
Anybody get the feeling that IBM is just that little bit bitter?
Is that wise?
Huh? That did? Let me try again: Sometimes I feel like Slashdot is becoming a collection of broken links ...

Does anybody have any links to example Microsoft code? I'd like to see the dreaded Hungarian notation thing up close (or did they move on?).
I'm not reading that, it's all in lower case.
Very cool. But what the hell is that supposed to be a map of that the fox is looking at?
That page doesn't have any screenshots ... :-(

What's IANAL mean. And why use it?
Shurely he mis-spelt it on purpose for some reason.
