  1. My iPaq is good but I want cheaper SD/MMC/CF cards on Ideal PDA Feature Wishlist? · · Score: 1

    I really like the iPaq 3800 series. It made my recent stint of waiting out the east coast storms in airports more bearable...with MP3s to listen to, eBooks to read, and games to play.

    But memory cards (my iPaq can take SD, MMC, or CF) cost too much. I can't wait for the day when I can get 128M for $10US.

  2. good tools on What is Well-Commented Code? · · Score: 1

    If you do Java, do Javadoc comments - fill in @param, @exception, @return, etc.. Trust me, somewhere, sometime, someone will thank you.

    Likewise, if you do C/C++, check out CCDoc and do the same thing.

  3. Re:Really lame on Do Programming Languages Affect Your Sexual Performance? · · Score: 1

    Get over it...really. It's April Fools Day. Have a laugh.

    The posting made this 40 year old mom of two kids and software engineer (...and Java/XML/XSL guru...just imagine the possibilities) laugh her socks off.

    Thanks guys!

  4. communication skills on The Laid-off Techie · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised noone else noticed this....

    From the women working at Bath & Body Works

    "At first, I was like, 'Why am I here?'"

    Uhh....maybe you should work on your communication skills while you're shelving lotions. Using "like" as a verb doesn't impress the HR types.

  5. Once in a great while... on Friendships in the IT Workplace? · · Score: 1

    we try to get everyone together for lunch but it's hard to find a place that fits all the multicultural diet restrictions - vegan-Klaat kosher-sushi-within-10-Weight-Watchers-Points anyone?

  6. Re:huh? on Ellison's ID Card Plan Gets More Attention · · Score: 1

    Next time that happens, remind the pimply-faced checkout guy and his manager that severely sight-impaired people wouldn't be carrying driver's licenses, in-state or out. Thus, they are in violation of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) laws.

  7. But bridges don't begin life as trade show demos on Software Aesthetics · · Score: 1

    If I had a dime for every time a misguided marketing type confused a research demo or proof of concept written (heaven forbid in VB) by a summer intern for a working product and then promised a fully functional, fully tested, competively priced package tuned to a customer's whims inside of a month.....well, I probably wouldn't be spending the hours trying desperately to make it happen.

  8. For those who tout themselves as "experienced"... on How Do You Interview A Sysadmin Candidate? · · Score: 1

    "Please tell me about all the revenue generating products you have helped to produce and explain your role in producing them." Ask that right after you place the coffee cup on his or her various programming certificates. Oh, and of course... "Have you ever been arrested?" asked in your best Officer Obie (sp?) accent.

  9. Re:What exactly is IBM buying? on IBM To Purchase Informix Database · · Score: 1

    w.r.t. Media/360 and CNN.... see yesterday's New York Times. CNN had already gone with IBM for media archive prior to the merger announce. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/23/technology/23SEA R.html You will need a userid and password to access this. JoAnn
