Nobody involved in the continuing slow-motion train wreck known as Microsoft Windows has a leg to stand on when it comes to criticism of any other software development organization.
People are going homeless and hungry without more cuts.
We spend enough already to bring everyone above the poverty line. Obviously, they're not getting it. If you actually care about helping the poor, you should be fighting to get government out of the charity racket, because they SUCK at it.
The purpose of this award is to get people who want to see Nolan Bushnell to shop up at the conference. It has nothing to do with his merits or flaws. If GDC thought it was a net positive to their bottom line, they would have ignored the bitching from the SJWs.
From day one of the iOS SDK, we've had the iPhone simulator, and later the iPad and Apple Watch simulators.
I've said for years that Apple should make it a consumer feature, and let us run any of our iOS apps on the Mac. Glad to hear they're getting around to it.
As a Libertarian, I believe that businesses should be free to make any pricing decisions they want, even if they piss off some of their customers. As a businessman, I'm amazed that Tinder's management can be so fucking stupid.
That's an interesting idea. It's not like there's much money to be recovered, but those people certainly deserve to have seven-figure judgements hanging over their heads for the rest of their lives.
I hope he simply deletes that shithole of a site in its entirety. Fuck Gawker, and fuck anyone who ever worked with those thieving motherfuckers in any capacity.
Specifically, the "reasonable person" standard. If someone makes threats of harm that a reasonable person would consider credible, then punishment is appropriate.
As for who should decide whether a threat rises to that level, that's what juries are for.
Denying them the opportunity to partner leaves them with a hole in their life. They're going to fill it with something.
I wonder how the inability to get laid factors into someone's decision to strap on a bunch of explosives and take their chances on whether the 72 virgins story is bullshit or not.

Microsoft's reputation for security was damaged for a decade
I have to take exception to that. Microsoft never had any reputation for security in the first place.

I'm sure all of the current interns have gotten a "leak like this guy and we'll ruin you" speech
I doubt that. I've worked at Apple and signed plenty of NDAs, and nobody ever assumed that I couldn't read what I'd signed.

I see you're finally putting some effort in, but you have a long way to go. Better luck next time, sparky.

If I take a car for a test drive and it spams me, I will take it right back to the dealer and tell them to go fuck themselves in no uncertain terms.

the comforts of civilization,
Take a look at the history of the 20th century and then try to tell me that government and civilization are the same thing.

If you want to shrink government, make the taxes equal to expenditures.
No, you CUT SPENDING.

Fuck you. Taxation is theft.

Glad to know that Google employs competent accountants and tax lawyers. Every euro kept out of government hands is a good thing.

Regrettably, flogging him to death is not likely to be among the sentencing options in the jurisdiction where he'll be charged.
