  14. In a brief on Motivating Your Co-Developers? · · Score: 1

    The key to victory is human relationships.
    As a team leader you will be working for two men: one is usual programmer and another one is manager. You HAVE to plan your work, define stages, checkpoints, deadlines and so on. You have continuously control (read: help and fix their bugs) your other coders.
    And yes, you NEED shared idea, mission: psychological motivations are the best ones.

  22. Error in article's title on Chip a Playstation, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    Garby sold the chips from his computer store, Kustum Komputers, which he ran from November 1999 to March 2001. He advertised the mod chip sales and installation service in local flyers.

  23. Re:How could they do it? on HP: Rival Printers Mean No More HPs Through Dell · · Score: 1

    You can refuse to sell anything to anyone. Or do you think that arms manufacturers MUST sell guns to terrorists?

    You CAN NOT refuse to sell goods to selected people. You MUST sell it to everyone or don't sell it at all. Regarding firearms, there are some government regulations to whom you can sell it, if you are eligible to buy it, seller CAN NOT refuse to sell it just because he did not like you. This is the LAW.
