  1. Re:Too Easy on Google Sued over Page Ranking · · Score: 1

    why are you saying "google are" and then saying "searchking is" if you're refering to searchking as a single company instead of as a group og people then youshould do the same with google of course, i'm not using caps or puntuation so what do i know me am just grouchy today

  2. Re:Did I read this right? on Mac OS X to Get Journaling FS · · Score: 1

    Yo, you can get 3 button mice for macs. Logitech sells a couple of them.

    here's one

    I've been using one for a while. Contextual menus (you can set the 2nd mouse button to --control-click--) and the scroll wheel both work!

  3. Re:Disposable electronics on Discarded Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    oh you and your l33t'ist bullshit. you dont think its in the interest of manufacterers(sp) for normal people to go buy new appliances instead of getting them fixed? when a microwave breaks, you think the average user's gonna open the sucker up and know to replace a the fuse? shit dude, (s)he would be fucking scared of getting electrocuted.

    Wait, moving towards a trend? what country do you live in? Its a f*cking lifestyle.

    When an appliance breaks most folks jsut go out and buy a new one. Its cheaper to buy a new appliance than have it serviced or fixed.

    Same goes for ikea type furniture. Now replace ikea type furniture with phones, cell phones, vcr's, pots, pans....

    Its a sad fact, but its true, or at least its true to me and my experience in sf bay area.

  5. Good coder doesnt make a good lead coder on Motivating Your Co-Developers? · · Score: 1

    I've been in projects where my superiors arent totally forthcoming with info. Info was given out at a need to know basis. And he thought himself such a badass that he kept most of the 'hard stuff' to himself.

    Now I'm not saying that you're this way, jsut that this story's just from 1 POV.

    Communications skills are vital, if there's a problem early on you need to address it. If you're the lead then you need to make the damn milestones or whatever clear. If the other folks arent producing then you figure out why together, that way-- early on you can either work it out or find replacements. Gun hoe'ing it and taking it on all by yourself and then bitching and complaining about it afterwards-- well you're jsut as much to blame if you're the lead and you let the problem get that far. Involve people.

    Of course this is worst case scenario and probably doenst apply. Best of Luck!
