If his job involves finding solutions, then that's just it: he needs to find solutions. He doesn't need to INVENT them.
Oh, and unless you invented source control and diffs, or stumbled upon them in some lost dungeon, you probably found out about them by asking people too, meaning you're just as "bad" as him.
[The Xbox 360 has] 4 LED's who's sole purpose is to tell you that it is is DEAD!
I'm not sure if you're being snarky or if you didn't know this, but the 4 LEDs surrounding the power button also tell you how many controllers (between 1 and 4) are connected to the system. In many peoples' opinions, they also look cool.
I'm not saying they're completely necessary, but given the popularity of case mods, I don't think a company deserves to be criticized for putting extra lights on their system (especially ones that do have some useful functions).
I'm about to start a mid-sized project that I'd like to use a framework for. I'm planning on using the Zend Framework, since I know PHP very well. I do not know Python, but it's very high on my list of languages I'd like to learn (like, number 1).
Would it be worth my time to learn Python and then do the project in Django? I'm experienced enough in OO and various languages that I don't think Python would take me too long to pick up, but is the learning curve between knowing Python and using Django steep enough that it cancels out the benefits of using Django over Zend (if there even are any in the first place)?
Very good, thank you. I would mod you up, but I think I can't because I've already commented on this article. I can see now how releasing cross-platform does result in higher-quality games (I'm not convinced that it's the best or most cost-effective way, but given that no one ever claimed it was, that doesn't matter).
Could you show me some places where they make this statement? I'm not challenging you, as I don't see why you'd have any reason to lie. I'd just like to see their wording for myself, so that I can see if I think they really mean what you say they mean.
I'm sure you've heard it a billion times, but correlation != causation, and this sounds like a particularly egregious example.
I doubt Blizzard releases cross-platform in order to make their games higher quality. More likely, companies like Blizzard who release high quality games have more leeway to do what they want (they may have more money, a more devoted fanbase, a more lenient publisher, or something else), and this also allows them to release the games on multiple platforms.
I know there's a lot of talk about the App Store vs. Installer.app issue, but there's another important part of this as well.
My friend found a SIM-card-less 8GB iPhone in his car a few months ago. He turned it over to authorities, but no one claimed it, so he got it back.
He already had another iPhone (a real one), so he sold this new one to me for $150 (I was planning on buying an 8GB iPod Touch which would've been $300, so I basically saved $150 even though I got a cripped iPhone instead of an iPod Touch).
Problem is, iPhones won't work (on their own) without a SIM card. I had to wipe it and jailbreak it before I could use it. When I heard about the new 2.0 software coming out, I was very excited, but I wasn't 100% confident that I'd ever get to use it. Now that it's been jailbroken, I can!
I don't know if I'm going to use Installer.app, the App Store, or both. I'm just glad I can use the 2.0 software.
"Fearmongering" tag? Give me a break. If there's any data on stuff like this, even if it's not enough to be conclusive, I want to know about it. True, maybe the title should've bee "Nanomaterials MAY BE More Dangerous Than We Think", but not every mention of possible but unproven danger is fearmongering.
As I understood it, a fair bit of compiler optimization is already categorized as AI. The summary should probably point out that the AI implemented here is learning AI, which is far more meaningful.
Steve Lamoureaux, the company's chief innovation officer, said of the VP finding: 'We never imagined that the same candidate would show up for both parties.'"
When I hear someone say something of that nature in response to a program's output, it usually means they forgot to get rid of the test data and put the real stuff in.
"We never imagined that 'foo' would show up for both parties!"
This looks very cool. Have you used it? Do you know anyone else who has used it? I've found a bunch of descriptions of it on the web, but not a lot of "reviews" per se.
Similarly, The Dojo Toolkit is a very strong JS library/toolkit/framework/whatever. I'm interning at WebEx, and I've been doing almost all my work with it. It's been a joy to use, especially for someone like me who has otherwise struggled with more complicated JavaScript.

There's over 9000!
I really don't understand why I'm getting modded Funny... I thought this was useful and relevant information.
Not sure exactly what will happen, but it will probably involve the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

So essentially these are high-capacity coasters?
Wow, I thought I was the only one who had heard of this site. I'm so relieved!

But why?!
In most peoples' opinion, you can't do any better than this.
...we would happily supply electronic versions of our D20 lines for translation of OGC to such a web site...
I don't know what D20 lines they're using, but I certainly don't remember any OGC in mine.

If I remember right, it finally got to close its eyes.

What did I ever do to you :(
David All is a genius. There is nothing more smart or unique than asking people on the internets to support you.
I'm far too simple-minded to post a satirical comment on Slashdot.
