No. Hard work and ability gets you lots of money. Being a dick then makes you lost an equivalent amount of money. Hard work and ability does NOT earn you the right to be more of a dick than other people.
Like bankrupt musicians, athletes and artists; people who earn a lot of money for one particular skill may not have any skills in other areas (such as being smart with money). And ofcourse there are plenty of people who just inherit their wealth, who are likely (as average humans) to poses no exceptional skills at all.
How do you know FLOSS projects don't suffer a 70% failure rate too. Or perhaps even worse.
FLOSS projects typically don't have deadlines unless they get really popular, way after they passed the "success" treshold. If a FLOSS project that hasn't had updates for years a failure or a success, even though it's fully functional?
Projects that don't meet budgets, deadlines or functional criteria are considered failed. Most FLOSS projects don't have any of these unless they already had some level of success. Most FLOSS projects die well before reaching that level, though.
Judging by my own subjective standards of failure; most projects on Github and Sourceforge are failures. They have no code, cannot compile or have showstopper bugs and no recently activity that could remedy these problems.
Wouldn't this ideally be presented as a choice to users?
1. I don't care who reads my email; use either password or SMS only. 2. I care only slightly who reads my email; use two factor authentication. 3. My email is actually of some importance; choose a different email provider. 4. My email contains sensitive information; cancel all my email accounts.
If you are the judge of somebody wrongfully executed, you should be tried for negligent homicide. So if a judge is abolutely 100% certain of guilt, go ahead and give the order. My guess is nobody would ever be executed again.
I was thinking just about the same thing. Why don't hackers call their projects "8d 7d 6c 05" or "33 02 ba 9c" in source code constants? Why would they even include any non-essential things in the code at all?
1. Drop the Applesoft BASIC clone. 2. Create a programming language that natively interfaces with Facebook API, Minecraft API or whatever other software project they actually care about. 3. Show them a "Hello world" example. 4. Wait five minutes. 5. Classroom full of programmers.
Chrome is bloated too, so #1 is a non-issue. #2 is the main problem. I like Chrome and use it both at home and work almost exclusively. Whenever I take a look at Firefox (mostly for compatibility testing) I just think "why bother?", Why bother using something that is identical to the thing you already use?
Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. Keep repeating! Remember, your mind does not control you.
Being aware of things means you are operating on a conscious level. If you're "in the zone", you are operating on a subconscious level. All your conscious thoughts are directed towards a singular task. Spotting whether you're "in the zone" is not part of that singular task, therefore you will not notice it until you come back out of it. If you are noticing it, part of your brain must still not be focused on the singular task, therefore you are not completely "in the zone".
The very act of becoming aware of being "in the zone" triggers your brain into no longer being "in the zone".
Definitely not option B; beta.slashdot.org redirects to the normal site, so they've given up on beta. I think they were just trying to improve the normal slashdot.org site, the way a psychopath might try to improve his own face.
Surely I can't be the only one who finds this kind of "easy listening muzak" incredibly irritating. It sounds annoyingly bland and emotionless to me. Music tastes are subjective and change with the mood. There is no singular type music that'll work for more than a small fraction of all programmers.

They sell you a dial with a single needle and tell you it's just as good as 3 needles due to some stupid algorithm that tries to simulate it?

By that logic, we should execute everybody.
Crime rates will drop to zero.
The reason, not excuse, to execute someone is simple, they've been found (sometimes wrongfully) guilty of having executed someone else themselves.
FTFY.
If there is any reason to never execute somebody, this is it.
And yes, it happens: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W...
If you are the judge of somebody wrongfully executed, you should be tried for negligent homicide.

How much will you be dead and unable-to-ever-be-burried if the NSA finds out?
I think the main reason Minecraft is so popular with kids is exactly because it's a game that most parents are okay with.
Before today, I have never heard of Gigaom.
Looking at the content on their frontpage, I doubt I will ever hear of them again.
That's not how light works.
The flash light is not just visible to you and your camera, it's visible to everybody, even if you don't look directly at the flash.
On the other hand, people who keep buying their machines make them stop installing spyware HOW exactly?
And admit it was malware whilst Superfish was obviously just a case of misunderstoodware? /sarcasm

How do create an "elite" college from nothing?
Isn't that officious title something a college has to earn?

To be fair, if Sun hadn't been acquired, it would be dead now.
Effectively, only Suns' inheritance was bought.
The question then becomes; is it bad if Mozilla were gone?
What is the added value of Mozilla and their products right now?

The entire new testament pretty much selectively foreshadows the ending too.
Jesus was loser-edited.
It's already implemented.
The powers that be have chosen "No one is cyber-secure" for you.
