It is the over generalization that hurts you. Look at Rule #4 VC are morons. But let's look at #6 as you say. You say "There are no rules" but then back that up with "Its fear and greed and desire and comfort and popularity" which is my point. You are not hyping and I didn't mean to imply that. It's when people write their experiences as fact instead of opinion, and then someone replies saying that is BS and gives their own opinion as fatct, that then become ridiculous. Of course the is only IMHO:-)
Ah the hypocrisy. It is wonderful. Do people know when they are doing it? You say the authors article is one of a possible million and then you turn around and spout your experience as if it is god. Anyway, don't really mean to be mean. Both of you have good advice.
You say it is almost never to complex to test? Most times it is. And it certainly always is when you must ship when the company wants to. Software, like many things are becoming gigantic and out of the ability for one person, or a group of people to fully understand. Example: modern jet liners are too big for one or several people to fully understand. And testing the Shuttles flight system - when? I mean originally it had like the power of an Apple II in a way. Bigger today but I bet in many ways less than airline flight systems. In the end, it is a fact that you cannot fully test any software. Time and risks have to be assesed. It will only become more challenging.
I have two songs on my shuffle, but I would swear it plays this one tunes like 50% of the time. And it is a U2 song. So obviously they are trying to hypnotize you into buying a black iPod. Duh.
Wow! I will say it again. You just demonstrated how much you hate them by saying they don't get it. If we all like the same thing we would have all married your grandma. It freaks me out that people talk as if their opinion is the only one, I'm sorry, the right one. It is to laugh. I am all for you making your point but why knock someone down to do it. Just argue your side. Make your side stand on its own.
Wow! It is so sad that Windows PDAs have the larger market share. The reasons are the usual ones that make me want to spew on MS. However, the top reason is: Has MS ever innovated on anything? Other than Office, have they ever created something cool (OK Office is no longer cool) on their own? Like those mold commericials, I am going back to my "safe place, safe place, safe place"
While I applaud Mr. Foley for his response, it still does not sit well. He complains about others stealing yet that is exactly what he is attempting with the trademark/logo. I don't believe he is that altruistic.
Yep, piggybacking is a good idea. Even in residential neighborhoods. If you have a hip neighbor it is easy and cheap to share a connection amoung many houses. Although I wonder if the cable companies are smart enough to catch on. The down side is if one nieghbor has a teen who is on 24/7 then you are SOL - but then maybe you can get tons of music for free! (Shame on me. I didn't say that)
Near Native. Right. I have heard that story for years. For me it started with claims that on the PowerPC they could achieve 95% of native performance when emulating Windows. Maybe if you had some hardware betwwen memory and the CPU that translated on the fly then it might work. Look at Transmeta. Even in micro-code they can't compete on performance.
This is a tough call. On the one hand I know MS software is not what it should be and I don't like MS business practices. On the other hand, Clark has blatently contradicted himself numerous times and is not reliable either. So is it still the enemy of my enemy is my friend or do I just ignore them both. The good news is that MS software sucks either way.:-)
I don't think we are in disagreement. We are just stating it in different ways. I made no claim that because of X that Y MUST happen. Just that it is possible. Post hoc, ergo proctor hoc. Also, I acknowledge that it didn't effect him before I said it could effect others. So the logic you stated is right there in the sentence. In the end the point I wanted to get across is that you cannot say that something didn't influence some person enough.
What is funny and makes you 100% wrong is that, it wasn't you! To justify something because of your personal experience is valid only for you. Everything in life influences you to some degree. It is an absolute fact that some media or someone can influence some people enough to immediately perform some act. Religion would be out of business if this wasn't true.
Wrong. It is an absolute fact that some people (kids) can be directly influenced by some media - books, movie, games. It can be immediate and very stupid. Now proving that GTA was the ONLY influence is impossible, but it certainly was an influence. Remeber, everything in your life influences you in some amount.
Always always always be helpful. Make it so your people can do their work. Provide and get out of the way. The worst managers, IMHO, are those who look for failures and a place to hang blame. Anyone, I mean anyone, who is berated or belittled will never want to do their best for you and company. But if you help them and teach them, they will always give their best.
I have a huge problem with the technology of this show. An example is: They can fly faster than light but they don't have water filters to recycle water and thus must find some on a planet. Please! Then there are the cheap analog guages everywhere. I could go on and on.

No, actually I want skilled fucking people so I can just lay there.

You gotta love someone who says YOU loath them while proving THEY loath you.
Actually it is impressive they could get it out so soon. Why? Testing the patch/fix of course.

My local Blockbuster kept calling multiple times a day when I decided to press the new policy. By shear nagging alone I gladly returned the movie.
I subscribe back in December. They sent me an email saying my first issue would be this summer. Man I am pissed!!!!!

It is man that draws conculsions from random event. So, "Did randomness create man or did man create randomness."

...yes that's me. My response to this is... ummm. Hang on. ...almost got it now... Dammit! What was the question?
