You know who could do his job better? He could, by figuring out how to make his points in a nicer way. He's putting forward a false dichotomy, between dickishness and passive aggression.
Not that I couldn't predict it, but the ignorance on display in this thread is mind-blowing. Especially from a group of people which likes to think it has exceptional intelligence and command of facts.
Depends where you are. At $BIGBANK where I currently toil, "IT" is construed broadly to mean... information technology. Everyone from the off-shore service team to the systems architects is considered "IT". It makes sense to me.
Is anyone taking bets on how long before the first report of a critic of Vladimir Putin feeling a pinprick on the subway, followed some months later by cancer and death?
This guy knows not what he talks about. In his own words:
1. "[A] monolithic kernel [...] is inherently two to three times faster for integer calculations than the Mach microkernel presently used in OS X 10.4."
2. "[W]hatever Apple's overall strategy, we're likely to see a new kernel in OS X 10.5[....] Apple will most likely offer more than one way to satisfy Big Business's desire to run Windows or at least Windows applications. I think Apple is sincere, for example, in their interest in allowing Apple hardware to boot straight into Vista. Not even Steve Jobs would go for months pretending to be a Vista OEM then give that up the night before. (Now watch him prove me wrong.) So for those who absolutely must have Windows, then let them have Windows, with which the new kernel ought to make performance quite snappy.
The kernel is involved in "integer calculations"? A new OS X kernel is gonna make Windows run faster when booted natively?! Cringely, what do you think a kernel *does*? I'll trade you an operating systems textbook for your pundit license!

No. OS X is Mach, *and* is BSD. These things are not mutually exclusive.

"Disco verbing"? What the hell is disco verbing?
Mod parent up!
Rap's been around for decades, too!

Something tells me that Coward, above -- and it's quite apt in this case -- doesn't know any black people.
So you're assuming that your dialect is "correct", and anyone else's is, a priori, a problem.
Convince someone with money that you can make money serving that market.
If that doesn't sound easy, well, perhaps entrepreneurship is not for you. (I know it's not for me.)
My guess, based just on reading the news, is that Jake's detention had less to do with Tor, and more to do with WikiLeaks.
I think iPhones account for less than 20% of smartphone sales, world-wide.
(Disclosure: I own a modest number of Apple shares.)
Autotuning is dead, haven't you heard?
Dunno. Are there any other Google products out of beta? :-)
Have you looked at the news lately? A lot of people got rich doing math in the last few years.

Management is hard, let's go hacking.
What does technical acuity have to do with political savvy?
Wrong. They start taking reservations for date X at date X - 1 month.
Oh, and to the first poster: it's on Shattuck Ave.

I have a 9300. The software is awfully flaky. It has its good points, but I'd never buy one again.
Yes, I like to sneer at you five-digit Johnny-come-latelies. ;-)

CNS News is about as credible as Ann Coulter. It's a right-wing site with no particular attachment to truth.
And there is no such thing as the "Democrat Party". That should have been your tip-off.
*Very* disappointed in Slashdot editors today.
And where do you work?
Apple doesn't make scanners nor printers. Mac OS X supports TWAIN and IPP. You're talking out your ass.

No -- the scientists working on this have _never heard of statistics_.
You'd better let them know!
