TwistedWeaselon Apple has a gajillion dollars. Devs still have to pay $100.

This is only a problem for people who plan to make <$100 from their app

TwistedWeaselon Apple has a gajillion dollars. Devs still have to pay $100.

If I had bought one share in Apple six years ago then they would have paid for five years of developer membership fees.

We have a test framework and a devoted team of people dedicated to encouraging the use of said framework but the rest of our engineering staff don't get it.

Ok, I see the rest, apparently I was looking in "Staff Picks".

I don't see a way to buy, is this rental only for movies?

There are a total of 71 movies listed, or am I missing something?

TwistedWeaselon Why Windows 8 will suck

Adding Windows 2000 into his list would change the entire article.

TwistedWeaselon Visualization of How People on Twitter Reacted to the Internet Blackout

Would have been a bit more useful to show the traffic before the blackout for frame of reference, this just looks like an unchanging level of activity.

TwistedWeaselon Infrastructure Debt

Some good points, but very narrow focus on web development. Not everyone can work in a VM for performance reasons, and many projects target multiple different environments making it useful to have your devs on different versions to get more eyes on problems that might arise there.

In the video game industry, we usually split our developers up between each game console, so there are a half dozen different dev environments in use and it works better that way.

I like the concept of infrastructure debt, and it's clear he's talking from his own personal experience. I'm sure many examples could be made for other software industries that are also valid.

The hard part about solving these kinds of problems isn't entirely a technical problem, because many of them are caused by bad habits and stubborn programmers. To fix these issues you need to change people's daily working practices, not an easy task.

TwistedWeaselon On Steve Jobs’s passing

I don't know why people keep bringing up this "alternative medicine" thing, claiming he could just have had surgery and been cured.

The details of his illness and his treatment were, quite rightly, private.

Unless somebody links to a video of the man himself stating that he deliberately chose to not have surgery and partake in alternative medicine instead, then anyone claiming so has no credibility.

TwistedWeaselon High Priority Free Software Projects

Great example, but that was a long time ago. The argument being made here is that there isn't enough innovation in the free software space in recent years.

TwistedWeaselon Poll: How much cell phone data do you use a month?

For the first time ever I just passed 1Gb in a month, entirely due to watching two 45 minute shows on Netflix over 3G.

TwistedWeaselon Quotes from Android partners

So, let's get this right. Google just got all in a huff about people spending $4.5B on patents and then goes out and spends $12.5B on a company with one of their primary stated motives being the acquisition of patents?

TwistedWeaselon I don't know how to IE6

That's exactly what I was thinking. He's telling us to stand up and do something he's not willing to do himself?

TwistedWeaselon OS X Lion Recovery removes need for physical media

It must be something small like that, nothing stored on the HD. I wonder if it pulls down enough to create a recovery partition and then boots into that?

TwistedWeaselon OS X Lion Recovery removes need for physical media

Done.

Interesting that the USB stick version is so much more, I assume it's really only for those upgrading from pre 10.6, so it's similar to the cost of Snow Leopard + Lion + cost of media
