Hideously bad dialog.

>If you think it is unreasonable, why don't you find something better to do with your time and money? You could make a nice dinner for two with €10 and have a much better time than you would being angry at ads and those rich assholes in Hollywood. Nobody's forcing you to watch films.

You realize that's EXACTLY I and millions of others are doing right? That in fact that exact phenomenon which you suggest is what caused this article to be written?

I've always had difficulty interviewing because I'm a #2 on this guys list--the "long distance runner" of thinking. My talent has always been slow, methodical crunching of massive amounts of data-- analysis. There's no way to demonstrate this talent during an interviews. I've gotten feedback from interviews and heard, "It's not that you didn't answer every question correctly, it's that you weren't fast enough." So I essentially can't show my most valuable skill to a potential employer.

I stopped buying movies and going to the movies for the same three reasons: 1. The often unskippable advertisements, anti-piracy warnings and FBI warnings on Blurays. 2. Most movies now have 30 mins of advertisements before them in theatres. 3. Hollywood isn't making good films anymore.

In other words, Hollywood is making shit products. They're just surprised that we're not buying them anymore.

I got one of these for the first time (on a different carrier) last week, it was horrible. I was listening to music while exercising and it startled the shit out of me-- it was blairing an emergency whistle right in my ear. My wife was sleeping and her iPhone scared the every loving fk out of her.

All this for an amber alert which frankly had very little relevance to us. I think mass notificaitons of this sort need to be reserved for mass emergencies.

Came here to say this--and yes it is. No two ways about it. The 6th amendment was meant to prevent exactly this situation.

Thank you kindly.

Hi, I'd like to thank everyone for their great replies. More good info then I could have hoped for here.

Thanks, od2m

Thanks Jared, I'm going to read your book :)

I refuse to care since the same political correctness that won't allow them to report this is in fact a Muslim riot... got them into this situation in the first place.

Ask me about Loom...

If this is the same whey as in whey protein… Whey prices are THROUGH THE ROOF the last couple of years owing to inflation and large purchasers drying up supply.

I work for a fortune small-cap company, we have 500m in sales per year, more money than we know what to do with, and we never pay our bills. It's a little game the accounting department likes to play. This has caused a problem more then once as engineering (my department) was unable to obtain specialized equipment due to not having paid the vendor previously.

The most quixotic thing is, engineering expenses are scrutinized heavily. I literally can't get basic equipment needed, yet we have 100's of unnecessary managers flying all over the world on lavish expense accounts.

Why did I become an engineer again?

I've worked with Samsung, this guy is spot on.

That is badass. Will be trying this tomorrow.

I would pay the money if it was worth it… Good tools are worth money. I've been using Monotouch and Monodroid since day 1, and it was pretty rocky at the start. There's still a lot of annoying bugs in the bindings on iOS.

I've had my pebble since the day it came out, AND I'M BORED.

Why is their no trial of Ruby Motion? That's been the issue for me. Spending $200 just to try something makes NO sense. Seems to me they're hiding something.

Eclipse -- The titanic of IDEs.

I actually looked this up before I typed it… http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Ostridge fooled me :)

You are an ostridge with his head buried in the sand, except the cartoon you are in? IT'S NOT FUCKING FUNNY.

Please…

Violence, sex, and spectacle have always been used as a crutch for bad storytelling and simply being out of ideas.

Are we willing to bet that the rise in CO₂ will continue to not trigger a runaway process?

The problem with that argument is you can make it for anything that's not well understood.

My first corporate gig-- I had a horrible first week, they dumped me in an office, no assignment, no computer… nothing. They said another guy would be starting in a week and we'd get started then. I just sat there for a week.

I decided when the new guy started I'd try and make his first day better than mine-- I introduced myself and took him to lunch and ended up making a life long friend, some years later he was a groomsman at my wedding. Making a good friend at work has happened twice in my life, and let me tell you there's nothing that eases the burden of labor like working with a good friend every day.

The problem is low quality software and no trials. I can't tell you how many times I've seen an app, paid $2.99 for it and then found out it was garbage.

This is whats wrong with everything. You can't make a shitty rap video (and yes its shitty) without being accused of racism.

Yes and no… Graymail IS the new spam. So when your company sends 800/million pieces of it day, you own that discussion.

Sendgrid strikes again! (they send email for LinkedIn)

This is nonsense.
