Is this legal outside of the US? I remember there was a case in China in which a restaurant would charge a different price for tourists.

I have done this before using Java 7 async nio. The performance would drop like a brick when data received actually needed some sort of processing. How does this implementation hold up when you need to perform a O(n) operation on received data? Experiment with different sizes of n to see how the performance holds up.

Canola oil sounds frightening!

I understand that very well, I constantly thinker about possible ways to make revenue without ads. If you are really honest about it to yourself you will realize it's not a very solid business model. People can easily circumvent ads and/or just ignore them.

I have to admit this is the painful truth. The speed of the vector operations didn't actually improve using SSE3. But that doesn't dismiss the issue with compilers not being able to actually vectorize properly.

Hello. I'm a programmer.

I noticed you couldn't optimize my code to use SIMD so I went ahead and used inline assembly. It will probably take another 30 years before you can actually think like a human and perform optimizations like this.

There used to be these articles with the title "The year of the Linux mobile phone" around 2006. If anything we will see something like Android /using/ Linux. Linux is, after all, just a kernel. Having said that, the gaming platform (The Android OS if you will) of 2013 will probably be HTML5.

10. In five years' time, most programmers will still be average.

Most programmers are average, that's the definition of average. It's like saying in five years most people will still be average.

'Merica!

What does the 'I' in IBM stand for?

A diamond! This shouldn't be limited to iOS though, take it to the web and Android.

This is hilarious! Gimp's interface (separate windows) is based on Photoshop 1.0?

> What does other openings have to do with "world network for dodging taxes"?

Marketing.

> Several consultancies will happily open a "paper company" for you in Ireland or wherever you choose. No problem whatsoever

Not every company is willing to spend this much on marketing.

> "Talent goes to Mountain View" [citation needed]

Read up on the story of Lars Bak.

> There are a lot of talent outside the US (V8 came from Germany, also Zurich, London and Dublin offices have technical openings, Australia, not to forget Belo Horizonte in Brazil) and inside the US (NY comes to mind)

Openings that have been "open" for many years. If you get through you will be moved to Mountain View, CA.

Talent goes to Mountain View, CA. Job openings outside of the United States only include babysitting the office with some added mundane tasks. Why? Because Google uses it's world network for dodging taxes.

Nice, another tax dodging office in Europe. Just like the office in Amsterdam. I guess it's needed for the whole tax dodging network.

I'm not trolling (intentionally), just pointing out how a nice user interface makes the difference between crapps and apps.

Take a look at Calculator++

Also look at how Maple 16 does it. The keyword here is 'buttons'.

Just what I expected, an uninspired port. The interface is.. terrible..

Now if there was only a service called 99bugfixes.com with the same pricing.
