I honestly don't see what the uproar is about. It works the same for me as the old site and it's easier on the eyes and doesn't look like something I designed in 10th grade. What is so broken about the comment system? I keep seeing that in here, but nobody explains why. It "just sucks" is all anyone is saying.

I work at a very small business. My personal laptop is my development environment along with the desktop I have at home. My development environment is pretty much whatever I want it to be, so I don't feel limited like i have at other employers. I'm in charge of all the tech at the job, so I do whatever I want. The boss is an inventor, so he actively encourages me to try new technologies and learn whatever I think would be fun to learn. It's cut down on how much I do at home and has allowed me to actually delve into my other interest areas outside of programming. I still do spurts of it here and there a month at a time, but this job allows me to look into new technologies without feeling like I need to do job training at home too. Sometimes I get excited about work and do a lot of it in my free time, but sometimes I get excited about stuff I do at home and then do it at work too. For this job, I'm fine mixing "church and state," but I've had other ones were 5:00 hits and it's fuck you all; you're not getting a damn cent of value out of me past this point. I've always liked the google 20% policy. You get time to do stuff out of the monotony. It helps generate new ideas while also introducing you to new tech.

Considering most airports have desks and areas to use your laptop and charge it, I don't think you're in any trouble.

They do http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Setup

The only other places I see them are those coupon printing plugins and lots of older science and math web sites that do some sort of visualization/simulation stuff.

Well you've commented, so now you're worthless to us all.

I dunno about you, but my CS degree got me over 50k a year graduating. Hardly think your average liberal arts major is making even half that.

My computer is hooked up to my TV. Most of the stuff you get over the air isn't 1080 anyway. Netflix has plenty of HD stuff. I do hulu, netflix, and other streaming sites. Costs me $8 a month. For how much content I get, HD cable can go fuck itself in the ass for all I care. Savings far outweighs the benefit of a super sharp picture.

Oops. 120. Still don't think it's that much.

It's 20 pixels. I've had both 16:10 and 16:9 screens. I don't get the big hype over 20 fucking more pixels.

Why does everyone bring up swing? What about AWT and SWT? SWT looks the same as native components on any of the platforms. Eclipse uses it. IBM uses it in some of their stuff. We use SWT in our java projects here at work.

I wish they'd improve the Base application. It's horrendously slow and clunky and has a horrible interface. I can't stand that I have to right click on the table name and hit paste to paste data into a table, rather than just doing it directly in the the table view editor (the way most people would think to do it).

Actually every hundred year is when a leap year doesn't come along. (unless it's divisible by 400, then it does)

Steve will also know all the shit you say behind his back.

I can't help but think of how depressed I would be with the irony if I were in this situation. I'm so poor and don't have money, but the government was kind enough to bring some to me and let me watch it burn.
