Comment Kudos to the fellow embedded dev. (Score 1) 283
I would recomment a 3 year stint in embedded for app programmers. You'll be shocked how sloppy you are, and, more importantly, how needlessly sloppy. Many techniques can be incorporated without slowing down the freewheeling development much at all.
Somebody mod that guy up.

Wouldn't this be a bit easy to hack? Just blast a diabetes patient with radio waves, instant insulin overdose, nobody will know what happened. Perfect murder.
Mod this guy up. I was thinking the same thing when I first read this.
Comment A Second Look at Bush (Score 1) 1276
Back when he was in office, I asked my mother what she thought of Bush.
She replied that if she knew the things he did, she probably couldn't sleep at night.
That gave me a new appreciation of the man.

Have YOU tried Dia?
It has great features, but doesn't feel very polished as a program. When in Linux and don't have only minimal needs, I'll use Dia or LibO Draw. (I actually prefer Draw in that instance - even if it can't natively do UML.)

They. Are. Not. Going. To.
And even if they did, so what? Seriously, this is frickin' Slashdot. All of you either build your own machines or own Macs.
Submission + - The 12 Biggest PC Duds Ever
adeelarshad82 writes: We're all familiar with the most successful personal computers—the IBM PC, the Apple Macintosh, the Commodore 64—but what about the other side of the coin? In the 30 years since the IBM PC was introduced there have been dozens, if not hundreds, of models that arrived with great fanfare only to tank at the marketplace. These are the redundant, the shameful, the stupid. These are the duds.
