There is water at the bottom of the ocean Remove the water, carry the water Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down Letting the days go by, water flowing underground Into the blue again, after the money's gone Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground Into the blue again, into silent water Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

Comment Bill Gates was a lousy coder too (Score 3, Insightful) 204

For a lot of these mega-successful people, it's not the beauty of the code, or the maintainabilty of it. It's having the idea that software can do something, that this something is valuable and can be used as an engine drive profits, and then getting there first. Making it as good as it can be comes much later, if ever. Seemingly not at all if you're Microsoft. Not being able to code doesn't mean that much.

Comment This is why violating copyright is mandatory (Score 1) 161

Here's how to fix this: You quote, in total, the web page or article in question. Then, you *attribute* it to the url where you found it from, the date that you found it there, and the author/copyright holder. Now, it doesn't matter if the page changes or the site goes away. The content is preserved, the source is attributed. And, copyright troll lawyers aside, no one is harmed!

Comment Re:ever going to finish anything Notch? (Score 1) 178

If we consider Notch as a game designer, he doesn't have to finish the implementation to have done he job well. How was Minecraft harmed by his going hands off while it was in alpha? Do we really expect his next project to be as successful as the Minecraft phenomenon?

Comment Re:seems the Mac premium is disappearing (Score 1) 224

My nearest Apple store is over 50 miles away. That's a day out of my life to take it there and maybe another day to go collect it later. Then again I'm lucky that I have an Apple store (just the one though) in my native country.

That's very sad, in my native country we can go 55 miles in an HOUR (but we complain about it.)
