Wow. 109. You should eBay that sucker. :-D

We need to progressive reforms to save us from this Gilded Age of Bacon Barons!

You can see Bill in the documentary film Objectified, which is about industrial design. Really, it's a must see for folks who read this site.

I quit a job with a manager who didn't think that "work-life balance" was valid.

Even in the face of a terrible economy. Engineering requires a functioning brain.

Perhaps the world would be a better place if more people took time off.

Twitter is working to make their developer ecosystem not smaller but more selective.

Goodnight from Old Guy News Tonight!

I despise articles like this.

Can you get hardware and software for free? Yes. You need to do a lot of hustling though to get the components, assemble the network and keep it running. Additional, electricity and internet access are never free. Someone has to maintain the network, install software and answer user questions.

You can't whip a linux network on a bunch of teachers and expected it to be useful. I can't even do that with IT professionals.

I use both FB and G+. FB is useful to friends and family. G+ is superior as a hobby news stream. G+ has a more focused, less cluttered UI.

And hangouts? FOR THE WIN.

I appreciate that this just one nerd's opinion. YMMV.

Agile is not a product. It is a mindset. Each team needs to workout what that means for them. I have been in teams for two companies that used Agile methods heavily and it has worked out very well for business units (predictable deliveries), developers (predictable work hours) and customers (higher quality releases).

I am positive Agile is not a silver bullet for every project. Software engineering is still a hard problem to generalize.

Man, how does The Onion continue to deliver such great comedy after all these years?

"...specifically, whether [the command line has] outlived its usefulness in this era of the GUI"

Great stuff! I am still laughing.

I don't need to explain why training terrorists might not be the best idea for our long term interest, right?

I have been using these for over 10 years:

These have fantastic fidelity, are lightweight and all around groovy.

Every other headphone I've used under $100 has some level of fail (yes, I am looking at you apple
earbuds) that makes me feel like I have just burned money.

Look, Java has issues, just as all software and development tools do. However, when I search for "java exploits" I see *a lot* of microsoft blogs running posts with this them. Is this just astroturfing?

Actually, I am saying we don't need to screen 4 year olds.

Seriously as a culture, we have lost our minds.
