In a way I agree. Software developers existed before Al Gore invented the intarwebs, so clearly CackOverload isn't an essential prerequisite.

OTOH, in a way I disagree. Things moved slowly enough then that books, magazines & training courses could keep up.

You're a total fucking idiot. Really.

The biggest issue is that programming languages are all written by coders, for coders.

I don't see why that's a bad thing. Do you think it would it be better if they were written by bakers, for carpenters?

If you travel a lot, then being able to hook it up to a hotel room TV and watch a film can be quite nice.

Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more.

Yeah, call it music if you want. I suppose there's some chackawacka guitar and saxophone in the background...

I should clarify that only editorial staff would be let go

If you're not going to shoot the UX team then count me out.

Google developers do not understand how to design APIs.

Or UIs.

It's all halo effect. I think Google got search right (or less wrong than everyone else at the crucial time - just when AltaVista tried to turn into a portal and became utter poo) and have pretty much ridden that, with financial and reputational cross subsidies, ever since.

Sooner or later they'll run out of credit, one kind or the other.

Alternatively, it could just merge with Hot Hardware or Technology Trends.

I'm willing to bet it's a smaller amount of people who want a physical keyboard than those who don't. In which case, you're not a profitable enough segment for the companies who make phones

You're saying that only the most popular option is profitable? I guess that explains why there isn't, and never has been, a manufacturer of absolutely anything at all that produces two different models.

P.S. People aren't sand. It's number with a countable noun, not amount .

It's cleverer than writing "you can't spell, you thick fat fucking Alaskan cunt".

What's your motivation, skids?

Do you mean 'self-righteous' perhaps? No spaces are needed around the hyphen.

Crapdot put those, not me. I just put <B><I> (and the corresponding closes, which I can't be arsed to ampersand out).

In this case, self-righteous is actually a defined word - I am pretty sure.

It is. You originally wrote it without the hyphen, hence my emphasis which Cowboy Neal's shitty code proceeded to totally fuck up.

A propulsion device provides thrust? Whatever next!

If you saw it in other systems (say animal populations versus food supply, or elevator position versus AoA in planes) that'd support my theory that it's baked into the fundamentals of mathematics that when you get a stimulus, a response and a big delay before the effect it'll oscillate like a breakdancing porpoise.

But that's crazy talk.

I thought they had normal length fingers, but a non-standard number?

Or perhaps I'm getting them confused with West Virginians.
