You trippin' nigga

Youtube Videos still continue to play even when the tab is closed. The video stops rendering sometimes yet the audio continues. The browser itself freezes a lot. I get 'firefox is running but not responding' messages all the time. I don't see the fuss. It's bloated crap IMO

Publishers get to allow or block particular types of adverts for their site/app. The degree of control they have is huge, if you're getting intrusive adverts complain to the publisher, not the advertising industry.

I see you've never had a parse a compilation error when using boost (C++)

The first thing I look at when looking at interview candidates code is their style. I don't care particularly if it's not the same as mine, but I do care if there's no consistency to their own style. I'm talking about hurried formatting, trying to squeeze everything into the least number of lines, mixed naming conventions, bad spelling in comments, even down to things like inconsistent spacing. Maybe I'm a prude but if I'm going to be looking at this person's coding output all day it better at least be readable. That Linux managed to maintain a consistent coding style with so many contributors is an admirable feat. As for beautiful algorithms, I quite like the simplicity of Dijkstra's shortest path.

It doesn't work, Flash can still take down Firefox pretty regularly

1366x768 just doesn't cut it, no matter how many OSes you stick on it.

A reinstall seemed to fix what was broken by changing the graphics card. Whatever hardware detection is done on startup is far better than what I could do afterwards.

LOL I'm not paid to figure out how to configure xconf, but I did give it a shot though. It would crash everything randomly. A reinstall was quicker and therefore cheaper.

Does that include the tool you have to download and run in order to download the installer?

I use Linux in work, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I had to reinstall it when I changed graphics card because it kept crashing (kernel too). I'm afraid to plug a second monitor in in case it causes the same thing to happen. I seriously considered installing Win7 on the machine and running Linux under VMWare. That's what I do on my laptop.

*sigh*

I installed fresh ATI graphics drivers today. 90MB for a driver. .Net 4.5 needed to be installed. GTFO.

Here, here. The artful side of programming is never talked about, it's up there with architecture if you ask me.

If there's anything that'll kill any interest in a subject its having to adhere to a Government approved curriculum. They're kids, let them play in the sun/puddles and fall out of trees for a few years before allowing them to sit in front of a computer all day.
