How can this comment not get modded up? I actually laughed.

I have it on my to-do list to record it. The live footage in full quality will air on Discovery Channel on Sun. January 27th on a show called "Monster Squid: The Giant is Real". I suspect until then it will be hard to find good quality footage.

Welcome to 1992. The last three companies I worked for (AT&T, Nokia, and a startup) did not have desk phones. They're dinosaurs.

I don't buy it for a minute. My kids have tons of Lego sets. Yes, they build the thing on the box, but then later, they tear it apart and build a million other things too.

I know my rights. We print our our Schrute bucks whenever we need them!

Well I have a patent on zero, void, null, and None. I expect a royalty of 1 per use.

Actually Apple's business model is "beat 'em, then sue 'em anyway". As a shareholder of Apple, I approve.

If you think Apple is losing in the smartphone or the tablet market, you're not looking very closely.

The app is already gone off the App store, at least in the US.

Clearly, as usual, nobody did their research. I quote the Blizzard Community Manager:

So what if you fail? You get up and try again. There is tons of VC and angel funding out there for people with a good work ethic and some new ideas. Honestly, the idea is the hard part. Once you get past that it's not really hard at all to make a living at it.

I'm at a startup now after 10+ years at large mega-corporations. It's fun to be back at a company where people actually like to come to work.

Just saying. Been there, done that.

Null Pointer Exceptions?

BASIC still exists, and so does Pascal, but honestly, why not use a real language?

Python has always been trivial to get started in. I taught my 9 year old to program in python in a few hours.
Java is easy to use, and the syntax is clean.
C# is basically a clone of java, so the same applies there.

You don't need to learn object orientation to use any of these languages. Sure, you probably SHOULD, but you can learn java programming solely in the main() if you just want to learn the basics. Even moreso with python, you can program in the interpreter at first, then move to running the code from files, then later migrate into an object oriented approach.

I'm married with kids, 37 years old, and a non-smoker. I've never had surgery or any serious medical claim, nor has anyone in my family.

My insurance is roughly $14,000 per year, if you count what my employer pays, and the coverage isn't even that good. Tell me how that's reasonable. The only reason to have insurance anymore is to avoid catastrophic illness, to be honest, and if you do have that your insurance company will probably just try to drop you anyway. It's the most corrupt, immoral, evil institution in the business world.
