I got an interview with Google in 1999, and I had the opportunity to have lunch with Craig. He never mentioned to me that he was the 1st employee at the time.

I do remember what he asked me. I was interviewing for the job of initializing their QA department. He asked me how I would look for problems in an indexer that stored MILLIONS (ha) of pages. I had to ask what exactly an indexer was.

On the way out, I spent too much time flirting with the hot red head they had at the front desk, and Larry walked by and saw what I was doing. I don't think that's why I didn't get the job though.

DAMMMMMNN I wish I got that job!!!!!!!!

This man has done more for my understanding of JavaScript than anyone else. My abilities took a huge leap after reading his clear and deep explanations that get to the heart of JavaScript's design:

Douglas Crockford's JavaScript articles

He covers prototypical inheritence, classical inheritence, how to create private members, closures, engine performance, and other widely misunderstood aspects of javascript. HIGHLY recommended.

Actually this doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Seems to me that linux crashes a lot more than windows at this point. If your computer doesn't get Linux support directly from the manufacturer, it's very possible that running Linux smoothly on it will be a bitch. Example, my HP DV4-3011TX laptop.

To be fair though, Symantec does do quite a bit of offshoring, with development offices in Beijing and Chengdu, amongst other places in Asia.

Nice platitude, but you are exposing yourself as a mindless parrot.

You might as well tell people to beware of rednecks and niggers while you are at it.

Speaking of which, why am I even still on this site. You can find everything on reddit as well, which now has a much more active community than slashdot. The founders of Slashdot have bailed, and Slashdot is dying.

So they won't inadvertently support the patenting of genes? Maybe it's about IP for some people. When it comes to software, IP is a big deal to the slashdot crowd, but apparently not the same for genes.

If they are technically different, why can't they taste different? What makes you such an expert that you are sure they don't taste different? Have you done double blind side by side comparisons of GM vs non-GM food? Or are you just a blindly faithful GM proponent?

Fuck AMD. I specifically bought an HP D4-3011TX notebook due to it's relatively powerful Radeon HD 6750, and as it turns out the douchebags at AMD aren't going to put out a Linux driver that supports it. Their standard Windows driver doesn't even support it - you've got to use the old one from HP. And I DID do my research on this before purchasing. I couldn't find anything anywhere that stated that they wouldn't support it, and in fact everything on their site indicates that their drivers support the 6750. The laptop happens to also have an intel graphics processor, and AMD won't support chipsets that switch between two graphics processors. Assholes. I have to buy a new laptop because of this.
