Wow, Slashdot has really gone downhill. Pass the Brawndo.

Never met ya, but I feel like I know ya. This place is losing its heart and soul today, I'm afraid. But you're right of course, it's time for you to set sail. Looking forward to seeing what you do next...

Well, you could think of it as a reference to a dotfile at the root. But the above is the official explanation.

I'm pretty sure he's going for a Funny mod. Hey, I laughed. And I'm over 40 :-D

Because all the corporations in the Android ecosystem are not litigious assholes. They are kind, generous, and deeply care about the geeks and the hackers. :-|

The notion that 99.99% of iOS users are not downloading and using apps is laughable.

At least it gave the burners something to do other than annoy the shit out of SF 11 months per year.

That should be cheap to replace when a rock hits it.

Bzzzzt! iOS handles viewing and saving PDF's fine. Thank you for playing "I Bashed Apple on Slashdot". Try again.

You have crystallized my thoughts, sir. "Hey can you waste a bunch of time training and working with someone who will be out the door in short time?" God I fucking hate it. Training new people sucks, it's a drain on resources, and you want me to do it for no gain? Oh hell no.

No, I'm not saying that previous upgrades *might* have broken compatibility, they definitely *did* break compatibility, and there have been cases where, had I known that I would have just started a new project and been much better off. Sometimes it's better to just admit you can't do backwards compatibility and get on with it. I stopped expecting FCP to support projects from previous versions long ago.

It's better than previous FCP upgrades , which claimed to open old files but actually changed things in subtle ways that you didn't realize until it was too late. At least now you KNOW the new behavior.

Totally agreed. Never hire guys like this.

I had the same reservations before going to college, and I ended up going anyway. I was totally wrong, and it was the best decision I ever made. But I guess you won't have the chance to make that judgement.

His question was NOT well thought out. He thinks he already knows everything, so education is a waste of time. I'd never hire him for any position, especially anything development-related.
