Not necessarily, Google can perform the same trick as for the "Japan sea": for a long time Google Maps just removed the label: the sea had no name (Recently they gave it back to Japan...).

Well, if the source code is as intuitive and well designed as Photoshop, they've nothing to worry about.

In that case, we need nested comments /* /* */ */, because I'd put a /* on line one and a */ at the end...

While I basically agree with this - that's not enough. I've met great, willing and dedicated guys who did a fantastic development job for 99% of the project lines of code. The rest, 1% of the code, was typically what makes a difference when you hold a degree: algorithms. One guy had a hard time assessing the complexity of his own algorithms - even roughly - this is math. Another one had no clue about race conditions. The problem is the 1% may take 99% of the dev time to get identified / fixed / rewritten.

Please stop hiring unqualified people.

Waiting for 8.1.1

A bad hangover probably

Thanks Larry for providing a service I've been using for a long time.

However, while it's not written in TFS, there may be another reason while myOpenID was not that popular: reliability?
It is rather annoying when one cannot login to a bunch of sites because myOpenID is unreachable...

No Starch Press for instance.

Fortunately, Amazon is not alone on the online books market. Other companies (eg some publishers) sell books online along with a free PDF. This is why competition has to be kept alive, and Amazon should not be the only choice when it comes to purchasing books, movies or music.

What makes him -not- a whistleblower? He spotted illegal actions from his client (NSA) and used his privileges to prove him right.

Interesting. But, what do people expect? How the new one will be chosen? At the time, Gates didn't want to be eclipsed too easily, and his Jobs complex helping, he had someone not-that-charismatic-(...) taking over as CEO. Maybe this time MS will finally benefit from a competent leader? Someone from outside, obviously.

Obama requests a sworn person to have a look at Michelle's diary + contacts etc..., then make a copy kept in a private and secure place for sometime, and only report to him if there is something suspicious. Looks closer to reality...

Great, thanks! If I eat something bad and need to throw up, I'll use that pack

Well, "rm -rf / test" or "rm -rf /$x" where $x is empty are certainly dangerous if run as "root", but at least you may get a system crash before "/home/me" is reached - thus reinstalling the system while preserving the home FS may give you all your valuable data back.

Run as "me", the same command will not crash the system, but will surely destroy all what's important for you (if you keep the command running, like in a script).

Sure, handling particular cases is not best practice, but "/" certainly deserves a special mention in "rm", since the fatal "rm -rf / test /$x" does happen, even from experienced SysAdmins. Basically if any of "rm" args is "/", the command should simply abort with a message.

Too expensive. Too mature. Too protester. No, CIO prefer to hire younger and less experienced fellows. They're not better, just less expensive and easier to control.
