First priority is going to be to make everyone log in by using their Facebook accounts, isn't it? That will be lovely!

What are the practical applications for a breakthrough like this? Other than for a government that wants to do some redacting of their documents.

If they gave him life without parole in the case where he was convicted of soliciting murder for hire I don't think many would object. I don't think you don't have to be a fanatic free-for-all idiot to feel it doesn't quite sit right if these allegations influence his sentencing in another case.

The Onion is a more credible news source than The Sun.

When you've managed to go from 4 years minimum to 6 months probation then maybe you've reached the point where you don't think it's worth pushing your luck any further.

You were annoying the developers because you were doing it the wrong way. Your factor of four speed doc writing improvement comes out of the developer interruption budget.

Are you sleeping sitting up?

Having "auto download" turned on has been perfectly fine for non idiots who've managed their library themselves until this unexpected meddling by someone else. Now, of course, the non idiots will have to turn what they might have felt was a useful feature off since we've learnt that Apple will be using it as a promotional tool.

Yes it's far better to reinvent the wheel yourself. After all, you're the only one competent enough to make a decent wheel.

Why not store it all in 20000 github repositories?

In how many real world programming situations rather than college test situations would you be required to write your code down on paper rather than be able to use some sort of IDE? I'm sure you felt great about the test but generally being used to start typing the statement and letting IntelliSense give you a list and filling in the blanks in is not a problem and a more productive way of doing things than the non lazy way.

For those who don't know about english football: Tottenham have some sort of jewish connection, not quite sure exactly what at the moment but anyway, and their fans frequently refer to themselves as 'yids'. That's why opposing fans would choose this angle to bait them.

I was once asked to move a checkbox from the bottom to the top of a panel so that the user wouldn't have to tab through all the other textfields and things in the panel to get focus to the checkbox. I was then asked to change the focus traversal so that tabbing through the panel skipped the checkbox (yes, really) so they wouldn't have to tab past it every time they wanted focus on the first textfield. These requests came from the same user.

He wanted to fly the shuttle to the sun.

That sounds like Airplane II: The Sequel. In that case I think it's ok that some scientific realism was sacrificed.

That's how I learnt. I was also lucky enough to have an admin on the mud that made sure the wizards she was in charge of understood the importance of writing good code and not just nice descriptions for players. It made me interested enough to switch major and when it was time to do the OO stuff in school I'd already groked it. Basically I have Lars Pensjà to thank for my career.
