Should have been in reply to the guy who is a shining example of the fact that someone can graduate at the bottom of their class and still manage to practice medicine.

There have always been politicians. Government is an organization with the monopoly on violence, and politicians are the people who control those who "are allowed" to inflict violence on others.
Even Somalia has a government, it's just spread out among tribes and gangs, each of which have the monopoly on violence in the area that they control. And those that control those tribes and gangs are politicians.

I presume you are aware that Ian Astbury of The Cult said on stage that they would be touring in 2008 in support of a reformed band whose two part name started with L and Z?

Who owns their rights though? Is it actually the band themselves/bad advice or management or some outside entity?

"the iPhone SDK and Google’s Android both have the most momentum when it comes to offering meaningful ways for third party developers to build mobile applications. Taking into account their out-of-the-gate lead, the name of Microsoft’s offering already seems a little ironic"

You are kidding right? How does the iPhone and Android have an out of the gate lead?

Symbian, Windows Mobile, et al have been on the market for years with millions of devices sold and thousands of applications in the market place.

Re: Interview Questions: Two Bowling Balls | 20bits

Those are some intelligent, logical solutions you've provided. Kudos on your cleverness and ability to figure that out on the spot in an interview setting.

I probably would have turned the question around on the interviewer and asked how resilient the bowling ball needed to be? Did it need to survive 10 floors? 15? Why were we doing the resiliency test in the first place? Developers who take the requirements at face value without understanding the motivation aren't nearly as valuable as the ones who can see past what is being asked for and find a simpler solution that delivers the underlying need.

If it turned out we just needed it to survive falling from 15 stories, I would have dropped one ball from the 15th floor window and if it survived it passed our test otherwise it didn't. One step, and we save a ball.

If there's one thing I've learned from working in software, it's that what the customer wants and what they ask for can be completely different things.
It's my opinion that these computer generated climate models that the alarmist love to tout are a result not of giving the customer what they asked for, but rather what they want.
Politically motivated studies serve one purpose, and that is to justify policy.
Handing politicians complete control over our energy supplies is giving them absolute power over our lives.

You probably did in recovery mode, put in DFU mode and repeat the whole process, then it should work. For further info on the difference, check out google and youtube

Before you freak out (oops, too late), this functionality is no different than a web cam, if you add AppleScript/Javascript/WhateverScript to upload to a web server.

Big deal.

Re: Exclusive interview with artist/producer T-Pain, who is know for his use of Antares Auto-Tune.

TC — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 11:07:43 -0000

He doesn't want to sound the same and continues to change things he says, but his auto-tune thing is in everything he does, so he DOES sound the same! He can't sing!

What's with all the dark stuff, this guy is a real turn-off! Do interviews of people who are positive artists please. Enough of this music for sad rich kids.

Re: Why Apple nixed my iPhone app

TC — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:32:14 -0000

You've got no information about other apps in the store that may be pending release and named whatever.

Perhaps Apple has info that you don't and is acting reasonably. Someone beat you to the bell and you simply don't realize it...
