Well, it will be interesting to hear what google has to say but meanwhile there seems to be a lot of people with axes to grind with google.On the other hand, what's taking so long, google should have given a statement on the issue.

I think the real solution would be to avoid cutting off from society.Most experienced and stable techies have wives and some kids, this helps them keep their sanity.Having to go home to a loving wife and some children really refreshes a man and brings calmness to his mind.In my experience, techies with a family tend to be mentally balanced.

I think age is definitely a factor, between the ages of 19 to 24 most people have a technical brilliance but don't have the mental experience to deal with emotional stress that comes with failure and increased demands.

Reminds me of a time i had a similar bug.The more i tried the more i found it hard to discover the bug.One approach i usually use is to take a timeout and relax.But in your position there was no time for relaxing.

The secret of samsung is that they cater for multiple price ranges, also the use of android is proving to be a good advantage over the now dying nokia.Despite the launch of the lumia, nokia and microsoft aren't likely to win in this race.

I have to agree with the fact that one has to be patient when it comes to programming,it takes time because its skill that needs to be mastered by repetition.Also it doesn't improve you if you always code alone,large projects are done by teams so it is important to start working with other coders as soon as possible.

I think it all comes down to the saying that "a tool is as good as it's user",you can have the latest hardware,software but it makes no sense if they don't add to your productivity or they slow you down instead of helping achieve your goal.

I once had an experience where i was sold a fake piece of equipment.I proceeded to ask for warranty but the store owner told me they don't give warranties for such type of products.So i insisted for a warranty.Surprisingly he pulled out the original and authentic version and wrote me a warranty.apparently they seem to know that some are genuine and some are counterfeit.

I think sooner or later computing power is going to increase to the point of making bicrypt look like md5 or lesser,i think what matters is protecting the hash.
