An engineer's value can be exponential and can even go well beyond their own lifespan.

Sales and marketing impact is immediate and falls off over time while engineering's impact is slow and can speed up over time.

Your body craves what it is used too. It takes some length of time before your body adjusts what it's used to. In my experience this is 1-2 months depending on how radical the change. Every month you go on with a given diet seems to amplify the effect.

So the real trick is to spend 1 month suffering (don't eat a single bit of candy) and then make the much easier choice to limit yourself to some reasonable amount (1 per week, for instance).

Well, I've done a racing game over a typical cable connection and it was incredible. I really couldn't tell -- and that's crazy because I've been doing game development for a decade and can spot FPS rates to about a 2 frame accuracy.

What is with this crazy negativity around OnLive? I thought you guys liked new things -- don't be a hater!

The OnLive uses a crazy proprietary algorithm to get a ton of juice out of your line. The guy working on it is one of the most brilliant engineers I know.

The FDA is here to protect you. If they didn't regulate testing of the anti-venom, how would you know it wouldn't kill you?
