Re:Adobe Responds to Jobs on Thursday April 29, 2010 @11:10PM (#1307054)
i disagree. they ignored all the main points in apple's argument. a "This is why Flash is worthwhile" response is better than a "Well, at least we'll be on android."
Re:DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine for the past 7 months on Saturday April 03, 2010 @03:00AM (#1238346)
is there a catch? I feel like i genuninely do not find the things i find in google.

wonder if its just the way I'm used to knowing how to search. is seldom dont find exactly what i'm looking for google. seems like it would be more a waste of time to change my workflow... hmm....

this is one more reason to love google. they don't take themselves too seriously to allow stuff like that.
Re:Family or Career - Zero Sum Game? on Wednesday March 31, 2010 @08:03AM (#1231530)
it doesn't have to be a choice.. but for most startup oriented people it will probably become one. also probably unintentionally. they end up ignoring their kids etc...

i love my job and even though it gives me a lot of freedom to spend time with my family i still sometimes get so caught up i have to remind myself to focus on the family.

Re:The Decline of the English Department on Sunday February 28, 2010 @01:13AM (#1156548)
its true. the thing thats funny about this though is the understanding that if you go into English you're going to want to teach others. but apparently we English majors have failed.

i have an English degree... but I LOVE complex problem solving... hence the love for programming...

its difficult to pitch the old man and the sea to anyone with 1/2 a brain.

Re:The Decline of the English Department on Sunday February 28, 2010 @01:12AM (#1156545)
you can teach. or you can spend your life blogging poetry/prose in hopes of a life of non-obscurity.

but neither pays well... take it from me. an english major.
