Re:What's wrong with the iPhone 4s, and why Jobs is not my hero on Friday October 07, 2011 @10:44AM (#3084184)
Every one have/can express their own opinion being said that but speaking about some one dead recently on the merits of subjective term ('hero') is quite distasteful (IMHO) and makes me sad, makes me even sadder since it came from some one i respect.

I'm not a fan boy ( never owns a Apple made products so far) just that i don't think its going to constructive for any one around here, YMMV

Re:Programmers' Day on Tuesday September 13, 2011 @03:54AM (#2990429)
Great day to quote from Dijkstra's good old article. At that time(1957) programming was not considered as a profession!

Extract from Humble Programmer[1]

"..in 1957, I married and Dutch marriage rites require you to state your profession and I stated that I was a programmer. But the municipal authorities of the town of Amsterdam did not accept it on the grounds that there was no such profession. And, believe it or not, but under the heading "profession" my marriage act shows the ridiculous entry "theoretical physicist"!.."

Not really, Amazon web services launched Elastic Cache based on Memcache thats Dotcloud's meal. Since Amazon is mostly customer driven more the need for specific platform AWS will launch likely.
