So your top-notch, picture-perfect, super-duper OS doesn’t support one of the most basic things ever invented - cut and paste. What do you do about it?
a) “It’s not like that because it’s DANGEROUS!”
b) “This is not an issue, I’d never cut a file anyway!”
c) “My OS is perfect, it doesn’t need a fuckin’ cut+paste…”
All very [...]

W00t! FoodFeed allows you to “tweet” (is it a verb already) about your eating habits and let your friends (or people you don’t know, whatever) know about all the unhealthy stuff you consume every day.
Hmm, that got me thinking. What if I launch crappr.com (a twitter-clone where anyone will be able to tell the world [...]

Now that’s a nice bashing post: Armin Rochaner criticizes one of the most protected OS of all times (even surpassing Linux, lately) and the ghetto attitude that is infecting “factions” of the developer’s world (most specifically RoR and it’s legions of cultists and new evangelists).
Religion sucks. Evangelism and religious attitudes at technology suck even more [...]

Serious, people, is all that April’s Fool BS still funny at all for anyone? Leave that for Google, for god’s sake… At least their BS tends to be funny and creative. And no, your little jokes definitely are NOT!
I guess the best advise of all is ‘just turn off the Internets and come back tomorrow’…

It’s hard to find good C++ developers. Being such a relatively hard language to start with, it’s even hard to find lousy C++ developers, sometimes. It’s interesting to notice that such curve clearly changes as programming languages get ‘easier’ to grasp: cleaner syntaxes, garbage collection facilities, less build/link/compile/deploy steps, more openly available libraries - the [...]

Today the site that has become my ‘morning newspaper’ of acid comments and sad-but-true nerd humor - The Daily What the Fuck (ops… Worse than Failure) - published something different. A very thorough and complete essay on one of the biggest plagues that infects nine out of ten IT projects (besides the Software Architects, of [...]

There’s a theory that says that when a butterfly flaps its wings in England, tornadoes strike on the other side of the Pacific.
10 months ago, I’ve come up with a Kamasutra photoset on Flickr. Some guy even commented in one of the photos. “Hey, I’m gonna do something like that with my toys too”. And [...]

Right now I have two office suites, two calculators, two notepads, three bootsplash managers, two grub themes, two power management services, three network managers, two mp3 players (that don’t play mp3 out of the box, of course - legal reasons implied). And that’s because I uninstalled two of the three window managers that come along [...]

The web 2.0 might have You the man of the year. But it won’t make us all geniuses or artists.
Infinite monkeys typing on a tape machine couldn’t possibly produce something worse than this: a living proof of what web 2.0 “user generate content” ends up like: useless, superficial, half-baked media and collaborative noise.
… I won’t be laughing at the lies when I’m gone And I can’t question how or when or why when I’m gone Can’t live proud enough to die when I’m gone So I guess I’ll have to do it when I’m here.
