If beer as a sports drink seems too good to be true, then get out of here, you naysayer, we don’t need your kind. Canadian company Vampt will be marketing “Recovery Ale” Lean Machine later this year, and according to science, that’s not as bad an idea as it sounds. "With glowing hearts we see thee rise"

I'd hit that.

the whole point of beer is that it contains alcohol

Yeah, only .5% in this. But that's the same as American beer, isn't it?

Programmer Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos who works for Red Hat, has discovered a major security problem with the Linux operating system—a bug that could allow a hacker to create a certificate that could bypass the normal authenticity checks.
...and we would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those damn kids and their programming dog!

First came ArnoldC, next we might see PHPacino, Cage++, JavaSheen or Objective-Cruise.
See what you started ArnoldC?!

SD Times has managed to do something I thought impossible.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Of course all these toy languages are nowhere near as obfuscable as C...
Stunning example of obfuscated C![^]

PC shipments had their deepest decline every in 2013, and 2014 doesn't look much better, according to IDC's latest forecasts. Does this mean that the PC apocalypse is finally upon us? "The horror! The horror!"

I'm not giving up my desktop computer anytime soon, but then I am not a typical home user.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

The market is saturated, and there is no compelling reason to upgrade any more.
|
|
|
|

The decline is due to windows 8 (Some love it lots don’t) and the way people use and don't use computers anymore.
They don't need a desktop pc to surf the web, share pictures, post to face book or twitter, read e-books and play some games.
Lots of people can only afford either a laptop or a desktop now that the general use laptop prices have dropped to the same as some desktops people will get the mobile device instead.
The desktop PC has become a specialty item now.
More used for bigger badder things (multiple graphics cards etc.) rather than a general computer as in the past do to the price of the mobile equipment (laptops, Phones) getting lower and the mobile phone being able to do more like a PC.
We will be getting back to the select few that build their own “PC” to get what they want like in the beginning of the PC boom.

Both desktop and laptop is declining, but desktops are declining the most and it's becoming a self fulfilling prophecy.
I have my desktop setup for six years and I'm probably not going to replace it because I wouldn't know what to buy next anyway, because the market is too niche to fit my needs.
Nowadays you basically have two options: gaming gear, or hardware designed for the laptop that's modified to fit on a desktop mobo.
The first is super expensive, super noisy, consumes a lot of electricity and usually looks ridiculous, the latter is just pointless because a laptop with a docking station is exactly the same thing, with the added benefit that you can carry it around and use if everywhere.

you could always build your own or just upgrade the motherboard and then go from there.
I usally start with the processor,then the motherboard. That narrows down the compatibale parts.

You may not realize it, but the amount of experience you have on your résumé may actually be hurting instead of helping your employment chances. Instead of showing your entire work history, you need to get crafty and adjust that résumé to a perfect blend of truth and obfuscation. "You can't put too much water on a nuclear reactor"

Wrong. (And the comparison says nothing).
I am what I am. You don't say you're silver when you're top 100 Grandmaster Zerg, do you?

I dunno - if I see "Anders Hejlsberg" on an incoming resume, I don't think I'd care what job he had after getting out of high school. You can prove Grandmaster Zergdom without mentioning everything.

Can be true. But if you need someone for an SQL admin, you won't be impressed by my C++ skills alone. But if I do have SQL skills, *that* will matter.
And I think it's not only a list of pieces of "I did this and that", but the whole picture. If someone stays only on a single thing, probably won't be any good of others. It's a collection of things, and every detail matters. My 0.02.

I think you can definitely have too much experience on your resume. The assumptions made about the type of work you will accept / enjoy are driven from how the manager perceives you. I can't tell you how many times I have been asked "why do you want this job with your experience" and you can't just say because I want to eat.

"Because I want to try something else", maybe?
