First mistake - becoming an "XML programmer". Programmer? Really? - James

"the best thing that's happened to the U.S. in a long time" and the worst thing that's ever happened to the GOP. I thought I would never vote for her, but her ex-future-son-in-law's photos for Playgirl have me reconsidering... - James

This Representative is a complete moron. - James

USA Today? I don't think anyone reads it. If you do, switch to The Economist. You'll be smarter, have less stress, and you're life will just be better in general. - James

Boycott Flickr! (I wasn't using Flickr before, so that's easy for me to do.) Actually, I hate boycotts. Your are better off just voicing your concern to Flickr and taking this opportunity to come up with a migration strategy for moving content off Flickr so you're prepared if you happen to find an equivalent or better file sharing service. Personally, although it's not free and not primarily for photos, I think SugarSync is the bomb for online storage. - James

This just gets better by the minute. My bet is he'll still be re-elected. - James

Sorry, Yahoo, I don't care. - James

Here's one sure way to kill health care reform. Good going Democrats! - James

I'd like to see this on my company's intranet. - James

100% agreement. This has clearly been Google's strategy for years. Android should have made this obvious. And it seems the management at Google is enlightened enough to let the innovation engine run at full steam, and have no intention of standing in the way of new ideas. - James

In summary, it's not the idea, it's the execution. - James

I love the "mushroom theory of management" - James

Even if the reason for the soaring costs is the millions that DO have medical coverage. - James

Microsoft developers, like the rest of us, want to use compilers that keep up with the standards. Just a bit ironic. - James

Fantastic pictures of Carnival being celebrated (read: awesome chick with enormous bosom). - James

Every new hire in software development should read this. - James

This is pretty exciting stuff. - James

I'd hardly call it an alternative. Nobody using the Jackson Terminal would know what to do with a Bloomberg. - James

This is pretty cool. I already signed up to trackle celebrity news on Britney. I need to know. I'm also set to be alerted when the value of my home goes back up to my purchase price :( - James

Gorgeous pictures of London. - James

Better than seeing a rise in male breast *augmentation*. - James

Government never learns from its own mistakes. Lots of industries create jobs. Broadband isn't special. This nonsense about falling behind other countries is ridiculous. If extra bandwidth could make money, why wouldn't ISP's invest on their own? I respect that the current credit crunch must be limiting their ability to do so, but this bill has nothing to do with that and there's no reason to think the broadband industry is more deserving than others. So the government's going to pay ISP's to make investments the ISP's have already judged to be bad ones, presumably because there's not enough of a market to support it. And when the networks are built and no one is buying the bandwidth, will the ISP's be forced to cut prices and make losses? This is the sort of brilliant government thinking that brought us the bridge to nowhere. - James

I wish I had heard about this earlier. Don't think I'd have the cajones to wear these shirts though. - James

Have to wonder why they didn't do this a long time ago. - James

Congratulations, Medvedev! You got your name associated with an actual decision. - James
