On October 13 1994, it was announced that the “Netscape network navigator” browser would be made available to download by anyone, initially as a public beta. So, there are probably people in the workforce younger than the 'commercial' Web

Want to switch between programming languages? These sites show developers how to bridge the gap between languages and frameworks. "My hovercraft is full of eels"

Is that really the word for eels? Seems a little anti-British (of course, they're pretty much the only ones foolish enough to eat them)

Run it, and your phone can be part of a vast cosmic ray detector. "Not enough people in this world, I think, carry a cosmic perspective with them. It could be life-changing."

I think they should focus on developing a decent web site first, I can't imagine any cosmic ray wanting to visit that monstrosity.

You aren't a big fan of "big buttons, Illuminati symbol, and not much else" websites?

Well, I guess it's sort of cute. I can imagine myself as a cosmic particle plunging down the web page. *groan*

Ted Neward - Video from the 33rd Degree conference[^]
A bit long (1 hr 20) and occasionally sweary (so headphones advised if you are watching at work ) but a good overview of why the relationship between managers and developers is so fraught and what we could do to build a kinder, more gentle world...

Microsoft has focused on how businesses will benefit from its next operating system, Windows 10, not only because corporate customers are its bread and butter, but to prevent consumers from balking at buying new PCs, an analyst said last week. "How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree?'"

Isn't PC dead already?
So what is better? Let customers postpone the next purchase of Windows or let them buy some *nix machine?

Software development has evolved a plethora of techniques to identify and eliminate defects. Practices to find out about defects quickly. And practices to hopefully avoid introducing defects. Developers

Before saying there are defects in softwares, atleast try to understand the pain we have to go through.

I know no developer who ever delivered defective software - the problem that the end user using a completely different hardware/software environment than that used by the developer...

Developers try to build better and better software idiot-proof.
The universe try to build better and better idiots.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Hey, "It Works On My Machinetm"
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

The primary cause of defects in software is building software that shouldn’t be built in the first place.
At first I thought that was a ridiculous point, then I thought maybe he's on to something, especially if you consider all the little pieces of code that make an app, then I thought, no, his point really is BS.

OK, OK. Everyone ganging up on poor widdle me. I put 'developers' there for the simple reason that "if there's a defect in the code, whoever wrote the code must be the one that put it there." But yeah, much of the time it's spec errors, or PEBKAC, or even POOM. That's just not very pithy.

POOM? Other than something that appears exceptionally vulgar from urban dictionary, Google isn't showing me any potential acronyms when I searched on that.
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?

Sorry, we used to use it a lot to explain software errors, but I guess it was local. PooM or POOM: Phase of the Moon. For those errors with no other useful explanation.
