OK list not great. Missing Brendan Eich and Grady Booch.

"Apple's management feels Bromwich is interfering with the company's day-to-day operations by requiring that he be permitted to conduct lengthy meetings with their top brass on an ongoing basis." This is a red herring. As long as there is due process a company needs to comply. I cant get out of a speeding ticket because it took time for the police officer time to write out a citation can I?

I would be curious if Verizon owned the land upon which their networks travel or are they offered easements by the government. In this case the market would not be entirely free.

The moment you step up to a device with a screen and method of input you are a computer programmer

As far as I can tell, the ruling is not a ruling on net neutrality per se but whether or not the net neutrality rules recently imposed are applicable to a company who is in the business of providing a computer tranmission network is not classified as common carrier according to the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The problem was that the lawmakers of 1996 regarded the transmission of voice data to be deemed worthy of common carrier status and that the transmission of computer data as not worthy of common carrier status. This was incredibly shortsighted corrupt. Seems like the solution would be to classify the companies that provide internet services as common carriers. AmIright?

I have a computer that behaves just fine for me and the kids, no matter what we do. The minute my wife needs to do something urgent, she gets a blue screen or the network or the printer craps out. That, my friends, is true pain. (It's probably it's revenge on her for powering down the entire house on everyone as a joke)

Chez Paul would have been at the top of my list but its closed :(. You would have to be a pretty hardcore Blues Brothers fan to go through this but here is the list... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080455/locations[^]

You can go see all the places from "Ferris Buellers Day Off" or the "Blues Brothers"

You can try it but the best Chicago Style pizza is from Zacharys pizza in Oakland California. Just a subway trip away from San Francisco. I mention this because I know that a lot of dev conventions are in San Francisco.

Please help the clueless. What is the meaning of all this?

Surely we can't forget to thank you Canada, for Barenakedladies as well.

He needs a service called likesRogerWaters. It should return a boolean

Good advice. For coding and for any jobs in general

Are you monitoring with an http monitor to see what the ajax requests look like. Something like http watch or fiddler work well

So what about search engines that do not respect robots. Would it help him to put the website in a password protected area? Or is that too much?

I hate it when people introduce pet peeves I never knew existed. I was getting along fine without this one and now I'm annoyed and have you J4asmieC to thank for that.

Thanks. This is my new wallpaper

It sounds like you have a smart son. And it's great that he trusts you with this very important question. Judging by you post I'm sure you also gave him a thoughful answer. Last week was the week of project DARE, but the fires in Southern California kept our schools closed for the week so we missed it. I catch myself when I warn my kids about stuff all the time. Climbing furninture, household chemicals, sharp utensils. Does the the explanation of the danger increase the appeal that they will try it? There's a lot of handwringing over the effectiveness of Project DARE, but like others said he's going to find out about it sooner or later. I wouldn't stress about institutional influences too much. You can't realistically control all of them. Shielding too much is probably more harmful. Better that kids take what they see and reflect with the parents. (commment: ha-ha I just realized I'm trying to apply a software architecture pattern to raise my kids!) IMHO Probably the number one cause of substance abuse is poor family dynamics. Kids who are ignored or abused turn to substances to fill that void in their lives. So long as kids have a good home environment they should be fine.
