    The Creepy-Rapey Side of E3

    People like you are the problem. Assuming everything in the post is true, the stories shed light on unacceptable behavior and point out that it's an issue. Where in the post does it say that they didn't have options or couldn't get away? (Oh, actually, one story does say something to that...

    Recommendations for a software development laptop?

    Haha yup, that's exactly where I tried one out. I actually ended up rolling the dice a little bit and going with a Y500. From what I read, the battery life is pretty abysmal and the trackpad has issues. Like you suggested, I'll just get a mouse and deal with the crappy trackpad whenever I'm...

    Recommendations for a software development laptop?

    Good call on the ThinkPad keyboards. I went into a store and tried one out, it definitely feels a LOT better than the MBP's. That being said, the trackpad is textured and I'm not sure I like it at all. Does anyone else have one of those textured trackpads? Do you get used to it after a...

    Recommendations for a software development laptop?

    Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy a laptop so I can do some application development on the go. Most of the programming will be C++ using VS 2012. Here are things I'm looking for: - 15" display, at least 1440 x 900 resolution - i5 - Good keyboard. I realize this is highly subjective, so...

    The 25 Best-Paying Companies For Software Engineers

    Lol wow... I was ready to call BS on this but it turns out that figure is in the ball park... http://www.bestplaces.net/col/?salary=120000&city1=50667000&city2=54805000 That being said, I still disagree with this sentiment. To many people, making 120k in San Francisco is NOT the same as...

    Internet Tax Proposal Up For Vote This Week

    Well, no, not at all. I wouldn't expect a state with no sales tax to start charging a sales tax for online purchases. I'm have no idea where you drew that conclusion from and I'm not 100% sure what your point is. In any case, I'm flattered that one of my posts got quoted by Steve...

    Internet Tax Proposal Up For Vote This Week

    That sounds like it would be as cheap or cheaper than maintaining grounded warehouses on the mainland and distributing from them. I'm sure that wouldn't have an effect on prices at all. Sarcasm aside, even getting things shipped from Canada is is going to induce some logistical overhead.

    Internet Tax Proposal Up For Vote This Week

    I call bullshit on this. The cost and logistics of reliably getting things imported from overseas will make the 5% tax or whatever well worth it. Sigh... I hate when these articles surface. If you REALLY don't want meet your legal obligation to pay taxes then maybe you should move to a...

    Order One iPad, Get Five From Best Buy

    Seriously... I'm amazed that only a couple of people seem to share this sentiment. Companies are always vilified (Best Buy in particular) and consumers are always viewed as helpless victims. If the roles has been reversed and Best Buy accidentally charged her for 5 ipads when she only ordered...

    Need help with a rebuild of a software development machine

    My machine has been experiencing weird stability issues for almost a year now ( http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1648541 ). Since posting this thread, I've replaced the RAM and swapped out the video card to no avail. I work from home and lately it's gotten a lot worse, so I'm looking to...

    We Don’t Need Game Publishers, Hardware Makers or Retailers

    Aren't eBooks substantially cheaper for the end consumer? Isn't it cheaper to stream two Netflix movies a month than to rent two from a brick and mortar shop? You can pay $10/mo for a service like Rhapsody and listen to all kinds of music, cheaper than the price of one CD. If you're OK with...
