I was using an i7-3770k with an HD4000. It doesn't get any more generic than that. I'm not going to go out of my way to check if hardware is "Ubuntu cerftified", unless I'm going to lose my mind someday. There simply is no benefit in doing so, as long as other distros such as Mint (at least for me, I've heard of people having lots of issued with Mint too) or Windows work pretty much flawlessly

Well my attempt at running Ubuntu 12.04 convinced me that Ubuntu is Satan:

- Both network and wireless drivers weren't working, so I had to go to a different machine and dig up some some sources from some obscure blog, copy them to a pen drive, go back, compile and install.

- What's that, you want to update anything? Well fuck you, I'll rollback the network drivers you installed.

- What's that, you're trying to watch more than 5 youtube videos in a row? Fuck you, Compiz has crashed!

- While you were sleeping last night, I threw away all the stuff that you had on your desktop. Also, you can't right click on it anymore. What's that, did you right click more than 5 times in anger? Fuck you, Unity has crashed!

- You're trying to search the web for solutions to all these crashes? Fuck you, Compiz has crashed! Also, your mouse and keyboard don't work anymore. Have fun rebooting by holding your power button.

- What's that, you didn't pay attention to me for more than 5 minutes and I went to sleep? Well I'll just replace your screen with gibberish.

- What's that, you want to step out without people replacing your desktop background? Well I'll just hide this password prompt and show you a nice picture of your desktop background instead.

- What's that, you're trying to listen to music? Don't you just miss the old days when the cd would skip on a regular basis? I sure do! Besides, I don't like your music so as a bonus, Compiz has crashed!

- What's that, you're in a dark environment and you want to reduce the brightness? Well fuck you, everything has crashed. But here, I'll just run this awesome flashlight app that maximizes your brightness. Have fun going blind, asshole.

This last occurrence is the moment when I decided to format this hellspawn and go back to Mint.

In short, you simply appear to be an active-aggresive douchebag. Just because something works for you, doesn't mean it does for everyone.

I feel like this is just another dumbed down space-aliens-lazors-whatever browser game where the progression involves waiting for the next day or spamming forums with an affiliate registration link. I'll pass.

I totally agree that you'd want to hire some people way more than others, but the process for hiring your interns/entry levelers should be in a sense the lowest common denominator. As in, the more you want to hire someone, the more "features" you add to the process (eg. Paid flights, airport pickup, respond to emails withing 24 hours, whatever), instead of just treating lesser value candidates worse, if that makes sense.

I'm sure a lot of senior level engineers would think twice before working for a company that treated them poorly when applying in the past, even for an internship.

What are you trying to say? I don't get it.

Even if I overlook the auto-update part, the phone is still locked, and I don't seem to me able to restore it in iTunes. Hopefully DFU + restore will work.

Also, interesting to note how this post went from the front page & top of the ask page, to nowhere to be found instantly.

Well I'm sorry if the blame is on me, but I need to have an iPhone since I develop for ios. I also have an Android phone and a WP, if it makes you feel any better.

Very informative article

He should have done it in Wingdings too

That was my first thought as well.

I'm actually doing something similar for a project I'm working on, I might bundle it and release it as a gem then.

What exactly do you mean by worldwide electronic medical records?

Thanks!

More like an "offenders" list.

Definitely looks interesting, but it seems more oriented towards full-time jobs and not freelancing. Will check it out though, thanks!

Depends on the project really, but I'd go as low as 10$/hour. Elance/ODesk/Freelancer.com don't seem to really do the trick, I'll check out Guru.com and PeoplePerHour.com, maybe there's some potential there. Thanks!
