gne1963on Stress Tests: Most of the 19 Banks Passed

Ok, if the exams are a farce, please construct an objective test that is fair, objective, and determines whether or not our banks are solvent. Surely as hackers if we object to the test structures we can come up with a better algorithm rather than just claiming the function is broken.

gne1963on Obama: $15B for Small Businesses

patio11-

please source your data on why they are NOT set up to fund developers or websites.

That is not my experience... and at some point your business will require capital and an SBA loan is a nice alternative.

gne1963on Confessions of a terrible programmer

Of course we all understand (or are forced to use) structures now, but back then GOTOs were evil. We did not have the structural classics we have now. We had to build them. (and use them).

Naked GOTOs were indeed evil and led to endless loops and sleepless nights. There was no structure to them.

Pascal was our savior.

gne1963on Confessions of a terrible programmer

Ok I admit that when I used BASIC back in 1979, I put GOTOs in my code.

gne1963on Some Indie Facebook Developers Pulling In Over $700,000 A Month

nice call sahaj to ask for specifics. Unfortunately I doubt you will get them.

gne1963on Some Indie Facebook Developers Pulling In Over $700,000 A Month

The headline is quite misleading, suggesting a single "developer/hacker/coder/programmer" can make $700K a month. The reality is that they don't even name the firm that they reference as bringing in that 700k...

gne1963on Building A Startup From Scratch With No Money

No downmoting here, Just an observation that these tips are not fuzzy. They actually are tried and true by many a successful business owner. And then asked the failed business owner and he'll tell you he failed because he tried to grow too fast by putting in processes she didn't understand, by using someone else's money...

gne1963on The coming of the megacomputer

Supercomputers in the cloud, and supercomputers (iphones/blackberrys) on our hips connected by high-speed ip based broadband lines will no doubt be significantly trans-formative in our lifetimes.

gne1963on [dead]

A great story. Indeed it is the large "elite" banks that took on most of those junk paper instruments (and made up some of the paper derivatives) The majority of banks did not. They should not have to pay for the errors of the Wall Street banks.

gne1963on Google AdSense revenue flat - what does it mean

I'd have to agree with the thrust of the article. Although it does not clearly state it, adsense is probably flat because of signficantly increased competition in the pay per click market.
