What the heck is this t-shirt talking about?

Let him be interested in what he's interested in.

Or maybe I didn't know that this had been posted before. A colleague sent me a link to it today, I thought it might be interesting to this group, and I posted it. Feel free to mod it down all you like. Having high karma on Hacker News is not a high priority in my life.

Play more hockey.

That's like saying, "the market is always right; if it seems like it sometimes isn't, trust me, it is."

To tell you the truth, I'd feel like a nut case saying something like "You are my favorite company. It's my dream to work for you. If you have any aspect that could use a little help, let me do it, and I promise you it'll thrive. I'm that passionate about this."

"impact" is also not a verb. I'm sure Nero Wolfe would agree with me on that, if he were here today.

Watson's bedroom was presumably on the floor above the pictured floor. (They also don't show Mrs. Hudson's bedroom.) Watson moved out pretty early in the series after marrying Mary Morstan.

I can't see (let alone observe) whether they got the seventeen steps right or not.

So, he's basically saying that the net worth of the U.S. is negative, which, of course, is a very bad thing. Which means it's impossible to pay it off right at this moment, of course. I'm not sure why that implies it can never be paid off, though. Not that that makes the situation much better, though.

Unless you're a hockey player.

Does anyone know whether this has been done with hockey?

I wrote a just intonation library in Java, if you're interested:

Twisted Life, a video game written in Flex that uses cellular automata:

The New Yorker: Has very interesting articles and criticism. I recommend it.

Chess Life: Am a USCF member, so I get it automatically.

Computer Music: The best articles on creating electronic music. I highly recommend it.

I know what you mean. I've written programming articles, but sometimes I wonder whether I was (am) only doing it for ego reasons and whether that time would have been better spent by simply doing more programming.

Maybe Why the Lucky Stiff had the right idea when he disappeared. I've thought about that a lot.

Maybe this article:

"Cellular automata and music: Using the Java language for algorithmic music composition": http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-camusic/

Or maybe one of my other developerWorks articles:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/search/searchResults.jsp?s...

Or maybe "Love You Live".

"Sticky Fingers", I think. The famous 'zipper cover'.

'"In my 30-year working career, I am struggling to recall a time where I have seen a supplier [...] so unwilling to accept responsibility and apologize to its client and its client's customers"'

Definitely sounds like today's IBM.

And the Beatles tomorrow (never knows)?

The article says, "a Red Hat coder published an essay criticizing IBM's Linux programmers". Where is this essay published? Is it online somewhere?

How exactly do you implement a dead man's switch for your online accounts? Do you just leave your account info for your estate's executor, lawyer, friend, or whatever and he manually deletes them? Or do you have some script that will automatically run and delete your accounts if you don't tell it not to every week or so?

I've often what happens to people's free email addresses after they die. (I suppose nothing in most cases.)

"Naive Set Theory" by Paul R. Halmos.

"Theory of Recursive Functions and Effective Computability" by Hartley Rogers is excellent.

10 hours. I like down-time.

"The ADC 2 contest is open only to applications that have not been published -- whether through Android market, a public web site, or any other means."

I wonder whether apps ported from another platform are eligible.

Hear, hear. There is nothing more maddening than having someone dumber than you tell you that you're dumb once a year.
