Defying Classification: Removing The Model-View-Controller Straitjacket
www.pointy-stick.com/blog/2008/11/30/removing-model-view-controller-straitjacket/, posted 2008 by peter in development opinion
Here's a summary (no, seriously!) of a collection of notes I've been making for quite a long time about the infamous model-view-controller architectural style. I keep intending to post it during some quiet period when there isn't a parallel "MVC furore" debate going on somewhere, because it isn't a reaction to anything. However, such lulls do not exist, it seems, so time to publish.

All Hugh Loebner wanted to do was become world famous, eliminate all human toil, and get laid a lot. And he was willing to put up lots of good money to do so.

Coding Horror: Do Certifications Matter?
www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000771.html, posted 2008 by peter in business development management opinion people
I don't believe in certifications. The certification alphabet is no substitute for a solid portfolio; you should be spending your time building stuff, not studying for multiple choice tests. But that doesn't mean they're worthless, either. I don't think certifications get in the way, as long as you can demonstrate an impressive body of work along with them.

Piracy is the act of stealing an artist's work without any intention of paying for it. I'm not talking about Napster-type software.

As well as running directly on hardware like a normal OS, Midori will be able to run under the Hyper-V hypervisor, coexisting side-by-side with Windows and Linux. It can also be run as a process on a Windows machine.

[...] today's patent system causes more harm than good. Litigation costs, driven by uncertainty about who owns what rights, are now so huge that they outweigh the profits earned from patents.
