They may not have changed noticeably, but that doesn't mean they haven't changed. You'd have to sequence a fossil and compare DNA to be sure.

I've met some evolutionary biologists who get rather tetchy when people throw around the terms "less evolved" or "more evolved". They seem to prefer talking about adapting to an environment over 'onwards-and-upwards' pinnacle-of-creation rhetoric. I suspect they would say the critter is just as evolved and evolving as anything else, just not much changed by it - presumably because the basic original design found a nice stable niche to entrench itself in.

I still use a Nokia E90 Communicator with Symbian PuTTY. Five row backlit keyboard, CTRL, and TAB. (The 9300 and 9500 communicators had ESC as well. Sigh.)

I tried using a Nexus S, but ConnectBot is terrible without a hardware keyboard or trackball - even with "Full Keyboard" from the Market.

No, there aren't any phones with good gaming controls. One reason is that D-pads with buttons in the middle don't work well for gaming but make one-handed control of a phone much simpler.

Do you not have accountants and attorneys though?

My point is that it doesn't really matter whether the forms are free or not - you need experienced people who know what to do with it; otherwise you can get yourself into some sticky situations pretty easily.

Just like IT.

Firefox is a massive resource hog. With more tha 2 tabs open for a while, it will consume vast amounts of memory.

Opera is a breath of fresh air. 10.10 is rock solid and fast, 10.50 is (currently) unstable, but faster than anything around, including the previous king, Chrome, and Opera have already said there is still more gains to be had and planty of debug to remove.

I will elaborate on this by expanding the parallel drawn between brick layers and coders: even I (as a coder) am able to lay bricks faster than the fastest brick layer, though my 'wall' will consist of a pile of bricks and mortar. Which leads me to the following: the key difference between a brick wall artifact and a software artifact is the 'black-boxiness' of the latter, the 'observability', if you will, of the quality of code: a laymen cannot hope to recognize spaghetti code as easily as a laymen would recognize 'spaghetti wall'.

because this represents the first time the human brain has been involved in the process of updating Twitter.

In a large company a software engineer is hired to fill a well-defined position with a specific budget. There is only so much room to increase the monetary and equity compensation. And that's subject to strict corporate guidlines.

Fat32 is the only reliable cross platform option. But windows (natively) can only format it to a limited size, but can go to 2TB on linux/osx or a 3rd party formatter in windows.
