its a great name but how big is the canadian market for that

Is shop and save owned by yahoo for Canada or classifiedsextra?

Kent is a nice guy, but really his departure isn’t a major issue for Y! and certainly not worthy of a post on TC. At Y! there are Directors with lots of responsibility (typically the ones who run entire products) and Directors who just have the business card but little responsibility. Kent was of the latter category.

Kent became a Director not that long ago by way of the Garlinghouse Crony Training Program (GCTP) but decided to leave GCTP once he became Director. This probably explains why he has his own post on TC.

Arrington — you are going down a bad path with all this Garlinghouse stuff. Yes, he liked you, yes, he invited you to all kinds of stuff, yes, he leaked stories, but no, Garlinghouse really wasn’t a person that drove product innovation or new sources of revenue and probably never will be.

Kent — good for you getting TC to make post just about you! suckers!

I am a fellow yahoo, and I know Kent. Nice guy, but by no means a top deal guy, or some one who had any real impact on the company.

D.

The reason Mike Arrington is acting like a chicken little is that he has no idea what Yahoo does nor any tech company does (shown in a love for retarded tech companies with no users and no prospects – twitter, mahalo anybody?). He has no fucking idea what makes a successful business since he failed at his. All he has left is gossip but you need self-promoting windbags for that.

It’s the end of the world as we know it, clearly.

I worked with much better deal guys at Y!

Damn you Carlos and Antonio, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!

Mr. Ford, if you’re reading through this, please call me if you need to replace Jose. I need a high paying job that doesn’t “conflict of interest” with my script sales. I’ll wheel around your squeegee cart for only 75k/y w/benefits w/awesome parking space. People don’t realize that script sales are an important stream of revenue for me, and I can not simply let that go for a 5 figure job.

Again, I have no problem replacing Jose or moving to sunnyvale if I am compensated.

I wrote a utility for glitz and cairo that was based on AIGLX and Xgl, and there were hundreds of #ifdef macros. There can be some major preprocessing stuff if you are targeting many architectures with your C/C++ code, BUT

That’s why java became so popular, and why PHP is popular ect…
Write once run everywhere eventually took over our application programming.

This never happened with javascript. Why? Because Firefox is based on Netscape and because Microsoft uses their own products in order to hinder and try to create market dominance through fake standards.

With that said. Mike Arrington, CVSDude has been working badly and has been down ALL WEEK. Can you please do a report on the CVSdude problems just as you report constantly on twitter problems. 41,833 commercial projects are currently being locked out from being updated right now.

This is worse than anything on twitter.

Ah yes, because once you have C++, you can write GUIs/system services/utilities for all versions of Macs, Windows, and Linux, all from one code base without having to learn the quirks of each one. Give me a break.

Dude, you spew bullshit. Instead of asking for credibility, why don’t you just go out and earn it.

It’s always funny how companies can have mass desertions or layoffs and the organisation continues to function as well — if not better — than before. So consider these departures to be highly desirable shedding of dead wood. And don’t argue that these are “valuable” executives. These are the very execs who’ve caused Yahoo to be the disaster that it is. The more that leave the better, and the money saved on their over-blown saleries is a nice additional bonus for shareholders.

They have about 10k total world wide. That’s not counting contractors. This page is from 06. There must be some fresher stats. I just don’t have the time to research it.

You say you’re on the JRE team. Next time you write some java code, consider what would happen if people were yelling at you telling you your code must ALSO work in gcj. And when it doesn’t for some reason you are told that the bugs in gcj are actually features and you must make sure that you program in those features.

Or that all your flash movies have to work on gnash?

I didn’t come from a spaghetti background so it’s pretty hard for me to adapt. PHP makes enough sense and is bug free enough to make me happy, plus Zend and others make decent debugging tools.
