Duh, it's "Internet", everyone knows that.

It should be internet. Like telephone or telegraph.
Capitalization is for persons or trade names.
If you want to make it something more than a bunch of computers and fiber interconnects. Do so, but I won't.

No, capitalization is for proper names. And Internet is a proper name. It's not like there are dozens of generic internets out there. There is only one network that is called "The Internet."
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

... which is why it should be "Internet" and "intranet".

Most technical job interviews for developers are somewhat predictable in that they will likely involve some kind of coding — generally on a whiteboard. "Life is a game. So fight for survival and see if you're worth it."

For whiteboarding, they should add a feature where it looks at the computer language and type of problem and automatically links you to various solutions you can then cut and paste.

Python: the perennial "yeah, I should probably learn that sometime" language.
As long as the respondents who said they'd learn it last year didn't learn it, they are free to report the same the following year.

Nick Craver (Stack Exchange sysadmin) blog entry on the years of work required: May 22: [^]Quote: Fair warning: This is the story of a long journey. Very long. As indicated by your scroll bar being very tiny right now. While Stack Exchange/Overflow is not unique in the problems we faced along the way, the combination of problems is fairly rare. I hope you find some details of our trials, tribulations, mistakes, victories, and even some open source projects that resulted along the way to be helpful. It’s hard to structure such an intricate dependency chain into a chronological post, so I’ll break this up by topic: infrastructure, application code, mistakes, etc.

Been there, done that (though not to the extent of those guys).
The protocol-relative URLs were a surprise to us, too. How hard is it for an email client to just default to *something*? Our biggest issue was Fastly caching our stuff. they came to our rescue, though, and made some changes there end to get us through. Super easy.
cheers

Dang. The hardest part of switching over my websites to HTTPS was figuring out how to register the certificate in the Windows cert manager!

We used to have ^Jif in the UK, but then they changed the name to ^Cif (I guess to match others in the EU).. 
Weirdly, it always make me think of the ^CIS 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

A team of researchers at Universite Paris-Diderot has uncovered the reason for wobbling of wheeled suitcases. In their paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, the group explains the physics behind suitcase wobbling and offer some suggestions to overcome the problem. I'm so glad all the hard problems are solved

It sounds similar to the problem of car and truck trailers tipping or jackknifing.
