A note with regards to specs: you may be tempted to dump all your points into the Programming tree. Don't.

Cut this piece of wood according to these specs. If you needed someone to build your house, which method would you choose?

And Windows Phone flies despite the modest specs. I was disappointed in the 920 I had earlier, but at this price point the shoe is on the other foot.

There are only three meaningful things you can do with a computer with specs like this: development, design, or gaming. And yet ChromeOS can't do any of these things.

>> Then there is the foam density, that I can't see anywhere in the specs. And as you can guess when you import materials the bigger the density the more expensive the foam sheets are.

I hope that Steam, and gamers that use Mac and Linux in general, will push for bigger changes in OpenGL, both specs and implementations. disclaimer: I write GPU drivers for living

He had people give copious amounts of negative feedback on her specs, held back people from working with her, and lied about progress to management. He was setting her up to fail so he could swoop in and deliver it after she failed without the wrath of being late.

These days, the stock specs of the Macbook Retina will be fine for even power users for years; almost certainly the life of a laptop. The tiny group of "super power users" are those likely to just upgrade their laptops every couple of years anyway.

The technical specs are completely irrelevant to the interests of the majority of consumers. This page needs to show what this is capable of without the foreknowledge of what Chrome OS is or is capable of or what Googles other offerings are.

This is achieved through specs, even if only implementers ever read them. I would love pointers to Markdown processors that are implemented in a more principled way than the original code, for example using standard-looking lexing and parsing passes, but that still handle nested blockquotes and bullet lists together with hard-wrapped paragraphs.

Contrary to common belief, we do not hate the following classes of things, we just hate idiotic instances of them: meetings, status reports, timesheets, processes, procedures, policies, mission statements, motivational posters, HR, reviews, interviews, reports, specs, and team-building exercises. 9.

They lied to their customers by selling hardware under the same name as previously produced hardware with cheaper components and lesser specs. They built hardware that was simply off-spec, an example being drives where the connectors were an entire millimeter shifted, such that when installed in certain machines the connectors literally could not make contact with the corresponding metal.

You need to expend time and energy on: - preparing precise specs instead of explaining and interacting - interpretting imprecise specs instead of questioning and interacting - writing precise emails - interpretting imprecise emails - guessing body language and tonality from written communication - dealing with conference calls and web-based meetings - building relationships without benefit of breaks and meals - understanding the human terrain without benefit of gossip and the water cooler - being noticed and recognized for who you really are by new people - being included when you're "out of sight, out of mind" You kinda get the idea. If you can be excellent at these things, great.
