Megaman is a perfect example. Nobody who has beaten half the Megaman games is going to be called anything less than 'hard core', but its easy enough to pick up any of them and start playing with no instructions at all.
The only way I've ever managed to get a proportional raise was to get a new job. Companies don't like to give out raises, and prefer to hire someone for more rather than promote from within. It's ass-backwards, but that's the way the world works.
As retarded as the Texas decision is, you have just (unwittingly?) demonstrated the problem with current history text books (and again, it's being addressed in a very retarded way). The US Civil War was about a lot of things, and in some ways about nothing (Lincoln likely wouldn't have freed the slaves if states didn't start seceding, and most of the states that did secede did so in what appears to be a drunken rage).
Please stop with posts like this, you're only helping the religion nutcases who wrote these laws.
You do understand that a large portion of those entitlements are because of the military, right? 20 years gets you a pension and health care for the rest of your life. Not a bad deal when people lived to be 55.. Hurts a little more when people live to be 85.
No, I think Ubuntu started on the dot com business model of
1. ) start a corporation
2. ) build some hype to get investors interested
3. ) ???
4. ) profit!
you can argue that number 4 indicates an intention of making profit.. But I would argue it only represents the desire to make profit, and that there was no actual plan for how to go about that from the start. This new attempt to make money is nothing but an afterthought, which likely represents a decline in venture capital investments. I predict that in 3 years Canonical will have to file for bankruptcy, having never produced anything even remotely profitable. Really, doesn't becoming a non-profit sound like a better option?
Um, your argument is refuted by the premise of the original issue. Ubuntu has never had an intention of making money until now, and it's the most widely used distro among home users by far.
A non-profit charity makes much more sense. Or maybe even seek NSF grants. It's nice having a viable, widely distributed Linux distro without a profit incentive.
Your sig reminds me of my Programming I class, where the prof required a paragraph of documentation for every function. I did a rip off of Genesis much like yours. I was disapointed when I got my print out back that she never even bothered to read it.
2 questions.. 1.) are you just looking for CS knowledge to weed out the riff raff, or do you actually have jobs available that require such knowledge? And 2.) if the answer to #1 is the latter, why haven't you hired me?
And how are these noobs expected to gain that experience? That's the problem. All developers are human, and all humans are mortal (so far, anyway). Without younger developers learning the ropes, Linux will just become an incomprehensible legacy app nobody wants to patch for fear of breaking something.
I usually program about 5 hours a week. The other 35 work hours are spent thinking about code. One well-considered line of code is worth a thousand lines of stream-of-conciousness code vomit.
Not all unions are like that. The plumber's union, for instance, covers you if you're out of work too long, makes sure all members meet a minimum level of competency, and sets prices high enough that all members can make a decent living. More of a guild than a union, perhaps, but I think that's what we need.
So that's why C# has operator overloading, closures, anonymous types, lambda functions, and the pure awesomeness that is LINQ? I don't care too much for Microsoft's business practices, but Java fanboys really need to take a long hard look at the state of their language of choice.
Citation please? I don't disagree that stupid people often feel they are stupid, and vice versa, but I don't think it's definitive. Furthermore, people with a lot of technical ability are often arrogant (anecdotal observation). Engineers and MDs are the worst about this, IMO. Also, please note that I never claimed to have a high IQ, but rather that I'm a good programmer. It's a skill, not an attribute.

It's greatest as what you do can possible! Sense is perfect making!

Yeah. Besides, us Real Americans (tm) would like to keep Austin. We'll pass on the resth, though.

Do you know how far 1 million dollars goes in a government project? They won't even have a building for 30 years at that rate.

You mean... like Debian?
Width is relative, I suppose.. Debian is never going to rival Windows or OSX. Ubuntu might.
You noob! ROT26 is where it's at.

Real developers don't have seating arrangements -- they stand.
3 levels deep, and you all still can't figure it out. != is the operator you're looking for. <= would also be acceptable.

Heap sort is certainly a binary sort..

Let's just hope he doesn't go to Microsoft. I'd hate for C# to turn into a piece of crap like Java.
It depends on whether any of his coworkers use him as a reference.

I'm vastly underpaid, according to this. Anyone in Oklahoma want to hire an exceptional programmer at an average salary($86k)?
