Jobs outsourced domestically, eventually leads to a domestic market which cannot buy the goods you make, ala the United States which had a very strong consumer market.
Which proves, again, the short view taken for profits, over the long view of producing a product. Eventually, these companies will die, with very wealthy C?O's, and new ones will be created.
The root problem, from my view, is that companies are run to make a profit, not make a product which then makes a profit for the company.
In my limited, thankfully, experience dealing with licensing, the license following the user or device depends upon the software being licensed. The OS belongs to the machine, or in a large organization, the organization. Third party applications follow the user, within the organization. But, the licenses tied to a user can be moved within the organization.
Code review can be that, but doesn't have to be. For example, at my place of work, code review results aren't documented, and can't be brought up during personnel review. The purpose of code review is quality (for us).
I think that the idea is to get the students to realize that there are options other than Windows or Apple's stuff. The mom, or any other noob, might just take to liking Linux.
They'll realize the Firefox works the same, email the same, and maybe get interested.
I agree on your points though, like Cygwin is cool, but still not the same, so is a VM'ed Linux distro running on Windows.
Agreed, given the specs of easy to install, maintain, and no dual boot; other than VMWare or VirtualPC, how to install without dual booting? Don't forget the restricted extras for mp3/DVD stuff.
These is masses of data here in the UK, and it all says roundaboutses have fewer accidents than lights, and they are less serious accidents, and pass more traffic with less waiting. It has also been demonstrated that some junctions are safer and faster without any rules. (Mostly where traffic density is very high, and no one can reach 4MPH).
Since all vehicles are going in the same direction, and nearly the same speed, I would expect that property and personal damage would be lessened when compared to someone running a red light and colliding. I have driven roundabouts in the USA and Mexico, and found, like many others, that they make sense for low volume intersections. The problems will come from introducing a new traffic control to drivers.
As I understand it, the test in America is "Have you got $50?" and does not require any knowledge or skill to pass it. It may be 75 years before Americans can use roundabouts safely. After all, many cannot change gear (or even lane) safely.
Seriously, that low level of flamebaiting and still rated insightful? Bravo.
Yeah, but lots of people do disable UAC. They see it as an annoyance, and they don't see the value.
Correct, they see the UAC prompt (or for some needing su/sudo) as an inconvenience, not as a security warning. Maybe if the prompt came with a sound of a locked door handle being twisted, breaking window glass, or car alarm they would get the point.
In the end, they see the "shiny that they want", and will do want they need to get it. Oh, this website needs to install an Active X control and administrator access? Sure, if I get my video/game/screensaver!
Some context about Prop. 13's start, IIRC, your property value was not necessarily assessed fairly, and you could be taxed out of your home, the home that you actually owned the deed to. Wikipedia lines up decently, Prop 13 .
Like many of the silly things in CA, Prop 13 happened as a reaction to an abuse of power, which of course led to new abuses.
Long time ago, Mad Magazine, did a series on The Rifleman. The one line that I have always remembered in the MM part, "there's nothing as quiet and law abiding as a dead man."
Anyway, violence will cause people to control desires, but it will not change them.
Successful people in corporate IT are like successful people in other corporate pools; those who blend best with the other employees succeed. Corporate, like everything else in civilization, is a social game.
Yes, but they didn't have them. You see, real safety, not mickey-mouse make believe duck-and-cover safety is much too expensive to the folks in the executive class that get to become rich with this type of projects. So they prefer to allow for the occasional meltdown.
It is not technically impossible, just not profitable, or as profitable as desired, or as profitable as possible.
I hope to see our economic system evolve in my lifetime, might solve some of our societal problems.
Not sure about Vista's PE2, but 7's PE3 has a firewall. That would eliminate how XP was infected before the installation was completed, which was still a problem in 2007.
Of course, the submitter is lumping Win* together in the commentary.

After all, the really big bonuses always go to the top executives, because leadership is the biggest and best profit center!
A post combining insight with sarcasm. Voltaire may have approved ;-)

Such fun can be had with the simple task of mowing grass.
When I've the time, I like to use the lawn pattern as a bit of art. Sometimes a chevron, sometimes waves, circles, whatever.
I've no idea if the neighbors notice, but I do.
Completely unrelated in experience to HFT, but, many times I have deployed solo.
Yes, stressful it is, supporting non-technical people.
So, are you saying that "iStuff" is the 2000's Jordache/Izod? ;)

At last, a first post that is first, and properly placed for nostalgia. :>)
LOL, ya beat me to it.
MOD UP!
And that is how it should be.
Let QA bring in management. :>)

You just may have given me the argument for management that I need to get away from endlessly trying to "lockdown" Windows.

Damn, never thought about 120mm tungsten grapeshot rounds. So much for human wave assaults.

Is this a fair summary?
Successful people in corporate IT are like successful people in other corporate pools; those who blend best with the other employees succeed. Corporate, like everything else in civilization, is a social game.
Sex-ed had a similar effect, opening my eyes to more possibilities that I ever could have thought of on my own.
You have identified the real problem.
It is not technically impossible, just not profitable, or as profitable as desired, or as profitable as possible.

While I agree that coal is, in general, safer than nuclear, I'm not sure about...
The number of years to erode one of these holes would be a lifetime, I think, Flickr of Ekibastuz, chosen at random from Google images.
Come on moderators, at least one Funny is due here.

Good points.
