If you think that using Linux makes you a good web developer (in terms of standards compliance), I kindly ask you to get a clue.
Seriously, you know some idiot zealot is going to bang on about standards compliance and tie it to politics. Guess what, if you use such standards for selecting a candidate, then you've truly earned another G.W. Bush.
Oh man. They still have mandatory and optional codecs?
Christ.
Will they ever learn? If I had a Blu-Ray player, I would expect all titles to play on my player. Confusing the customer is not an option when it comes to consumer electronics.
No. Software priced at 200-300 bucks is not aimed squarely at professional photographers. It's aimed at hobbyists trying to get the most out of their DSLR.
The story write-up is a mystery. Aperature is not a market leader, it isn't available for PCs, it hasn't even been out all that long.
Aperture is a reasonably-priced piece of software for managing your photography library and doing lightroom-style adjustments. I don't don't think there's much competition within the given price range.
Lightroom is the new kid on the block, and I've been using it throughout the beta cycle. I guess I'll have to pay up, because I quite like it. It certainly beats iPhoto, and Aperture too. (Played a bit with Aperture, but Lightroom feels better. The adjustment utilities are better)

If you take this data and combine it with a decade of earlier results, the debate about whether or not there is a global warming signal here and now is over at least for rational people.
But, feel free to post any good rebuttals on this study if you indeed know more than I do.
Not knowing the costs (or the particulars of networking in an industrial environment), I'd look into the cost of a new IDF in parallel to designing the fireproofing solution.
You may very well end up getting a more reliable service for the same or less money by setting up a new IDF in a sane environment, than going forward with the fireproofing.
Far too many people ignore the real world and listen to the fairy tales they wanna hear. And far too many people think they know more about the climate than thousands of full-time researchers with MENSA memberships.
Now shut up, while I listen to some Bill Hicks. You got me in the mood.
You can beat around the bush a bit. Ask about typical overtime. If they say "rarely" and don't snicker while saying it, you've probably found a pretty good place to work (since you're not one of those people who like the adrenaline rush of making stuff on the fly).
Seems like Flash perhaps does not contain the correct options for defining what events to trap and which to pass through. Or perhaps Flash developers do not use it correctly. Or perhaps Firefox does not handle this option correctly.
Either way, this kinda minutiae is also part of why software sucks.
And why limited development resources makes software suck - because you end up with unpolished products that don't behave correctly, so the end users get a steeper learning curve than necessary.
I think Mac for computing and a console for gaming is a good solution for any gaming needs.
Plus a few deep strategy games for the Mac - since I've yet to see something like Civilization IV well executed for a console.
Anyhow, I share your worry that the developers will ditch their Mac branch if you can run any windows application on your Mac without a performance penalty and without paying for a windows license.
I also worry that running windows applications on your Mac will make your system more confusing to use - reducing one of the USPs that attract the home market to Macs.
Anyways, over past few years, it's become pretty obvious that Apple is aiming a lot of attention towards those people who want to listen to music, arrange their photographs, edit their home movies, watch movies, email and surf the web. You know - most computer users.
Only catering for creative professionals is not enough for a company of Apples size and vision.
Sure I can tell you something about the market for a portable video player:
1. People who spend a lot of time on airplanes - and that's quite a few on a global scale. 2. People with kids - since kids don't necessarily agree on what to watch, and they don't spend _all_ their time in the back seat of a Volvo SUV. 3. People who use public transportation for more than 15 minutes or so straight.
Anyways, I agree that mainstream TV is evil thought control.:)
Letting stuff mature in your head on the backburner saves upfront effort. I tend to think of a problem for a while before I start prototyping or implementing. That way, I'll get a clearer picture of potential unintended consequences and implementation cost.
Some procrastination is good, too much procrastination is bad. Finding that sweet spot is kinda difficult, though.
So I'd be inclined to interpret this as a sign that Apple wants to stay within striking distance of the embedded market, not that they're definitely going in. Apple's not going to make a crummy iPhone. If they do it, they'll want it to be the best phone ever. They're not going to trash their brand just because people keep telling them that they have to be in phones.
I don't necessarily agree with that. Apple is seeing the mp3 capabilities of regular cellphones improve and mature, and they're probably very worried about this. iPod is an extremely important product line for them, and watching cellphones undermine your cash cow is probably not the greatest feeling in the world. So, they realize they must move into the cellphone market in order to maintain iTunes Store dominance on the longer term. And iTunes Store is a cornerstone of their strategy plans, I'm guessing.
As for what they have running in the back room, we can only speculate. But I would suggest that having fairly developed versions of all possible medium-longterm-business opportunities is throwing money away unnecessarily. I think they probably make a bit of proof-of-concept stuff and keep it at that.
So you'd rather hire someone in a dysfunctional marriage (how can you know!?) than someone who's taken the tough choice to give up the broken marriage and do something else? You don't know squat about the reasons behind someone being married or not married.
You might be missing out on serious talent by your ass-backwards logic.
As for the criminal record: Sure that counts for something. Some people grow up, some people don't.
But in adulthood, the motivation for performing various crimes against your employer might be different: A desparate situation, blackmail, revenge etc. If you think background checking is adequate, you're sadly mistaken.
Not only are you discriminating for bad reasons, but you're lulling yourself into a false sense of security.
The message seems to be that you can get more out of your digital camera, your digital video camera etc with a Mac, while there is less hassle with unnecessary concepts like viruses and drivers.
This series of ads is not about preaching the the choir. It's about converting those who don't feel emotionally attached to their computer. Apple tries to convince potential buyers to get a 1000$ Mac rather than a 500$ PC. It's that simple.
And it's working. Apple market share has been rising quickly since the introduction of the Intel line.
(Drivers are needed for a computer to work, but the end user should not need to know about them, like they don't know about memory management implementation details)
Sure you can lose weight the way you describe: No carbs, lotsa fat and proteins.
But it's supposedly not a very healthy diet - straining the liver etc. Professionals only recommend this diet for the rather extreme cases where you need to lose weight or face imminent death.
I've lost little weight but gained quite a bit of muscle and energy by working out three days a week: Two days of strength-training, one day of swimming for an hour. I realized it was either diet or exercise, because I was steadily gaining weight while pushing 30. Now my BMI is down from 28.7 to 26.1. If I bother to diet, I can lower it further - but who cares? Anyhow, that's what I did. Your mileage WILL vary and what matters the most is your health and not your appearance.

You can use it with the Gimp.
But last I checked it was not very good. And it's just a plain RAW converter, not a full-fledged RAW workflow tool.
If you really wanna lose those pounds, find some people to work out with. Soccer. Running. Martial arts. Mountain biking. Whatever.
Remember: It's much easier to get started and keep going on your workout-plan if you have workout-partners who support eachother!
Here's something for ya: Empirical evidence. You know, we have a good record of atmospheric composition and temperatures for the past 50-60-70 years.
Somebody tested various models on historical data. You know where you started, you know what happened, and you know the outcome.
Good enough for you?
They tried it. More here.

I read 4Q 2007 somewhere.. Very disappointing.
But the iPhone itself looks very promising. I just wonder if it will be less groundbreaking 9 months from now..

Oh yeah?
A much better approach: Find 90 bugs, give Apple 30 days to fix them, and release those that were fixed along with those that were not fixed.
That would either show whether Apple takes security seriously, without exposing the user base to added security risks.
Wunderbar.
(Except that we of course want to see that Wally/Larry sucessfully completed)
But how sophisticated is that 'version' call? Not everything is the same on different versions of the same operating system..

Two good pieces of advice for beginning Perl programmers:
1. Use 'my' until you understand what 'local' does.
2. Never use $_ outside of map and sort blocks.
Remember, other people may need to read your code one day..

I don't necessarily agree with that.
