it was pretty obviously implied that the person has been helped and warned in the past and they're still writin crap. People either are good programmer or they aren't and I only want to work with perfect programmers like me who don't make mistakes and if they do, they catch them in testing. People that completely forget parts of modules and write horribly incorrect, non-working code shouldn't be programming and shouldn't be working with me.
This may be hard to believe but some companies actually are inhabited completely by arrogant, showey douchebags. And if you're about be scream "THEY'RE USED FOR MEDIA EDITING TOO!" umm...I run Photoshop and Premier just fine on my PC at half the hardware price, thanks.
This is kinda vicious but my strategy is if someone else's coding isn't good enough or they make massive mistakes, I don't just let it fly. You don't have to be their boss, you only have to be working on the same project as them because you're the one putting up with missing object methods and bad documentation and poorly written code. Tell em to rewrite it before you can use it and correct them and generally let them know that it has to be acceptable or they get to fix it. If anyone asks about project delays, don't hesitate to throw them under the bus and accurately report that they were the reason for the delay because their code didn't work. Soon it'll become really obvious that they're the inferior employee who should be replaced if possible. Do note that if you're the one always screwing up, I hope you expect the same thing to be done to you. Get better at programming or get a different job.
Gameguard is used in Maplestory and I believe SRO also. It didn't stop any glitching or vac-hacking in Maplestory and it didn't stop botting AT ALL in SRO. In fact, over 50% of all registered players were bots. It's useless crap!
How could it possibly be bad for the case for jurors to look up the defender's facebook account, find out they're a douchebag, and then find them guilty? Hell, they might have the stolen jewelry on while posing for a facebook pic. Case solved! lol. But seriously, if there's some copyright troll suing another company and the jury (well okay, juries don't go copyright trials but let's pretend they do) Googles the plaintiff and find out they're a patent troll that's abused laws and caused havoc with other companies, guess what, CASE LOST! Too bad they aren't jury trials! The judge better hop on google!
More like ignorant! They'd get their asses sued off in a second if they sold children's personal information to outside companies. Everyone knows that (except ignorant, paranoid people apparently)
Then how did Magneto escape from his prison by ripping all the iron out of a guy's body after he took iron supplements or whatever? Explain that documents scientific experiment to me lol.
from TFA: "In a rare double whammy decision, they've also finished and released Duke Nukem forever, which fully supports Wireless-N." Don't think too hard about how much sense that makes lol.
"Hopefully this means massive multitouch surfaces will be coming into my home sooner rather than later"
Really? You don't think maybe that's put the power requirements of the household to like 10x normal? Actually let's make that 20x in the summer since cooling down a house with giant displays with walls would take a ridiculously powerful AC system.
okay, so tracking it might be fun but...I'd prefer to just have a remote detonate switch. Why catch the thief when I can just blow him up with my hand grenade Blackberry and Toshiba Satellite claymore?
So, wouldn't it generally levitating the mouse using the iron in its blood? So if your blood cells are yanking your body around, wouldn't that sort of interrupt the normal flow of blood and cause damage to the walls of your veins and capillaries and arteries and all that?
Don't get too jumpy about this. Think about it logically. What's the point in having 6 if it acts like one in Windows? You can't fullscreen an ap like a TV Tuner viewer or media player or game on just one monitor. Just get like an 80 inch LCD for cheaper and then you can actually play a game, which you really can't do with plastic frame gaps between each of the 6 monitors. I can't stand having my crosshair halved across two displays whose LCDs are like 4 inches apart and you get that issue with 2,4,and 6 displays. It'd really be 9 or 1 as your only real options.
I don't think this will work out exactly the best because you just know some higher up douche is going to pressure them into adding something complex, flashy, and "modern." It's like developers aren't allowed to make simple, awesome games anymore unless they're making them in flash online or something. They'll probably end up giving him a rail gun or letting him pull out a laptop and blog in the middle of a level or something idiotic like that. I want my damn simple sonic, damn it!
yay, my state isn't in it. I thought for sure we would be because we're one of two states that don't have any concealed weapons permits or allowances at all for the general public. *switches back on his hidden tape recorder*
well then hopefully it can't use Java to run fullscreen Runescape too. The last thing Runescape needs is more 12 year olds lol. Alas, I fear that Runescape in standard def mode is easy enough for those machines to run it:( ahhhhh! *runs away in fear*
You've got to be kidding me. Which do you think is the most likely explanation. 1, we're all becoming regenerative super-mutants. 2, psychosomatic illnesses are increasing. In other words, people cause stomach aches and heartburn and fast heartbeats and migraines and everything else there is out there to treat and then when they're convinced that they're taking something to help it, tada, it goes away.
oh yeah, forget latency or any time delays. I'll give you that one. But maybe you'd like to explain to me how they can send 60 frames per second of 1280x1024 video over my internet connection? Cuz if I'm not getting that, I'll stick with my 8800GTS thanks.
okay so "NAND flash will reside directly on a computer's motherboard as cache for all I/O and it will offer performance increases and other benefits similar to that of adding a solid-state disk drive to the system" to me means that they're adding a big 1GB, high speed flash cache chip to the motherboard. Like you're writing a file to the hard drive and it goes straight to cache and says "okay, finished" then slowly sends it to the hard drive. That would simulate SSD write speed but only on the surface.
Okay, so who wants a 30 second delay between when the file says it's done trasnfering/copying/saving and when it's actually on the hard drive? Write caching is a horrible idea that corrupts hard drives and loses files if you power off at the wrong time. Get one of those on your motherboard and you're basically guaranteed to never, ever be able to force shutdown or restart it with the instant restart button on the front of your case. Technically any data still on the flash chip would be saved and could resume transferring to the hard drive when you power back on but the file it was currently working on just got split in half on the hard drive!
I don't think so! Look, if someone can encode my videos to a DVD format before burning in 5 minutes instead of 1.5 hours on my 2.2GHz AMD64 X2, and also magically get the image to me for burning in 5 minutes, I'd pay for it in some circumstances. It's better than my computer being barely useable for a good chunk of the day. But as for running an office suite, I think I'll stick to my own computer for free thanks. What does the average person do that requires cloud computing? I don't have any databases big enough to merit being moved to a datacenter. I don't process Pixar level 3D graphics. Hell, youtube and other services already let me edit my videos on a cloud for free. So I don't see how the average person could possibly submit to being nickel and dimed for a cloud to run their apps that their own computer can handle itself. So what if you save $600 by buying some moderately intelligent terminal? $20 a month to run your apps is ridiculous, especially with the lag time and bandwidth required!
oh good! Now I can still sell them my much cheaper plan. Strap a standard US 4th of July bottle rocket to it. I mean seriously, gravtiy? GRAVITY?! The gravity of one space vehicle? You could get more force out of a mouse sneezing at it. Is it really that much harder to put a tiny rocket on it to control the trajectory? Or hitting it with something? You know, a space cannon complete with space cannonball? This is just an idiotic way to show how advanced our knowledge of physics and calculations is when something much simpler would suffice. I bet if they find a way to use a quantum effect to move an asteroid, they'll do that instead just to seem fancy and smart. Well screw em, I'll be up there with my space cannon damn it.
Hire me, geeze, Those big corporate morons have no idea what they're doing. There are at least a dozen different ways to make cartridge based games self destruct their data if they're opened. You can't get the ROM off it if a system wipes it any time oxygen is sensed inside the cartridge which has a vacuum in it. Good luck getting the data off it! There, that one's for free:P
I agree with that but must also add that none of that would even get THAT far in that these roads are outdoors. Anything outdoors gets dirt and dust and other assorted dirtiness covering it. Blacktop stays black for what, 2 months? Then it's all general outdoor residue. So I think they'd be dirty enough to absorb basically no light before trucks come in and misalign them, shatter them, and vibrate them apart.
