I found paring inexperienced with experienced developers actually work a lot better.
1. Ego - Developers need to keep their ego's aside. There Egos is what keeps them doing the wrong thing over and over again. A fresh young mind to challenge his decision really helps him rethink what he is doing.
2. Experience - The new guy doesn't have experience, experience isn't how fast you code, but to know what gatcha will get you, unless you account for them early. New developers tend to code themselves in a box. More experienced developers keep a hook open to add changes in particular areas where they know there will be a change (even though non of the specs say it will change), Experience workers can teach them why they break the rules when they do.
3. Trading Skills - Having one code owner is dangerous, having a few developers knowing what is going on is very handy. The idea of coding yourself a job, is often short sited because you have coded yourself in a position where you cannot advanced. Plus giving young developers skills to work and advance in the project is a good thing too.
4. It restricts getting tired - Coders will pass off the boring stuff back and forth so when you are at the 80% complete mark, you have energy to fill in the 20%
Media is trying to be objective, for the most part. If they start saying Obama is going to win on a landslide, or Romney has the ticket in hand. (especially this early on in the election cycle) the news coverage could effect the final outcome. The media trying to keep objective may seem like they are saying it is a close race. But a close race is good, it means both sides will go out and vote more.
But can data mining help win. You bet. A candidate has only limited resources, they need to be placed in smart locations, towards the right people. For example. Republicans will go to Texas, and Democrats will go to California or New York for fund raisers, but they will do nearly all their campaigning in swing states. So for us people who live in a solid color state, we really don't matter unless we have a lot of money, because we are stupid enough to vote for the same party every time no matter who is running. But for the swing states they get all the political love. The president will try to keep these states happy while elected and Challengers are going to push for new things that effect those states. Now with better data mining they will find better targets If they hold a rally outside a major city vs. inside it. Which towns are better then others. Who are the demographics there so not to piss them off. The ones with the better data has the advantage.
The political nuts, who favor one side or the other, often see the moderate, swing vote as people who don't care, are are uninformed (mostly do to your political stance is My Way is the right way, the other way is only due to corruption, because why else would they think of an opposing view if their thinking wasn't corrupted) The moderate group has the same normal distribution of intelligence, and normally would like to listen to both sides and then weigh their personal views with what the other is saying.
We tend to cross workstation with PC all the time. But I agree. I think the PC will die out but the Workstation and Servers will fill our general computing gap need.
Two guys walk into the bar. They have both lost all their money in a bad divorce. The bartender goes to them what will you have. The first man goes Ill have some H20, the second man said Ill have some H20 too. The second man died shortly afterwards with a foaming mouth.
It will just make it easier for you to be tracked.
Warrant a legit company. Pull User ID's (and perhaps personal info) from people who have pirate bay IP Addresses. See if they have non-pirate bay IP addresses connected to that login. keep an eye on that IP address, gather more personal information to prove it is the person not just the Address. Get enough info to get the the person. Warrant to check their computer. Then they got you.
Congratulation you had just made your user account flagged as a hacker/pirater.
In short, Apple is still bitter about Microsoft stealing their UI, back in the late 80's. Bla Bla Apple took it from Xerox... Apple felt like Windows took their thunder away. After that Apple has gotten much harder in protecting their UI.
The players will play the game by using all the rules to their benefit. Fix the game not the players.
I agree. You know Linux, that is a plus to your resume. You want a job that is only in Linux, then that is a minus. When I was younger I only wanted to work in Linux/Unix environments over the years, I really stopped caring about what freaking OS I am using and more on what am I accomplishing with my work. In my professional life I go on and off Linux... Usually I have both some times I have one or the other. But I don't see the OS as what defines my skills, I see my skills as someone who creates/improves/optimizes. The company uses Linux, No problem I know how to work on that environment and Ill give you a solution you should love. If the company works on Windows, I can give them just as good of a solution. If they are are on some older mainframe system, I can probably give them something that they never though they could do before, with using Linux/Windows/Unix in conjunction with the system. I personally don't care on the OS to define myself.
Now if a company asks me what OS should they use my answer is based on the following. Linux: If they have a strong IT culture, and there are at least a few employees who know it beside myself, or some people who are exited to learn the system. Windows: If they have a weak IT culture, or the employees are not that interested in learning a new OS, or they already have a windows network.
It is about finding the right solution for the organization. Being a Linux professional isn't that much more helpful. You need to be a good system administration/software developer/technical writer.... Reguardless of the make of your system. Yes each one works differently and there is a learning curve. But it isn't the 1980's anymore, we got Google, that make it rather easy to get the right information.
GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government spending + (exports imports)
Software development is part of gross investments and perhaps imports.
Now what happens with software development they will deprecate the cost over years, so that is 100 million over 5 years. So it would account for 20 million every year. And if you import software from the US then that number effecting you GDP will go down.
Oh wait, sorry, it has a bunch of patents of useless crap, and sues people who reinvent the useless crap, or has them pay money to sell the useless crap.
An other case of anyone who disagrees with your view point must be evil.
Companies/People/Real Life. Isn't cut dry Good and Evil, we all do things that other will not like. Some things that we do and think as Good, is considered as Evil by someone else. Sometimes things we feel bad about doing, really isn't a big deal.
Sometimes people change, they admit they were wrong, and change their actions, most of the time they will stubbornly stick by their views no matter what is actually the evidence is. Sometimes people will change their minds on a whim based on what some other charasmatic person says.
There was a time where the majority of Slashdot posts was praising Cloud Computing, then RMS made a rant about it, over night the majority changed their mind. Or the Republicans who initially sported a national health plan much like the Affordable care Act (Obomacare), but because it was enacted by the democratic party they all reject it.
Sometime people change their actions not because they believe in it, they just know they can't get away with it.
My motto is if the company is doing something good now, we should support their good deeds and reinforce good actions. The alternative is them making the realization well there isn't anything I can do to get people to like me, so I will just do what I did before where I just made a ton of money.
I am more surprised that South Korea blocked Samsung (A South Korean company). I find that EU tends to be really good at cracking down on American Companies that have an European competitor (Intel vs AMD). But to block both companies shows a non-bias view of the problem.
I never said you couldn't disagree with it or work to Change authority. However if you are pulled over or in the TSA line respect the fact the guy has authority over you. After you are out of his authority range you can do a lot to fix the problem. If you are in the military and a general comes, you salute him even if you hate his guts, and you don't give him the middle finger. Now if you have a legitimate problem with him you have sources to go to to complain. But there is a time and place for everything. Pissing off the TSA guy won't change actions. Working outside the TSA line has more effect.
Blame the organization not the developer. Week one we need a working prototype. Week two we need to put the prototype into production.
We want it to do all these features... 6 months down the line we need to put in production with half the features.
Yes this products will be only used internally.
As developers we are often not given the full picture and the organization changes the mind. Often good developers in bad organizations write bad code.
As we get a one sided view from a hostile observer.
For some reason I think it is more then just the shirt, or the fact he isn't white, I think it was most likely do the fact that he was probably being a jerk to the TSA, just to prove how bad they are.
I have traveled with business partners who are native of different countries. They for the most part go in and out just as fast as everyone else. I think once he had his laptop checked. But he was polite they were polite about it... No major problems at all. But in my travels I have seen white people being a jerk and the TSA gave them a much harder time.
Rule 1, when dealing with people with authority. Treat them with respect. They are granted Power and authority, treat them with respect otherwise they will use it more. This applies to Police, Judges, Government Leaders... They are allowed extra powers, for the most part they refrain from using them, but if you are going to make their lives difficult, they will use their power to make yours difficult too. You can disagree with them, but you need keep respectful of the fact they are in a position of authority. Yes you say a TSA agent is just a security guard... Perhaps so, but they have the power to allow or disallow you to the flight, so it doesn't matter how much they get paid, or their education level is, they are allowed to say yes or no.
While a joke. I am using a normal keyboard, with one hand. The other is on the mouse. (With a different window). While not as fast as normal, I can still type at a good speed. I can seem to type everything I need. !@#$%^&*()_+ My hands are average sized.
I really don't see the need for a new keyboard for a temporary usage.
Class actions are less about justice but revenge. If you win a big case you usually get like 100 bucks out of the deal (A lunch for two at a 2 star restaurant). The company need to pay the $100 * 1,000,000 plus legal fee. So they loose a lot of money, the victims let little if any (because they will appeal it over and over or just refuse to pay). You you loose, the company looses. The only one getting big money are the lawyers, unless you happen to get a movie deal out of it.
Stranger Danger/over protecting kids. Kids need a lot of exersize more then a healthy fit adult can follow their kids around. However we have became over sensitive on kid safety. That we lock our kids inside and the go out when you the parent wants them too. Keeping the kids indoors gets them on bad habits and lack of exersize get them to pay less attention in school so they medicate them and become more docile.
This is a new development 20 years or so in the 2,000,000 year old species.
Yes there are other factors too. But if someone is fat they are often poor too. Why are they poor because they are afraid of the world. They are afriad of the world because when kids they were too protected from it. When they start getting fat there are too many idiots out there who think they are helping by insulting them and make their lives harder and reinforcing their fear.

Now the republicans are spweing the same nonsense.
