As they don't have the listening skills yet to enjoy it.
Non-Orchestral music which is popular today is rather light in texture. Vocal, Guitar(s), Bass, Drums vs. a full orchestra Violins, Violas, Cellos, Contrabass (for a string orchestra popular during the classical period) expenanded to Trumpits, Tubas, French Hones, Trombones, Flues, Oboes, Clarinetist, Timpani, and a variety of percussion having a much layered and complex set of works.
The "Rock Band" Layout was based on the Minimalistic Movement of having just enough to do what you need. In many ways making music easier to listen to as there isn't much going on and you can focus on the lyrics, orchestral layout focuses on the music and you can have really stupid lyrics and the song will still be good.
Except for the Fact that if you have a fire or flood or some other disaster to hit your site there is a good chance you data may be gone, as well physically stolen from you.
I was hoping that 3d shooters would go away like the 2d eat the dot in a maze games. Ok Wolfinstine 3d then Doom, and Quake.... But after that it is like OK a hand with a gun and shoot things.
It would be nice to know why the poster thinks this feature is important. The only things I can think of is the following... He is using parts from a hard drive to make a robot. So he wants to control a Robot using the hard logic board, to control the mechanisms. He is using the high speed nature of the drive and the noses it makes to make a speaker out of it by moving writing bits in the right spot. Trying to make a full real-time application. Researching better algorithms for drive storage. Attempting to make some sort of digital watermark on the drive.
The first two are just silly hacks which would get geek creds but not overly useful.
The Real Time System You probably need more then off the shelf and free software to do the trick
And the Research you could probably program a simulator to simulate the results.
The Watermark idea will work until someone fills up the drive.
So I would agree with the poster unless you come up with a good reason where there isn't an other approach I don't see the need to do this.
Here is the ultimate OpenBDS fix to boost performance.
Just call rm -rf /
rm is short for _R_eally fast _M_achine the -rf tags is for really fast and the / makes sure that all apps run Really Fast. Just be sure to do this as root as you will need permission to change all executables to run Really Fast.
We all know that OpenBSD is one of the most secure OS out there so you can trust that this command (which is already installed in the system) will work.
[Chorus:] Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when you gonna let me get sober. Let me alone. Let me go home. Let me back and start over.
Well, I've rambled around this dirty old town singing for nickels and dimes. Times getting' rough. I can't get enough to buy me a little bottle of wine.
[Chorus]
Well, little hotel, older than hell, cold as the dark in the mine. Light so dim, I had to grin, I got me a little bottle of wine.
[Chorus]
Well, the preacher will preach and the teacher will teach. The miner will dig in the mine. I ride the rods, trusting in God, huggin' my little bottle of wine.
[Chorus]
Well, pain in my head, bugs in my bed, pants so old that they shine. Out on the street, I tell the people I meet to buy me a little bottle of wine.
[Chorus]
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when you gonna let me get sober.
(With tongue in cheek) Well that is what you get when your group kills off its own young.
But honestly you could see this in some other ways...
The people that you mention tend to be real jerks and very unlikable.
Extreme Liberals, everything you do is bad, It will hurt the environment, or is the cause for all the problems in the world. In general a real downer after a while. Besides if you are that politically motivated it is hard for you to shut up and except the general culture, when you are part of the general culture you tend to reap its benefits. "The Man" isn't trying to hold you back, however if you fight with him he will not help you out much.
Atheist, A lot of them don't seem to respect other peoples beliefs, you meat a nice girl and tell her she is a fool that she believes in a god that will be a big turn off. Simple fact There is no solid proof for or against God... So arguing with someone who does believe in God will just create more conflict. Besides Religions are a group where people can join as a sub-comunity and gain benefits from it
Male Sexual Exclusivity lined to IQ... You mean being an Elitist bastard... For one IQ isn't the only way to measure smarts and two it in itself is a measurement of potential but not of actual use. I have seen a lot of really stupid people with High IQs. Espectily after they learn they have a High IQ because they think if they have a High IQ they know more then everyone else and is superior. So they end up being a jerk. Leaving the people with lower IQs who are nicer and are willing to listen to people who know more about stuff then them on different topics makes them far more approachable.
It isn't the fact that they belong to these groups but the fact that they are unable to adapt to cultural norms, thus not reproducing.
Yea, I see a Sad end to the Optimus Maximus keyboars. Too Little, Too Expensive, Too Late. The normal keyboard will probably still have a long life, as it is cheap and people know how to use it. For people who need something more configurable they will use the multi-touch displays. For the most people who know how to type do not necessarily look at their keyboard anyways. So the value of the Optimus keyboard is very small.
You could... Give them a Drop down of available zip codes to choose from.Based on Country, City, State (the more you choose the more narrow the search becomes)
Have them choose the location via a google maps(like) search when they pick the location then it fills out the data.
Don't let them off the field unless they have a valid zip code, or auto fill the remaining letters as a type ahead field until they are finished.
Keep required fields in yellow until they meet the validation rules then make them green.
If you change the code then change the state, City to match up...
There are a bunch of different ways to handle error cases. The problem with many Error messages is they go on the idea that the User is Stupid so its goal of the UI is to tell them what they did was wrong. While a Good UI shows them/forces them to do what is right.
It depends if the idea happened with you/your party supporting or rejecting the idea initially. So if it was your party idea then it is a success otherwise it would be a failure.
As any one needs to brag in a bad economy that they have the money for a Manhattan penthouse. I would say they are perfectly safe, heck I would even recommend drinking the rain water wash off, and the pidgins only add extra vitamins to the water.
Yes I do. You don't seem to realize that this is a message board where their ratings is based roughly on how fast they are posted. And you like to nitpick about simple careless mistakes vs. trying to get the big picture.
Try to make the UI in a way where it is difficult or near impossible for them to make user level errors which would popup an error message... And save error messages for things such as bad or corrupted install or lack of network connection (when the application is actually broken)
Giving Users error messages will only give you headaches. As they will give you wrong messages, or not at all, or panic when they get one. Go with logging if the problem is persistent then quit the app. Yes it takes more work... However if you though of the condition that could create an error message if you put a bit more though you may be able to get the UI so it doen't need to give an error.
You get in an accident. You go Well it is a Toyota bug. But Toyota goes well we gave you the fix you said "I don't know if I should install it, I mean it is a patch it just may not fix the problem"
Basically if you install it, there is a problem it is Toyota fault not you... If you don't then it is your fault.
I also fail to see where this Millions of Lines of code comes from. I haven't ever see anything that has a million of lines of code. I have seen groups of software when packaged together will be millions of lines of code. Even the Linux Kernel it is broken into a bunch of smaller programs, so a fix doesn't effect millions lines of code.
When some one says it is millions of lines of code it is them bragging how much effort they put into making the application deployable... However if there is a bug that needs to be fixed it is normally part of a module where you need to test to make sure that it doesn't effect around 5000 lines of code.
So you are letting your own personal belief structure rate the quality of his work. " I don't believe in God so any argument for the idea must be flawed, I will not bother reading such arguments as my mind is fixed" It is just like Christian Right not reading Darwin Theory of Evolution, as they will not allow their minds to be open to an opposing idea.
I guess I have gotten too old and my skills with the VCR has dropped but I don't remember being able to play live TV and hit the Pause button and had my show pause. Then Rewind play a part I missed then fast forward to the live content after say some commercials.
The VCR can simulate Time Shifting but only after it has fully recorded the program.
Well do you want people poking around your accounts even if they are not giving information that will lead to identity thief.
Say for example the following... They see a bunch of sales at a liquor store. Then they have an idea that you are a drinker/partier and give this information to your health insurance company so they can deny coverage.
Or How much porn you actually buy, say you were running for politics or put on the impression you are of strong moral values.
Or lets just say you are spending a little extra and not letting your wife know and that information is given to her and jump to a conclusion that you are cheating or doing something else.
Lets just access your EZ-Pass information and find out you have been speeding.
There are a lot of laws on the books. Most likely you have broken a few yourself. The reason for the unreasonable search laws and a attempt to protect privacy is because otherwise we will be drowning in fines and legal suits for our lives.
For most companies if Google does it then it is good enough for your company too.
I have wanted to do AJAX based apps for a Long time, however I got a lot of push back. When Google Maps came out I could say that Google is using it. And it gave me a green light to improve my Web Applications.
That same with IE 6 now that Google isn't supporting it, you can make a case that you shouldn't need to do so as well, And your Boss should be happy to upgrade, Either to Firefox if he is still on Windows 2000 or lower. Or finally push to IE 8. That is unless you work for GE

Kids in general hate classical music.
As they don't have the listening skills yet to enjoy it.
