Face it Pink say an opportunity to get more money from EMI and possibly get back rights to their music by showing breach. It's about money nothing more, nothing less. Which one is Pink anyway?
Dijkstra...isn't he that guy that built the crazy computer in Star Trek. Just kidding or am I. All programmers should start out in assembly. This will weed out those that are not serious. Knuth realized this long ago. They should then be made to program in a language I invented called GOTO where everything is a goto statement. This will show them exactly what they are giving up when they go to languages without gotos. Then I would have them write programs that are all in one file and only in caps. See how they like that. And finally I would have them write programs in some kind of XML based language like XSLT (ick). And just so they don't whine about their fancy IDEs they have to write a COBOL compiler in COBOL with punch cards. If they still want to be programmers, we can let them cut their teeth on Scheme for a couple of years using only ed (text editor). Then and Only then should they be allowed to even view Java or any other OO programming language. Amen.
What the F@#ck I just just quit using Java to use Go. Can't Google make up it's mind. Ok, it is all quite clear now. It isn't the language that makes a product it is what you make with the language that is the product. That explains the popularity of the totally impure ObjectiveC. Infidels! calm restoring. Naval gaze.
Repeat never use DVDs as long term storage. I have seen them go unreadable anywhere from 2-5 years. I have fired up disk drives 10 years later with no problems. They are cheap reliable and fast. Don't try and get fancy just compress and store data sets over multiple volumes. Don't use RAID.
I was one of those developers chafing at the bid to get my hands on Go. Once I started I never looked backed. I was able to write my own version of HelloWorld in half (that is 1/2) the time it took me to do it in C and it was bug Free with no memory leaks. I think that pretty says it all. If you're looking for a programming language that solves all your coding problems look no further. Now that I have abandoned Java my manually linking programs with xml skills have declined sharply. Similarly after abandoning Lisp my ability to match parenthesis's has almost vanished. No matter, with Go I perceive the universe in my belly button.
How are any of these generalizations any different than any other industry? There is age discrimination by some in both directions. Older workers simply take tired old ideas and repackaged them as something new. Younger workers think their ideas are actually new and expend a lot of effort reinventing things they are not old enough to know already existed. The cycle is nearly complete. Cloud computing is a repackaged version of centralized mainframe computing. Actual advances in industry are much more gradual than people like to believe.
A few years ago I applied for and receive a patent number 1905647384656 for "Inverting and sending printed material digitally over phone lines." Since the PTO has refused to pay me royalties ($.20 per page) they are legally bound not to process inverted fax documents. My next patent in the queue is on "Viewing printed material sent digitally over phone lines." This patent is pending but is likely to approved shortly.
I didn't know that his words were that well read by intelligent thoughtful readers to begin with. Some how he thinks that having a small thought thoughtful audience and a large thoughtless one is preferrable to just have no audience at all. This is primarily what he would have without the internet.
Most IT professionals have adopted the British Maid outfit for the help desk, Norge repairman butt crack pants for the techs and Bondage Mistress for the CIO.
Wasn't this mental exercise called DynaBook aka Newton aka "personal intelligent communicator" aka "personal digital assistant". BTW the Coke has just announced "Coke Zero" aka Diet Coke aka Diet Pepsi. Are our attention spans really that short?
Think about it. Eventually each of us will have our own DNS entry to identify our individual web presence. The things we make available to do business, social networking etc will be identified through DNS. Why wouldn't Google want to be in on this? Just because there is a profit motive doesn't necessarily mean it is nefarious. This will allow them to add value at a fundamental level. I can see a day when Facebook is irrelevant and people create there own ad-hoc social networks through their own web-presence.
I'm tired of 2D, 3D here I come. I'll be able to watch YouTube 3D and instead having a 2D desktop I'll be able to get a 3D one just like the real thing. I can't wait for the 3D porn. 3D will give the old "in out" an entirely new perspective. What a beautiful world it will be, what a glorious time to be free..
Obviously there are not a lot experienced embed heads reading slash. Java:( If you don't like ifdef this or that try Java. Instead of ifdef, Java programmers us xml in what I call program by configuration file. It adds an entirely new dimension to programming that most skilled programmers would never have thought of. It is even more delightful when they use multiple overrides on their configurations files and you have to hunt through multiple files to to see how things are configured. Not only that, they can actually change the way code executes with configuration files. So not only do you have to look at code to see execution paths, you have to dig through multiple configuration files. It is truly the strangest methodology I have ever encountered. Stick with a C or C++ library. QT works well. For key value searchers Berkeley has no peer but SQLite works ell if you are into SQL.

I'm starting a pool. How much longer before the mainframe is re-invented to power cloud computing. I'm taking 1.5 years. Any other bets?

I'm at work or at home at least %93 percent of the time.

So now the real return on advertising is known. 50% sounds rather good to me.
It will not be viable until we get 3D porn. Then I'm in :)
How many more cancer deaths will be created due to constant exposure to x-rays? I for one would rather get the frisk.

If you don't you are obviously hiding something.

This is news? Nothing new here.
What a new idea using user feedback to improve a design:) Another Microsoft first or simply the first time for Microsoft.
badda boom.
