Yeah he does his job and he has 4 years more experience doing it than these guys do. No sexual scandals. No kick-backs to friends he has in big business. He actually tries to improve things and I agree with him a lot of the time.
Romney's a villain in my eyes. He's a bad example; a person I'd be scared if children looked up to. First, he has a ton of kids. Imagine if we all did that, we'd be overpopulated like china in no time. There'd be so much competition that finding a decent job would be near impossible and quality of life would plummit. Next, he's super rich but pays less taxes than I do (% wise). Ok fine, that's the fault of the system, but what does he do with all that extra money? He donates it. Ok fine, I'm not a fan of donations because I like to see where my money is going, but where does it go? Mostly to the Morman church. The richest church in the United States by capita. So thats like donating to rich uncle pennybags in other words, because they're just going to use that money to build more churches and buy more land to bribe people to join their religion. I'll pretend Mormanism stands equal to all other religions in terms of legitimacy...
Frankly, Obama has done a bang up job and the Republican field is piss poor and is down to a bunch of former losers. The president's job is limited, and that was done on purpose to prevent any man from having too much power. For the most part, it doesn't matter what any candidates aspirations are, because if it goes against the other political bodies it will never happen.
My dad says "Anyone but Obama", but he can't ever seem to remember a good reason why. I can think of several reasons to not vote for both Republican front-runners although honestly the ones that stick out in my mind the most have less to do with their policies and plans and more to do with the kind of people they are.
I know someone who (was) married to a guy who's only 26 and he makes six figures selling some sort of medical machine. Apparently he plays video games all the time and is lazy and just works sparingly and travels a few times a month. You have to wonder about how much mark up is on these medical machines if a guy who works only only a few days a week or month with little schooling can earn 6 figures in commissions
Pretty old news isn't it? They already had a recall effort on Luna which failed (unsurprisingly) and I don't doubt the governor who fully supported this measure, will get re-elected. Idahoans vote based on name recognition and if there is an 'R' by their name
Also this measure seems like the kind of thing a democrat would do, which I find ironic
and dont get me started with the automatic wildcards and the advanced search options you have to MEMORIZE
Complete and utter user interface failure. I dont' use the word failure very often but windows 7 search is pathetically a failure and its one of the core functions of the OS.
Create a.log file with some text. Copy the text Paste the text into windows search and search the directory with that log file in it. It won't find it. Click on "search contents" Still wont find it turn off indexing and search contents again still wont find it
change extension to.txt oh there it is
i'm not aware of any program that integrates with explorer and does proper file contents search
Where's this.NET gravy train you speak of? I've yet to see a.NET job that didn't also require some serious web server experience or some experience with more obscure industry corners
Need 3 years experience in something basic and simple like C++ or Java (preferred) Need 2 years experience in obscure item 1 Need 1 year experience in obscure item 2 Need 5 years experience in industry A Need 10 years experience
So what 20 something year old is going to have 10 years experience? What person with 10 years experience is perhaps not going to have 3 years experience with C++ or Java? How do you manage to miss the two of the most predominate programming languages out there?
Seriously, most job requirements look like someone quit, and they just asked him to list out everything he knew rather than figuring out what was truly necessary for the job.
As a 26 year old, I exceed the requirements of most Level 3 job positions except for the obscure items that probably take a week to learn and a month to master. But I'll never get those magical years of industry experience without growing old and wasting my time in a beginner position. I mean, shit, I've been programming since I was 12 for christ sake. I write code as well I as write english sentences.
And yes, I know that most of these items are obscure. I've worked with a machine instruction language that was particular to only one manufacture of one particular machine used in probably only my industry, and yet I've seen my company put out job requirements that somehow expect someone with 2 or less years of programming experience to somehow have experience with it. I had to be trained in it and I didn't understand it until I was properly taught in a class since none of the managers had time to train me properly. I don't see why they can't reciprocate that same expectation on new hires. Essentially they're trying to hire people who they already fired or quit. And the job itself was easy once you get past that learning barrier.
And with a kid, i barely have time to clean my house, let alone try to learn something I see in a job application. My wife gets mad if my free time isn't spent with her...
Yup. But they screwed the pooch because the 3D experience on my 65" DLP is better than the theater. I bought a HDR TD10 3d camcorder and set the convergence so that items 5 feet from me... look 5 feet from me on my tv. In contrast in most movies everything just looks so flat. Maybe I have abnormally wide eyes but I doubt it.
Actually it says it had to go through the same hurdles, but it was less likely to be turned down because they aren't gobbling up a competitor.
As an AT&T customer I really get sick of how poorly the service works at my work. Oh if I go outside its a bit different but if I'm inside the usable spectrum drops drastically and when you get... I don't know, 4 thousand subscribers in a single cell, you don't really get any throughput. Adding spectrum wouldn't certainly help, especially if its on the lower frequencies that travel through walls better.
The atrix phone, which "does everything", cannot play music without the sound micro-pausing. The fix is in faux's kernel. The CPU isn't ramping up fast enough when there is a sudden large cpu load.
What is the #1 cause of random large CPU loads on the atrix? Motoblur. If you break motoblur by signing into a different phone, 95% of the random cpu spikes go away. You're not allowed to have two phones with the same account, so it disables the functionality on your old account. Except the phone seems to work perfectly fine without it. It also reboots a lot quicker with motoblur broke.
If you listen to music your phone will eventually randomly reboot If Android kills the built in music player app when it is idle to conserve memory, it will go into a state where shuffle is stuck on and your playlist will be corrupted
Motorblur's big feature is that it keeps the state of phone saved.
Except it doesn't. I've gotten 6 phones and in my most recent restore, it was 6 months out of date. My home screen arrangement was old and wrong, and my sticky notes were out of date. Oh yeah, Motorola doesn't actually test their phones with a working SIM card and motoblur account.
In fact motorola doesn't even turn their phones on for more than 15 seconds. A lot of refurbished phones get sent out with a defective screen that would had been caught if someone actually went to the set-up screen.
Also the hard reinstall only deletes the/data directory, so it will not fix a corrupt upgrade, OS installation, or user who dicked with their phone
People who listen exclusively to conservative news radio is a great example of this. Absolutely blows my mind to hear what some people actually believe and most importantly, what they believe others believe as well.
That said Siri sounds like something I wouldn't use because talking is an inferior input device that voids all sense of privacy I get when i use my phone.
Maybe he holds a cardboard sign that says "will hack for booze", then someone hands him their laptop and says "lets see it" then he goes all slappity slap on the keyboard and BAM!, "swordfish" was the password.
I don't believe the census when they say the average american family has less than 2 children. If you read how they came to that number, it is based on essentially what you mark down and nothing more. That means when you have a kid after one of your kids moves out, they don't consider that kid that moved out as coming from the mother. They don't do anything like a massive data crunching, its just excel type stuff.
EPS is only relevant for a company with no foreseeable change in demand.
Every tech company has a high uphill to remain relevant. Apple's iPhone was/is pretty cool, the Motorola RAZR was pretty cool, the blackberry was cool, Windows XP was pretty cool, Windows 95 was cool... etc etc You can't just sit on what you have and make money. Your against the clock
An oil company similarly has limited oil supplies and must keep exploring, but those don't deplete nearly as fast as relevance depletes does for a tech company (also don't forget oil companies are becoming 'energy' companies as they move away from oil).
Apple's iPhone is already feeling... dated to me. Its weird but when I hold my wife's iPhone 4 it just feels old compared to my Atrix even though the iPhone does many key features better than the atrix and motoblur isn't exactly the spiffiest interface out there. Her home button issues don't help at all (randomly quits working). Eventually she'll get like me and say "well, I'm not buying another Apple product again" after she gets fed up with all its quirks and shortcomings like I did with my iPhone 3G.
Apple's market capital is driven by speculation, but its probably the wrong kind. Some people buy into apple because they think it has a future, others buy into it because it seems to be more resistant against market swings as a large-cap stock and because it's had a long-term growth trend. The rest are bots running an algorithm that will continually drive up the price of the stock until something triggers them to decide the stock is going to go down... Then those bots will drive down the price of the stock when they go bearish on it. It is likely Apple's price/share is too high given their long term viability, but you do have to give credit to the fact Apple has built their long-term income on their iTunes store which people will probably keep on using well beyond when they decide Apple's hardware just isn't the best item to buy with their money.
However, when someone major starts selling songs cheaper than apple while at the same time giving more money to the creators of the content being sold, then I would say apple is in trouble. At that point, creators may stop using apple as a distribution source
Give a mid-entry level programmer an accelerometer, an SDK for it, and 2 days (on and off) and watch them come up with the same solution as this patent.
