My Job Went To India

· Score: 4, Informative
We outsourced to India... and are now scrapping and rewriting in-house....
The code works but... trying to change anything with the time differences involved is a nightmare, it does not matter who they are just where they are...
I agree it can increase funding to interesting research....(Unix is not a good example, unless I am mistaken it was written and improved despite AT&T not because of them)..but look at all the new innovative research Microsoft has done and innovative products it has produced... err...?
(Please don't say C# or.NET it was written mostly by Anders Hejlsberg's team poached from Borland and not by the innovators at Microsoft)
Select which candidate you wish to vote for Print out the result (Punch/Print/whatever) Check it is what you voted for Put the machine readable printout in the ballot box
Machine cannot be tampered with, and it does not matter if it is
The Votes are real physical things that have been confirmed to be correct by the voter and can if required be counted manually
If Vista did things that people needed or wanted they would put up with it's hardware demands and annoyances, but it does not seem to have any advantages over XP for most business and home users
NT was ahead of cheap hardware when the hardware caught up it was good, Vista will still be power hungry rubbish when the hardware catches up...
People have seen the same interface on OSX and Linux doing the same things with far less processor and memory requirements...
To be useful you have to have access to many pictures of the scene, all of these are likely to be copyrighted, and so any commercial application will not be viable...So who exactly are they doing this for?
Ordinary people do not have nearly enough photos to make it work....Companies will not be able to use it due to the vast majority of the material being copyrighted and unavailable for commercial use..
What this actually means is the our current model of solar system formation is wrong... it was based on our own solar system only and so was always suspect
It however has nothing to say about the likelyhood of the type of solar system produced until we have a theory that actually explains all the systems we currently see...
The problem is, if someone puts the electronic passport in the reader and it passes then they don't look at the passport itself, or check the details, they just wave you through....
If all they have is paper passports at least it has to look genuine to someone who sees thousands every day (which can be quite difficult)
Most optimising compilers can nowadays optimise to a particular machine far better than most programmers and at most programmers might write high level code to coerce the compiler to optimise better... unless you are talking embedded systems or very low level code
The JVM and CLR are one step away from the machine and cannot be optimised to the machine without losing their ability to run code anywhere
JVM supports Java and (at a very quick look) 25+ others
CLI supports C# and (and a quick look) 40+ others
This is because the JVM was designed to run Java and nothing else but people are inventive and persistent (and have had some years) whereas the CLI was designed to be and is mostly fairly generic and so it is easier to write new languages for it...
So if I have hacked the Clear laptop so I can use the Clear channel and my laptop is in the proper bag, the plans for the nuclear bomb should be safe on their journey to North Korea then...
No you are wrong if they have nothing on you then they have to let you go
If they still have "reasonable" suspicions and further investigations to do then they don't- and this has always been true.....or they can just turn you away at the border, they do not have to let you in...
Managed code is just compiling to a virtual machine rather than a real one...
Java does this badly (it compiles to a machine that can only practically run Java, anything else is very hard to write).NET/CLR does this much better the virtual machine is much more generic
But a Bytecode machine is still one step away from the real machine and so is necessarily slower and less optimised (I know the bytecode compiler does it's best but...)
When the CLR runs on anything but x86(32) and x86(64) let me know....
The Knights Templar were merged with the Knights Hospitaller who still exist as The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem - they are recognised as a sovereign state (with no territory) and are based in Rome
They are trying to claim they are an organisation which still exists and is recognised in international law.... !
Competition : the UK has four major mobile carriers none charge for incoming calls/SMS
The all over charge for SMS - and the regulator has noticed and is starting to take action (it is like a juggernaught slow to get going but unstoppable and unswerving...)
Since banning smoking on planes the air quality has actually got worse because they don't have to constantly expel smoke and get fresh air into the system, they just recycle the cabin air...
It's thought that this may be contributing to DVT...

Do the Authors want the movie made - Yes
Do the Authors want the movie released - Yes
Does copyright law allow this to happen - No
Conclusion copyright law is broken because the authors have lost control of their IP ...

Possibly the most US Centric article anyway - The internet did not melt because of a US company providing US biased content to US Citizens
Really.... and in other news there are more people on the internet in China than in the rest of the world put together ....

Dumping Chemicals - If the fines are less than what you are saving ... then keep dumping ...
Because of course you always run a fully 3D interface when you remote into the rack-mounted server ....
This is about Oil (and other resources) so it is most definitely Denmark, Iceland, Canada, USA, and Russia *NOT* NATO....
Except the players seem to be Denmark, Iceland, Canada, and Russia (oh and the USA but only as a minor player)
Since it is one of the few treaties it has actually signed, and it's claim is tiny it probably can't be bothered with the hassle of breaking it ....

Add to that C# and .NET their innovation was buying Borland's Delphi team and letting them loose
*Buy rival/new product
*rebadge it
*add a small number of features
*profit!
