It is just difficult to conceive why someone would even attempt to use other services on an Android phone. Essentially, the market does not see a need to do so. I agree....difficult to compete with free, works, awesome.
Very good argument. We have machines that are supposed to serve us but people are still pecking on them like typewriters when they should be telling the machine what to do. It is inexcusable that people cannot script basic functionality. They act as if moving past the point-and-click interface requires years of computer science education and stroke of genius they cant rightly or fairly be expected to have.
Banks are one of the most antiquated troglodytes on the planet. It goes to the root of the governments who are essentially run by the banks more or less. There is little drive to provide better services to consumers as the entire payments and clearing industry is mired in something I would dare call (old) "technology." There are very few players, invisible to consumers and far outside thee average consumers' intellectual reach the system, very simple, seems complex and magical. It is not. It is an old, crusty, dusty, farty mechanism rooted in the 1800s at best. The innovators are hamstrung by politics and regulation, almost happy to be so because this monopolistic club is very profitable. One of the greatest achievements AND ills of mankind is the current (certainly not modern) banking system.
99% just poke around in whatever language they know (yeah, I'm talking about most senior devs and architects). Every architect I have met knew like one language/framework. Knowledge of: Encryption? No. Infrastructure? No. Application Servers? No. Build/Deployment? Next to none. Network Transport? No. Database? Barely. Most are totally clueless about what their software is doing really. Logging and Auditing? Blank Stares. The people who are really good and competent technically and who have a command of the above mentioned skills often get corralled into management.
I would rather have a wristband that interfaces with my smartphone via bluetooth than carry a freakin phone on my person while beating my brains out on a stairmaster...or worse, flogging an elliptical.
Yep...in Java. When I first started coding in C#/.NET I was thrown back by how much outdated information was available (via Google search for "how do I" questions) because of frameworks and libraries that were obsolete. Java community is much more robust, accurate, and frameworks often live on through many years of improvements.
Microsoft is a great company. Recent leadership changes are proving very positive. In light of this news it shouldn't be long before we have Java code compiling and running on.NET runtimes.
Lost on me on the first half of the first sentence. Most rapes are never reported. The girls tell their friends...maybe their mother but I doubt it...that's about it. I think the majority of the 25% figure is girls at college waking up in the middle or end of it after a night of heavy drinking. Some never wake up or remember the incident. I have had these incidences recounted to me by the victims and their friends.
There are highly talented design professionals producing and selling awesome templates for pennies. Check out themeforrest. You can find flexible designs with all of the boilerplate already complete, leting you focus on the customer's requirements. No need to build from scratch. CMS? Bleh.

What could go wrong?
I think 30 years of trouble free operation from a washing machine is the benchmark...15 years? I would never buy that brand again.
You want hug?....I break washing machine...fuck you!!

I do not know what your acronyms are and damn you for expecting me, the reader, to google them. Next skill? Learn to write.

Thanks for the link.
It is all a gross intersection of literature and raw commerce...

Facebook to soon cause an uproar due over a flagrant privacy violation
DOH! Have a Lumia 920...was excited...thought I saw a squirrel.
Book learning? Tons of it! Street smarts? No so much.
They should know how to do that...come on.

I dont know man, I'm redesigning a web service built by a senior developer who certainly did not have the capacity for it.
If you have to convince a girl something is cool...it is not cool.

I tried WordPress for a client...twice...it was a nightmare. If it isnt a blog forget it.
Thanks...I just checked out MODX and used it to build a good solid website for a client. Got to trash a Wordpress install...a great feeling.

PHP changes and updates break the site...sometimes these changes are forced.
