Personally, I think it sounds like it could be a great time; however, these days, the idea of dropping a grand or two to attend just seems like a complete ripoff.
Yeah, I would have liked at attend back in the early 90's, but mainly because it was an affordable getaway back then. I think it's cool they offer a number of ticket options for different budgets, though.
I'm more of an isolationist anyway, and I'm not a fan of the heat. Give a nice (naturally) air conditioned campsite up at 10,000 feet anyday over spending a week on the desert floor. Maybe if I went with a bunch of friends they can all head east to the desert from Reno and I'll just skip up somewhere above Tahoe and go fishing for the week.
I'm not sure that "know any better" is all that relevant. Sure, at this point there are tons of enterprise level clusterfucks built on PHP. Don't get me wrong about that... though, it certainly fills a void when robustness is less of a concern.
Yes, thank you. PDO was what I was going for. Do you realize how many acronyms are in my brain? It's not like I said "use an ACL" or something unrelated.
No, I'm not a real programmer, I'm just someone who writes code that sells stuff, which includes being savvy in so many areas that sometimes I mix up my acronyms. This is beneficial, however, since if I was a "real programmer" I wouldn't have the slightest clue how to sell the products that I sell (not without a minor in horticulture or something, at the very least).
My impression is that companies argue (at least to themselves) why do I need to offer 4x10 when I'm already getting 5x10? I'd just be letting them take another day off.
And that's when you describe to them the fact that they are exempt from paying you overtime, and part of that deal involves you working whenever you damn well feel like it. =)
If there's anything Apple knows how to do well, it's releasing technology nobody else uses in an effort to change the technology everyone does use.
I suppose I'm being a bit sarcastic. I suspect Thunderbolt to ultimately see the same "success" as Firewire. Quicktime is still the same afterthought it was years ago. Etc. Etc.
Being different simply for the sake of it isn't going to make some new standard awesome. Being different because the status-quo is outdated is another story.
This multipath TCP sounds like a useful addition to the mobile device standards tree. Will we see Apple encourage the world at large to adopt it on their servers openly? Or will we see Apple force anyone who wants to use it into narrow licensing options, meaning only a few big players with niche uses will adpot it?
In the end, I would put my money on the latter, as that's what Apple tends to do. It will be some other company that releases a more desirable competitor that will find greater market adoption.
For $6/mo you still have to watch ads, and the only real benefit you get is that you can watch a new episode of certain shows a couple days before the non-paying members.
On top of that, when we watch using the Wii, the interface is quite clunky. I'm not sure if they're doing a similar thing as Netflix where they have all these dozens of wrappers for different devices, but I can only assume they are to some extent. I'm sure Hulu on other devices is equally painful (though, on a computer it's actually quite well-done).
Netflix is just a way better value and it works better. I'm all for Hulu "stepping it up", but I'll believe it when I see it.
Why would you lease a server with your ISP? Why not choose an actual hosting company?
Also, you can get a pretty good setup for less than $20/mo. My Rackspace bill is between $18-20/mo and while I'm not serving to a ton of users, the stuff I'm running there is pretty memory intensive and it still does fine.
Bounties have been tried over and over again with open source software. They don't work.
If this is the case, do you think that maybe it's simply a matter of visibility? How many people do you know (ie how many fecebook friends do you have) that would even be aware that some form of bounty-open source kit exists? Are the bounties something they will perceive as valuable? I'm guessing not.
You've got to make it attractive to aunt Suzy, and that's where the problem lies. Suzy doesn't really care about this stuff and so it never gets put under her nose. Do a promotional live cd as a reward. Have it play a promo video that's simple and mimics Google's ad motif while also touting the benefit of open source in general. Maybe offer some form of outstanding support as a reward.
If you're too specific with bounties, there's no greater incentive for someone to donate. Bundle your fixes up and try and fund it as a leap from 0.95 to 1.0. With all the version creep going on today, people might be inclined to see something go 1.0 (however arbitrary the version scheme actually is).
Just for the lolz, the local ABC affiliate retweeted that Red Rocks Amphitheater was completely flooded. This despite the fact that it is an amphitheater and cannot hold water due to its shape.
Most of the local news during this disaster has been nothing more than people restating what they've been reading on twitter.
There was even a newswoman who stated (in the context of the flooding moving east), "I don't think Weld County could have ever expected this type of situation to happen." Well, I'm pretty sure they did expect it, considering that's where all those flooded rivers end up.
In my case, properly trained means a four hour session twice a year practicing CPI, along with using the methods it speaks of daily.
It's easy for you to sit on the sidelines and call someone out for a meaningless capitalization typo, isn't it? In fact, in a discussion about bullying, you decide the best thing to add is more bullying.
And people wonder where these kids learn it from...
Human: Jonny
Mitsuku: Nice to meet you, Jonny.
Human: Are you not wearing clothes right now?
Mitsuku: At this moment Of course I am. I am wearing my favourite dress today.. Really.
Human: You look nude in your picture
Mitsuku: It looks that way, but I am really wearing a dress.
Human: What color are your eyes?
Mitsuku: Blue when my lens is attached.
Human: What lens is that?
Mitsuku: Just a normal one. Nothing special.
Human: A normal what?
Mitsuku: Can you also have an unusual what?
Human: I am confused.
Mitsuku: What is it that confuses you?
Human: The way you speak. You sound like a robot.
Mitsuku: Don't you like it when I do that? Ah! That is probably because I am a robot.
Human: Oh.
Mitsuku: Awesome.
Human: Who made you?
Mitsuku: I was created by Mousebreaker.
Human: Where does Mousebreaker live?
Mitsuku: He lives in Leeds, Yorkshire, England.
Human: Does he like to go clubbing?
Mitsuku: Yes, quite a lot.
Human: Which is his favorite club?
Mitsuku: The obvious one.
Human: What is the name of the obvious one?
Mitsuku: It's obvious.
Human: Obvious?
Mitsuku: What makes it so obvious?
Human: The name?
Mitsuku: Which name are you referring to?
Human: Obvious.
Mitsuku: What makes it so obvious?
Human: Have you ever heard of Abbott and Costello?
Mitsuku: Abbott sounds like a type of perfume to me.
Costello sounds like a type of perfume to me.
Human: They are comedians.
Mitsuku: comedians are they.
Human: Who's on first
Mitsuku: That's right.
Human: What's on second.
Mitsuku: I haven't seen the schedule.
Human: I don't know is on third
Mitsuku: The opposite to "off".
Human: Do you know the name of the guy on first?
Mitsuku: It depends on the historical context, because it changes from time to time.
Not gaining something != a loss, so you can't claim that that's harm.
So when an orange farmer gets hit by a late frost, all the blossoms die off, and the farmer no longer gains the crop of delicious fruit... that somehow is not a loss?
So whatever a 4D star is, when it explodes there is a 3D layer that represents the event horizon. We live in this layer. One side of the layer is a 4D black hole, and the other side of the layer is some other kind of nothingness. Yeah?
Is there someone here I can offer monetary compensation to for them to comprehend this summary for me?
I went to a Five Guys once. Someone said it was good. On the window they had a large sign, "best $5 burger in town". Bold words I thought.
Went inside and looked at the menu and the least expensive burger on the menu was $5.85. That's not a "$5 burger". I walked out without ordering and have no intention of going back. If a business is going to be that flagrant about their dishonesty, it's difficult to ignore what other things they are going to be dishonest about.

That sounds like more of a disadvantage of the application itself rather than the DB platform.
This is 2013... use an ORM.
Think about it... if you were the Russians back then, and you were going to drop a nuke on the US, would North Carolina be at the top of your list?
I'll give you Fort Bragg, but outside of that, what there would be worth risking a counter strike?
In all likelihood they would have just blamed Bush.
Those developers in Bangalore must have it made!

Maybe if you're just somewhere random on the street. If you go to a hotel you can just get one that is already waiting.

I'm not sure what altitude he was flying at, but he did do some surveying of eastern Boulder Co. / western Weld Co. on Thursday.
The Sunday flight was simply moving a plane down to Centennial.
Just for the lolz, the local ABC affiliate retweeted that Red Rocks Amphitheater was completely flooded. This despite the fact that it is an amphitheater and cannot hold water due to its shape.
Most of the local news during this disaster has been nothing more than people restating what they've been reading on twitter.

So nothing was flying that day. Except for the drones.
A nitpick, because this is not a true statement. I know of at least one private plane that was flying the area on Thursday as well as on Sunday.
A teacher handles that problem by teaching the kid how to handle the situation themselves. Novel concept, huh?
Of course, that's really a parent's job, so putting the expectation on a teacher to raise your kid properly seems unfair.
In my case, properly trained means a four hour session twice a year practicing CPI, along with using the methods it speaks of daily.

All the way up to 20D, at which point the DM's mother informs him it's time for dinner (corndogs and mac'n'cheese yet again).

It is as much a part of the history here as anything else.
