What are you, 15 years old? Why you grow up and get a real job, and then want a better job, you'll do well to not burn any fucking bridges.
2 weeks notice is the absolute minimum considered acceptable for any job beyond flipping and frying things. If you flake out on an employer it will follow you to your next employer.
FYI you are completely and totally wrong. A 64 kbps telecom line is 65536 bits per second. You multiplied bits by baud rate and fucked up when you labeled your shit, just like the telecoms.
My 1 Gbps ethernet port does in fact transmit/receive with a throughput of 1 Gbps, not 1,000,000,000 bps. As does every fucking one I've ever fucking seen.
2.6 GHz is indeed 2,600,000,000 Hz. No one ever said otherwise.
The UNIT IS KB OR Kb. If you see a K without a B then it's K and means 1000. If you see a K with a B or a b then it's KB or Kb and means 1024. This isn't hard. Do you see a fucking B in GHz? Do you? You fucking shitless wonder?
I don't understand how you fucking dipshit morons can't get something so fucking simple through your fucking skulls. You end up inventing the confusion and ambiguity that you complain about when you invent new bullshit terms to replace perfectly valid and correct terms that are already in use in countless published works. If the world were to ever accept the "kibi" horse shit, then the world would never know what an author meant when writing "KB" unless they explicitly defined it. And since works from the 50s, 60, 70, 80, 90s, and the majority of the 00s were written before this fecum came about, they did NOT define it because the term already had a well-known definition - 1024 fucking bytes.
Pluto is a planet. The new definition of a planet is an arbitrary change from the old definition. There was zero reason to change the definition, there were many reasons not to. People who fuck around with language, even with technical definitions, need to wisen up.
Inflammable and non-inflammable are correct. Flammable and non-flammable are incorrect.
Kilobit and kilobyte and Kb (and kb) and KB are correct, and mean 1024 bits (or bytes). Kibibit and kibibyte and Kib and (kib) and KiB are incorrect, and mean you're a fucking dipshit.
Hexagon and Hexadecimal are incorrect. Say it with me, kids: Sexagon! Sexadecimal!
Now please continue to post loads of bullshit about how I'm wrong and you're right. If you're under the age of 30 your opinion is invalid because you indoctrinated by utter morons.
Their focus group is tons of Windows users who opt in to usage statistics collection. While I want the traditional desktop, with start button, and NOT that Metro shit, I'm not going to accuse MS of pulling this shit out of their ass on a whim.
They do insane amounts of usage statistics tracking. The problem is that this results in designing for the middle of the bell curve. Good for MS, good for most people, bad for users who actually care.
Helicopters are where it's at. Unless you want your video looking like it was shot on an iPhone, you'll need big, heavy, expensive cameras. UAVs can't deal with those.
Employers pay people shit. Employers treat people like shit. Employers pay themselves / their CXOs way too much. Employees have to deal with increased costs of living - housing, health care, food, gas, debts from student loans, cars, etc. Employees want, need, and deserve more money, or at least coverage for health care, gas, daycare costs, part of housing, etc.
Thus employees hate their employers, and do just enough to not get fired.
Employers don't want to pay for these things so they hire schlubs who don't care because they're young and stupid, and looking for their first job offer straight out of college. Employers end up hiring useless people. Employers end up requiring more of applicants. Minimum of a bachelor's degree and 10 years experience with this or that for an entry level position. People who normally wouldn't (and shouldn't) go to college end up wasting 4 years and a lot of money at one. Colleges are concerned about their reputation (because it affects their income stream when some jackhole publishes a popularity contest ranking the X "best" colleges). Colleges then actively work to ensure that enrollment stays high and graduation rates stay very high.
Colleges let a lot of dumb people in, and give a lot of dumb people degrees, charging them out the ass for it. Graduates are either unskilled and desperate, or skilled and know their worth. Employers can't tell the difference, and don't realize that their job postings, with low pay and high requirements, attract the unskilled and desperate (who will either lie about their years of experience or just hope that they don't find anyone who actually qualifies so they'll have to settle). Employers hire shitty employees and the cycle repeats forever.
The solution has to come from both ends:
Employees: Pay your employees well and pay attention to who you're hiring. This might be hard when you're current employees are incompetent and don't even know what you need. Expect high turnover at the beginning of this change,
Academia: Not everyone is fit for college. It's not some ticket to success. In most cases it's a ticket to a life of debt. Stop selling the bullshit dream of college for everyone and focus on the kids who actually care and would benefit. Again, your current crop of fluffers are incompetent, and you'll have to deal with that at the beginning of this change.
This isn't an MS problem it's OEMs not supporting devices and wanting people to buy new ones. Same shit that plagues Android. It's worse with Apple because when they pull it it's not an lazy/incompetent OEM, it's the judge, jury, and executioner locking out certain features of iOS updates for no technical reason.
Karma lol, what a dipshit. My Karma is permed out at the max. THE MAX.
The contention was absolutely not that the single user metric was not useful - you were fucking crying about your grandma, a user, being counted the same as you, a user, in the single-user metric. The metric exists because people find it useful. If it is not useful for your purposes then don't use it.
Please continue to accuse me of working for Microsoft, as if working for them would be a bad thing. Grow up. You manage exactly 0 servers and have exactly 0 use for such statistics. You are nothing but a fanboy who wants to see your browser of choice "win" because you tie some sort of personal measure of self-worth to use of a product.
No, you only need the relatively limited transistor count necessary for 2D output. All those extra transistors for the acceleration functions are a complete and total waste of space.
Anyway, back on-point, current ARM processors are designed architecturally with explicit security considerations in mind which are fundamentally impossible to implement on x86 cores, so no, you actually can't just "use the GPU."
I've explained this fully and clearly already. You don't get it. So now you get the following:
And yet, virtually anyone who administers a public website can tell you that SC's original figures are complete crap. IE most certainly is the most popular browser right now. And Chome is third place. Not second. Definitely not first.
Citation needed. Your anecdote about your site is not evidence that a real study must be wrong.
Citation needed? Go run a fucking webserver and track the stats. Or look at any of the fucking evidence people have posted online or here. This fucking generation is absolutely fucking useless. You never want to do any thinking or research, you just want to argue about the results. Someone posts evidence? "Hurr durr anecdotal sample size of one because I can't count".
So fuck off with that "citation needed" horse shit, especially when this fucking page is riddles with actual data and citations. How about I respond with one of you kids's other fucking gems? "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence!" Stat Counter is making a blatantly bullshit claim and has provided blatantly bullshit evidence, and they got called out on it, just like when Google claimed Bing was stealing their search results. Now the fanboys and spinsters are out in full force trying to damage control Stat Counter's bullshit.
IE is the most used browser, by far, when counting unique users. There's just no fucking contest, no matter tight you close your eyes and how hard you wish for it.
Don't even bother with oakgrove, he's a Google fanboy through and through. That moron added me to his "foes" list because I called him out on his shit before.
Even if you think of this (as another commenter has it) as a "unique workflow", I think it misses an even greater source of error in NetApplication's approach. Consider:
- My grandma uses IE as preloaded on her Windows PC and goes to, say, Gmail (yes, at least I got her off Hotmail:) once a day to get her cat pictures. She's counted as a single unique visitor by NetApp. - I go to Gmail with Chrome in the morning and live on it all day, loading hundreds if not thousands of pages during that time. Despite that, I'm _still_ counted as a single unique visitor by NetApp. Even though the "eyeball time" (the real "browser usage") between me and grandma is vastly different.
I think the "single user" metric has an inherent biased towards low-usage, unsophisticated users - the ones most likely not to have replaced IE as loaded on their systems. So it makes sense (not even counting the geo-weighting issues) that they'd have IE's share much higher than anyone else's. Though no single approach is perfect, that's why I think of the two StatCounter's is netter. (And frankly it's always been more in line with other metrics - like the Wikimedia stats - that seem unbiased and cut a wide swath of the Net. NetApplications has always been the outlier.)
No, idiot. The single user metric has a bias toward counting single fucking users. You don't get two votes just because you care more. You don't get two tallies in the singer-user metric because you use more. You are a single user.
It makes him look guilty of the "not wearing a condom" charge. He should just go face the trial, especially since there's no way they can prove he's guilty (it's just her word vs. his).
A man's word versus a woman's with regards to a sexual matter in a western court, with circumstantial evidence out the ass that the women involved made it up and threw parties for the man after the alleged incident. Add in actual that they refused to sign a sworn statement, and that they wanted to drop their accusations.
There's no chance in hell he's guilty, and there's no chance in hell he'll be found anything but guilty.
It doesn't happen now because you can't do it now, lol?
Hey Bob, bring the kids and wife over Friday - we're firing up the grill and having a movie night. What are you watching? Just got the BluRay of that movie everyone saw 7 months ago. Yeah, maybe we'll stop by, dunno.

The easiest way to steal a vehicle is to just tow it.
I don't think they've thought this cunning plan all the way through.
To "pin" something you need to have access to it in the first place. Guess where most of the things you can "pin" are stored? Yup - the start menu.
The only way pinning can work well is if they reinvent the start menu, but disguise it as something else.
They did reinvent it.
It's called Metro.
No, I don't like it either.
I hit win+r then open up a command prompt then type in the full path, without tab completion.

No, you see, MrHanky said the technology isn't there yet. It won't be there until Apple invents it and calls it Retina+.
