seriously. anyone who makes their software choices based on which product line has the higher version number at the moment is a moron and should be fired.
And don't engine brake because that is poor form and is retarded. Use your damn brakes.
On the contrary. Modern engines cut off fuel completely when engine braking. When coasting any engine still uses (a little) fuel. So if you really want to save fuel, use engine braking.
Relying on other driver's braking lights is not safe anyway. Look out the windscreen and if the distance to the car in front of you is getting smaller, it's time to slow down.
Find out how much it will cost the business if the software stops working. Estimate the risk (number between 0 an 1) of this happening. Multiply these two numbers. The result in dollars is the amount of money your company will lose with certainty. Not maybe, with certainty.
Many if not most Danish home-brewers share their recipes using beercalc. There are over 8000 recipes here. Unfortunately for most of the readers on/. comments are usually in Danish.
The WRT54G is precisely the AP I've been using. Uh-oh. That's what I have - and I'm having a steel roof put on my house in September. On the bright side, my AP is placed in the basement.
Well, if the WiFi starts acting up at least I'll know why.
Laugh now, but thousands of years from now when you're looking for an all night Denny's around Omicron Percei 8, the system that you use will end up paying me patent royalties! Fine by me as long as you collect in person.
There's a Danish company that has turned getting rid of telemarketers into an art-form. Basically, no matter what the telemarketer is flogging, the answer is "We do not use that".
Almost every time I commit to commenting more, I can't find things to comment that aren't obvious in the code. What is obvious now usually isn't when you have to make a change in the code six months later. And yes, that is personal experience, gathered more frequently that I like to admit over the last 26 years I have spent writing code for a living.
(Almost) any programmer can write code that works. The hard part is writing code that keeps working.
When reviewing a resume, I look for things like growth & ambition.
Be very, very careful when you try to assess a person's growth and ambition. Climbing the corporate ladder is not the only way to grow.
For instance, I have absolutely no ambitions to become a manager. If that ever happened, you would see the Peter Principle in action. My ambition is to be an excellent software developer - and I am. My growth is in areas related to software development. I work hard at getting better at software development every single day. I am also 50 years old and have never held a job where I had any kind of management responsibilities. Would you hire a guy like me?
BTW, I work as a contractor. I have worked continously for my current customer for over five years. My contracts are usually for three months, i.e., I am evaluated every quarter - and they haven't thrown me out yet.

A speed of 250 mbps is not going to cut it. They need speeds measured in Mbps if it is going to be a success.

They buy a house with their new found fortunes with a $1800 a month mortage.
Taxes are to blame?
They ea tout more and their food costs $500 a month.
Taxes are to blame??
They get a nicer car and their lease is now $500.
Taxes are to blame???
No, bad budgeting skills are to blame.
'What do you know that he doesn't?'
A couple of the answers, that I would give:
I'm 52 and I still do programming for a living. Mostly because I love it but also because I don't want to be a manager.
The free version is simply adware.
Well, if you don't like that, here are two very simple solutions for you:

You obviously have never heard of the Peter Principle.

It doesn't hurt as much when you can hurt somebody else yourself. Obviously reading this book hurt the reviewer a lot.

Kalaha. It can be played using stones and holes in the ground. After all, you can't be sure your desert island has electricity...
Wow. 'apt-get' works on all distros now? That does make things a lot easier.
Now if we could get the same thing to happen to configuration...
Free speech isn't free if it has "ifs, ands, or buts".
I.e. you want to be able to say whatever you damn well please without it having consequences. Dream on...
You started programming in 1982?
1981, actually...
People can get a secretary to use Microsoft Office to do what you were programming in 1982
I seriously doubt that. In 1982, I was part of a team working on a CCIS (Command and Control Information System) for the Danish Navy.

us, original, North West Europeans (who've been here longer than you johnny-come-latelys) drink PINTS - always have, always will!
I'll drink to that - but only because a pint is slightly bigger than 0.5 liters.
