I will give you something about individual behavior
Here is a point to ponder
Take 100,000 Kids and have their parents totally neglect them and never say I love you or every do anything for them other than beat them and treat them worse than their dog
Id fall somewhere in that category
Now take 100,000 Kids and have parents who do them right and say they love them teach them moral responsibility, yadda yadda (skirting around any religious stuff here were just talking basic right and wrong thats not my point) Just parents who love their kids and show it in a way most children percieve and understand.
I am willing to bet the self esteem and ability and confidence as a person is HUGELY different in the group of children with parents.
Im lucky in that my parents fall into the first category but I made it and found someone who showed me love,
Point is up to a point you are correct, but a lot of factors go into developing a person, things have to be learned including behaviors of right and wrong.
I am using IE4 (Yeah so sue me). And the Slurry sucks thing along with *something* checking source now has TOTALLY thrown the formatting for this article out of wack.. Anyways. Im complaning, afterall I do not have to read/.
I am a coder, I could fix Dia, but why not pay for something that does the same thing. I couldnt pay someone to fix it quicker than I could to pay for VISIO.
I'm not picking on you, really, but this post demonstrates the type of arrogance that makes lawyers one of the most despised professions around. The mere fact that you feel the need to tell intelligent, educated people that they must remain silent unless they are practicing lawyers (or why else would you feel the need to mention your insurance?) says volumes about just how screwed up this country is. Yes you are picking on him:P.
Second, he said something you chose to ignore. He said if you dont know something to be fact dont just say it as an uninformed person. He did NOT say if your not a lawyer dont post something.
He just simply observed that is something seems approximate to how something should be it becomes popular and sets the/. mindset thingie and it gets modded up even if it is patently false.
I did detect perhaps a hint of arrogance, but it was well informed arrogance deserved at the mannerisms most people post here anyways. HAH HAH Talk about arrogance.. Look around this forum its infected with it.
Heh, Motive IS NOT a factor in proving guilt/innocence in America in a Murder case.
Movies will make you think that it is but no sadly you can be convicted guilty with 0 motive.
Manslaughter/second degree murder can be considered crimes of passion where the crime is commited on the spur of the moment, First degree murder is a pre-meditated act/
Okay.. Not that I doubt anyone who is postulating about compression or saying IBM is not sure what they are doing or anything, since I bet some of you guys could give IBM folks a run for their money with compression.
I dont know anything about compression so I can only look at this from a higher level perspective.
I am going to assume that IBM can afford more than one person with Ph.D 's in math and people specifically who know all about compression. Given you guys are just not postulating the first hardships IBM would most likely face and given IBM is releasing announcements or something to that effect about this... Dont you guys think that IBM has covered most of this and its probably pretty baseless to say they dont know what they are doing?
Of course one must always learn things for themselves, but Hmmn, a thread on/. versus IBM's engineers. I will now approach this concept with some skepticism, and know what questions and things to look for.. But I think its pretty safe to say that IBM is probably not just shoveling vaporware out for entertainment or anything.
OH Cut it.:-) Come on Dia is no where *NEAR* Visio.
I have been using Visio for about two weeks of heavy use and through random clicking today I ended up at the Gnome-Office site from gnome.org and I checked out Dia, even went so far as to download it and compile it on my FreeBSD machine and it *PALES* in comparison to Visio. To do the work I have been doing today I would *GLADLY* pay what I did for visio than struggle through the work in Dia
It is fairly new as a program and Visio just has it beaten hands down. Maybe when it grows into a real application and not just a working prototype that the UI will probably change 90 times and throw off any hardcore usage for some time. Yes im slamming it.. quick run to your moderate into oblivian buttons.
Its simple I can do work in Visio that I just *CANT* do in Dia. Period. Does the cost of visio mean anything if I have to get this work done? Lets see im making about 20 dollars an hour.. Hmmn, if stuffs taking me twice as long using inferior products just go run buy Visio and save tons of cash. Hmmn anyways Dia is just not that great just yet.
Hmmn I also believe it is bad for a couple of other reasons that relate to paranoia.
Given the big brother stuff lets think about that. Hmmn? Give every American Free Internet access. As the previous poster mentioned its govt regulated now, no true competition.
Whats worse is now so few people would want to use something they can get for free and lets face it most people dont care for a massive internet so its prolly still gonna use phonelines.
Total Internet Content Control in America. How does that sound? It is frighteningly easy to happen if everyone started using Free Internet. Oh well
No matter what the case may be it is damn near irrefutable since it is their music.
See? Its not just an excellent case its irrefutable people are bootlegging their music not live concert stuffa s he said he still encourages but stuff from their CD's first generation type material that people can copy onto CD's of their own.... easy now. I dont think its just an excellent case I think they win hands down
*snickers* WHAT AbOu.t p.unctioan and grmaatr. I can use grammar and punctuation fine I was relaying my point not expecting my sentence structured to be analyzed. Bleh, Go ahead tell me its an important skill that I should have.. Well I care but I was in a bit of a hurry:) so anyhow... go troll hemos comments now to
I see two camps here who passionately seem to see things one way or another save a few of the true developers out there.
Having developed applications in Php3(big application) and having worked with cold fusion over a year I can easily say if you think one is superior to the other you are a zealot because they are both just tools for a job.
Learn to do each well and they become potent tools either way witha skilled team. Stick a bunch of non programmers and yes they can actually do cold fusion buy OMG do you REALLY REALLY think these people can handle an application development process? NOOO I KNOW
What cold fusion lacks is "TRUE" and easy to use modularity. Good programmers can get around this and write well structured and pretty easy to maintain and develop applications. If you say you cant in Cold Fusion you ARE NOT a good developer. Yes its a pain but Ive dealt with absolustely HUGE business process insurnace applications and IT works and its quick to develop for you just have to apply basic computer science ideas and concepts to ALL of your programming language does not matter as long as some basic constructs exist (which they do in Cold Fusion) Yes it slike COBOL for web developers but its not terrible or anything and it does allow new people to get their hands dirty. *shrugs* Depends on the developer how good Cold Fusion.. as it depends on the developer FOR ANY langauge.
I am glad someone took the time to put the word out. I looked to MySQL for writing an Intranet Recently
I read the documentation..
No triggers
No Stored procedures
No row level locking.
The list goes on not to mention the data integrity and speed (speed is not much of an issue when you throw this thing under enough load)
My point is I needed almost all of these features because the company is going to track VERY expensive monetary transactions using this thing so for a Free and pretty damn competent RDBMS I chose PostgreSQL because it has a whole lot of cool things and from the ground up I feel it is designed to be a winner and given some more time I think it will reach a very ripe enterprise level and just all around kick arse.
I Really think MySQL is cool for the quick and dirty and its a nice little product...
But bottom line if your an application writier who uses SQL as a back end and you have half a clue you would not choose MySQL anyways.
Arg.. Thats it.. its annoyed me for the last time.
Okay.. I have never really intentionally trolled. Ive been off topic a few times and I usually post half-thought posts just to toss my opinon out
into the fray.. But ive just seen the last troll. okay. I love this site but I see all this totally STUPID shit that some 12 year old is posting.
I see a community that encourages this. some trolls are funny.. I like them occasionally poking a little fun at Cmdr Taco is funny okay? NOT all the time.
If you guys who troll the site even read.. you driven me off. I am to afraid to even load this site in my office because I may scroll by some lude ASCII art or the wonderful big "FUCK YOU!" things in ASCII art. That is SO not cool.
I refuse to browse at like one or two only because I mostly do not in the moderation system.
However I know people who do browse at 2 or more.. so I try and mod up good stuff whenever I meta moderate and all that.. but im just tired of even trying.
Yes ive posted a lot of noise but I DO post thoughtful and decent posts when im actually experienced in something posted that I know about.
Or maybe I have something insightful that no one else has picked up on and posted yet..
But I dont like sites I cant even view at work. So.. ill come back in 4 or 5 months and check it out again. I dont expect it to be much of a change.
Slashdot has kept to its core for a long time but it was unprepared for the 12 year old's whove come and stuffs gotta be fixed.. Hell I even support Hemos and Taco and the gang when a lot of time they get negative community support.. But this is stupid./. is to much of a target. So I woefully regret them ever selling it and making a big public mess out of this. You know if it comes down to it this site is an investment now. Its lost something I believe. It took me a long time to reach this conclusion.. And im glad for the people who profited over their labor of love. And yes if it were me I would sell to. No way should they lose an opportunity like this to make money of a labor of love and fun. Its way cool. So I salute you guys for being able to make a life out of/. Its very good.. But im ready for something different. No hard feelings here, im just a bit dis-illusioned with the mess.
How can Perl and Visual Basic even REALLY be compared as programming tools? I thought to myself. Oh wait im sure there is a CPAN Module for a GUI Drawing Interface.. or Perl+GTK or Perl/TK. Basically in Perl for a quick and easy GUI that you can distribute to 95% of the business world oh wait.. you cant do that can you?... VB Is the way to go there.
You guys are kind of deluded doing an outright comparison of VB and Perl, crawl out of the command line and remember where Perl/Linux/Open Source are.:)
Mandrake Linux and the people who run it have real balls. They dont fsck around like a lot of companies.
ResierFS? Pentium Optimizations.
Yes.. They do this. Good Bad? Who knows at least they have the kahunas to step up to the plate and give these products a chance on their distro. Do you see this? They are willing to push their distro to the limits
Okay... Everyone else is staying a bit more conservative right now. Not Mandrake. Give emm a little respect. Not to mention I hear Mandrake is pretty nice (office mate installed it recently) Okay.. I just wanted to say that:) Flame at will.

AHH it will convert CFML to bytecode and then run thru a java interpreter.. sorry.
Actually allaire is doing just that. Their future versions of coldfusion will be converted to bytecode for that kicking speed increase. :)
