With Eclipse, a Java IDE, you can position tabs in any logical assortment you see fit by just dragging the tab, e.g.: ----- |1| | |-|2| |3| | -----
is a perfectly valid tab configuration. Here, 1 & 3 take up the upper-left quarter and the lower-left quarter of the window respectively. 2 takes the entire right half. With larger monitors becomming the norm, this would be a great enhancement for those who would like to make better use of their horizontal space.
JSPs aren't in the same class as WebWork or JSF. JSPs are a presentation technology while WebWork and JSF are web frameworks. Web frameworks are for organizing your web application while presentation technologies are for dumping out HTML (or whatever) to the client.
Corporate culture has a huge influence at Google. One of the factors used to hire people is if they're "Googley". Basically, Google determines if a new candidate will fit in and uphold Google's values. It says a lot more about the person being hired rather than Google being influenced by former MS executives.
Another key difference, and this is just my personal belief, is how the company is structured. Google's stucture will make sure that their mission to "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" will never die. Google will never lose their identity and turn into "another Microsoft," and it's one of the many reasons I'm proud to work there.
Exactly. Only the Alpha students can have degrees. The Betas and lower should only consider jobs that correlate to their position in life. Too many alphas might actually try to change society to have more high-end jobs, and at that point the goverment would have less power. Nope, we certainly can't have that.
Heaven forbid that a company take its time testing a patch to make sure it's up to some level of standard. The poster even pointed out that historically, there've been problems with the patches in the past. Maybe patch day should move to quarterly updates for all but the most extreme patches in order to increate quality.
Will people stop trying to move Java towards a culture that won't keep Java up to the same standards Sun has? There's a reason why the top two server side platform these days are.NET and Java, and it's because a there's a quality standard and completeness not found elsewhere. The next time I look at another configured by altering it's code, hard tied to MySQL, non-tiered POS LAMP application, I'm going to cry.
The only place I ever see Java going is perhaps to be bought by another bigger company who has a similar path. My only hope is that it's IBM because their Java apps are of a higher quality than Sun's, and they've done such good work with the Eclipse platform.
I find it somewhat silly think that God is saying to himself, "look these men are performing a study to see if they can prove that prayers work. I shall not allow them to find any conclusion for my existence. I've foiled their plans yet again!" Let's take it a step further to illustrate the point.
Let's suppose a disease broke out and 10,000 people in a single area were suffering from it with 50% being prayed for. To statistically show that prayer works, let's suppose that we needed to show 2% more people lived who were being prayed for than those were were not being prayed for. 2% of 500 is 100 lives. So basically, since God knew of this attempt at studying prayer, according to your logic, then we wouldn't be able to show 2%, and let's say only 1.8% was shown. Well, that's a difference of 10 lives, which means that because of the study 10 lives were lost. To suggest that a higher being with such control over existence would do such a thing seems plain ludicrous.
From here you might counter, well God predetermined this event, including the outbreak. If you continue down this path, you eventually lead to the statement that our entire lives are fated. Given a fated life, there would be no point in praying, since at the point you chose not to pray, it was your fate to do so.
This just in from your boss. Management heard of this web thing, and they've decided that all apps are to be ported to be developed and converted to web applications. They're confident that your model and controllers are portable, and since C and C# are really the same thing, you should have no trouble converting, right?
Perhaps this seems like a crazy situation to you, and that it'd never happen, but at my last job, they hired on a head architect and he and another developer convinced management to move from Oracle Forms to J2EE. Pretty gutsy, and perhaps for the better in the long run for the organization, but the current set of 30 or so PL/SQL Oracle Forms developers had to learn Java or quit.
Be careful of the choices you make when developing your applications. Develop in a portable, forward thinking point of view, and security will follow.
The 3490 was a complete was of money and time. It takes something like 3 to 5 minutes to scan a negative @ that DPI, and the quality was horrible for my wedding photos. In the end going to Walmart took less time, produced 10x higher quality prints, and cost less than scanning and printing. And no, it wasn't the printer. The images looked horrible before they were printed.
The simplest way, I think, would be to introduce another moderation selection, "Offtopic - Submission Related" which would indicate to the rest of the Slashdot audience that this type of troff isn't appropriate in the discussion. The topic is indeed the story, not the submitter or anything else.
A bit less negative in nature would be to allow the user indicate whether or not the comment is about the story or the submission. From there, the comments would be separated into two respective bins that a user could select to read from. The types of comments I could see going into the submission comment bin are:
* Misspellings in summary * Factual problems in the summary * Dupe complaints * Out-of-date nature complaints * Plagarism complaints * Complaints about the submitter * etc.
Having all these types of comments segregated from the real meaty comments I feel would really clean up the quality of discussion in general.
This sounds like the window manager you are using (Windows itself) needs a feature where you can can partition programs to certain areas of your display easily. Snap to grid perhaps? I doubt anybody has thought of creating "zones" in large display areas because such high res hasn't been available till recently.
Is there a company out there that makes a device that can take spindle of CD's as input, run as script for each cd, and then put the finished cd's in an output spindle? It'd be great for this type of task or for when you have a ton of data that you'd love to burn off, but don't want to babysit the whole process.
Actually, by being married, you don't have the ability to declare an extra deduction that you would of if you were single. You are screwed because the govt. knows that you have a combined income. Where are these magical tax laws you are talking about?
This entire not "entitled to complain" thread is bunk because it all reeks of logical falacies related attacking the person rather than attacking the topic at hand: Linux not paying attention to the details for mass-consumer use.
However, if Otis Stern posed this point in a particular trollish way, and one believes the conversation a waste of time because of it, then simply ignore it. Do not even speak of it, and Otis will find himself alone and disregarded. Eventually, like potty training pets, he'll get the point, and he'll think before shiting in the living room again.
Will make some group of astrologists mad. Why not define planet loosely, and then define classes of planets based on that definition, eg:
Planet Class 0: Any round object (surface +- 3% of flat) orbiting the sun with a minimum diameter of 2000 kilometers. Planet Class 1: Must be orbiting its sun(s) and only its sun(s) in its planetary system. Planet Class 2: The classic 9 planets. Planet Class 3: Must have an atmosphere. etc.
Football is a very personal sport. There are consequences for your actions. If you hurt or get hurt by somebody on the playing field, you have to deal with it. At the same time, sportsmanship is encouraged. You tackle the person, but at the same time you don't try to maim the other player.
On the other hand, you have GTA which shows characters do everything we've already heard about blah blah blah, no consequences just restart, blah blah blah, and minors might get the impression that blah blah blah, etc.
I'm not trying to justify either side of the argument, but just saying that comparing football to GTA is fundamentally flawed. Oranges and apples.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is the defininitive of what the Japanese aren't afraid to do with entertainment: create something with the sole purpose of f**cking with your head.
First they take Christian themes, such as Angels and the Lance of Longinus, and twist them into something entirely different. Next they take 14 year olds, give them all psychological problems on a scale that you only can imagine, and pit them with the task of saving humanity's individuality. Finally, combine this with everybody else having complexes about being God, being worthless, and having one's existence recognized by others, and you have Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Forget the nudity, everything else is too intense for CN's demographic, and honestly, I don't feel comfortable showing the anime to others without a good sense of self. It makes you feel uncomfortable at times, and unless you can actually enjoy having your mind twisted likes a towel and twacked against the ass of Jesus Christ, don't watch this anime.
If I were a censor working at CN, I'd rather try to censor DVDA porn with clown midgets than Neon Genesis Evangelion. There is no point in trying without destroying the story. Really.
To further illustrate your point, I doubt I read your post letter-by-letter, but instead word-by-word by recognizing by the shape of the word. Most worthless words, such as "the", "an", "to", etc., were probably skipped entirely and common phrases such as "I am" were probably interpretted as a single unit. In the end, my brain by its own subconscious devices, didn't so much care about the grammar you used, but the patterns it came across, and how interesting the resulting interpretation of your post was.
I can't wait for the day where the Internet is advertising free, content quality is up, and I pay for the few select services I use on a regular basis.
Where I work, we've been trying to hire a configuration manager who's actually knowledgeable enough to manage the versioning and configuration of 10 some odd projects with inter-library dependencies along with testing, staging, and deployment experience. After asking 15 consulting agencies and bringing people from out of state for interviews for 3 months now, we still haven't found anybody who can manage the configuaration of the huge software systems we have. Where are the qualified people these days?
