Just call the support number and tell them. They'll give you the call up key and you're good to go. There is a solution for these things, and it takes all of 10 minutes. Stop pirating software for no reason.
Right, but here's the thing: everyone realizes that a dickbag is a dickbag.
If you're decent to most everyone, and treat everyone with respect, but the one douche still treats you like a douche, everyone picks up on that, and will side with you.
What most "geeks" don't understand is that just because one dude in a group is a douche, and the rest don't act against him, that doesn't mean they're all douches. It just means they don't fight back.
You catch more flies with honey, is the old saying. Just be a decent person, that's nice to everyone. You'll find that most people will treat you the same way back. Don't belittle people for the hell of it, or because you think they don't like you.
Being a prick is generally frowned upon, and will make people treat you like a dickbag. The only reason people don't treat the larger, more physically capable kids like dickbags, even when they are pricks, is for fear of physical retribution. No one is scared of being belittled more by some scrawny dude.
If you're just nice and act normal (ie: are not a prick, and aren't really creepy or something) towards people, they generally treat you with respect, despite your social status. This is what "fitting in" means. It doesn't mean you have to act like you're in to sports to be a cool kid. It just means that if you treat other people with respect and don't do anything to really get on anyone's nerves, then others will do the same to you. It's really a simple concept.
What am I saying, this is slashdot, bash away before thinking about it...
But honestly, Nowhere does it say "Obama has hired Austrailian Telco Analysts", or "Obama is modelling the effort after the Austrailian effort". Looking for inspiration means asking around and picking up ideas. Just like a software engineer who goes to Google to look for inspiration. The bad ones just copy and paste, but the average and above just look at the other results and try to mold a better solution. I would say this is allegorical. We'll see what happens.
I take his position. I don't code in my free time either. Actually, I fucking hate programming. I happen to be pretty good at it, and that allows me to get paid a pretty good salary for it. But I don't like it. It's boring and monotonous, and if I could get paid the same amount for doing something that's easier for me to do, I'd do that. What I've found in my years as a Software Engineer (and this is true in many fields), that people tend to define themselves as their career. When asked "who are you?", many answer "Im X, and I'm a Software Engineer". I think it's short sighted. I am not what I do for a living. For me, it's just a job. I work so I can be who I am when I'm done working.
Put columns in the table in question called "lockedTime" and "lockedBy". Set them to null. When the user gets a record, set them. When they're done editing, set them to null again.
Write a Stored Proc to run at some interval and unlock files that have been locked for whatever you think is "too long" (could be done once a day).
A user can't edit a record that is locked by someone other than himself. You could get by with just a lockedTime, but lockedBy allows the user to get back to the record if they get disconnected for some reason.
I don't know how your system works, but in every one I've seen, individual users don't have their own DB accounts; there is 1 DB account for the system. It's nice to know who has what record locked.
Maybe I'm naive on how Phoenix DB works? I feel like anyone could have figured this out.
Also, 100 dollars for a full tank? I pay ~$25...
I pay $560 a month on my car (which is really high, honestly)
Insurance for me is around $600 every 6 months. I don't know what/where you're driving that could possibly be $450/mo.
One thing any lawyer will tell you is that they work for whoever pays them. The RIAA was paying these lawyers, so they came up with arguements to prove that people owed them money. They didn't sue students and grandmothers out of evil and malice, they sued them because that's what they were paid to do. Lets not lie, the RIAA lawyers are VERY good; they have won a lot of cases and have a lot of experience in and out of court. I don't know why we wouldn't want someone like that working for the Department of Justice, so long as we don't want an inept Department of Justice (which is a different arguement entirely. Maybe we do).
Point 1: You don't have to carry it with you all the time. You only need to carry it when you actually need the computer outside of your dorm/apartment.
Point 2: That's what the "technology rich rooms" are for. All your engineer friends also have laptops, except for 4 people, according to the school
.
Point 3: How often is your machine not working at some time critical moment? I think it's safe to require you to keep your equipment working. They do still require you to have working pens at the test, same thing goes with a laptop.
Point 4: You probably have a free license for Windows via your CS department. Do a dual boot install.
*I* am a person who has watched dogs eat meat, dolphins eat meat, primates eat meat, and just about every other animal with eyes in the front of their head eat meat, and find it a little weird that there are people who don't think humans should naturally be eating meat...Nature is animal cruelty. We're nicer to our prey than any other animal on the planet. I think we've done enough.
You're not going to get hired by any of the big boys, because they all want degrees and experience. A small time shop writing business software is something you might be able to get into. If you didn't know, business software is by far the easiest and most boring software you can write. But, it all needs to be written, and that's where you can get your start.
You could also just get an MCSE. That's easy enough if you have a bit of cash, and the letters next to your name can get you hired.
I'm 24, for the record. I've been in the field about 3 years.
I can't tell you how many times I have to correct mistakes made by our "senior" programmers. If I showed you the code some of these people wrote, you'd think you were reading TDWTF. I'm right now working within a framework that was written to follow OO standards, and write all the monotonous code for us. It has all the keywords for pattern based OO, but it makes it so difficult to actually follow OO that no projects written with it are actually object oriented in any real sense of the word.
Our Dal classes are written in such a way that we can't easily get data back from 2 tables in one call. That's right, they can't handle joins. We're not supposed to do "complicated SQL statements" (read: statements that might do group by, order by, natural joins, etc) because these senior programmers once opened 90,000 connections to the server at once, and thought it was Oracle that was slowing things down because of these "complicated SQL statements all the younger devs were doing". These "senior" programmers have reduced Oracle to a CSV file.
I don't want to hear how much experience brings to the table when I have to live with this crap everyday. I believe that experience is a double-edged sword. It either means you're very good at your job, or mediocre and good at hiding it.

No, it's not a social acceptability thing.

This sort of shit is why you get picked on.

And this is easy to counteract. Just make your page do an ajax call to get the body of the article. Put that call after the anti_adblock file has run.

You'd be surprised how much you don't care about automating yourself out of a paycheck.
You must be very popular at work, sweatstain...

Yes.
I'm looking at around 400 American coders in just my (relatively small) office right now...
Whatever, they're all the same. Useless classes and a piece of paper that can get you into an interview.

The Swiss Banks didn't respond to search warrants. That's what they're going to cooperate with in some cases from now on.
Our way makes it easier to order the dates, as ordering them lexographically also orders them by time. Plus, you get Pi day. Just switch, ffs.
There's HHGregg, which is quickly moving into Circuit City's position around the country.
My professor is on the board for AVG. He's said several times that OneCare is really a very good antivirus program. Is that good enough?
