have you ever dealt with a multimillion dollar balance sheet? Imagine millions of transactions a day that have to be balanced out by a calcuator. you must be joking right?
it forces people to pay for something that they are not doing. IE: someone buys a 2gig memory card for photos and now they have to pay a music artist tax. I say lets boycott the music industry and tell them all to f*** off!
There are no rules only if you were hired as an 'at will employee' and depending on state laws. In most cases you quit when you want to quit. The two week notice is usually more of a courtesy thing.
However... While you usually do not have to give any notice, you need to read the employee manual and other company documents. Even if you did not sign something there could still be things in the company policies that could hold up in court. Doubtful, but these days anything is possible in court. It may be that the employee manual says something about a 2 weeks notice and the employeer being able to withhold pay, etc. Usually that is dependant on if you leave on good terms. I think it is bunk too. I quit my last company and I now do contracting for them and charge them alot and do very little:D
That would be like filtering slashdot on only subscribed users and then using their opinions on the subject as fact.
That's the problem with wikipedia. Anyone can contribute to it. On some subject matters though the people that contribute to wikipedia end up being good references. On other subject matters the wiki can be crap. If you assume that wikipedia is all fact, then you probably do believe everything you read online, in which case by reading this you have contracted a deadly virus and your ears will fall off.
I don't usually like giving that stuff up until I know that I am going to get an offer. You want to check my previous employeers, call them from my resume, just don't call my current employer. That's usually been my rule. Then if they decide to make me a job offer, then I'll fill out all that paperwork. I think it is premature to give an application to someone unless they have a job offer to follow suit. I also don't like doing any of it online.
You mentoring them is hopefully helping them learn. Also I said YMMV.
The people I worked with were very senior. If you are willing to do IM and phone calls and conference calls then yes it can be done. Email as a communication tool can be limited and often misinterpreted. You can't always tell when someone is sarcastic in email, but on the phone or in person you can.
I'm not saying that it can't be done, I'm saying that is is not for everyone and I think that only a few people can do it. I'm also saying that the people that I worked with did a crapy job at it.
Either spend all their time working and don't learn new stuff to a usable degree, or spend to much time learning new stuff and don't get their work done. There are a few exceptions, and YMMV, but this has been my experience with telecommuters. Face time with the boss is not as important as idea sharing and face time with coworkers. The days of treating coders like plants that you can water and expect code to grow are dwindling. More and more it is about the time you spend discussing the ideas and there is only so much you can do via the web. Sometimes you just need to spend that 1-1 time.
My only wish is that IE had the same tool. I use this a lot for debugging / developing and testing my pages, but then when I try some things in IE, IE just gives script error or shoots me into its debugger without a way of really seeing what is going on in the page.
I also like it when I come to pages and see the little red error, so I can tell who spends time on their script.
This is an awesome tool and I always recommend it to ANYONE who is doing any JavaScript development.
Actually that's different and the real issue is more of, what about all the jobs that were in the us and are now being sent overseas. People seem to forget that we have sent a lot of our auto manufacturing overseas and also many of our IT jobs. We have sent more jobs over there too. The current job market in the US is becoming the service industry, with jobs like a starbucks barista!
Personally I think you should at least give the person you interviewd a no we are not going to hire you because.. and fill in the why not. We found someone who clicks better, or we think you would be bored here, or even you did not seem that interested in working here.
Sometimes the above is true. Many companies I interviewed with, I think I was more turned off by them, and I think it reflected in the interview.
Well since the NSA released SELinux a few years ago, or I believe it was them. I have to wonder if any of the same code will end up in M$, or will they be helping them with code?
If this did happen, how would anyone other than M$ and NSA know?
I found out that if you call appendChild to the body tag in IE7 it will not render the page and then the browser will become unusable.
So do something like: var x = document.createElement("div"); document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].appendChi ld(x);
Do this right after the body tag and viola, IE7 starts having problems.
It does not render the page ( unless they have fixed this ). Instead it tells you that you have a possible network error. Then, IE7 thinking that the network is down, wont access any more sites, except pages that are in your history. You then have to restart IE7. Funny thing is that even though this is a coding error and the appendChild should be done on the onload event, IE7 does not treat this as a script error, but it treats it as a network error. I spent hours trying to debug this, and firefox it worked fine.
ADA is still used by some goverment defense agencies also. It would be nice if there was a nice open source COBOL IDE. Funny thing is that all these new languages, fix issues that are not huge issues to most to begin with. I'm sure if someone made it easy to call web services from COBOL and made it possible to do OOP in COBOL it would be more accepted, but because it is a very primitive language people hate it.
Create a web page. After the body tag in the page, put a script tag. In the script tag do a var x = document.createElement("div");. Set some properties on this element, and then do a document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].appendChi ld(x);.
Yes this is not the right thing to do. Yes this is a script error. Yes, you should do a function and then do onload=fn();, however the browser does not error out with a script error, like you would think. Instead the browser redirects you to a page and says that it could not render the page and to check your network setting. WTF? It has absolutely nothing to do with network settings, but that is what IE tells you. Then there is no way to debug this issue.
I think IE7 was release as alpha ware. Certain web sites will not render in IE7. Not only will they not reneder, but after visiting the site, the browser is unusable and you can no longer surf the web. You have to shutdown IE7 and open a new browser up again. It does not let you know where in the page it is bad, it just stops the browser from working.
I have to wonder if Vista has similar side affects.
.. it is possible, but not in a public environment like the internet. you don't know what user x will be coming to your site with. In an office, one can control the OS, the software that is on the machine and versions and so on. Thus you could setup an entire office online. On the web it will be more difficult to do something like that, and some people want their data local and not remote. At an office those things can be enforced, and users don't necessarily have a choice in the matter.
How about one for "not safe for children". This could be used for all content that people would think children should not see. Then all these filters at the library and other places that filter content could block that content, instead of entire sites based on a word or words. This would prevent sites that have medical info from being blocked because of their use of certain words, but could be used to make porno companies more responsible about the content.
.. like a bad movie I saw on SciFi. It sounds almost like Peter Benchley's "Creature", which was about a mutated shark. Then again there is that movie set "Shark Attack" 1, 2 and 3.
I'd agree. Designing a good GUI is not something many developers do well. Most developers develop GUI's that they think are good, but often lack in many ways, usability often being the first.
If the original poster is having problems with designing reusale code, it is not because of the GUI, it is because he needs help with design. I'd suggest getting a design paterns book and maybe even a book on GUI design. Try the orielly.com web site, as they have some. For web design, try a book called 'defensive desing for the web.' This book goes over several things NOT to do when dealing with GUI design.
My last vacation, I did not check my email or the web. I had a cell phone, but used it only to check the time. I did watch TV, but tried to aviod the news. Does that count?
I will say it was probably one of the better vacations I have had in a long time. The last time I did a vacation like that was when I graduated from college, and went on a diving trip. All I did on that vacation was wakeup, dive, eat, drink beer, and sleep. In that order;-).
... amount of idiots out there.. well maybe not idiots, but people who do not understand writing code. Now there are several portable options, like Java, tcl/tk ( which some say is dead ), perl / python ( which the gui's can use tk [ so tk isn't all that dead ]), or qt, and even mono /.net.
Actually I don't think to many people realize that QT is probably more portable than javascript.
I found that you should have a section called 'technical skills' to list all your skills. You can call it skill proficiency, but only if you are proficient in ALL the skills. I switched the name when I got burned in an interview at yahoo, because I put mysql and was expected to be a f'n DBA in mysql, and expected to know all date time datatypes. I'm a developer who has worked with mysql, but have always had dba's that dealt with that crap!
I have also found that using 1 sentance bullet points, which in the xmlresume format they call 'achievements' I think, at least that is what I am using. each line says clearly how you used technology X. Also I think you should use 'active voice' I think it is called ( or is it passiv, I forget ), like 'I created blah blah using C/Java, blah, which resulted in more sales of the product.
.. that you are asking that in public. What you are asking to do is possibly against the computer abuse and fraud act. You are asking to disrupt someone elses connection by 'hacking/cracking' thier traffic.
I'd suggest you go to the front desk and tell them that you are having problems with the wireless. That you are staying in this hotel because they have internet access. I'd suggest that you tell them someone needs to look into the situation or move you to another hotel. Tell them that you suspect that someone is doing something against the law ( I know running bit torent is not against the law ) and taking up all the bandwidth. Who knows you can drop in the comment, I think that someone is running an unlawful site and allowing people to download pirated movies and that the MPAA and RIAA may come after the hotel and sue them. That would get their attention.

Complaining often works!
