That's an easy one. We ended up optimizing the customer's website... reducing all the images to the bare minimum... just to keep the app running long enough for us to get paid. Our app took RSS article feed content, wrappered in a Metro style UI, and displayed it.
Every other Windows Phone developer I have talked to has had the same, exact experience.
Try to develop something on Windows Phone and you might not be so quick to flame the poster's attempt at humor.
The Windows Phone browser is a JOKE. Runs out of memory on most websites in short order. As a lot of mobile apps are mobile wrappers around existing HTML content this is a real deal killer. If they would fix the browser it would be a really slick platform, tiles really work for me on a phone, and the presentation is slick, slick, slick. And yes, I have everything here, iPhones, iPads, Andriod, Galaxy phones & Tablets, Windows, Ubuntu, and Macs. We're a dev house.
In 1979 got a degree in Economics with a minor in Psychology and Philosophy. Took "Introduction to Data Processing" - required for all business majors - got a C.
First job out of college? A programmer. Have spent all those years since then in I.T.. Now I hire people... and I have found that people with a CS degree believe it's all that and then some, but some of the best developers working for me have degrees in all kinds of crazy things.
It's very simple, If you have "the spark" - also known a "the desire" or "the drive" or "coding is not work" mindset... you'll get a job as a programmer, one way or the other, and you'll be damn good at it. The biggest thing missing from graduates in my experience is that they have some really crazy ideas about how the real world works. But this may just be that I am getting old. I'll tell you this... the best developers don't hit the door at 04:59:59 - they are oblivious to "The clock", don't feel like "The Company Owes Me" and you can see the passion in what they do, both by reading the code or talking to them.
If it's all about the money... please don't become a developer...
Actually, David, I see people who are married to a position, and perceive any comment that's not "You're so right" to be an attack... to be fanatics. Science is about rational, organized, open thinking where no doors are closed and all possibilities are possible until absolutely proved otherwise. Science is all about the joy of discovery, not the suppression of opposing viewpoints that you disagree with. Science admits when it is wrong, and learns from the mistake, in order to learn more. You've demonstrated none of those traits. What I am getting from you is "My way or the highway".
You can't seriously expect me to believe that you don't know who Accu Weather is - they are a weather forecasting center, not some political organization. It's hard to argue with a graph that shows the IPCC predictions.vs. what actually happened... so you attack them. claiming they aren't interested in rational discussion. How mature. Then you fabricate a strawman for the SlashDot reader that the story only talks about the U.S., in a pathetic effort to suppress the facts presented there from coming out. A scientist takes ALL DATA into consideration objectively. Science doesn't throw out data points that don't fit the observer's opinion.
My opinion is unchanged. Making dire predictions has done more damage to the science of climatology than all the greenhouse gases emitted. Fudging the temperature data, in order to get more grant money, is a crime against humanity - and if you don't think this has ever happened, well, you're the freaking idiot.
The theory that the CIA/Soros/Wall Street is behind overthrowing Yanukovych could just as easily by an FSB fantasy. I have seen no credible proof, just a bunch of sensationalist conspiracy theory websites. So they did it to him both times? Not likely. He was corrupt in a way most Westerners can hardly imagine. The Obama regime hasn't keep a secret, ever, they have more leaks than a cheese grater.
It's as ludicrous as the propaganda war being waged by Russia, where ethnic Russians are supposedly being mistreated by Ukrainians and need to be protected. As one who has been "on the ground" in Ukraine more than once this is complete and utter nonsense, a fabrication, a fantasy, an emotionally charged race baiting argument not the least bit different than the crazy bullshit the leftists in America play. Which very few people actually BELIEVE.
The idea that Gazprom's pipelines are going to be shut off by crazy Ukrainians if Russia doesn't take over is equally foolish...
So you're either terribly naive, or another FSB troll on an American website spreading nonsense.
One of the most intelligent and spot on comments I have read today. I'll check back later for the inevitable FSB and Bratva attacks. They are usually the first comment on any story about Ukraine. Something tells me you're not in the USA, and not your mode/. progressive ideologue.
Here comes the exact behavior I am talking about. You state that YOU are "following the actual science" there by insinuating that I must be some ignorant hayseed. This is another reason climate science is going backwards, we have fewer young people entering the math and science field, and your cause is not getting the support you want it to get.
Your refusal to accept the point I am making, and the creation of the straw man where I am an ignorant climate denier probably means you're a troll for the climate change industry or one of those crazy ideologues that gets all of his or her information from carefully culled sources, declaring all other sources to be liars. So there's an insult right back at ya, pal. See how this ensures we have an intelligent discussion? Let's all work together to insure that no intelligent conversation ever takes place, that will ensure that problems never get solved. Our righteous indignation will carry us forward?
Al Gore in 2007 when accepting the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on Climate Change:
The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff. It could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.
I suggest you look this up it has been reported a million times or more. There are so many other examples, and Google works really well, no reason to belabor this point.
You say this year has been the hottest on record. I don't doubt that your intentions are good. Please google "hot records.vs. cold records". Here is the first link you find.
You can see the dire predictions of the "experts" at the IPCC mapped against what really happened.
Which is, Sir, my point. Making dire predictions - so called Climate Alarmism - has done major damage to climate science. So has the tactic of attacking anyone who dares question the myth of the dire prediction. Both of these actions harm your cause.
I couldn't find the graphs from NOAA showing how they stopped showing cold records - but there are many, many examples of climate data being faked ever since climate alarmism started. I understand greed - I'm a business man - but greed mixed with the scientific method is a crime against humanity. All these myths have been created about science, the scientific method, how science is actually done... These myths take society backwards, not forward. That's my point.
That's not the point I am making, Sir. But you fanatics, you don't care, there's only one point to be made, and anyone that disagrees with you has to be challenged.
And that... is the problem. According to "experts" the Arctic Ice cap should be completely gone, and all life in the oceans should be dead. I am sure that these people were well intentioned souls and that their hearts were in the right place. But they did huge damage to climatology. So did all the people who decided that the grant money was so good, it was worth fabricating data. These are the real crimes, that are rarely discussed. No, it's easier to blame "deniers" and call them names like ignorant, stupid, etc.
2014 warmest on record? I don't know. I do know that NOAA quit reporting cold records, and only reports hot records on their maps. This is also a crime against science that should be shouted from the rooftops of every University. What message does this send to young scientists and engineers? That it's OK to lie if you get grant money?
I agree with you but placing fault with the neo-cons is really old. More soldiers died in Afghanistan under Obama than Bush by a 3:1 margin. Obama, our first progressive president, launched an illegal war in Libya that has really fucked it up - has greatly expanded our war footing, is putting us back in Iraq, did more drone raids against women and children than Bush ever did, etc. etc. etc.
And the funny thing is that in countries like Saudi Arabia the #1 pastime is conspicuous consumption and shopping followed closely by sports. By outlawing drinking, dancing, music... you end up with rampant consumerism, which is exactly what they claim is wrong with the West.
More proof that what sounds good and looks good on paper rarely works in the real world with actual people.
Philosophically, yes, but the Leninites and Trotskyites (and later the American Progressives) turned "The State" into a replacement for Religion... and the quotes used to justify this are, as usual, completely out of context. From both sides.
You're spot on, of course, but as you are differed with "The Progressive Narrative" which seems to be groupthink on/. I hope you have your flame retardant pants on.
Because a philosophy of "If it feels good, do it" has worked out so much better for the advancement of the human race than any philosophy based on attempting to define "right" and "wrong" (e.g. duality), correct?
Putting the government in charge of your life is even worse, because government always turns out be a bunch of greedy "I want it all" folks. Corporations, exactly the same.
So who do you propose we entrust with helping young people figure out that some actions are wrong (i.e. harm others) and some actions are right (i.e. benefit others)? Unicorns? Such entities must exist, or we have anarchy. The problem isn't Christianity, or Islam - it's greed, same problem we have in government and corporations. Can't be eliminated, it's human nature. So try and blame the real culprit... instead of posting bigoted hate speech anonymously.
All forms of righteous indignation - generally created by applying a liberal dose of populist nonsense, emotional propaganda, carefully culled cherry picked "facts", artfully staging the truth... fall apart when logic is applied. And what's even more amazing, when you do this to such folks, they respond, generally, by calling you names like racist, homophobe, xenophobe, ignorant hayseed, devil worshiper, infidel radical, bad for America, bad for whatever...
The world faces record-breaking temperatures as the sun’s activity increases, leading the planet to heat up significantly faster than scientists had predicted for the next five years, according to a study.
The hottest year on record was 1998, and the relatively cool years since have led to some global warming sceptics claiming that temperatures have levelled off or started to decline. But new research firmly rejects that argument.
The research, to be published in Geophysical Research Letters, was carried out by Judith Lean, of the US Naval Research Laboratory, and David Rind, of Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
What happened: Five more years of no warming followed
You global warming climate change OMG the sky is falling people really need to learn the basic tenants of public relations if you hope to win your battle. Twenty years or more of dire predictions have done more damage to climate science than all the greenhouse gasses released.
Actually reading the links in the original article and spending five minutes with Google the link to the evil Koch brothers is that the guy who runs American Commitment used to work for another PAC that Koch gave money to. That's the connection.
There's an article on open secrets about the alleged "missing millions" from this PAC that is long on conjecture, short on facts, and admits that the organization isn't required to report it's funding sources. The entire conspiracy comes down to quote by Marcus Evans, an attorney for Caplin & Drysdale, a notable left wing Washington law firm who's founder worked for the Kennedy administration. In this article, the "conspiracy" is labeled as "possible, partial, hypothetical".
My favorite television show is Nova, on ultra-liberal PBS, funded by the evil Koch Brothers. Oh the horror these evil Koch brother do. But of course all the money spent by the left, it's pure as the driven snow, right? It's only right wing money that's evil. Gimme a break.
Jason Koebler, on the other hand - the author of this article - he comes from U.S. News and World Report, and the Washington Post - Two rather left leaning news organizations. So this whole article turns out to be clickbait agit-prop of the highest order. But that doesn't stop the ideologues from going bonkers, does it?
When we convict people of malfeasance in the court of public opinion on such flimsy evidence bad things happen.
It's very simple. These folks absolutely SUCK at Public Relations. Funny thing, so does the current occupant of the White House. Maybe there is some kind of genetic pattern at play here. For all of their railing at "evil corporations" and "slick advertising" you'd think by now they would understand that the whole "green" thing has to be SOLD just like any other product.
The people at the IPCC seem to have a learning disability. They don't seem to understand that publishing DIRE predictions year after year only works if such predictions actually come to pass... Especially once one has been caught lying with statistics already...
What these idiots (and others) are doing is more harmful to climate science, more harmful to the environment, and more harmful to the planet than all the so called evil opposition. Because every time some fool stands up and tries to "Sell" climatology using a dire prediction - and that prediction fails to come to pass - the credibility of climatology in general is called into question.
He has a point. I'm neither conservative or liberal, I agree with some of the platforms of both groups.
I have found that my liberal friends tend to be "All In or Nothing'. Either you accept the entire platform or you're the evil enemy, an ignorant hayseed bumpkin Christian Evangelical gun toting redneck. This drives me crazy. Many planks of the liberal platform are myths that simply don't work, have never worked, will never work. My liberal friends tend to cluster around short, emotional sound bytes/talking points - to which I reply "Sounds great but does it actually work?"
My conservative friends are slightly more tolerant, but only a little, and they react in horror at the thought that liberals do have some good ideas. My conservative friends are full of "facts and figures" - to which I reply "Sounds great but anyone can lie with statistics"
The Internet has, of course, widened this divide more than anyone ever imagined it would. That's the part I don't get... When did Common Sense die?
We have the highest corporate tax rates in the world. The lefties perpetuate the myth that the "evil rich" and "evil corporations" aren't paying "their fair share" whilst they increase taxes over and over again. And then, when these companies and individuals react in predictable ways they cry foul, shame on them.
Sadly the truth is that they use these taxes to BUY VOTES not do good for the rest of us. But the kool-aid of "punish the successful" is a strong elixir.
It's gotten so bad under this administration that companies are pulling up stakes and leaving altogether - witness Burger King. It's common sense, take my money, I'll get mad. What we should be doing is rewarding and celebrating success, so more people want to be successful instead of making it a crime.
Amazing, isn't it? Companies (and politicians) used to spend thousands and thousands of dollars with Public Relations firms to craft an image, and messaging, and now you enroll a bunch of folks in some third world country to cut and paste crap into comment boards.... at a fraction of the cost.
