Or better yet, teach cops how to engage with citizens without being so aggressive. When a cop comes at you and starts out hostile, you're likely to feel defensive and hostile in return.
I'm not sold on this being my new programming and terminal font just yet, but they've at least provided multiple weights to try. Whatever I use in OS X (Inconsolata normally) turns out looking fat and heavy. The lighter variants of Source Sans are a nice change from that.
In other words, all of the other first amendment rights only really make sense when applied to groups of people. But, according to your logic, if any of those groups dare to form a legal entity of a "corporation," we should deny the constituent people making up the corporation those rights to act as a group
A corporation is indeed a collection of individuals, but not all of those individuals should be forced to consent to the political wills of whoever speaks for that corporation. Furthermore, a corporation is not a group that has not come together to lobby the government. It is an arbitrary group that has come together to work. Should the corporation get to use the multiplier effect of me, and hundreds of thousands of other non-consenting workers, to amplify its corporate voice, a voice that individual workers may not agree with? Absolutely not. But that's where we are today in the U.S.
This is great advice when you're looking for general, solid, all-around engineers. Probably won't apply as much when you're looking for something very specific though.
I am a general purpose software engineer and systems architect. I find solutions to problems. I may touch 5 or more different programming languages in a week, I can't remember every detail of each. But I understand logic, systems design, app design, and programming. I can find what I need. And I look for others to hire exactly as you describe.
I have three personal accounts: one for normal use, one for craigslist postings, and one for my music business. I will also have one work account in the next month as we're moving all our email / contacts / calendaring to Google Apps.
I'd like to be able to stay logged into at least two at a time. I imagine plenty of other people would find use for this feature as well.
The Mac filesystem is case insensitive by default. Yours is set to case-sensitive, so the above example won't work.
I tried to run case-sensitive OS X last year, lasted about 2 weeks. Most stuff worked fine, but my expensive music software (Ableton Live) and a few others things broke. Just wasn't worth it for me.
I don't post nearly as much as I used to, and I don't get mod points as much as I used to either. But I'm always scanning the RSS feed and checking out stories, because I value the discussion here more than anywhere else. The quality of discourse here remains high, which is almost an anomaly in this age of Digg & Facebook, but it's that anomaly that keeps me coming back.
Thank you! Why can't people ever get this straight? Copyrights, trademarks, and patents are all different entities. It's not that hard to learn the difference.
The 2.0 software release has honestly been a complete disaster. I've got 3 friends who have bought, and subsequently returned, their 3G phones. They knew I loved my 1.1.4 phone, and their experience has been nothing like that.
I'm still rockin' my jailbroken / unlocked 2.0.1 original iPhone on T-Mobile, and it's simply slow, laggy, and crashy. It's so bad that I'm seriously considering rolling back to 1.1.4 until they fix this mess.
What's not to love about this? As governments want more and more information about us, we should demand more information about them. This is our tax dollars at work. We should know where our money goes and how it's being used. If governments were to provide all this information, we'd have an army of fact finders going through every detail of every budget, every purchase, every opportunity to defraud the public or waste time, money, or manpower. The people would become the watchdogs over government instead of journalists. This is probably a good thing, as it's pretty clear that the journalists haven't been doing their job properly for some time.
Cut the fucking thing off the net until the user fixes the problem.
One problem with doing this, from the ISP's standpoint, is that they are GUARANTEED to generate a phone call to tech support once the account is shut down. And it's going to be multiple calls, over several days / weeks, while the issue is worked out on the customer's end. Everything I've ever seen regarding profit margins for ISPs says that once you generate a single support incident for a customer, you've lost money on that account for the year. I don't doubt that's true. I still think they should cut the accounts off immediately, but I can understand why they might not want to do that in all cases.
Apple does a great job of making products people want to buy.
With the iPods, they seem to be unstoppable. No matter what other companies offer, people want the iPod + iTunes more. With laptops, they make a sexier product than almost anyone else. Even the die-hard Windows folks I know are buying Apple laptops, running OS X + Windows via BootCamp or via Parallels.
To top it off, they do all this with higher profit margins than any other company. It's no surprise that their market share, and their stock, are both on the rise.
This debate will likely rage for a long time to come. But I wish the people who argue on the "non-environmental" side would accept one simple fact:
Polluting less is simply better than polluting more.
For everyone who keeps saying it's OK to spew noxious gasses into the atmosphere, to pour unfiltered waste sewage and chemicals into our water, to spray dangerous pesticides on our produce... These things are not OK. We should always be moving in the direction of polluting LESS. Never the other way around. And for those who disagree -- how about I come and piss in your drinking water? Don't worry, I'll keep it to an FDA-approved minimum level.

Same problem for me. I'm at GMT-5 (East Cost). All my appointments from Outlook are shifted 3 hours. And I can't find a way to remove all the events at once. And I can't delete the primary calendar itself -- well, maybe I can, but it tells me this will require me to set up an entire new account...

My brother found all this stuff recently, I had packed it up all nice and stuck it in Mom's basement. Brought to my house a few months ago, plugged it all in. It still works! A few disks don't work but 90% do. Super nostalgic fun!
24 hours? Meh. I think everyone should wait and buy my upcoming book "Teach Yourself UNIX in 23 Hours". I mean, when you see both of them on the shelf, right next to each other, you're definitely going to buy the 23-hour book. Why waste that extra hour?!?! Right? *

I'm dying for Google to add calendaring and real file storage (not just uploading your files in emails) and a more complete address book with mail groups, etc.
I still love Gmail, use it every day. Love the POP access, love the SMTP access which keeps copies of your sent mails sent through any normal desktop email client. And I love the threading that keeps my replies with the responses. I'm sticking with Gmail and waiting out the missing features. They'll come. But the experience is already better for me than Yahoo! mail.

Not shocked at all. Which is sad.
This level of insanity cannot continue. It stifles innovation, and practically guarantees no small players will ever design a new mobile device or OS.
I'm not sold on this being my new programming and terminal font just yet, but they've at least provided multiple weights to try. Whatever I use in OS X (Inconsolata normally) turns out looking fat and heavy. The lighter variants of Source Sans are a nice change from that.

What do you get when you take all the companies that are scrounging for the last 15% of the mobile app market and put them together? A consortium.
Can you think of a single consortium of market trailing companies that every created anything worthwhile? Because I can't.

Oops, I meant to say that their PROFITS are on the rise, not their stock. It's actually been down a bit lately.
