I'm working on a new product with one of the more junior guys at our company. To be blunt: his work is sloppy. Because he obsesses over details, whilst his work is elegant and has few mistakes, he never completes any work. It never gets to the stage where It works and gets the job done, but there are numerous incomplete (some might say major) sections everywhere.
Diagrams that could fit in one page are spread over five or six pages, he's anal over naming convention and minor details like whether arrows point the right way (whether it affects functionality or not) and so forth. He spends lots of time refactoring code instead of making progress and never gets anything out of the door, costing us money. What is the best way to handle this? Whenever I make necessary improvements he goes over my changes with a fine toothcomb, instead of getting on with his own work he spent a lot of time refactoring some of mine. The annoying little tyke then submits bug reports and feature requests, but which my fellow senior peole read with condescending amusement. I don't want to create bad feelings, as I have to work with him. Is he obsessing over small stuff, and should he see the Bigger Picture"
The traditional art of Dumpster diving plus a Windows or a Linux install would have saved these machines from their fate. If they were scheduled for replacement, then I'm sure some charity or educational establishment could have benefited.
The lead researcher on the project was a Dr H. Lecter, who is also researching methods of Fava Bean propagation, and assisting Italian wine growers in enhancing the quality of Chianti.
When asked for a comment, Dr Lecter said: I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye
Yes but unless it specifically did delegate those rights to the states, then surely state laws have no standing as they infringe on Congressional powers.
AFAICT, Eric Schmidt does not propose banning the personal use of drones, but is in favour of regulation.
If you'd prefer no regulation, then consider how much invasion of privacy someone who wanted to redo Googles Streetview and mapping could do with drones instead of land vehicles? Also reflect on the fact that large companies have the resources to have large fleets of drones. There are huge privacy implications and a start on addressing them is needed now.
The various methods of detecting planets are improving but....
How long is it, if ever, before we are going to have a telescope that can definitively tell us that a planet has an atmosphere containing oxygen and large amounts of water?
In 3 to 4 years, these 14 year olds in their basements will be VOTING 17 (primaries)/18 year olds. Dissing your future electorate is not a good way to keep your seat.
Anyway, this soon to be 50 year old has a great deal of concern over the way US computer related statutes are being drafted, even though I'm not even a US citizen, but a UK citizen
most of these older phones do not have the memory to run the latest Android version. I can't upgrade my old HTC Desire any more, not because I'm prevented by the supplier, but because the new versions of Android won't comfortably fit.
The Tory party sold off publicly owned infrastructure for a fraction of what it is really worth. Is anyone surprised?
Um its an auction, companies bid what they think it will take to get the goods and beat competitors. You can't blame the government if the price fetched at a competitive auction is lower than expected. A kneejerk "blame the Tories for everything" reaction is what keeps them in power, because people see how shallow the argument against them is. If you really want someone else in, you have to say how you could have done better.
Also the high auction price of 3G last time slowed its deployment and arguably the development of 3G services in the UK. Hopefully the fact that companies have not bid as much this time allows them to invest more. If the companies make more money, then they will presumably pay more tax in the form of Corporation tax in the long run, and perhaps have more employees also paying income tax.
The question is whether getting a warrant takes some time, and that this may impede actions to prevent criminal activity.
However, as someone else has said, the 4th Amendment states:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized
Given that the 4th Amendment specifies papers, it presumably should be interpreted in the modern age to include any form of written communication.
This is similar to the Miranda case, where there is really little doubt that the perpetrator was involved in criminal activity, but the constitution should provide him with the same rights as anyone else.

Also lying to Parliament is actually an offence for which you can theoretically be sent to prison.

My planned Journey to the Centre of the Earth has to be put on hold, dammit!
You might say that, I couldn't possibly comment!

But the wording concerns me and implies that they are looking to extend copyright instead of cut it back

Space:1999 a few decades late?
Hands up all those who read "Good News everyone!" in Professor Farnsworth's voice?!
God created a system which would over time maximise intelligence and thus produce man.

A desire Z has 3 times the flash memory (1.5G) of the original desire (512)

I don't have a basement to put my soon-to-be 14 year olds in.

..to think in Russian....at least if unlocking Firefox.
Anobit has no fab plant, so it doesn't solve the problem of not being able to get the actual components.

That wooshing sound you heard was the joke flying over your head.
