I won't argue about it being a ripoff of Second Life or The Sims, but the point of those "simulators" is just to run the simulator. The point of this one is to launch into more interesting things. It might work out for them.
Christians *should* only be judging each other. That's how we're supposed to keep ourselves in line. There's that whole speck in the eye thing to counterbalance.
So, they've added "sort by price,sales rank, review" and "filter by category" which are defined by the feed itself using tags in the RSS SLE extension introduced by Microsoft in March of this year. But they ONLY work if someone has embedded SLE information into the RSS feed. It can't extrapolate this data.
Innovation, admittedly. At least the standard appears open.
I suppose they have too much invested to completely write off India, even though the Whitefield disaster seems to indicate they aren't very good at doing chip design.
Ah yes, and Windows Indexing service is so advanced that it drags the system down all the time...
I've never had this ever happen *during* the copy. Usually when I copy 20 gigs of data, mdimport takes up 15-20% of the cpu *after* all the files are written. Backup restore should be a infrequent activity, so how is this a major problem anyway? If you're doing this frequently, you probably are using a static image, in which case you should use ASR, which unmounts the target automatically, keeping spotlight from running.
Perhaps you meant during backup? If you're just dragging files, that's not much of a backup solution. If you have a script, you can manage spotlight indexing a drive using mdutil. Just toggle it on and off.
Spotlight allows vendors to develop plugins to spotlight so they can expose more information to spotlight's metadata search than just strings and whatever Apple thinks the file looks like. Although Microsoft apparently does this with COM objects called iFilters, developer support for these things seems pretty terrible. Apple offers much more free tools for working with and developing mdimporters and goes out of their way to make it easier. Consequently, there are better mdimporters than iFilters and Spotlight works a lot better for the end user of Mac OS X. I suppose this might constitute "extensive" system support for all filetypes a user might have on their system.
Additionally, Spotlight is faster than Indexing Services. Lots faster. Spotlight also uses new filesystem level enhancements to detect and index changes immediately. It can even tell other applications that a file now matches their search criteria on the fly. IIRC, Indexing Service doesn't do this. Maybe the new on in Vista does, but Tiger has been shipping for over a year and was disclosed as existing in 2004.
Spotlight is much more advanced than Indexing Services. New WDS in Vista is supposed to match Spotlight in feature parity. I would say Windows is the laggard here and Spotlight is not a copy of anything Microsoft.
They're changing. The Buckley Amendment (the law you refer to) stipulates no use of SSN for non tax purposes if you receive federal money (IIRC). Most universities are changing because of identity theft from food court receipts and the fact that they can probably be successfully sued under the law.
I suppose this law would cover the people who *don't* receive federal funds... like businesses.
Our two T1s cost $1,200. 10Mb of OC-3 will cost us about $3,200. Make sense now? That cable modem analogy is crap. 12Mb down if you're lucky and you'll never get 12Mb outbound.
Turning phones into a commodity would be a boon for customers. Could I not then pick out any phone I wanted instead of being limited to whatever my carrier has in fashion this week? Not that I think they should all standardize on WinCE, but some form of standardization (can we get SIM cards of sorts for CDMA phones already?) would be nice.
The SCSL is going away in Java 1.6 in favor of some much more liberal licenses. I'll be able to compile and use it on my production FreeBSD server at work and not worry about being "tainted" as a programmer.
Application doesn't support that anyway. It wasn't a requirement for the design. If the shipped separately, you'd split the entry, create a ship_id (Linking to another table, or just a tracking number), and add that to the primary key.
There is a primary key, I just didn't define it explicitly in the database, leading to my dismissal of Slony I. However, I still am uneasy about a replication solution that rides on top of the database.
I didn't put a primary key on some of my tables because it didn't help anything at the time. Much later, I go to mess with Slony and discover in the installation documentation that you need primary keys on everything. Not all tables have primary keys defined, so I promptly gave up.
If you don't use something, you lose it, and I haven't designed databases in a while, so I honestly forgot about it until I got flamed.:-)
I suppose you could define the primary key as the order_id and item_id. In which case, I'd have to defer to not wanting to use something that ran on top of the database.
Slony I requires a primary key on all tables in order to be able to do anything. I have tables that don't have primary keys and I don't want to ever have them. I've normalized my DB and it's the best way to keep track of multiple items for a single person. OIDs are a waste of time in this situation and a cop-out. I don't want to rely on some level of replication that runs on top of the database server, I want it to be part of the database server so everything that works with the DB is aware of replication needs.
Postgres really needs some replication or mirroring mechanism built-in in order to even begin to attract people away from Oracle. The Slony II project will certainly require this level of integration, and I hope it succeeds, even it it takes until PostgeSQL 10.0.
Two "important" bloggers go to Amazon, guys at Amazon act like jerks because they want to "test" them, everyone blogs about it instead of discussing their problems with each other.
The "whocares" tag is pretty accurate, but I did find it somewhat interesting... like soap opera interesting.:-/
Same here, except mine was the 1000 SX or something (it's at home, still works). 8Mhz, 384K RAM and the dual drives. Dad brought it home from the office to do stuff like AutoCAD 12. He would bring more and more interesting things for it back from the office, like a 10MB seagate MFM hard drive and controller card. He bought the memory upgrade, but spent an entire evening figuring out how to install it. He went through every jumper and dip switch combo since we didn't have the manual.
but if you have projects where you intermittently (say for a month) have to get more instantaneous feedback, shouldn't each team adjust its working hours? Say you get the afternoon off, but you work in the evening with a dinner break. To make this easier on everybody, swap it around so they have to do the same.
Don't know if you have that kind of power to change the working hours in the day, but for a short period of time, I think it would work pretty well.

You probably don't get it because most people don't use the computer like you do.
For your first complaint about Finder, you would probably be best to go with Path Finder. For the second, Apple-Shift-G works well.
It's pretty preposterous to choose your OS based on the default file navigation application. It's not like people don't make alternatives.

You know, the stuff you like to do. Software testing, that is. Or do you really like to code stuff, since you interviewed for the NT team?
As an outsider, what do you think of how Apple is doing things? You insight seems honest and interesting.

order_id, item_id, quantity
How about "I have tables that don't have DEFINED primary keys"
I suppose you could define the primary key as the order_id and item_id. In which case, I'd have to defer to not wanting to use something that ran on top of the database.

Good times with simple programs...
