IMO Bridge is a little more complicated than spades, as it involves having a partner with whom you must communicate. But I was never very good at that-I suppose someone better at non-verbal communication would have less of a problem.
Well, that's a good point, but I'd consider "references" to be more word of mouth. Like "oh hey that's a cool looking application are you happy with it, and if so, who did the programming on it? We might want to hire them for our own project."
If licenses went down to $20, instead of $200, costs of pre-built desktops and laptop might go down, since OEMs won't have to pay as much for them. Linux fills a niche. It won't die just because a competitor is cheaper. It might get lower market share though (if that's even possible).
Sounds to me like they're doing their job. A design spec should be complete, it should say "this is exactly what we want, if you send us this exact product we will be happy". Usability testing is not the responsibility of the programmer, its the responsibility of the designer. Now, sometimes those are the same people, but if you're outsourcing your implementation then that's not the case. My software architecture teacher put it thus: "The design document should be complete to a point that you can give it to a company that has never heard of your product and has no idea what it's about beforehand, and provide enough information for them to complete the implementation."
You might have a point there. I remember a friend in college who managed to pass basic programming, but, unlike many others in that class, realized that he shouldn't have passed, and probably shouldn't continue. He went on to get some sort of Business/Technology degree, that basically said "you can manage developers because you took tech classes". But I know for a fact he doesn't understand computing past the basics. So I imagine that's exactly the attitude, "you were in development, so you must be ideal for managing IT".
From TFA: "We have reviewed your claim and we will contact PlanetDomain and request an FOA (Form of Authorization) for the transfer. If their records also show the same registrant at the time of transfer, we will work with them to see if they can transfer the domain name back. However, they are not required to transfer the domain name back."
Not required? As in, he paid for it, it's legally registered to him, and then someone just stole it away and they don't have to give it back? Isn't that theft?
Well, yes, but if Visa knows that a company has poor security for handing credit cards they will probably revoke that companies license to their billing API. Credit card companies take security protocol very seriously.
An element generally (as far as I understand it anyway) can't break down into any element smaller than it. It can break down into certain elements smaller than it.
Take for example nuclear fission, a process that involves an unstable isotope breaking down into another element (possibly also an unstable isotope). Likely the only isotopes of these elements they have been able to make so far are extremely unstable. However "breaking down" isn't really a good term to use. Better would be "becoming a smaller element by losing pieces of itself" but that's long.

To be fair, the GOP hardly has a monopoly on the selling of lies.

That cute girl you see at the laundromat won't go out with you? Civil disobedience.
Absolutely. It's clearly a government conspiracy that she won't go out with you.
Who modded this troll? It's funny.
Americans imagine some weird, gulf-state with face covering and camels.
Heh. I have to admit, that is what I think of when I think of Iran. Guess I'd better do some research.
Well, a lot of countries send their college students to America. I suppose that can be seen as outsourcing higher education.

Virtual host maybe (for the Windows 3.1)? That's how I would do it.
The blog didn't read like the domain had expired, but you may be right.

post the info here
Yes. Tell us everything. I'm sure some helpful slashdot reader will "take care of" this company's security problems for you.
Well, yes, but if Visa knows that a company has poor security for handing credit cards they will probably revoke that companies license to their billing API. Credit card companies take security protocol very seriously.
A lot of things discussed on /. have very little relevance in the real world. Doesn't make it any less useful to get the correct definition of things.
So (jokes aside) does that mean that if you vibrate one the other is forced to stop vibrating? (I don't understand quantum physics very well)
And with the budget cuts too... Won't someone think of the children?
You mean it actually exists? I did not know that. Any results from children being exposed to it while in the womb?

Are iOS users counted in the Safari numbers?
It'll be interesting to see if the same thing happens in a few years with IE.
Do you mean Chrome?
I'm not actually sure how accurate it is, but this is where I went:

I suspect it's using some sort of an algorithm, rather then getting this data live, but I imagine it's probably accurate at least to the million

If you're gonna troll at least make sure easily looked up facts are correct.
