  1. Sounds right. I recently applied for a programming job at a bank. After the interview and showing me the place, they offered me the job. I politely declined. Then I quickly closed my accounts and moved to a more modern bank. Why? That bank literally uses MSAccess tables to store ALL of the customer data. And VB5 "processes" to interact with the feds. Un-believable. They are still doing it to this day. Ironically enough, they now have a web presence that doesn't work 99% of the time.

  2. The best way to cull terrorist groups is to cull the terrorist ... ironically enough, it is also the best way to cull trolls.

  3. No Plans on Ask Slashdot: How Will You Be Programming In a Decade? (cheney.net) · · Score: 0

    I am 37 and will be retiring in 15 years. So .. 1.5 decades. I've been programming since 1990, so ... 25 years. I have absolutely no plans on programming with-in the next month as I am switching to Systems or DB administration. I'm literally bored and sick of programming. The pay just isn't up there any more, and I plan to have a somewhat decent retirement.

    Speaking as an equalist... This is a sad sad day when one of the VERY few people who is for Equal Rights for all (not just some), have to step down due to the MASSIVE corruption in the government. Go Figure.

    for instance, the one asking why Steve have chosen not to digitize the Munchkin brand. There have been literally tons of capable businesses and individuals who can do it and having gone several rounds of prototyping to prove it was easily achievable?

  13. Digital Munchkins? on Interviews: Ask Steve Jackson About Designing Games · · Score: 0

    While several individuals and companies (myself included) pitched ideas and prototypes for digital munchkins over the years, only to be met with silence. Are you sure you are looking to digitize the game?

    Not according to it's website. All it has is a code editor/debugger. No IDE. That copy and paste + fantasy is pretty impressive, however.

  17. No problem on Ask Slashdot: Career Advice For an Aging Perl Developer? · · Score: -1

    Perl is looked at like Natural and Cobol. Companies who hire people who know that are REALLY REALLY OLD (or new and really really DUMB). It's only good for maintaining until the system is rewritten in a proper language. You got to learn some modern (say, last 20 years) language. Besides, since you have 2 months of income left, and you should have at least a year of income in savings... you have time.

    With 2 ides available to choose from (netbeans and visual studio). There's not much of a choice ... For the unknowledgable, at a minimum, an IDE provides a code editor, debugger, and GUI designer. There are only two IDEs to choose from at the time of this post.
