I have pretty much given up at the idea of any somewhat ok CMS. They all are terrible, insecure, or take 6 months to figure out how they work for experienced programmers with clients who want things done yesterday. Drupal was such a nightmare that I never bothered to learn.
It seems easier to write your own code than to use such a system.
Wordpress is a joke. Easy to use but inpractical and a great example why you need an I.T. department to monitor and keep things upgraded.
Nope. It says in the contract with Tata India they can't fire. But hey, they saved money in the sound of mere thousands and helped raise the share price by outsourcing their IT
It's slashdot. Of course people here over 40 fear change. You saw it at all the +5 informative comments when XP going EOL with best OS ever going to install 16 year old OS on new hardware etc.
Now they swear by 8 year old win 7 and are shocked it's become difficult to use on new hardware.
Yet can't even cut and paste. No wonder the world has switched to Android. I see they are still trying to catch up with Samsung with wireless charging and edge to edge screens
For those in Linux land you maybe surprised but visual studio is now free with the community edition. It also includes Python and R with win64 optimized versions of idle and Cython.
Many people on Windows are wondering what it is since it's a huge section in the installer. This is probably what is causing the boost
I have been reading about Python for 20 years back when interviews said what the hell is Python and why haven't you used Perl. Ruby still is insanely popular and employers are struggling to find qualified applicants. Python like Ruby is not going away
Redhat Eula bans centos. You must only use Redhat for all servers.Not pay for one license and use their support for CentOS. Still if there is a problem with one of your Dell servers they will tell you to install Redhat and hang up. Enterprise support is a big thing for CIOs for this reason.
From what I read (thought they went under) is it's significantly cheaper than Redhat.
You're looking at features. Corporations don't care about pulse audio and packages. They want support and server hardware support. If SuSE has the same level as Redhat then it can be cheaper and it's someone they can sue if it fails and call if there is a problem.
The question is if anything is certified for SuSE anymore or is it Solaris, Windows Server, or Redhat? Not meant as a troll but I have not heard anything about it since Bush was in office
Safari is TERRIBLE. I worked for a popular company around slashdot and for some reason Safari could do HTML 5 drag and drop around 50% of the time. Each time we had to code around it so people could drop files back and forth between the cloud Apple would always rebreak it.
The only 1 star customer service rating I got was of course from a Safari user who assumed I was an idiot as no way Apple could ever make such a horrible product that wouldn't offer this etc.
Or were shitty web developers writing for IE 6 only and maybe had a if/else to feed broken Netscape code if you were lucky when you ran it last?
We all remember the good days of 2003 on slashdot but forget the time we had to register for a job at a state website and had to boot up XP with IE 6 as the site wouldn't render in any other browser and used VBScript.
Firefox cleared this up slowly as we advocated it late last decade to the point where Chrome could then come out as ancient code got updated slowly for w3C in addition for one site version for IE 6 and another coded just for IE 7. Ah the good old days.
Wow oh wow how Firefox the favorite of old slashdot and geeks had mighty fallen.
Oddly Firefox 10 years ago is what Chrome was today. A new leaner faster browser without the bloat and was an experimental patch of Mozilla. Today Firefox is like IE. Old, insecure, and breaks between releases.
Firefox can not have sandboxing with %appdata to lowrights catching it up with IE 8 and Chrome 1.0 (2009 era security) so congrats. My last sentence was not meant to be flamebait but I have seen too many infections with Firefox as an ad can watch passwords being entered in from anotehr tab. Chrome and IE 8+ have procceses and kernel level sandboxing in Windows to avoid this and can run on more than 1 core to boot!
The other last sentence again was not flamebait but highlights why I and others have left. It got slow and couldn't take advantage of modern hardware until just a few months ago.
I think it would have been best if Mozilla made a new -webkit or electron based browser as this is what all the kids are doing today from scratch or at least redesign their own engine and make a do over? This is why Google used Webkit as the emails noticed Chrome OS/Browser was based on Gecko before they trashed it as too inflexible They kind of did which is why 95% of all the extensions closed but in 2017 we use apps to do these things and not run everything in a browser.
It astounds me as I can not image myself writing such drivel in 2007! But like RealNetworks, Netscape, WinAMP, Wordperfect, and the graveyard before it that times do change.
Actually Tepples I take back my other post as I just thought of something. Since Chrome allows memory access why can't a hacker just insert the enabled = true directly into the ram to install other software?
Yes it is a secure flaw which IS WHY NO BROWSER SHOULD access javascript sessions in other tabs (hence why I stopped using Firefox as it just this year caught up to 2009) or use memory. Sure you can try to patch a particular flaw but the very feature eliminates the sandbox in lowrights mode in %appdata.
It is only a matter of time before a hacker discovers a flaw in this as it is just one step away now instead of 2 or 3 from accessing ram addresses.
Last I checked javascript can take over the cursor. If the hacker knows where the dialog box is it can insert alt tab and click ok or move the mouse cursor over to allow itself.
If the article replaced Chrome with IE I doubt you would be saying this.
Hell everyone here would be freaking out and talking about how their jobs would be on the line with new ransomware or subverting standards in JavaScript.
But it's ok to relax because Google is cool. I saw a similar attitude with Apple here turn of the century. Apple was Soo open to standards and would never be abusive +5 rating etc. We saw what happened.

And if you are one of those who also has aero disabled and has the classic look here is what the kids think of it today :-)

THe new LG that just came out removed them all

Such as?
Well with the battery glued in on all the models YOU WILL UPGRADE whether you like it or not.
I guess Apple is good at innovating with this wonderful idea. Thanks Apple. Grrrr
That's because coding bootcamps require github pages for their graduates with the old school mistaken assumption no one gets hired without one

Try to do anything not overly engineered in Java enterprise edition?
Yeah man. Python is real gangsta
It's one badass language for hipsters

Whatever happened to then?
Because Edge == IE 6 and it is not like Google ever refused to fix a bug while MS did first.
Why am I ever bother writing a reply here?

Were they really better than Konqueror?
