Please don't forget that utorrent requires Windows to run.
uTorrent is NOT self-contained. It requires the Windows API to run. This part of its footprint is not shown when you look at its memory usage, but that first 256MB of RAM that windows uses is the reason uTorrent looks so small.
Yared has long called for Sun to open Java, which, he said, is "great on the back end, but LAMP is great on the Web tier, as Google, Amazon, Yahoo, Flickr, MySpace and Friendster have shown.
I found this page which states that DBD::mysql uses the MySQL client libraries (It says this for Net::MySQL).
If you perldoc DBD::mysql, it says it's licensed under the same license as perl (the artistic license).
Unless DBD::mysql is saying that their code is licensed under the artistic license, but as soon as it's built against the MySQL client library it becomes GPL (and just leaving out the last part), I don't see how the MySQL client libraries could possibly be GPL only... Any takers?
How does perl's DBI work? I am under the impression that it uses the MySQL client libraries and I am also under the impression that using DBD::mysql doesn't mean that my application has to be GPL.
Everyone raves about the poignant guide, but I found that after reading it for 20 minutes, I hadn't done much except read stories and comic strips. I really didn't have much of an appreciation for the language.
There's something to be said for making a potentially dry subject interesting, but it seems to go too far with it and actually spread the actual information too thin.
This is an irrational statement. Anyone who is in the position to be fired can be laid off. "Founder" doesn't mean jack once you start giving out bits of your company to other people. This puts you in a position where you aren't responsible for making the decisions.
If the people in those positions decide that you are a drain to the company (too high a salary, not enough work), then you are laid off.
There's no morale question here. The company decided that he wasn't able to provide value, but he hadn't done anything wrong. That's called being laid off. It has nothing to do with the other employees.
If you want to stay Mr. Big-and-Powerful, don't sell off shares of your company and you won't have to worry about being laid off.
Yes. If I still got mod points I'd mod up the other people on this thread, but since I don't (??), I'll just second all their opinions. God of War is a fantastic game. I rented it and beat it.. now I'm waiting for it to come down from $50 so I can justify buying it.
To be fair to the parent poster, the summary, as originally posted, didn't have the link to the previous story. The story was edited and not marked as having been edited about 2 minutes after it went up (for non-subscribers).
I'll second the difficulty jump issue. I had the same problem.
However, my biggest issue with Guitar Hero was the lack of (good) music. After you've played the standard songs, all you can do is unlock a bunch of mediocre Boston underground music. It's like a bunch of people in Boston thought their music was really cool and made a game about it. However, when they tried to get funding, the money people said, "Uhh, you have to use music people know." So they threw in some mainstream songs but as few as they had to.
Guitar didn't teach me how to play guitar, but it did teach me that I don't like the Boston music scene.
the weekends are needed to take care of chores, and preserve my mental health
I call whiny bitch. If you really wanted it, you would skip on the "mental health" part of the weekends and spend the time getting a new job. Then, later, when you had a new job, you'd get the benefit of not being so stressed out all the time.
"How do I get something I want but not have to do any work for it?"
Welcome to real life, bud. No pain, no gain. And in this case, a little pain now seems like it could pay off big-time later. To bad for you you're not willing to do anything to obtain your goal.
You can't copyright a name. The code behind dashboard is copyrighted automatically when it's written (as is everything else).
Whether they can/did trademark the name Dashboard, I don't know. Perhaps it's too common a word to define a "layout of information" to be trademarked. Cars have dashboards that display data generated by a computer in a visual format, so perhaps that is enough to make the term generic.
The people who lost out on this -- the shareholders who's stock lost extra value because he devalued their stock unfairly -- get nothing other than a mildly warm and fuzzy feeling that a company that they own some very small part of gave a sizable charitable donation somewhere.
The lawyers, on the other hand, get $24 million in cash money.

How did you make the backwards 'd' at the end of your post?!?
DUH! Wireless power, silly.
Didn't you watch G.I. Joe the movie?
How lame is this? They're prototype is a zaurus in a plastic see-through pocket from the outside.
Wow, that is remarkably accurate *AND* has a nice acronym.

I'm very impressed.

Amazon is not LAMP.
Well, they are $32 billion-with-a-b cheaper now..

Yeah, dude. That's soooo gay.
Now let's go play a game of smear the queer.
Yep, it works

Just my opinion, of course.

No, it's called a FOLLOW-UP. This article contains more information than the previous one.
I mean, the editors screw up enough, why call them out even more than we have to?

I've talked with plenty of candidates during their (government required) lunch breaks. If he REALLY wants a job, he can find time.
As an aside, I'm not HR, but I do work plenty of Sundays.

I did a text search for oracle and was surprised to see it jump down to your comment.

Amen, brother! Mod this guy all the way up.
While I was reading this, I was thinking "Who's this 'we' you speak of?" when you say "We play games to escape."
Tell it to my face, buddy. Preferably after I cap yo' ass with my gat (in a multiplayer game).
You want the real justice?
