    Contractors are an exclusion to this, though often not managers, some project managers fall into this category. Coming on-site executing a successful project and then doing it again at a different site requires way more managerial skills and organization than a guy that's been getting fat at his corp for the last decade.

    Managers should manage, coders should write code. A manager should get the jist of what's going on beneath him/her, but not partake in it. Also, the obvious question comes to mind that I haven't seen yet... why not promote yourself?

    Let's think about this, if you're good enough to hire your own boss, you're good enough to be that guy, well betas excluded.

    I've turned the opportunity down once (to become the boss), and I felt like I had a slew of good reasons, but I'll always wonder what if till it comes up again anyways. But... if somebody asked me to hire my own boss, I'd recommend myself and if not, I'd find another place to work. Under no circumstance do I want to hire then train a person who's going to be making more than me and telling me what to do, that has "not ends well" written all over it. Most management types are POS anyways.

    Somebody owns the store and if that somebody says you can't come into their property, it becomes trespassing past that point.

    Now about 2 grown men tasering a woman... sorry did I say men? I meant retarded boys.

    It can... you'd have to write a reverse mouse coordinator to keyboard mapper type app, account for screen resolution, write an algorithm, or use a set of pretty red eyeballs to factor out all the typos, junk clicks, factor in for auto-correct on this types of keyboards and then maybe you'd have something. And these are obvious issues I can think of off the top of my head. Any volunteers?

    Oh, this crap: Windows server CALS There's typically ways around this for larger organizations through more expensive, but open licensing models. Never had to deal with it thankfully, also it's really hard to enforce for MS, so some people don't bother. You are technically right though, as per the MS licensing model, these are required.

    You should try NoSQL, and as a guy who's done A LOT of sql development, they're all more or less the same, the syntax may vary, especially with oracle, and so may the licensing fees.

    Also, somewhere between ODBC & OLE DB, which as far as I know are supported by any worthwhile SQL "flavor", you can connect SQL to SQL in any form.

    Client licenses, what? Are you talking about windows OS keys? Why would anybody think those are suddenly not required?

    Then again, reading through this discussion, I'd have to say most of the posters don't have a clue what they're talking about in regards to active directory and the relevance of what samba supposedly did here. I'd still wait 1/2 a year to put it into a test environment & another year to go production. AD isn't something that can error out sometimes without consequence.

    On that note, to all the businesses who can't / don't want to afford windows SBS, this should like getting free money. Otherwise AD is just a role on a modern windows server... Notice how this is not a stand alone server , 99% of the time it's better to leave it stand alone.

    Also, another thing I was looking for from the article was MISMO, there is no mention of it, AD will not integrate right without it. Hopefully, those roles are handled properly if we were to integrate it with an MS AD server.

    At stage 0 you're right, but while we can become fully infected with the flu and still live, not so with cancer, once it gets past a certain point, the immune system can't do much, that's because there's no cancer antibodys, so there's really no tool to fight it if it develops into anything. I don't think we know enough about all the various ways cancer develops to truly understand the early stages however.

    Rofl, worth the down vote from linux zealots imho. Most people suck enough at photoshop, graphics creation with CLI? You folds realize there's this thing called cognition, AND IT HAS A LIMIT. The tool above is an interface for communicating with an API of a graphics enabled framework (.NET, Java, etc...) , the equivalent of a quickwatch VS debug tool for images. Still, if you're asked to change a logo, CLI shouldn't be what comes to mind.

  25. Re:Balancing potential deaths with real-today ones on Altered Immune Cells Help Girl Beat Leukemia · · Score: 2

    The problem is... our immune systems are a lot better equipped to deal with viruses than with cancer. Think about it, to kill cancer, your symptoms are similar to a cold. If this takes off, remember all those years they spent trying to treat it with drugs? They've made some progress, but it's relatively insignificant in comparison to a cure. Your body's body is it's best friend :)
