One cannot "use visual studio professionally". Such is a contradiction in terms. One can unprofessionally use visual studio. Or one can professionally not use visual studio. But other options are absent.
My ide formats my code in pretty ways. It tells me when I've likely fatfingered an = vs ==. It tells me when i have linked a library i probably dont need. Etc etc.
These are all things I should do. But they shouldn't take any brain power.
Ie, I believe one *should* be able to code in vi. But you'd be an idiot to do so by choice.
I'll forgive Microsoft for that when when I don't have to do special tests to see how HTML renders in IE. And no, saying "IE 11 isn't shit" isn't sufficient since I still have to support ie7+ (just got rid of 6 this year).
Wow. 60 jobs in one hour? I totally deserve 365*24-1 hours of snorting blow out of stripper belly buttons after all that hard work writing a check using other peoples money.
Oh wait blow and hookers is bad this week. I meant my quarter billion dollar yacht. I work off that yacht so don't get all offended. And I also work while on the helicopter flying me to my yacht.
I don't trust any company. But your implication is that non advertising companies are more likely to protect your privacy. Why not assume your cable company is selling that same info on the side for extra money? Maximizing shareholder value and all that.
Nothing wrong with giving said person -2% raises year after year either since they're piggybacking off the rest of the team that is available to help with emergencies when they come up.
Shrug. The government currently just asks comcast/verizon/twc/comcast for whatever they need anyway. Your information is going to NSA regardless - who stores it is really a meaningless distinction.
Grabbing everything is incredibly useful. It allows you a baseline against which to look for outliers. Without that baseline, you don't have enough statistical power to figure out what is an outlier.
To make up a ridiculous example, it might be the case that one behaviour terrorists very rarely take part in is looking at funny cat pictures. There's no way to develop that correlation without gathering cat watching behaviour in aggregate.
That said, I'm of the mind that terrorist catching isn't worth monitoring everybody on earths cat watching habits. We all should have the freedom to watch funny cat pics without fear of the government violating our constitutionally protected rights against unreasonable search.
A less cynical explanation would be that the police want you to obey the speed laws everywhere. A relatively cost effective way to do this is for drivers to expect speed traps everywhere - and thus in their paranoia always obey the law. Only obeying the law when there's a known speed trap is ineffective unless there are speed traps everywhere - which is cost inefficient.
That said, the most cost effective way to reduce speeding would be to just don't make cars that can exceed the speed limit. Said cars would cost less to produce since they don't need engines that can push a car to 100 miles per hour. They'd pollute less. And our friendly neighborhood donut eaters could focus on more important things.
There are a few possible explanations as to why. One that comes to mind is people typically are more accepting of a private company charging them exorbitant rates then they are with any increase in tax rates. Which is especially confusing in the case of utilities since granting those utilities a monopoly is a tax. It's just that the cost doesn't show up itemized every year in April.
Like most things in the U.S., just because we do it doesn't mean anybody here thinks it's ok. A privatized military is not a voting issue. Therefore we have it since it allows the government to say "we didn't torture and kill civilians, some contractors did." Also, it's a convenient way to give back to your campaign contributors. But nobody thinks it's ok.
But back to the original question. Just like the above, there is no way to regulate the sale of organs in a way that won't be abused. As soon as there's monetary value attached, the vultures will swoop in make all kinds of untasteful shit happen. Stuff like, forced donation of organs to pay off debts upon death. People taking out loans using their kidneys as collateral. Blah blah blah
Actually it is better. There are lots of rights/benefits we offer to people in the same country that we don't offer to people who aren't from this country. And in exchange for those right/benefits we do things like pay taxes, various civic duties, subject ourselves to a set of laws, or even get drafted into military service.
Maybe someday there won't be borders - but we're a long way from that.
If the car makes better decisions than i do 99.5% of that isn't necessarily safer if the other.5% of the time it makes the worst choice possible. For example, every 100th second, the machine makes a hard 90 degree left turn for no apparent reason.
I've never understood why we don't ban the manufacter and import of guns and bullets. Seems a simpler way to solve the problem then trying to control who buys them.
Personally, I object to him getting *ANY* data that isn't sanctioned by a subpoena. And the current rubber stamp subpoena isn't sufficient.
Seriously, it's atrocious to apply a dollar value to airport security. But we're spending billions on easily circumventable bullshit. Want a flammable liquid? Can't bring it through security - but you can buy it a duty free or get it at the airport lounges/bars. Lighters are not ok - but boxes of matches are ok. Can't bring a knife through security - but it's ok to steal one from a restraunt inside. Etc... Etc...
This whole security bullshit is designed as cover my ass. It needs to die.
the problem is more than one nested queries. databases start behaving differently as to whether the sql is valid or not. Also, some databases aren't as awesome as postgres in fixing shitty sql.
Why would they need to do this when they can just ask verizon or att where you were? The free market is much more efficient at spying on people than the government.
Hmm... like most work that's done in "business land" - this sounds like work that simply should be discontinued. Ie - if you need to manage access to the internet for your employees - control your network.
Applets are a dead technology. All three of the people impacted have been informed of this change. And they're quite angry.
For the rest of us, disable Java (along with ActiveX etc...) in your browser and continue with life.

This.
One person ignoring an emergency situation means somebody else has to cover. The person who covers deserves to be rewarded.
Yes, if there are lots of emergencies - it's probably a broken project. But that's a different issue.
Nothing wrong with giving said person -2% raises year after year either since they're piggybacking off the rest of the team that is available to help with emergencies when they come up.

We should ban the manufacture of guns. And I don't think indefinite means what you think it does...
