I think the word you're searching for as an alternative to "professional" is "craftsman".
I thought it was odd that for my undergraduate CSCI degree, I was required to take a philosophy course on Professional Ethics, even though the class very specifically pointed out that computer programmers, computer scientists, etc. were not professionals. A very realistic introduction to the business world, that was.
You omitted the part of the article before that bit. Here's some more context:
The comments at the heart of the case came at the end of a series of posts between Hipcheck16 and Stone's son, who was concerned about online remarks the teen regarded as critical of his mother. At one point, the teen asked to know the poster's identity and challenged him to debate the issues in person.
Declining an invitation to pay a visit, Hipcheck16 posted a response that said, according to court documents, "Seems like you're very willing to invite a man you only know from the Internet over to your house -- have you done it before, or do they usually invite you to their house?"
The teen appeared to be soliciting a visit, and the posted declined, then lobbed an insult back. Wow, that's strong stuff. As a parent, I'd be more pissed off about the things my kid was saying online than the relatively-amusing response it garnered.
Speaking as someone who has diagnosed Aspies for kids and is probably one himself, young high-functioning autistics often end up saying things that would be considered tactless or impolite. It's my understanding that it takes longer for autistics to learn those nuances of interpersonal communcations.
Your average desktop user does not want to go, 'Oh, well, I'm running on Processor X, with distribution Y, patch Z. I guess that means I need/this/ tarball (or this subdirectory of the big tarball).' Fat binaries solve this problem.
Your average desktop users don't currently have that problem when using modern Linux distributions like Ubuntu, since the tools take care of that for them.
But even then most people never heard of it until the Killer Application called Mosaic was released
People may also have heard about it when the Morris worm hit, as it was covered nationally, though the word "Internet" may not have been mentioned in all outlets.
But if you go down that 'lack of free will' route, then crime was predestined, this subsequent capture was predestined, the judge was predestined to set that particular sentence too, and everything about the whole world is basically pointless.
Can you really say that, for any of your decisions in the past, that given the same circumstances, same background, same knowledge, etc., that you would have chosen anything differently?
Things may be predestined, but that doesn't mean there's any way to discover what that would be. The sheer complexity of the universe (with over a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion particles all interacting simultaneously at the quantum level) and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle conspire to keep that from you.
I wasn't referring to fiscal policy, I was referring to the housing bubble. It WAS a ponzi scheme
You're equating a housing bubble fueled by over-enthusiastic speculation with a deliberate scheme to defraud by paying older investors using new investments? So much for using correct terminology.
Well I dunno about that. Both DCL and the Dos batch file environment seem to be laughably crippled to me compared to a typical Unix shell enviroment.
I don't disagree. I typically use Cygwin on Windows because I can't stand to be without a bash prompt.
Lumping DCL and DOS/CMD together is unfair. Over the years, I've built DCL scripts, Unix shell scripts, and DOS/CMD batch files, and that last is simply painful.
Too bad they didn't also port DCL to Windows NT. It was supremely verbose, but anything would have been better than having only the MS-DOS-compatible command prompt to choose from for a command shell. That probably would have been a little too much stealing, though.
Now why would I want to do anything that fucktarded, when I can just use the source? And if I needed cross-platform that badly, I can always ship ONE java app with ONE instance of data. The '90s called, they want their obsolete fat and universal binaries back.
The elusive (+1 Insightful, -1 Flamebait) post makes a brief appearance, flashing its brightly-colored plumage, before disappearing back into the brush.
something is wrong in a society that values children so little that women of lower incomes *must* go back to work before their children are of school age.
I assume you mean 1/8". I thought the iPod used a regular TRS connector and the iPhone used the TRRS/4-conductor plug. Curious how this would work with their "one out pause, two out stop" method of control.
No matter what, they didn't have a chance. Risk being unpatriotic now or risk being unpatriotic later, either way the government was right and the telcos were wrong, because thats the law. Sounds like sweet, sweet JUSTICE to me.
Sounds like the right "JUSTICE" might be to prosecute those responsible for this whole mess.
The MH907 is only compatible with Sony Ericsson's own Fast Port-equipped phones -- Fast Port is SE's proprietary connector on the bottom of its phones.
Fail.
How, pray tell, would you expect them to do this with current, standard headphones? It's possible you're referring to their lack of a standard connector like USB, in which case you might have a point.
Sadly, nuance like that is apparently not conveyable in 4chan-speak.
Yes, not just naturally-occurring radioisotopes, but everything that has a temperature above absolute zero radiates EM radiation of a higher frequency than microwaves in the form of thermal (blackbody) radiation. That's not normally termed "radioactive", but the garlic farmer is just as confused.
This was an approach to making money in the game Elite that players soon figured out. Fill out your hold with radioactives, which the market would pay you to take, then dump them after you hyperspaced into another system. Proceed to the space station as though nothing happened.

I'd love to see an school + apprenticeship model in IT btw.
I agree. The less experienced often get mentored anyway, we just need it a bit more formalized.
This used to be enforced by guilds. In modern times, the closest we have to this are large unions, but those are relatively controversial.

Garbage collectors typically don't bother allocating objects of the same type together.
Probably because garbage collectors don't allocate things, they collect the garbage that's no longer being used.

PS - Nice way to slam sufferers of autism.
How is that a slam against those with autism?

America is only a subset of humanity.
That's charitable of you. Some might instead say that the sets of America and Humanity have non-null intersection.

Glass ceilings shatter and women rule the world. Men cannot be reached for comment.

Lumping DCL and DOS/CMD together is unfair. Over the years, I've built DCL scripts, Unix shell scripts, and DOS/CMD batch files, and that last is simply painful.
Otherwise, Windows would by now have a real command prompt and command-line tools.
Too bad they didn't also port DCL to Windows NT. It was supremely verbose, but anything would have been better than having only the MS-DOS-compatible command prompt to choose from for a command shell. That probably would have been a little too much stealing, though.

Why did you say "women" instead of "parents"?
Just issue everyone night-vision goggles and leave the lights turned off.
I consider myself a B5 fan, but I had to look this up.
It's from a B5 book, not any of the episodes or movies. The reviews I can see do not make me want to read it.

In other news... everything is radioactive.

I don't believe we're talking about an orbital farm.
