Not only that. It's clear that india is a country how have not anymore any problems to solve like enegy production and distribution, rising education level in the poorest places of the country... They should spend their money to make india a place where i would love to emigrate than to spend it for the glory to be the first to send humans on mars.
How would Facebook be now if it doesn't have done its IPO? I personnaly think that the company would be still the same. Perhaps with a little bit less liquidity. It wouldn't have bought the 2 other companies at the prices they bought them. But would Facebook would have been in a better or worst position than now. Is in some cases an IPO not the best solution for a company that is working well. I know that an IPO can make you a lot of money fast that you can reinvest. But thinking long term and gaining that same money little by little without a damocles sword over your head could still be a solution no?
I use Dreamweaver as a better editor. I don't really use the WYSIWYG part of it but all the nicities like templates, editable regions and links management. When i create a new website i go generally in manual coding and define where my editors could update the page with the editable regions and stop them messing with the code of the page structure (but they can use the WYSIWYG features of DW for their editing). The templates make it easier to do changes globally in the website and the link managment reduce greatly the risk of broken links when moving/deleting things.
Ubuntu updates are far less problematic than windows updates in my experience. I have an ubuntu server running with automatic updates for the last 2 years without a problem. I just check it from time to time if it need a reboot for a new kernel. That machine is used by me and the members of my family as file server, web server, mail server, chat server and game server. I can't say the same with my windows 7 box for who i have bad feelings at each updates because until now 3 updates have broken my machine to a point i needed a full reinstall:-(
In north of france, buildings build after the second war are mostly build from red bricks. 2 to 3 bricks wide for structure walls and 1 brick wide for interior walls.
The problem is that they think that the information they put online is nothing important.... Until their life is destroyed by that same information (Teachers' party picture, tweet with bad words...)
Should we cripple services and/or internet because of some fools. Or let Darwin do its job?
For my part i think we should thank that developer. He show to everyone how data protection laws are too lax or inexistant. He show how some people doesn't understand how a little bit of what seems to them innocuous data can bit them in the ass very hard. And perhaps when a certain number of problem will show up in the news and courtrooms due to the availability of these datas, perhaps then the legislator will do something about it under the pressure of the frightened populace.
The problem is that for the bank the money lost is 'minimal'. In the 50 billion $ a year of CC fraud, most of that amount is lost by the merchants and not the bank. The chargeback is from the merchant to the card owner, but the merchand didn't get the sold product back. Now, if a law say that the fraud should be at the charge of the banks, you can be sure that the fixes will be implemented in the following hour !!!
You are completely wrong. SSN like credit card number have control checksums. Up to 2 errors in the SSN could be detected with 100% accuracy, more errors could still be detected with a good probability.
They were not stupid but blindfolded by the bankers. It was the bankers who have accepted to sign these contracts with these poor fools. But the banks didn't feared anything. And they were right. Now it's you who pay for their errors thanks for the government bailout. The banks won a lot of money in the process and it seems that they are doing it all over again with students loans...
* Lack of powerful libraries It is not a language limitation but a limitation of the ecosystem around the language
* For a same functionality program writing from 2 time to 10 time more lines of code than dynamic languages like Python or Perl Being a statically typed language, pascal like any other statically typed language is more verbose. it is not a limitation of the language.
* Languages like Python are better for writing applications and quick&dirty little scripts to help here and there Here the limitation you suggest is the same for C, C++, any compiled language. It is not "the limitations that made Pascal a good student language but lousy for real work" because else any compiled language is in the same basket.
At school it was Turbo-Pascal. At the refinrery it was VAX-11 Pascal. I never user the standard Pascal. That why I never saw pascal limitations then:-)
Actually most of my programs wait more time for the datas than to process them. And when it is number crunching apps (neural networks, statistics, machine learning), numpy/scipy is here to solve, most if not all, my speed problems.
Could you expand on the Pascal limitations things? I used Pascal when i was student, even in the industry (petroleum refinery) and I never encountered any kind of limitations.
Now i use more frequently Python for 3 main reasons: * Avalability of powerful libraries * For a same functionality program writing from 2 time to 10 time less lines of code than Pascal, Java or C/C++. * Cover my old needs of Pascal (writing applications) plus writing some quick&dirty little scripts to help here and there
There is still 1 thing that i hate in Python: It is not easy to use my 4 core processor to the max:-( If tomorrow i find a new language as good as python with the possibility to run a single program on multiple core/processors/computers, I will forget python forever and that new language will be my new language of choice. Do you hear me Guido !!!
It doesn't require any software development. Google bot check against 2 user agent in your robot.txt: Googlebot and Googlebot-News. There is also a lot of possibility with some meta tags.
That strategy doesn't work. The full of crap profile will stand out from the normal ones. Thanks to clustering algorithms who start to be pretty good at sorting thruth from falsehood (eg: spam filtering).
Not so far fetched. In one of my school, the secretary has been fired. She was on our side (the students) against the director. Wrongful termination? Not at all. The motive of the termination was that she used a stamp of the school to post a personal letter. Similar to using the company photocopier to do a copy for you (you use the company belonging for personal gain (ie: not paying in a photocopy shop)). Fortunately, she was re-hired later under the new hugely more competent director.
Some company/administrations still didn't realized that. I am in charge of one of the websites of the biggest european administration. I do the code, the design, the infography, the typography and writing some of the content in a language who is not my mother tongue. Go figure...
Put 22 drivers on a 1 lane track and ask them to drive at 30km/h. You will get a traffic jam. you just need one car to slow down, the following to slow down a little bit more in reaction, and the following reacting even more to get at the end a traffic jam where everyone should stop. And you don't need to be at full capacity to see that effect.
They will not go bankrupt because they also do phone and TV on the link. They will cut the Internet transfert but not the 2 others and thus keep some revenue stream. And to be checked: They could keep all their revenue stream as they still provide TV and phone on the link saying the internet is gratis if the customers take the phone and the TV...
