but when employers get together to improve their bargaining position you think it should be illegal
Employers already got together to improve their position. They called it a C-Corp. Or S-Corp, LLC, Delaware Corporation, or whatever else they did to create a single "front" entity with which everyone must deal.
I used mh/nmh for a long, long time. The command-line tools were excellent for quickly filtering emails (thanks to bash and grep and each message being a file in a folder), but really, the tcl/tk exmh wrapper was what I really liked. It did what I wanted, using tools that worked, without me having to memorize all the tools and how they worked.
The C-suite, whose job is to guide the company strategically, does not need to know how the hardware and software works on a detailed level, or at all really.
And yet, I'm pretty sure Boeing's CEO doesn't order the employees to start building planes without wings (I don't care, just do it! You're the engineer, you make it work or I'll find another that will!) Something tells me he knows planes a bit better than "not at all, really".
My guess is that they've got some onkey* event handler checking to see if you typed something in the blank, instead of using oninput which also fires for pasting.
Microsoft ought to issue one last update for XP to replace IE's "this site is broken and sucks shit" message with "this browser is broken and you need to upgrade to access secure sites"
That's the only way I'll ever be able to remove support for XP's https implementation from my servers (or until 2020 or so when the last of the XP boxes finally have their harddrive fail and a new computer bought)
This is absolutely what the programmers need. Someone who can explain domain knowledge and how they expect to use the software without starting to go off on about how you can just use a database widget to manipulate the numbers here in that java thingy. If I was going to write accounting software, I don't need someone telling me what library function to use to calculate interest, I need someone to tell me what happens when a user chooses cash basis or accrual basis, and which one is a more likely choice so we can make that the default and save the user a click (or perhaps it is absolutely vital that the user chooses one without simply accepting a default).
The general case of learning to ____ for the purpose of interacting with someone who _____s makes my skin crawl. The accountant should consider this the other way around and ask himself how they'd feel if the programmers started coming up to him to ask if his receivable cash bases are dollar averaged or some other mishmash of terms that will hopefully sound inane to an accountant.
That said, there's nothing wrong with learning to program for the sake of learning to program, and if he was able to bootstrap himself to a level appropriate for the task on hand it would almost certainly be beneficial to himself and his team (unless his team members are paranoid that he's looking to replace them). The main issue is the strain he'd put on the programmers if he tries at too low of a level, and the programmers end up taking time from their actual job function to train him.
No, but now that the government has established the proper channel for petitioning the government for a redress of grievances, you can stop suing the government in court over infringed rights. Just post your petition online and sit back while it's soundly ignored.
Or you don't have any idea how many calories are in what you eat. It doesn't help that people made up numbers to assign to fat and sugar and so on, then declared that this fiber can't be digested and this fiber can.
The article says OR physical access, so it sounds like if you know the admin password you can upload a firmware image over the network, which seems to be pretty damn common on network devices.
Last week I opened a.doc file in Word 2010, where someone had tried to pretend Word was excel and made the document be several pages of page-sized tables of data. In "compatibility mode" the second table appeared on top of the first table on the first page (I could grab it and drag it back to the blank second page, thankfully it wasn't behind the first table)
There's plenty of anecdotes of fucked up shit office suites do as well as fucked up shit users do in their office suites (I guarantee you that all the "repagination" people had to spend 15 minutes a day on was thanks to people hitting enter over and over to get to the next page instead of page-breaking.)
I had considered slackware but I didn't have enough floppy disks and it seemed like a huge waste of time and money to buy all the floppies then download them over 28.8k when the cd in my awesome new tower was faster. Don't remember how much I paid for the box with CDs in it, but I still have the CDs somewhere.
I discovered Debian when redhat's 5.0->6.0 (libc5->glibc2) upgrade went completely fubar. I have an installation (of Theseus) that started as Hamm (Debian 2.0, which was already glibc2) and has been successfully upgraded ever since then, thanks in no small part to the wonders that are dselect and apt-get, which was light years beyond anything redhat had for RPM way back then (which way back then was "download all the rpms and rpm -i *.rpm")
Oh, and of course, I forget what every other person who tries to start a company forgets: Marketing. Your salesperson probably can't build a webpage or do SEO or design a slick brochure to hand out to prospects. Better hire someone to do those too.
Better move fast, your seed money is burning.... wait, what do you mean you don't have half a million dollars in savings from your last job to throw at this one?
Don't forget hiring a lawyer, an accountant, an accounts manager to make sure you get paid, an HR department to make sure everyone does their job, and finally developers to do all that work you were going to do on your own but now you're just too busy being the boss of all these people to do it yourself.
Pretty much everything network will shit itself on resume on any OS unless maybe you have a hardwired ethernet connection with a static IP and the device manufacturer/driver developer thought that case was worth supporting. Before I disabled sleep/suspend on it, my Windows 7 computer's wireless adapter would work for about 15 seconds out of suspend (long enough to load up a webpage) before either Windows or the driver thought "Uhoh! I just resumed! I better wipe my address and re-connect!" and stop working while the systray icon let me know it was connecting to the network I was just using. I assume that it worked for the first few seconds because the state was saved/restored correctly, and since nothing else uses my wireless network, it never had a problem with IP conflicts.
I've never have suspend or hibernation issues while running Windows based OS
Then you've been lucky. Since the 90's, I've had plenty of computers go into "Coma Mode" where they refused to wake up from sleep in Windows. Even now, the most I do is let the computer suspend the display, and there's some modern monitors that shit their pants when the computer tries to put them to sleep regardless of the OS. My current monitor takes about 5-10 seconds to wake up, works fine for a couple of seconds, then freezes the display for a couple of seconds then starts working normally. I was looking at buying this monitor but the reports of having it flip repeatedly through all the inputs instead of just going to sleep like it should is a dealbreaker. Especially since if you turn it off, when you turn it back on it apparently takes several seconds to boot up followed by several seconds of logo bullshit.
I believe Microsoft-compatible product and driver certification fixed a lot of the shit out there. If Linux had a powerhouse that could bend the hardware behemoths to their will similarly, it wouldn't be having this problem now.

Goes to show that I don't know enough about planes to be the Boeing CEO :)

These days I just use gmail.
Yeah, right. And you're going to give them a raise for putting up with your bullshit? No? That's bullshit then, and I'm not putting up with it.

Just think, you can finally be a huge dick to people on the road without worrying whether they've got a gun and a temper!
Oh wait, they might still have a gun and a temper, and now they don't need to have either hand on the wheel while they're trying to fuck you up.

Misery loves company.
That's why I call COBOL a read-only language. It's absolutely clear what it does, but who the hell would write all that?

No more taking money from people to delete their records, then keeping the records anyway? Oh wait...
My cat is bright purple, therefore 2+2=4. Ex falso, even the truth can be proven.
No! You are only allowed to play one game!
I wonder what all the fans of RPGs have to say about this, it's not like I play Baldur's Gate or Final Fantasy 6 exclusively.
Good luck getting American soldiers to use those weapons on their own friends and families
Don't worry, they'll rename themselves to Union soldiers and fire away. Brother against brother and all that.

You're not a special snowflake who gets to pick and choose the work you'd like to do.
You're right, I'm not, and I don't. Next order of business, who died and made you my boss, and have you gotten your new business cards printed up yet?
