Curious how you managed to avoid COBOL, did you believe all the "COBOL is dead" propaganda? There are still plenty of well-paid COBOL contracts out there, your Assembler experience may be relevant.
We support products written in a couple of older versions of Delphi, which cannot run debug under Windows 7. There are no plans that I know about to transfer these products to a later version of Delphi, and the released products run under Windows 7. So we will need to keep XP installations around for the foreseeable future to support these products.
Web-designers will throw their hand up in horror, but good old HTML2 frames still work just fine, just be careful about escaping the frame when linking out of the site. See sig for example.
HTML2 is also readable by mere mortals, a feature which later versions have endevoured to remove.
So where is the free PDF editor? Never mind, there isn't one.
Who wants dead tree format anyway? Most times I follow a link and discover the content is PDF, I give it a pass. If you want to publish on the web, use HTML.
A hypothesis is that dogs became domesticated through captured wolf cubs being trained, whereas cats started hanging out with humans when we started storing grain and they found a ready supply of rodents. Cats got used to being around humans, rather than being actively domesticated.
Just yesterday I wanted to download VLC media player. Top link on Bing: repackaged with junk seach engine and crapware newsletters. Top link on Google: the home site which linked to the sourceforge download.
Of course Microsoft could be doing that on purpose for Open Source software...
I only accept cookies from sites I trust. Yes this sometimes causes problems on untrusted sites - which gives me further reason to not trust them! If a web designer does not anticipate "no cookie" users, their intention is to give your privacy a good shafting.
You start him with "B" visa, hiring him via a Canadian agency, who pay him from Canada. While he works for you, you send him to a local community college to get the extra points, qualifying him for a "J" visa, at which point you can cut the Canadian agency out of the loop. When he gets the extra points, you switch him to an "H" visa, and support his green card application.
Thats how it worked back in the 90's, anyway. Except I stuck with the agency, then got left high and dry when the development work dried up before Y2K,and I returned to Europe.
I was pleasantly surprised, some parts of your country are quite civilised;)
If the US did not have such a fondness for extreme prison sentence length, it would be a simpler issue. To quote the article:
If McKinnon is extradited, he could be given a 70-year sentence in a high-security prison (he would, as an overseas national, be considered a "flight risk", hence imprisonment with violent criminals rather than in an open prison). If tried in the UK - his home country, and where he was living when he committed the crimes he admits to - the sentence would be more lenient. As the human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson, QC told me: "The real impropriety of the McKinnon case is the disproportionality in the merciful sentence that he would have received here and the sentence that awaits him."
They seem to think they are in competition with Internet cafes instead of broadband providers. The result is that mobile internet is strictly for fashion victims.
You burnt MIR up in a forced re-entry, when it would have just as easy to park it in a safe orbit for future generations, but you want to stick this bus in a museum?
Sometimes it as as simple as subtle changes during the planning phase. As someone whose hands shake too much for FPS and RTS, I was happy enough with TBS and Adventure games.
So I was happily playing Myst 4, only to discover the designers had decided that a couple of puzzles weren't hard enough (vibrating crystal puzzle & monkey puzzle), so they had stuck timers on them!
Could you disable or adjust the timer? No, sorry shaky hand player, game over.
Within the past two generations we have seen suits go from being the indicator of respectability to a symbol of sleaze, employed by professional liars (politicians and salesmen) to disguise their true nature.

Are you lucky enough to have never had less than five bucks in your pocket?

did they leave them out just to annoy them?
Who cares about their retarded business model? I cannot recall the last EA game I bought. Not that I didn't buy one, it just wasn't memorable.

from Ireland it gave me http://www.vlc-download.com/, which is the crapware download.

As a geek a decade older than this particular fruit-bat, I can assure you he's right on the monkey.
Fuck off back to Digg where you belong.

Nice to see they are not easily swayed by the "fashion victims" of more recent languages.

America, your make me sick.
Just strip them of citizenship and stick them on a boat back to Oz - if only our politicians weren't running scared of them.
you're calling CmdrTaco a troll?!?
You have big balls, but no brains...

RealMyst only works up to XP - I was unable to get it working under Vista. Anybody tried on Win7?
Do CompSci interns need to justify their tenure? Hey look, a programming paradigm!
hang on, Stallman thinks it is a good idea? The kiss of death!
