That's sort of the problem whether you're a 1 or a 10 level programmer, ego has nothing to do with that. I knew people who wrote spaghetti code who had bad attitudes. I know people who were quiet and nice and wrote great code. There really is no correlation besides someone who wants to classify incorrectly.
The assumption is that all great programmers are a pain to deal with. That assumption is totally incorrect. Different people have different skills, personalities and abilities to work with others.
wifi is radio. I could tune into them using a reciever in the 2.4 ghz range easily. I can even use a dsp to decode it via soft radio, and respond to the messages. anything that uses the radio spectrum is radio. Morse code is the same thing as wifi, just 1000x slower.
Yeah so... how many apps take advantage of that 64 bit instruction set or the increased processing power? considering it has 2 gigs of ram, certainly it won't utilize over 4 gigs of addressable memory space. Any apps that are made to use the extra cpu and 64 bit instruction set will be unusable by the previous generation and the 5c? sounds like a plan.
so from the title of the discussion, the blurb and the first, i dunno, 25 posts i was under the impression that the evil republicans came together to pass a law that bans them from selling cars. Down at post 100 or so, someone who's actually informed correctly states that there's a law where no manufacturer can own a dealership, which is something completely different. In fact some other poster states that they have a showroom and will ship directly to your area.
This is downright misleading in so many regards. I have no problem with the texas law. I have no problem with how tesla has to sell cars. This isn't something new, it's always been like this in texas.
The editors should be ashamed they didn't bother to do any homework on the subject.
SVN or Git for code repository. Easy to set up, lots of windows and linux tools, command line based even if you want that.
However for documentation, i recommend confluence, or the many free wiki based collaborative solutions. This allows people to post on a wikipedia like site their documents. They become automatically searchable, people can collaborate in the documentation with version control built in. Confluence allows you to drag and drop ppt, import and export word documents, drop excel files in there or anything else it recognizes. The idea of single user word documents and passing around outdated versions is old and retarded.
but the cost has gone drastically down. I bought a 64 gig micro sd for about 100$. Now i see it for less than 40$. When ssds came out they were expensive, like 2-4$ a gig. Now it's less than.50 cents per gig at some levels. An ssd that's 1tb costs around 650$. In a year that will be 400$, in 2 years probably 200$. I don't see how "spinning rust" will ever get cheaper. It'll be replaced by solid state memory in no time.
and call for msata to be added to tablets? There are already 512 gig drives on the msata scale and they're tiny (51 x 30 x 0.8mm) so, why re-introduce mechanical harddrives which are larger?
Those are awful court decision. Replace woman taking off their blouse with signage, advertisements, police sirens, speed limit signs, noisy kids in the car, radio, etc and there are literally hundreds of possible distractions to a driver. If the driver does not take responsibility for his/her own actions then they shouldn't be driving. Period.
When you get behind the wheel of a car, you take responsibility for driving yourself, those in your vehicle and other drivers around you, and should perform and pay attention to the best of your ability as the situation demands. Anything else is a failing on your own part and no one else's.
If i want to bring a peanut butter sandwich to work with full knowledge that Bob from accounting is allergic, the only reasonable action i must take is to make sure that I don't purposely expose Bob my delicious sandwich. If i get into an argument with Bob and be punches me in the face and steals my lunch and proceeds to wolf it down in front of me, i am not responsible for his actions.
There has to be a cut off where personal responsibility takes over.
If someone is driving and decides to ignore the laws and text, phone, do their makeup, drink, jump out the car, light themselves on fire, it is not the responsibility of a third party to ensure they don't do any of those things. I've never heard the defense of "Sorry, i was too distracted by that hot blonde in the other lane" being used to defend their reckless behavior. There are hundreds of distractions when driving. It is up to the driver to focus on the task at hand.
Now if you were driving with a bunch of clowns in a car, and they proceeded to grab the wheel, i can see where a direct cause and effect of getting into an accident could the the responsibility of another person. But last time i checked, texting someone does not require them to immediately check it. Unless of course they have a bomb strapped to their necks that will go off unless they respond, i don't think anyone will ever believe that they were forced to be distracted.
so then unionize. Or have they been too demonized that even though they fight for working conditions, safety and pay by grouping everyone together, you'd rather go solo and leave it up to the company you work for who's sole interest is making the most money? Hmm, choices...
What exactly are you implying? Were they forced up a tower at gun point? Are you saying out of the thousand of workers who regularly climb towers and don't fall and injure themselves, these 10 workers were denied proper safety training and equipment?
It's a bit hard to determine why it happened, but please don't just assume it was just so that companies can make a few extra bucks, and i won't just assume it's because of gross negligence on the part of the worker.
That's a matter of personal opinion. In general wrong and illegal are the same thing, because no one will be able to decide what is wrong unless it's defined that way.
.... different games at the same time? Because it's so difficult to pass a cd/dvd across rooms in a single house since they're all playing different games? I don't see your point. Because those weren't the decision makers. They were just the fall guys. The directors and management who allowed them to do what they did need to be sacked too. Unless you really think microsoft operates in completely isolated silos and some manager in the xbox division has complete product control as well as the ability to make public statements to enrage the market he's trying to convince to buy the console. I'm willing to bet his decisions and statements were approved beforehand. Something maybe you haven't considered?... windows ME had a market share too. Windows phones having single digit market share doesn't mean success in the least. It's late to the market, has no features that people want. Even the marketing was so obtuse. Being able to post a facebook picture faster was the main marketing advertisements for it. How is it better than android or iOS? Because microsoft created it? And what are the competitors anyways? Symbiant? RIM os? Third party dumbphone os? They failed to make any case for why consumers would want it. Besides operating in their standard "lets just con manufacturers that this will take off" and only netting nokia as a gullible failure. Win 8 added features to PCs that pc users did not want and actively try and remove. To me that's a bone headed move that will hurt in the long run. It's not even some evolution that people are resistant to, it's just plain dumb. How many win 8 users on a pc get rid of the start screen? Probably most because it's not made for a mouse and keyboard but a touch screen. It just tells me that the company has some really bad systematic decision making problems. Maybe they think they're too big to fail, but at this point with their current lack of success people are going to notice and laugh them off the map.
after you basically admit you did it deliberately in an attempt to avoid the law.
Isn't our entire judicial system predicated on the desire to avoid the law? Or is there a club dedicated to breaking laws and handing out merit badge like awards that i am not aware of?
your analogy is invalid and childish. Your reasoning is poor. You're suggesting that i retain no memory of what led up to that poor decision and treat them like a child who's learning. Saying that backpedaling and half assed apologies should make up for the fact that it was a PR nightmare. None of those features is what anyone wanted except publishers and advertisers, both whom which the console was never marketed for. Because they sacked one guy doesn't mean that the culture of screwing over the customer doesn't still exist, or should i recall a boatload of recent windows products? How's RT and win 8, windows phones doing? yeah same crap. Over-marketed, poorly thought out and stuff that no one wants. Did you even pay attention to the attitude of the people who pushed this crap? I don't care if they were sacked, that doesn't make up for the fact they told people who don't have consistent internet to buy a 360 instead. That stays in my memory as a reason to never give then any money in the future. It's not my fault you don't have the ability to recall events such as that.
You don't show companies you mean business by compromising. They tried to push crap that no one wanted. Always on internet checking validity of games purchased? 24 hours and it stops playing back games? Giving the ability to resell games up to publishers to decide what they want to do? these are awful business decisions that take control away from the consumer. How you respond to this is by saying no, i will never have this and you can keep your crap. You stop this behavior by straight out boycotting. I don't owe microsoft a purchase because of their back peddling. I'm not acting like a child because i stick to my decisions. You're ludicrous in even suggesting that i do. I do not have to reward businesses for good behavior. They're out to make money and that's it. The very thought of them being anti-consumer is like a cyanide pill to themselves.
Still won't buy it. I don't care how many of their features they're changing around. I don't care if they pay me to put it in my house. It's never happening. XBone is DOA.
is to deep six RT tablets completely and focus on bringing light weight x86 compatible tablets to the market pronto. Fast, light weight, portable laptop replacements. Make them 1/2 the price of ultrabooks and then watch the tablet market crumble and fall back to pcs. Unfortunately they went full retard with RT. If it came out at like 200$ maybe it would of survived, but even then it would of been crappy. Microsoft's main selling point is it's huge software suite in x86 land, not ARM. Leave that to Android and iOS. Whoever sold them the idea that they could half ass into a saturated market with no real offerings cost them a chunk of change. Then again investors can be fooled into thinking that "this time things will be different"(TM).
No. The point of cache is to hold the data read in memory so it can be loaded again in a fast way. Loading things for the first time will never be faster in a hybrid drive. Never. That's the whole point of SSDs however.
yeah... not quite. If you're given tools to use for work, as long as you don't abuse them i don't see why you'd have to ask the owner to use them since you're already given permission to use them. Why is it the phone, which was the primary form of communication has certain rules regarding personal use. How there are laws that say even if an owner of a company pays for the service, how if you receive a personal call he/she cannot listen in and pretend he owns all use of it. Ditto with voicemail or answering machine messages. Yet in today's age where computers are the primary form of communication, personal emails do not receive the same form of legal protection that's afforded to voicemail? If i decide to google something for personal reasons, wouldn't that be equivalent to calling someone and asking them a question? One receives protection while the other is open to spying. If i decide to shoot the shit by the watercooler does my employer have the right to listen in? I don't think they have the right to plant listening devices in the building even if they do pay rent. There is a level of expected privacy that hasn't been applied yet to computers that confuses me.
