I was being sarcastic. I realize it doesn't translate well in posting forums. However, since my second paragraph discounted the first I figure that was evident.
Great just what we need, to educate these criminals so they can be more devious when they get out of jail. Educating criminals will just make better criminals. They need to stand in the corner and stare at the wall until they are sufficiently rehabilitated.
That arguement was just as stupid as the one where criminals learn sharpshooting from video games. I cannot remember the last person killed while the shooter had an XBox controller in their hand. Guns don't require a difficult skill set to learn, otherwise we wouldn't have so many redneck hunters.
The developers don't have to sell. In this instance they voted to (shareholders). If the company isn't publicly traded that is an easier task, funding becomes the difficulty.
He/she said: In short, hardware failure is nearly impossible on macs from what I've seen, and I've owned more than a few.
I was pointing out that that was obviously incorrect to anyone associated with using Apple Hardware. I've bought 3 systems in the last 3 years and I've got a 67% recall rate. That being said my older apples are much more stable. My Apple//e runs like a champ 1.47MHz or so. I'm a huge apple computer fan but they aren't any better or worse when it comes to hardware, their support is much better than most but I've never had problems with any of them (corporate accounts carry more weight I guess).
I wasn't saying Dell or anyone was better. In fact the Inspiron 8100 I have is notorious for having a shitty hinge for the screen. As a consequence I'm careful with it. I also have 2 thinkpads that are champs (no problems at all). I'm debating on buying a T42 or R51 at the moment. I just wish they had a Radeon 9700 128MB model instead of 64MB 9600. I would buy another Dell but the 9700 only comes in the 17" which is too damn big and the 9800 doesn't have a centrino processor (those P4 M processors get very warm).
Without social programs and a government that subsidizes these rural boob (red) states it's unlikely they would be any better off than Mexico.
Average Oklahoman thinks "We sure do need smaller government." while the reality is without government subsidies our state would be a bigger piece of shit than it already is.
If you remember the 80's he could have looked a lot worse. Hell his hair looks like most kids I see today (60's ish mop top). They are truly wrong however with him *seductively* leaning over a monitor. I think I'm going to puke. Hopefully no one ever sees my senior picture again (mullet laden and very sad).
No wonder they save. If they buy stuff they don't have anywhere to put it! I thought my friends apartments in San Francisco were small! 200 sq ft is really small. Sometimes living in Oklahoma has its advantages (inexpensive housing & land).
Welcome to Big Government sponsored by the Corporations and Republican Party. Being a liberal democrat I never thought I'd be able to say that, Regan must be turning over in his coffin. The only difference between the conservative big govt and the liberal big govt is the liberal big govt is providing for the people, the conservative is providing for big business (Note the word big). I'm a small business owner and I don't get subsidies. Maybe I need to look into grant writing.
Lol, that is one of the most on-topic posts that completely misses the point of the original poster. Congrats on getting your frist-post not modded troll.
FASB is run by a bunch of dumb asses who need to come up with new shit every year to justify their stupid government job.
Tax Code:
Income (Money paid for services, money selling expensed items) -Expenses (Screw depreciation, etc. Immediate for everything) --------- Net Income - Tax Rate ---------- Profit
How fucking hard does a tax system need to be. As a small business owner it's a god damn joke. Mind you I have a degree in Finance and I only needed 2 classes for a degree in Accounting as well. After working for Andersen and seeing all the BS that happens in corporate america we need to vastly simplify the system and be done with it. Quit with the fucking subsidies for the GE, Microsoft and Ford's of the world. This country is too deep into the bullshit we've created. I mean sending people to PRISON for copying some fucking bits? Unbeliveable.
Becoming a good flash developer is significantly more difficult than learning HDML/CSS tags. If it is used in the proper context Flash is a great tool. Unfortunately it is rarely used in a productive manner.
Actually it's why Java should be ignored. You're just as safe using an MS product as you are a Sun product. Actually with Sun's bleek future I would say being a MS shop is significantly more secure. I love Tomcat but this is one more reason to be wary.
1/2 my companies applications run on Tomcat the other half run on IIS. They both are behind firewalls and are both very stable (you don't have to reboot for every windows update, just stop and restart the services the same way you do in Unix-based OSes).
I'm a big fan of the new.Net architecture and the VS.Net tools that now allow you to step through ASP.Net code and SQL Stored Procedures. I guess I'm one of the rare people who like almost every platform available to develop on. ASP/SQL Server & JSP/PostgreSQL are my favorites.
I build houses and am a software engineer as well, so I feel obligated to chime in on this.
If any builder takes on a project without knowing 99.9% of the costs, regulations, etc., beforehand they won't be building for long. My company is a very small custom home builder (my father is the architect I am the site manager/CAD/Computer Guy/etc...) We know the cost of every single material that goes into our home and what our expected profit margin is. By tightly controlling costs and avoiding waste (hiring more expensive contractors with more experience pays in the long run) and selling a product for less than our competitors we make around 50-100% more per home. By doing so we can provide a better product.
When we have a customer that wants to change something or their time to pick tile/granite/carpet/wood/etc... comes up, we make them sign an order and they have an allowance. If they go over they pay more, if they go under we refund them money. Design Build Specifications are necessary in building and software development the same way.
Would you build a home without a floor plan? (assuming a country home where permits aren't required) No. Why would you build anything with a floating spec and expect it to be successful. You wouldn't. The problem is peoples jobs aren't relying on the success/failure of a single project sometimes. It's better to not take on a project doomed to failure than it is to try and make it succeed.
I've got 2 software products that are available in 2 different companies. The first was a piece-meal project that had no spec. It turned into a nightmare but is slowly breaking even. The second product I have is taking off extraordinarily well due to the extensive planning and knowledge of the product before development.
Planning doesn't insure success, it does however make it significantly more likely.
What applications would you use one of these for? I see these embedded things advertised all the time and don't have a clue what anyone would use them for. Too low level for me I guess.

You get Doom III instead of Half-Life 2.

Don't feel bad. My team stunk it up too (piss poor play).
Isn't the Pentium-M based off the PIII core? In that case a PIII that is modern as you put it is the Pentium-M which matches or outperforms the P4.
Why do all Apple lovers wear their heart on their sleeve? Sad really.

On the front page at Apple you have:
Battery Failure
iBook MoBo Failure
This is why I sold my iBook, it was a great machine but I don't want something that in all likelihood will fry itself do to bad engineering.
Not to mention the problem with the white spots on all the powerbooks when they first came out (Aluminum).

I meant when. Whoops!
How do people find this stuff? Amazing. Open source is astounding.
When do I get my kernel update?
So you install a new version of Tomcat over a running copy?
How hard is it to (in Windows):
1. Stop the Service (10-15 seconds)
2. Update Files (1-2 minutes)
3. Restart Services (10-15 seconds)
SQL Server is the same way except it does those things for you.
If you want evidence simply test it out for yourself. All you need to do is check the dll/exe/etc versions that are being updated.
Personally I generally do reboot because I'm lazy. But if you're really concerned with up-time it can be done.
BTW Here is a link to a longest up time on netcraft. It's doubtful that they have installed no patches on #15 (Windows running Apache).

That looks like castle wolfenstein to me.
