I am going through a similar thing where I am. For 5 years, I have used my personal laptop for over 12 hours a day for coding, etc.
Now, all of a sudden, it's not ok anymore. It's not like I use some infected Windows-ass piece of Dell shit either. (Ironically, that's what they are trying to force me to use!)
No cell phones is a retarded rule. I have 3 kids all under age 5. Plenty of emergencies arise--as you can imagine. Without cell phones, how would we be able to deal with them?
But what exactly does the density of a material (or lack thereof) have to do with the shear strength of the fastener used to install it?
I assume you are actually making an assumption about the shear strength of the tile itself. Let me assure you, it's considerable more shear stable than poly styrene.
Well....you obviously don't understand what the real issue is. If it was about IDEs, then Sun would go after Borland, JetBrains, etc.
The real issue is Eclipse's fracturing Java with the introduction of SWT. Sun has gone through great lengths to maintain a focused, extremely well defined, and open methodology for extending the Java language , APIs, and frameworks. It's called the Java Community Process
If you want to address shortcomings in the Java language, or introduce new APIs, or frameworks, you can submit a JSR (Java Specification Request) for review.
IBM pulled the old, take the ball and go home masturbatory routine with SWT--totally disregarding the JCP.
That's the issue. And I think Sun is justified in defending the JCP.
I was working on my manuscript for "DCOM Maximum Security", but then my computer told me it was going to reboot because the RPC service terminated unexpectedly--and I lost all my work.
"Advanced degrees are for purely academic fields. Associates degrees, or at most, bachelor's degrees are for job-related fields.
That's a silly statement.
I am amazed when I see enterprise systems implemented without any thought whatsoever when it comes to concepts like scale, distributed cache coherency, distributed deadlock, distributed transaction management, right down to the basic concept of protocol overhead when chosing the communication medium.
I see a lot of talk about J2EE vs.Net. Very few people who don't have graduate level knowledge of the concepts mentioned above are even qualified to make the comparison, let alone an educated descision over which platform is right for their application.
"The stuff schools are teaching in quickly changing fields like IT is already dated anyhow."
You mean like Linda? (JavaSpaces) Athena? (Kerberos) Andrew? (OSX/MACH)
Those are all concepts taught in a single Graduate Level class from research done years ago. Yet they are "new" in the commercial world--and that's just a few off the top of my head!
I took a Geospatial database course years ago....and I see Oracle finally started shipping their GS enabled prduct.
Implementations come and go--concepts live on. If you don't even understand the concepts, then you will truely be lost come implementation time--and the performance, scalability, and stability of the resulting system will surely betray your lack of education.

How is that any different than the current model:
1. Hack into
2. ???
3. Profit

Dude, that was so 2001. Do try to keep up
I've held them too.

At least they are going to give him and MCSE so he'll know how to re-image/re-boot his XBox when it BSODs on him.
"Memo to Microsoft - ... give up on inventing your own (ideas)."
what do you mean? they did a great job on inventing a platform on which worms and viruses thrive.
his drivers license--no more Information Super Highway for you!
WTF is a torrent? God dammit, wtf is wrong with posting a damn MPEG?
I guess it's a message from above that I shouldn't bother wasting my time anyway.
"I could be wrong...but I'm a Beatle fan first, and a computer fan second."
And I bet you don't want to work, you just want to bang on your drum all day--eh?
I think we all kinda like the Beatles (even if some of us just like one or two songs) but this is incredibly lame.
Have you met the guy?
This is a good picture of him!
Diamonds in jewelry are overrated any way.
There are much prettier stones available, many with cool characteristics
Where I work, the doors are always open...it's the ears that aren't.
I suspect it's the same situation at all large organizations.
You can lead a manager to an idea, but you can't make him/her think.
IRC is all good and well, but it lacks the appeal of the un-geek.
Try teaching my mom how to use IRC, and you'll see what I mean.
to use more open alternatives. AIM anyone?
I am under no such misconception.
Look again at the quote that I was replying to and you will understand.

What's "segway"? Is that one of those multi-level marketing schemes?
"Guess people should stop investing in companies on the west coast."
I did that in 2001...I guess I am progressive.
I never thought Apple would go to intel anyway.
I knew Mot wouldn't last, and I'm glad to see this.
I would think the answer is as simple as checking the CA's in Mozilla.
It lists a whole truckload of CAs in the Authorities tab of the Certificates option of Privacy&Security.
They can bundle a friggin' game, but where's the JVM?
That must be part of the "real operating system" option--the one that Dell doesn't offer.
I agree WHOLE HEARTEDLY.
This looks so much like WINDOWS it makes me want to VOMIT.
Thank GOD I switched to Mac!
OS X = POWER + USABILITY + FRESH UI
Hell, even M$ got tired of that look. As Fisher-Pricey as Luna looks, it's a hell of a lot better than those butt-ugly 1995 era screen-shots.
My browser (mozilla) isn't RETARDED....but that link in your post sure as hell is.
