Thats the most likely answer. That schools require software that can only run on Windows or Mac. It's as common as requiring a textbook but they do not realize the politics of their decision in not allowing an equally suitable software substitute on alternative OS's.
Unfortunately I have to agree. I have gladly handed over passwords when I knew the person that was taking over was incompetent and they frequently called me back to restore services they lost, destroyed or overwrote accidentally without backing up first. But the issue comes when you do not hand them over when they ask; you can be fired or in a worst case scenario like this, sent to jail. On the other hand, in a worst case scenario the other way, if you hand over the passwords to people who don't know what they are doing, you were merely following the orders of your superiors and they are the ones who have to take the heat.
Ok so what you are saying is blaming raciscts for racism would be stupid?? I get your point that they are just another domino in a domino effect... but for you to deny that there are one of the largest dominos (if not one of the fingers tipping them) would be ignorant.
Yes but the point is that this is their style. 'Obamacare wants to EAT your babies. Those damn liberals are at it again and just want a FREE lunch!' etc etc The stuff writes itself.
Not necessarily... they fail to take into consideration the little known 'nerdserker'. I was into D&D and comics and computers and the art club and the science club but the second anyone picked on me or what, I berserked on their asses and wouldn't stop until they were crying or I came out of my blackout. Few people messed with me unless they didn't know that I would go apeshit crazy on them if they fucked with me.
well as it was explained to me, websockets are in the trunk but should be available by the time it hits gold. You should be able to enable websockets in the beta by messing with the config (though they may not work properly)
Finally, a major browser that supports websockets besides Chrome. hey IE get off your ass. Don't make us have to take another 15% of your market share.
I'd argue the statement isn't an oxymoron but more a self-contained counter productive statement. People worried about their tattooes, and piercings usually make mediocre developers at best. They get GOOD when they get a house/kids/car (maybe not kids) and stop trying to be hip and start focused on developing.
It's also why there was a cigarette vending machine across the street from your high school and Joe Camel was a cartoon character... gotta get em while their young. Yeah, not creepy at all. Never too early to brain wash.
Couldn't agree more. Speaking as a web developer, mosy kids out of high school can do LAMP development or javascripting without formal training. You don't need a 4 yr degree to be a web dev. Unless you are building libraries that industry runs on (and only a handful do that) then you can just use others libraries and occasional suggest or submit code changes.
FUCK CHINA! Yes mark this a trolling but hear me out. They have no consumers. The consumers they have live in squaller and long for a better life and those with any talent and ambition LEAVE China for a better life leaving only those behind who cannot afford to purchase products, live 10 people to a shack and get paid 30 cents a week.
So stop bowing to them. They are not the super power of consumerism and the new economy. Once their money comes back into balance with the dollar, they will collapse and the American consumer will look elsewhere for the next cheap product.
Well developers are actually working in it right now. Considering the fact that there are no books on it published yet and browsers just started supporting it, it will start happening soon. For example, I have been working on adding functionality to a game framework called Akihabara. The game isn't complete and will eventually be multiplayer but it requires reinventing alot of stuff within the limitations of the web and HTML5.
Well if you want examples of what can be done, I have demos of work I'm doing on add-ons to a game framework called Akihabara on Youtube. I've built clickable objects, menus, a scrollable console and am currently working on inventories and drag and drops items.
So yes, you can do about anything that you used to do in Flash but you have a greater amount of control over it.
Really? Can your keyboard play movies and act as a drawing tablet enabling you to see what you are drawing as you draw it? Wow, you're right. Keyboards are so much better... click click click. Don't worry grandad, I'll stay off your lawn.
Apple has already patented this and they have introduced devices to market for a generation where people will be used to typing without a keyboard on their portable devices. This will not be something foreign or new. And with OLED technology, it does not need to affect battery life and can act as a secondary (albeit lower res) screen.
Technology changes and those who scoff at the changes are usually the older generation who doesn't want to change. And they usually end up being those engineers who are unable to adapt.
Then you should talk to people at the Java users group in Seattle. This IS typical for most peoples experiences when dealing with them. One guy talked about how a guy built an app in Dotnet and didn't even understand TCP which is what his app was using. Microsoft makes stupid admins and stupid developers. I have yet to meet the exception to the rule. I'm sure you are correct that there IS an exception but you will have to pass his business card along so I can show people that there is ONE person that Microsoft trained who isn't a complete moron.
Yes... a vulnerability in the server that you would never see in Linux. Dumbass administrators by the THOUSANDS that are TYPICAL for Microsoft sys admins. Again, not typical for Linux sys admins. I work in a MS shop and the didn't even know what SSH was, how to set up LDAP for Java, what a FQDN was, etc. They are point and click admins and this is the norm; this is what Microsoft training cranks out and this is why these security horrors keep taking place; badly trained sys admins on subpar network tools and systems.
I have a MacBook pro and have for years b=now and what Apple has introduced as an 'option' has often turned into a mandatory function. Java used to come with a Cocoa bridge but because they didn't like Java development on Mac, they killed it. Accessing API's used to be something they used to let people do... now if you try to access underlying API's you get booted from their app store.
Apple has a way of changing their mind after everyone is using their tools.
Apple is the new Microsoft... Microsoft is the Old Microsoft... Google is the new Sweetness with Death Cannons on Orbitting Sattelites; I'll be manning one soon. Oxygen is for losers.

Yes and if you like Jesus, you also might like Jim Jones or Charles Manson. Push your cult elesewhere!
No but they are cracker babies. Oh come on... you tea baggers have no sense of humor...

I believe they mispronounced the french when naming their news channel but you get the idea.
Well Akihabara is a game framework for building game in HTML5. I'm actually contributing code and building a MORPG in it.
Not necessarily... they fail to take into consideration the little known 'nerdserker'. I was into D&D and comics and computers and the art club and the science club but the second anyone picked on me or what, I berserked on their asses and wouldn't stop until they were crying or I came out of my blackout.

Hence, the 'nerdserker' (copyright me)

charity is not a business. It's a religion.
And the tricorder has been invented. Dammit Jim, I'm playing Tetris not examining blood cells!

Oh sory.. that was a typo... let me fix that...
Much better. Let the chair throwing commence.
