I run a small consulting/programming outfit in the same highrise as the Square USA offices. It seems like in Hawaii the recession is just beginning to hit us. Lucky for us, we're hiring more programmers and office space has never been cheaper.
The Square closing is sad and speaks to a greater problem with doing business in Hawaii on a global scale. Hawaii has neither the infrastructure nor the expertise to assist businesses looking to grow beyond the islands. It sort of makes me sick.
are you on crack? There are four stories above and below me filled with square USA artists, and I'm in Hawaii. So I don't know what you're talking about.
I've had some issues with coldfusion in the past that I'm sure will be mentioned elsewhere in this discussion --- failover, memory hogging, tag-based coding, lack of short-circuited IF statements.
But as I've used it for a few years, many of those problems have been addressed and fixed. And that's good.
But what I most value it for -- and I've swung back and forth between Perl, ASP, PHP, CF, etc etc for a while -- the reason I come back to it is speed. It's so fast to develop on because it is a language tailored only to web-based database systems. And it happens to do that very, very well.
I'd be a bit wary of PHP under NT. I get the feeling that with a high-end dB like SQLServ, you may encounter problems where your interface layer can't keep up with your backend. Just a thought.
Now THAT was an awesome movie, made awesome by a very good actor. You could feel that kid's pain. And that is, of course, what Ender's Game needs.
Are you on crack? Anakin was the most wooden, unconvincing character in the movie. I could not feel the kid's pain. I felt my pain. Yuck. Casting him as Ender will be a royal mistake-- he messed up the prequel, which didn't even ask for him to act much (watch his scene with Padme again and check that acting!) But Ender is a role difficult for the most accomplished actor, and the decision on the lead should not be made with respect to "star-power."
Trust me, that signals a lean toward traditional hollywood movie-making, which sucks.
Of course, by "hierarchies," I mean conceptually, not really. Like, how.com addresses are valued more highly than.org. Anyhow, the current system sucks because in reality, people do go "Hmm, I want to buy stuff. Maybe I'll go to buy.com." And that just sucks. I mean, I'm not really bitter, I just don't like the idea of someone making a small fortune off of some domain he bought. Well, I would if that was me. Hmm.
This is very true. I just wish the powers that be had been smarter to begin with. I mean, i'm actually not in favor of any type of domain system that allows heiarchies. I'd much rather see something more like the telephone system. For instance, www.microsoft.b45, where, when you register, you get a letter and two numbers, assigned randomly, or something similar. That would allow more competition and, you know, greater diversity and stuff. It just pisses the hell out of me that I can't pick up a three or four letter domain name anymore. I think that anyone should get bushsucks as a domain name if they want it. How anarchistic.
OOoookay, buddy. I'm sure it was simply peachy back in the "good ol' days." Welcome to the digital age. Though your basement super-8s were probably of better quality than what these goobers are watching, I don't believe the movie industry is about to let the whole MP3-recording industry fiasco happen to them.
"Secure MP3? What kind of use is that for me? I cannot work with that."
That's great. It's real tough to work with. Okay, I understand that want to trade illegal mp3s over the internet. Hell, I do it. But if it all comes crashing down, don't complain. This isn't your music to own.
