We didn't want disney to do it's own network, we barely tolerate hulu which is consumer-antagonistic in its practices.
There's a reason a lot of us have deleted our facebook accounts, and that's because facebook does a piss poor job of managing its feed as-is. If you think this sort of gimmick will bring us back, you're wrong.
stop "other search engines" nonsense automatically adding every website search form I use to your collection of things you try to do on my behalf. Til you stop doing stupid shit in your apps, you have no business telling anyone else what to do.
your text paints like I'm on a 300 baud modem and the scroll buffer is unusable. Fix fundamental issues with the app, you can already get far better console apps like cmder for windows, you should worry about coming to usability parity before freaking colors.
This is one of the reasons I've stopped using google for a lot of things lately. I should have seen the writing on the wall when they forced us all to have google+ accounts, for a site I haven't looked at in I can't even tell you how long. I wish they'd split youtube off into its own separate entity again so I could kill all my google usage.
See, that implies that we don't have lower end engineers learning these skills that we've hired also, which is false, because we most certainly do. But the competition for these candidates is fierce, so we can't get people to do the work right now that needs to be done while we train them. Your ability to not grasp the obvious is astounding.
as someone who has a mix of both H1B and american workers under his care, I can tell you this: if you want high end technical labor, we simply DO NOT have enough qualified candidates here in the united states. We eat up EVERY SINGLE ONE that we can get our hands on that is an american citizen or has permanent resident status that is qualified when we have an opening, because going through the process of hiring high end candidates is time consuming and a drain on your resources. If you think we're paying the people with these visas garbage salaries either, you're wrong. We have rigorous interview processes and after 1 year of employment we work to make sure we keep that talent inside the country with an EB-2 green card application which we pay extra for to fast track. If you think you're qualified for one of these jobs that we have an open req for, please by all means apply.
And I'm sorry, doing tech support at best buy does not qualify you for a 200k/yr data scientist role. Unless you have a masters degree or are amazing enough to not require higher education (or have equiv job experience, that's fine too) then go ahead. I'm sorry but our universities just aren't putting out enough talent at this level that isn't already snatched up. It's a competitive market and even paying well we often have to go outside of the country to find qualified candidates (or to those already in the country who have H1-B visas and are authorized to work).
LET ME BE VERY CLEAR HERE: We are not talking about entry level positions. we are not talking about outsourcing your job to india. we're talking about someone with the background and knowledge to actually do the work that we need to do without spending years training them. This is what your google, facebook, microsoft, and yes, godaddy too, are trying to make sure is getting across to folks.
I guess I mostly found this movie entertaining because I went in expecting garbage, and was pleasantly surprised to find that unlike some other movies recently, there was a coherent plot, and the acting wasn't terrible.
I concur that it wasn't as good as first class or thor, but I still found it to be an enjoyable movie, not half as bad as everyone seems to make it out to be.
As someone who works at a company that sends a lot of email, we naturally have ways to opt out and to remove yourselves from our mailing lists. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between removing yourself from the list or unselecting preferences than doing the CAN-SPAM opt out.
IF YOU CAN AVOID IT - JUST UNSUBSCRIBE YOURSELF.
When you do the can-spam opt-out-never-mail-me-again, we're required to keep it on file. We're also required to send this list of email addresses to every agency that markets for us saying they're not allowed to contact you on our behalf.
Now, I want you to read that last paragraph again. They're not allowed to contact you on our behalf, but they can (and almost always will) send other mails to those accounts. This means, through no fault of their own, the place you're opting out from has just given your valid email address to a bunch of other marketing firms.
Now, we have agreements in place with all these other firms that market with us, yadda yadda, and we seed them with dummy addresses so we know who has used our list of opt-outs to spam folks - but the reality is that the damage once it is done is done. and once that list goes out once it goes out 1000 times.
So, do yourself a favor, filter your mail, don't use the don't contact me again ever opt-outs, but unsubscribe if you want. It really sucks, but the law actually makes it easier to spam you rather than harder.
actually - fake members on dating sites leads to bad user experience, which leads to nobody wanting to pay. I spend a lot of time and effort working on ways to track down and eliminate fake member accounts that are generated by bots going after the real users on the system. it's a giant pain in the ass.
actually, that is not true. in fact, X allocates pixmaps for drawing to the screen most of what you're displaying in firefox - many of which are in subwindows of the main firefox application. X is allocating memory for the application, in other words. if not freed properly (due to, say, potential bugs in this person's X server) this can, in fact, cause memory to leak that lasts beyond the termination of the actual application (firefox).
eplus was actually the precursor to the whole 'epplet' / etc stuff that we started working on around 0.15/0.16 - and the reason that we wanted to make stuff like that work. I know I ran ePlus for ages after it was 'unsupported' by you hacking various fixes for using updated versions of stuff like imlib
it did in fact look awesome:)
We always tried to come up with ways to make the performance run a little better. And you have to admit I did spend a lot of time cleaning it up where it didn't crash anymore;)
Yes, but I know what the sizes of what we serve are, and I know what our average traffic is going to be - since we're not a filesharing place, the bandwidth / session type averages out to be fairly constant (I don't have to worry about the 600 mb ISO images skewing our numbers)
We DO have visitor logging, we just don't use apache log files, and don't necessarily log every single action a user takes. And the site in particular I'm talking about runs at over 100 mbit/sec outbound traffic on slow days (considerably higher during peak traffic times on busy days).
I might take this up with the next generation of a system we're working on here potentially, if you guys don't have a problem - we have a workaround system going live shortly that does a certain amount of logging via syslog to dedicated syslog hosts (god bless syslog-ng) but we don't look at every pageview in order to lessen the load, we look at and log specific events (ones ripe for abuse - payments, signups, email, etc).
On larger sites, doing things like collecting / reading web site logs (like your apache log files) is completely unrealistic. We don't even have them turned on here anymore, because they generate so much disk i/o and flood so much disk space (each of our web heads when we last had logging enabled over a year ago produced over 8 gb of apache logs every day - multiply that times 30 and that's a hell of a log parse every single day...) - so we tend to gauge traffic more in megabits per second than anything else.
I am not saying that Alexa is good for looking at traffic trends either - their numbers vary WILDLY from what our actuals are. Oddly enough, Hitwise does a much better job, but I suspect that is a lot of blind luck on their part as I think they take data in a similar fashion.
I'm not sure I had a point, except that web logs aren't really feasible when your traffic crosses a threshold - I'm sure/. has similar logging problems.
you can, in fact, install third party applications. they will just be acquired through the itunes store instead of downloaded on your own. this doesnt' even mean they won't be free, as the itunes store has plenty of free stuff on it.
I know of several places with SDKs for the phone already.
This has nothing to do with his looks, this has everything to do with his words. I know I've already been marked as 'flamebait' by someone who apparrently didn't realize I've been writing free software and contributing for the last 15 years or so - that being said, RMS is a lunatic, and clearly does not speak for all of us who do actually care about writing free software.
The hysteria has died down a bit, but that doesn't mean it's accepted.
I won't release any code under GPLv3 - but then I haven't wanted to release code under the GPL since 98, when I actually started listening to what RMS was saying instead of what we all thought RMS was trying to say. The man's a lunatic.
Well - China has many interesting problems to solve of their own even beyond 'holding together as a nation' - for example their educational system is going to need a major overhaul. They may be progressing, but education-per-capita in China is still particularly abyssmal.
They have been making some interesting strides - and they have been adapting to new problems they face pretty rapidly. I'd say there is a good chance that they will become the primary global economic player within 100 years, if not sooner.
