Code headers are nice, but if code is properly written and structured they can be overkill and clutter, so I don't see them as mandatory in all cases. Otherwise, I like this:D. Divide your code into separate source files using logical divisions that make sense. Then create libraries if one of the divisions gets big enough. Try to emphasize reuse.
I think re-usability and properly formed and conceived libraries and classes if it's object oriented should be in there. I've seen plenty of people meet all 8 of those requirements, but have all their code in one giant file that really should be divided up into separate logical pieces that could be used again in other projects.
On the other hand a password that's so complicated that you have to write it down is actually less secure. Also, if you forget it, it's just useless, So, there's a balance.
I'm no fan of IBM, but SCO will just burn through that $5 billion and do nothing good with it. Their time is over. If they had any chance at producing a good product, they would have a long time ago. Just let them die. Sorry.
You're insane. This has been a problem in the USA long before ACA. Insurance companies want pills because they're cheaper than long term care. ACA is, in fact, a step towards fixing that, but it's capitalism out of control and insurance companies that created the problem.
My problem isn't seeing ahead by quite a few moves. I, actually, am quite skilled at that, I can look well ahead of the current turn, figure out what the best possible strategy would be in my current situation, and do it fairly quickly. My issue is a bit different. It seems that the game itself is, actually, extremely boring, and when I start thinking about something more interesting - like porn, or popcorn - I manage to completely forget all those moves I foresaw so brilliantly, and make the absolute worst possible move I could have made instead. Then the game ends quicker, and I can go make some popcorn and watch porn. Which isn't so bad, really, in the end.
Well, this is how the internet has been run from the beginning. They have, simply, decided not to change that. If you want to see the results of this, just look back over the past 20 years. Removing Net Neutrality would have been the change.
Your friend could be lying. It's easy to blame other things for your failures. He could have quit when he realized, for example. I'm sorry, but pot isn't tremendously addictive, and even if it were people quit addictive things every day. The truth is that your friend didn't want to graduate. He should get his ged if he regrets it, and start doing what he has to to be more productive. My guess is that he doesn't want to, and if he couldn't blame pot he would blame something else. I think people should be free to do what they want if it doesn't hurt anyone. And I think that it's the people trying to steal our freedoms by publishing falsified or poorly executed scientific data that are the real problem.
Correllation, also, doesn't equal causation. What percentage of kids flunking out of school start smoking pot because they now have extra free time to do so?
No, it can't. Dosing alcohol is difficult. The pharmacology of the drug is very unpredictable. Alcohol is very addictive to a significant portion of society as well. It is worse, in every way, than marijuana.
Couldn't Intel do a phased shift to a different ISA, and leave people to run older code in emulators? Different OS' would have to build in emulators, but it would probably work. Force compilers to start outputting new code withe the new isa. It wouldn't be different than the x64 move... When it would have made the most sense to replace x86...
If you have the skills to work on the linux kernel legitimately, you don't really need to pad your CV. You'll very rapidly have more work than you want.
It's harsh coding. I was going to work on microkernel code once for the HPUX linux port. Just getting familiar with everything is a bit of a project. You have to really want to do it. I love low level coding, too. I, just, always find myself doing other things. That said, finding work is easy enough that I don't need to kernel hack to make money, and I have yet to run into a serious Kernel issue that stops me from doing something I want to do. Honestly, though, these guys doing the kernel hacking are good enough that finding work isn't an issue.
These are not the actions of a company that is going to be able to produce anything resembling a good show that does these books justice. These are the actions of low life scam artists, and they are not going to give up the rights to the book. This means that us, the fans, have been screwed over as well. By a shit legal system and shit laws. Look what happened to Anne Rice... Not as bad, at all, but bad enough. The whole selling movie rights thing is a gimmick, with scum buying up the rights to great works, having no intention of ever doing anything but milk them for whatever they can and never actually producing anything worthwhile from them. It's disgusting.
In the end, she has to choose between a settlement and attorney fees, right? I mean, unless she gets lucky and the judge forces them to pay them, she's kinda screwed. I can imagine they might be doing this for publicity. More people watched that trailer with their shitty ads in it than would have otherwise. So they are making a lot of money right now off a 4 day shit production, with the possibility of getting more in this case.
They hobbled together a piece of crap in 4 days, then sue everyone and their brother for silly nonsense. This isn't unusual behavior. I've seen this kind of thing happen in the video game industry. They are either A. milking this for publicity. Or B. trying to recoup as much of their investment as possible while doing as little work as possible. Probably both.
Basically, they are not responding to something she did. They will sue anyone they think they can sue and possibly get a penny out of not matter what. Your perspective is off. Their lawyers are purposefully farming money.
This nonsense didn't work for dialup, and it won't work here. In the end AT&T will lose, and be forced to provide full service for $70 if they do that. They will have to be much more sneaky about how they place and manage their ads. I don't know how they will do it. Unless they just outright sell the information to advertisers who will use it how they want. I don't know. This is how all the big dial up providers tried to do things, though, when shit started going south because of cable/dsl. I mean, legitimately, cable and phone aren't long for this world. These companies have to be in panic mode right now. In 10 years we might be sitting around saying - remember AT&T? They were big once, right? Yeah... For those of us on this side, we can't wait for them to die - we already see them as dinosaurs, but they have a shit ton of money and executives who don't want to lose their 6 or 7 figure salaries quite yet:/.

Well, the conservative party here is pretty much built on US propaganda, so much of it is US influence in itself. Pretty upsetting.

Please, PLEASE, put noobs like this in charge of important stuff we want to hack... PLEASE. Just sayin'

Wait until they pass bill C-51 behind our backs... It gets much worse.
I don't have a problem until you get to the extortion part.

Considering that Net Neutrality is how the internet was run from day 1, I don't think there will be a problem.

Makes sense. That was when AMD was best and fastest.

I think this guy should actually be forced to use some of the pcs the government uses. I think most of them are probably still running Windows ME.

You're the dense one. This isn't a new tactic. They, most likely, planned to sue before they ever aired the pilot.
