  7. It has to be on Gambas 1.0 Release Candidate Available · · Score: 2, Interesting


    Like it or not people, windows took off and allowed more programmers into Windows because of VB. Of course version 1 of VB sucked BIG TIME, but more and more apps were created and allowed new developers to move from DOS to windows. Linux does need a VB type of application, not saying it has to be a clone of it, but something that would allow the end user to create a app in a few minutes and not days.

    The lady that had the pleasure of being one of the first, is my wife's sisters Mother inlaw. We didn't know that had taken place until we were watching the news last night and saw here, at first it was 'man she looks like someone I've seen before" then when they subtitled her name it was all to clear :)

  12. Same here on Have Fujitsu Harddrives Been Failing in Record Numbers? · · Score: 1

    I had a 20gig and it failed about 1 yr later. It was fine for the first few minutes but once the PC was warmed up it would start to fail. Took it back to Fuji, they are just around the corner from me(Near Toronto) and swapped for another one, no questions asked. It was like the guy looked at the model and new what the problem is/was.

    There are TONS of DVB channels watchable. But you need a large Satellite Dish. In Europe it's mainly Ku sattellite band.

  19. Not me on It's Not About Lines of Code · · Score: 1


    The company I work for doesn't base my work on the LOC of code.
    This is how it works. But alittle background first. The company I work for creates billing/customer care software for cell phone comp's. The applications we have aren't out of the box. Each site is totally different.

    Anyways. First the customer requests a change or new feature, a impact assessment(IA) is created with what's going to be changed and if any possible problems with current functionallity.
    Once the Customer has reviewed the specs, they write off the IA and then it's my turn. I then review the IA, I then rewite a detail design document laying out what objects I'm going to change(btw the application I work on is done in Powerbuilder) size of labels/colors/datawindow.... Once thats done, then I write out Unit test cases in TestDirector(http://www-svca.mercuryinteractive.co m/products/testdirector/) based on the IA. Basicly this is based on the Detail design, so it's how i verify that the new label I added is in fact BOLD and in RED, it also verifies that I haven't forgotten anything. THEN it's off to writing the Application Test Cases, which is, once the application is compiled, of course to verify that everything the client wants is there.

    AFTER thats all done, then I code. So 3 weeks that was given to me for this project, 50-60 is writing out documentation(not like I enjoy writting documentation.) then it's off coding, which has been done already while creating the Detail Design. Then it's off testing Unit and Application test cases.

    97% of the time there are no bugs sent to the client and 99% what they asked for was added and working.
