Agreed. I would take that as a sign that it was not a place I would want to work at. I mean, it's a bit better than asking for VB, but not by much.
If I did bother to respond, I think I would respond by using replace(). It's more efficient because it exists and does exactly what is required. My comment would be longer than the code.
No, we like criticizing the notion that adding "on a computer" to an existing idea somehow makes it a new idea worthy of ownership/patent/suing for infringement. We are not against the notion of doing things on a computer in and of itself. We consider that to be an improvement upon an existing idea, generally to help avoid mistakes and make existing systems more efficient.
Our issue with the patent of such ideas is it causes stagnation and prevents us from continuing to improve systems and make them more efficient.
Agreed. And in the spirit of K.I.S.S., I'd suggest you use external storage like a drobo. You can grow the disk as you see fit, no technical expertise needed. Just add/swap drives as you go. Braindead simple.
No, I don't work for them, but for simple self-maintaining medium sized storage they work pretty well. I've got 4 (3 at work, one at home), and the only problem I've had was when I put a bad WD drive in a unit and it fried the slot.
I think Google should impose a fee to said studios for making bogus takedown requests. After all it's not free for Google to comply with these requests, and if the studios aren't even willing to validate them perhaps they should be billed for the time it takes to do so.
No, poster is correct. It's called winsorising. It's common to toss out the top and bottom 5% just to discount anomalies.
But you don't discount it after you see the data because you don't like it, you plan to discount it before you collect the data and more importantly you do it indiscriminately and equally on both sides of the data set. Not just points you don't like after you see the data.
Maybe you missed the part where they said "looking forward to not trucking my laptop around everywhere"
A cell phone fits in the pocket. A tablet does not. He'd just be lugging around something lighter. I believe his goal is to not be lugging anything extra around.
As a 45 year old working in the industry, my first thought is find yourself a nice quiet place to cry.
But honestly if you can do it move to management. If you've got a proven track record in the field, you've got a good chance at being one of those magic managers who actually can manage programmers (it's like herding cats). They won't respect you of course, but at least you'll be able to communicate with them which is huge.
And the IT managers I know make decent money.
Personally, I'm too much of a BOFH to go that route.

alert("Please enter a valid Email Address.");
return false;
} }
I use one of these. It's been working well for me for about 5 years now. It gives them a message more polite than I would and then hangs up.
I don't work for them or anything, I'm sure you could hack together a similar device, but the dumb thing just works. Only drawback is you need to be at the phone where you plugged it in, or buy one for each phone.
Slashdot Mirror
mod parent up.
What makes you think he'd only sell it once?
we've finally discovered dehydrated water?
Overall, I'd say the patent examiners did their job just fine. A patent isn't guaranteed to work.
Exactly. It's a perfectly cromulent idea.
*sigh*
by using reverse().
What a stupid test.

No kidding. I read that summary as "Hey, we've found these systems that are really working well and so we were thinking we'd like to change that".
It's working JUST FINE- bugger off.
I just hope they don't make Samsung post an apology on their website.
I'm sure he has stacks of books, whey not get him a nice bookshelf coffin?
I've always loved this idea. Doubt it would ship by Christmas though.

Is that what we call a blow job?
Yes, that would probably be an effective way to blow your job.

All those words about tower defense games and you miss the most popular one out there?
Free demo is available for this one too.
This is why we don't let you write headlines.
They should have just tied a slice of buttered bread to it's back.
Close. It'll be Wonder Woman.

Maybe we're just looking at the new cold war.
I'd say China's gonna take this one.
