I was handed a problem where SQL couldn't handle the parameters in code from a product that wrote code in a convoluted way. It took me two weeks to handle it, but the fix I eventually pushed out made sure that the issue would never happen again.
Despite the fix working for about ten years now, I never got an apology for being punished over the fix taking more than the nitwit manager saying it would take to fix.
If you want code teams to fix stuff right, make sure that the code guy is a manager. If you want someone to blow smoke up your ass and punish people that fix things promote suckup people that have no idea on how to code, or hire h1b's.
So it's a good thing that USA will never be under the International court of justice because that would violate the citizens of the United States inherit civil rights?
If it's not a good thing, then I'd posit that some treaties need to be re-examined and changed.
Yeah. Scripting - it's shut off unless needed. For me to enable any scripting I really do have to want the cheese.
I'd rather find another site before any scripting is enabled in my browsers - and to accentuate my level of paranoia - I stopped loading Adobe stuff 5 years ago.
They have these things called "Hard Drives" and they can "Store Data" and even made into a "Raid" that can help "Preserve Data".
I have to go look up how much I owe Dr. Evil for the use of the quotes but expecting the online storage to be private is like wishing that an ice cube will protect you from a nuke.
Every time I see a reminder about setting up a sms account, I go to support and raise a ticket, I explain that I have no sms phones and would like a phone number to discuss the issue.
they reply that they are unable to provide a phone number to resolve the issue - at which point I remind them that I am unable to provide them with an sms number, and then I again ask for a phone number to discuss the issue.
Yep. At no place in my resume did I list perl. If they wanted the same disaster they should fire me. I'm 100% with you on that.
They seem quite happy at my progress. Specially since I can actually do things without relying on silly things like having scheduled jobs and the stuff I coded already being much more efficient and faster might hinder me being fired.
Crazy talk, I know. Clinging to perl is the only right solution. Cause like, there's tons of perl people out there that can step right in and Grok it.
I recently got hired (july) and found out I was to learn perl to maintain their current infrastructure.
I'm 25% done with rewriting the infrastructure - and should be free of perl and autoit by this time next year.
Sorry, While I appreciate a fan base carrying stuff on - perl is just.. ick.
And the documentation - I looked online and say I could get documentation by just typing in dod, so I made the mistake of doing so, and page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page after page kept paging in the dos window before I three fingered the pc and rebooted.
Perl isn't my cup of tea. I can use it,code with it, fix it - but it's just an annoyance when I have to go into it. Not trying to flame it - just pointing out that there are other better documented languages that can be used.
People buy alarms for houses and cars and maintain them. People buy dogs and run out and get help training them.
Then there are the people that don't care about maintenance or learning how to maintain - and that's why a system that just restores factory fresh with the touch of a coupe of buttons is the best option for them.
Frankly, as having been the "go to" family member to fix this crap - after 20 years, I'm sorta glad that they just reset their stuff and leave me alone.
I don't like most of the over the top Dr Smith episodes, and despite everyone hating the carrot episode, it was amusing to and pretty cool to see Smith do the sublime thing.
The original show didn't contain Dr Smith , and I think it was a mistake to bring him in. He wanted to stay in the show and mutated the character into a buffoon- and that sorta limited the show. He wouldn't of been kept around if he was just plain evil - cause he would of been tossed off the ship.
The science behind the writing made me cringe. Going past the speed of light was possible when Smith traded off controls for things , but they routinely sailed thru galaxies and had to fear mobile supernovas. And for the first season, they sorta forgot about the orbit of the planet they were on.
So if they fixed it. Made it into a family survival thing without "oh the pain, the pain", kept some science in it, made sure to actually follow a plot (Think how awesome "Lost" would of been if they had a storyline predetermined), and kept the "make it cute for kids so they buy toys" out f it?
I think it would be an awesome show.
I do have all the DVDs for the original show - store-bought. So I am a fan.
There will be no blood, because nothing on a car ever fails - especially computers.
(frankly, I will be terrified when there are people texting while their 6 year old car is driving for them - my parents have a 2014 Cherokee latitude that's had 8 recalls)
I'm one of the folks that knew early on facebook was utter crap and has never had an account. They apparently can't tell the difference between me and my father who haunts facebook.
Just ran a credit check and all three of them have me on my parent's discovery card - of which I never had a discovery card - and in fact don't have any credit cards. Unless you count my debit card - which has no credit.
My fico is low - despite having no late payments to any bills over five years - own a vehicle, in 14 years I'll own my home.I have no other debt other than my mortgage.
I guess if you aren't shoveling cash into credit card providers profits, you aren't credit worthy?

The only difference between a ford focus and an e-85 focus is software (and badging).
So that's the example you are asking for.

Real life can provide big boobs. It's easy, just have a house and a paycheck - once that gets out big boobs flock to use and spend that.

Not trying to flame - not being a Jerk, just pointing out a disconnect at Google HQ.
What if one of those Female Entrepreneurs sold confederate merchandise in her "Bring Back the Dukes of Hazard" store?

Now if everyone did that,.....
So - I don't own a gun?
Funny. I thought I had a perfectly good .327 magnum. It's never killed.
Mind you, I've given it permission to go off and forage - never did take me up on it.
Huh. What about Shotguns? I have an 870 - guess that's not a gun either?

Agreed.
When you have to do flips to find ount something like
if ($foo ne "Email") fails when you read a line in because while it is Email only without the quotes, there' s something wrong.
And in strawberry, why can't you use say ? say is supposed to let you print without having to do \n.
Can we please add suicide as a third option?

Cars built around technology that supports diesel can drive mind boggling distances on a single tank.
I guess what is good for a consumer is bad for a taxer.
This was my very first kickstarter donation, and I joined at the 250 level for the mission patches.
I'm happy with three new shows, but it would be awesome for 12.
I'm thinking of Bumping up to 327 just for the signed poster.
I like the series.

Does anyone eat corn?
You might want to check out the history of corn, because it's been genetically engineered for centuries.
And, it's in a crap load of the food products you buy now - like that 1 dollar soda pop from Mc Donalds.
You are forgiven. :)

I think that we need to scrutinize election rules under the same constitutional lens we're using for gun laws.
We need to get away from the clinton's, bush's and future obama's and get actual presidential material into the white house.
That can't be done if the media and election laws shape only the rich and powerful to get elected.
You agreed to the EULA. This isn't under any radar - It's what you agreed to.
If we get rid of Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays from the school system, that's 4 days of time the testing could be shifted to.
It's easy enough to implement, Just identify the schools that struck the word "Christmas" and teach that Native Americans got screwed.
