Yeah - sorry dice - dressing pretty to become a boss just shows how stupid people who want to be bosses are.
And that's why competent people hate them.
Clothing does not reflect ability. I'm quite sure I can code far better naked than someone who thinks spend two or three grand on an Armani overhaul can.
Why are we trying to stamp out technology like a hud for driving, but not demanding that any nitwit that thinks they can use their smartphone and drive shot?
It's a good marketing move - most people just download the free version and scan. Problems fixed so they won't buy it for the bells and whistles - now they'll get lots of people to try the bells and whistles and might retain future revenue.
It's better than them canceling the free version and make it pay only for revenue.
Just asking honestly - when people are driven from their lands from 1920 to 1948 and lose everything, and in my case lose an uncle to drowning and another uncle sent to siberia - and have a portion of my family deported to australia during that time - I'm asking an honest question as a first generation American.
How does my family get everything back in Lithuania? Why do the people protesting a telescope refuse to care about my families plight, and with that asked and answered - why should I care about theirs?
My grandparents were forced from their lands - had to flee to america or be deported to Siberia.
Can you tell me how to regain my ancestors homes and religious areas? Can you also explain why you never cared about my ancestors, and why I should care about yours?
From my experience single programming with quality co-workers that you can interact with is the way to go.
Once they started scrum - progress slammed to a halt at the last big company I worked at. I have no idea why they blame programmers for excel spreadsheet failures that were timelined by project managers.
If I was lazy, I would love to have one person at a keyboard and happily chirp with the rest of the crowd on how to process a variable. I don't understand how that actually saves money - anyone with spreadsheet skills, can you show me?
Then search engines and shops banning stuff having the confederate flag or containing the word nigger are definitely in the right!
That being said - I'm missing where all of the bandwagon jumpers are blocking rap lyrics - or anything to do with the word nigger.
If we accept Confederate Flag is racist or hurtful to some people and embrace the block, then we must also accept that the failure to do the same with the word nigger means is not racist or hurtful when used and therefore should be allowed and embraced.
That being said - I just changed all of my devices to duckduckgo for a search engine. I do believe that the same amount of hatred directed at the confederate flag should be directed at people calling other people niggers.
I apologize for using the word nigger - but if you sit down and think about it - google is actually being racist.
If you're thinking about being a pilot and flying helicopters for a living, you might want to rethink your investment in your future.
Major corporations want to stop paying for that - and the needed construction/hospital/fire jobs will be stacked with folks that have experience and migrating to that because of losing their jobs to joystick flying 401 bs in India.
We fly drones in the United States that are in Iraq and Afghanistan - Allstate and others will similarly offset all drone flying to other countries.
So If I am trying to fix a an old computer I won't actually see a fix immediately because the fix might be on a snitz forums 2000 that will never ever be on a mobile phone.
...ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!
Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
I guess the United States is ahead of the world when it comes to the freedom to speak.
It's a bit shocking that other governments need to make sure that everyone is politically correct and doesn't bully people, and are forced to accept other peoples opinions without being able to actually address them.
My Mom once told me that if I swim in the sewer, , I'll start to smell like it.
If a person considers a site to be bad - stop swimming in that sewer.
The last four vehicles I owned - Escort zx-2 that one had a check engine light come on from a faulty sensor in the first ten thousand miles. Nissan pickup - that one after two years started stalling and stopping on damp days because of a fuel sensor, my mercury sable had a sensor break in the first 5000 miles - when the check engine light popped on , I pulled into the dealership at closing time and forced them to fix it. I have a jeep wrangler now, and whenever the outside temp goes over 89 degrees f and I turn the air conditioning on, the car shudders and jerkes then the check engine light pops on with a low speed idle fault in the OBD (finally bought an obd kit to clear faults to pass inspection).
The point is, I've owned 4 brand new cars, and each car had faults.
How can anyone expect that the car driving itself won't fault and cause cataclysmic accidents? maybe 100,000 cars will be perfect. Maybe a 1,000,000 cars will be perfect. But based on my experience - I'll be freaking terrified if everyone else has self driving cars.
He and his wife went on a two week company paid "business trip" to Monte Carlo in Monaco - the room they stayed in was over 500 bucks a night (paid airfare +per Diem). This was for their top 1000 agents plus the allstate corporate folks.
For the "business meetings" they had a few seminars to attend, and a party night - I forget which star they had perform that time - but since they do this yearly - one of the stars was Huey Lewis.
So think about the cost of that yearly party just for allstate - and think about how much cash is spent on them - then come back and talk about "collective cushion".
I will stop paying for netflix when it's not ad free viewing.
Ads are meant to pay for shows. I should not be forced to pay to watch ads.
We cut the cord because of ads - not because we're willing to pay for ad free content. If comcast served up all of its content adfree - I'd jump right into comcast.
Nah, send them to the southside of chicago where almost 900 people have been shot, and soon to be a movie about "chiraq" because of the egregious amounts of black on black violence to the tune of 2800.
I'm hoping the people marching against cops will start marching in chicago after the recent shooting of a 4 year old - she caught a round in the head. Pretty sure she wasn't in a gang or deserving of the shot.
I live in the southside and hear the gunfire occasionally.
The motorola Quantico or the kyocera dura XT are the dumbphones I've carried - I like riding my motorcycle year round - phones like those can take shock, water, being thrown against a wall and still work.
I've owned both and while I liked the Quantico better - US Cellular moved out of my region so I was forced to the dura XT on Sprint.
This is the reason why I never played any online games with blizzard.
As an adult, I can't spend the time required to see everything. I have to actually work and sleep.
I agree with them locking out people who cheat while playing online players. I disagree venomously with them locking out non online players for using all codes and hacks to play. They bought the game - if they want to be invulnerable during all phases of the game - then it should be allowed in single play.
It's unfortunate that the major game companies started focusing on metrics and statistics. If they just focused on making good games that were free from bowing to the company their profits would increase.
Every American job they fire - is one less American's family income for Disney.
(that includes DVD's and theater and toys and well pretty much anything, but I'm sure the lower payed H1B's will pick up the slack and make more profit!!!)
Slashdot Mirror
I'm on 10166 but when I try to launch Visual Studio I get a bad install warning on some of the choices to start it.
I loaded Steam and tried defense grid 2 but the video drivers aren't working properly.
Start up and surfing is faster than Ubuntu 14 was on the laptop - so that was an eye opener.
I hate that windows is moving to type it to find it, I prefer list it and click it.
I don't want to remember what what I need to use. I want the list of stuff so I can find what I need to use.
As soon as I saw the Picture of the spots, it reminded me of when Jupiter got hit by Shoemaker-Levy.
It's the simplest explanation in my opinion.
Yeah - sorry dice - dressing pretty to become a boss just shows how stupid people who want to be bosses are.

And if I want the fix on the smartphopne so I can see the code to type into my pc?
Yeah...
Google has explicitly said that they weigh search results to focus on sites that are friendly to smart phones.

I don't get the rant.
What I got from the article is they want to offload computing to peoples hand held devices.
Which is stupid. Why should anyone burn up their data limit for shared computing?
I still don't understand the hype for them.
The last four vehicles I owned - Escort zx-2 that one had a check engine light come on from a faulty sensor in the first ten thousand miles.

I worked for an Allstate agent.
He and his wife went on a two week company paid "business trip" to Monte Carlo in Monaco - the room they stayed in was over 500 bucks a night (paid airfare +per Diem). This was for their top 1000 agents plus the allstate corporate folks.

I have to agree, the only thing Obama has done was make Carter the second worst president in my lifetime.
Same here. I pay Netflix for ad free viewing.
I will stop paying for netflix when it's not ad free viewing.

We cut the cord because of ads - not because we're willing to pay for ad free content. If comcast served up all of its content adfree - I'd jump right into comcast.
It's that simple.
Free TV can have ads.
Commercial free tv can charge for content.
This is what the consumer wants.

Here's the latest atrocity

But yeah - the best efforts are focused on the occasional cop bit. Cause there's thousands of those (well not really - but it takes the sting out eh?)
