Presumably the user has already clicked through any cryptic (or concise for that matter) error messages anyway so the data should have been collected along with any tracing that is needed. Should the users also remember the exact sequence of the last 15 commands and what appeared on the screen to recite back? This guy is asking for ways to make the users remember what his silly error messages were. Not their job. Anything worth putting on the screen is worth logging. Log files are easily read back or emailed. You shouldn't rely on memory.
Stop pushing the inadequacies of the program on the users. If you come across the error, then log it. Why are you relying on a person to sit there and read back to you something that could just as easily be written to a file that they could send to you or read directly.
Agreed. Brakes on virtually every car are more then sufficient to stop most cars even with the accelerator pressed. For GM only the Corvette and Cadillac cts have need for such a system. This comes down to bad driving at first, and now people looking for an opportunity to make some cash.
I know they were figured to lose a ton of money, but to be honest the US is doing exceedingly well this time around and generating a bit of buzz. Keep in mind that a lot of what they will get paid by sponsors is tied to viewership ratings. I suspect it won't nearly be close to the $200M loss they were talking about a week before the game.
I know it's hard to believe, but the invention of the combustion engine didn't cause us all to suffocate from lack of O2. You've both over thought and under understood the issue. Remember, most power comes from combustion, which requires O2.
The people of CA should be thrilled that while their taxes go up and state employees get furloughed they are helping to fund the energy usage of companies making huge profits. Just pointing out that tax breaks and incentives don't come from leprechauns and the end of the rainbow.
We're also assuming that the cost given hasn't already taken that into account. This article is pure marketing, you can expect them to use every trick in the book.
Because some sort of virtual pointer that appears in a flash app is just way too crazy of an idea to work. I can tell why this guy is a flash developer and not a real one.
Are we really doing kids a favor by asking them to grow up that much sooner? Because 35+ years of having to work every day isn't enough lets add another 2 years on top of that. There's more to life than working, and for 99% of the people school is just preparing you to work.
How is this insightful? There are scores of things that would fall under this category. Killing kittens, having sex with his mother, watching WWE come to mind. Privacy rights have no bearing on whether something is appropriate or not. Only on whether the evidence is usable or not. Which obviously in this case it isn't. What he did has no bearing on the case, which is why it isn't talked about.
Opening the windows hardly seems like an ideal thing to do. The tiltable easy clean windows may have sounded like a great idea but really aren't all that practical.
Errr...there are tons of natural gas tankers. There was talk of building a whole new terminal for them to dock on the long island sound. And the mayor of Boston was just throwing a hissy fit over one from Qatar being allowed into Boston harbor when when the imminent threat of terror within 6 months was still in the news.
Some but not all. Whirlpool still makes the lions share for them and there probably isn't an actual appliance manufacturer around that doesn't rebrand something as Kenmore for Sears. Of course all this makes this article even more lame than it already is.
Your Kenmore dishwasher is really a Whirlpool and Kirkland jeans are Wranglers. This is news how? Are we supposed to be impressed by this guys over analysis of what everybody already knew went on?
Explain to me how many of said 1000 employees have created a company that employs thousands. Say what you want about CEOs stepping into a job that already existed, this is not the case here. Because of this guy 1000s of jobs and probably $ billions have been paid out to employees in salary. Yes people are losing their jobs, and that sucks. But there are a hell of a lot more people who retired and are doing so happily after working at Sun for a good chunk of their careers.
Let's compare the total money he has been paid in 20+ years to the total salary that Sun has paid out to all it's employees and shareholder dividends before you decide the compensation is lop sided. Say what you want, this article is sour grapes.
They are free to do what they want. I don't imply otherwise. That doesn't make them any less assholes for doing it. I don't however appreciate their dishonesty in their reasonings. They are turning a selfish act and spinning it to be selfishless.
I don't care so much about SS. It's capped anyway, and to within a hand grenades throw you pretty much take out only what you put in.
However, what I don't agree with is them taking $1 and for the most part dodging an income tax. They aren't doing it to save jobs, like the CEO of Vale or Aspen or one of those who did the same thing. For these guys its all PR. The company can afford to pay them. And should. Instead it pays less taxes on that money than if it were on a personal income. All of the things that you and me pay for they are getting for free, or at a lower rate because they have the ability to be compensated in ways that have lower tax rates. It's good to know these guys have policemen and firemen protecting their millions in assets for free. It's good to know that the fighter jets that will protect them from the Chinese were not funded at all by these bozos (yes, a bit of tongue in cheek there but you get the point). These guys are dodging their civic duties for good PR and nothing more.
What they should do is take hte salary and contrinute 100% of it to the national debt, or other charity.

We need more grant money or we'll have to get real jobs.

It's not about the cost of what you have to shoot down but what you have to defend.

You'd still have nothing, Google didn't exist yet. Apple is probably a better example :)

I tend to find that those who claim a certain maturity level are often the least mature.

They key to every massive engineering effort is making sure you can do your model fly throughs form your cad drawings. You'd be sunk without them.

It's almost as pathetic as the idiots who assume heat engine == combustion engine.
