That means moderately technically skilled people with good business/managerial training and generally good people (not necessarily sales- type) skills will have more opportunities than someone with strong technical skills and mediocre people/business skills.
This has always been the case, it's just now it's made more explicit by country boundaries.
For example, The Economist while not a scientific publication, has excellent scientific reporting. It is not written to be entertaining, simply to be informative, concise, and correct.
Besides, it's a great magazine to have lying up on your desk, half read;-)
ObjectStore is the biggest pile of crap. We had a project with a tight time frame, so we used an ObjectStore database to speed up the development. big big big mistake. Later on we re-wrote the persistence classes to be based on a relational database.
The database was a pile of junk. It has a 'garbage collector' of sorts, that runs through old objects, recovering the space. Only it didn't work, it just failed, no error message. Consultants from their company couldn't work out why not. And to make it more fun, you have to specify a "page size" of some description, which was limited to around a gigabyte. If the database got any bigger than this, the whole thing would come to a screaming halt, *never to come back again*. We had to re-write in sql, and then to a data migration against this rather real dead line. Nasty nasty nasty.
After all that, I doubt it actually gains that much development time. RDBMSs mightn't be the most tidy to deal with from OO, but at least everyone knows them and you don't have to learn and use someone's propriatery classes.
We learned our lesson with that one. Stay away from OO databases.
The one thing I have *never* understood about not being root to protect yourself against viruses is that I don't care about the system files I only care about my personal files.
How does not running as root protect me from that?
And not one person can see what is really going on here. This is Microsoft, eating away at the advantages of open source software. It used to be stability, but now Windows is at least as stable as anything else for the desktop.
Microsoft making changes to itself to make its programs secure and reliable should frighten you. How often to Microsoft fail at what they set out to do? Pretty soon, the only thing that free and open software will have is just that, free and open. Try explaining that to someone as a reason to use one piece of software over another.
I just implemented a complete, automated daily build for our app. Completely trashes the existing build, clean get from source control, build, run tests, package, deploy, configure and email the result to the team.
OK, so it's a java app with less than 100k of lines and it only takes about 20 min to do the full cycle, but it finds things before any developers do. It also runs the unit tests, automatically, every day. Once a test is written, it isn't even at the whim of the developers to run them, they actively protect the code, every day.
A complete clean and automated build is an essential part of software development. There is no such thing as overkill when you just get some leftover box to do it every day. Takes too long? just start the build earlier.
There is no way I will let the software head out under incremental compilation. No way whatsoever.
InputStream in = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().get Resource( "directory" );
then read the contents of the input stream. When the file you made a connection to is a directory (at least, Sun VM on windows), you get an HTML directory listing. Nerf. We had a security hole in our app for a while based on this.
The whole thing about 90% people using only 10% of the capability of Office is right on
This common misconception is responsible for uncounted number of software failures. The key thing is that those 90% each use a different 10%. Can you possible come up with a list of features that nobody uses? I use some rather esoteric ones in Word, but don't use ones other people use. The key is to have the functionality there, and make the software usable in the way you use it.
Microsoft's solution to this involves those menus that hide things you don't use. Not the best solution, but it works for some people.
I'm beginning to understand why you guys distrust your government so much. Nowhere else talks so much about privacy and liberty as you guys, but nobody else has a government trying so hard to take it away.
OK, bear with me. DirectX has been ported through WineX to various other platforms. This allows a performance advantage that no other CrossplatformGUItoolkits can possibly acheive.
With such a control over the hardware, you are allowed to bypass the XWindows system, which kills the performance in such desktop environments as KDE and Gnome. Painting directly to the hardware buffer, buttons and other widgets can be responsive in a unique way.
The only common manner across all major platforms, BSD, Linux, yes, even windows that you can do this is via DirectX. Compiled binaries can be ported cross platform due to the quality of the cross platform implementations.
Not only this, but the breadth of the system allows realtime multimedia eventing systems, such as audio responses to important system events. Platforms such as NT incur an inherent delay, but not when using directX.

Windows, Mac, Unix. I count three.

Linux is clearly the best solution. Now, tell me why!

Seriously, this is some kind of timewarp or something. CGI? People still use that? Holy heck.

Man do you have too much time on your hands.
Anyone else here got massively overworked and stressed while working towards HIMSS? Geeeeeeeeeeeeez. So glad the work for that is over.

Haven't you heard of windows scripting host? Geez man, give me a call when Linux is as scriptable as windows, I'll be waiting a while, methinks.
I've never understood milk in coffee either. You make it colder, and you detract from the taste. Coffee should just be coffee.
Even heard some coworkers discussing your site the other day.
Except for windows. It hasn't used the BSD TCP/IP stack in a really long time.
For the celebrity death match version to appear on eDonkey.
Dude, there's no gamma radiation coming out of that TV of yours.

For the love of god man, don't do it.
Is miles in advance of earlier versions of debuggers. Change code at runtime, you sexy beast.
You're quite wrong. Energy has a gravitational field. End of discussion.
