I just had my first real duck last weekend (as in not the stuff at a local chinese joint). It was good but I thought it was too rich. I almost felt sick after eating it. Maybe some day I'll feel like I an afford more exotic little birdies:o)
That would be me:o)
OS X at work, Debian and XP at home. I'm used to using the classic interface with windows and as such it seems pointless to do otherwise. I haven't found an innovative feature that I'm missing. As a matter of fact, XP irritates me more than it doesn't. I really should tweak the UI settings since it's usually the notifications that tick me off.
send me an email. I was in the same shoes you are. I moved to Prague. The economy here is booming and the women are gorgeous. I can get you a job that will get you the experience you need to move forward with your life. It won't be dream pay, since the cost of living is much lower here. Send me your phone number if you want. I'll give you call. Good luck:o)
I remember reading in the past that the max speed of a CD is actually 12x before you get the mentioned anomalies. Faster speeds are achieved with multiple read heads and buffering.
Night vision can most likely be had by putting an infrared light source near by. Most CCIDs detect infrared just fine. This is how most consumer night-vision systems work; they splash the area with infrared. You can test it out with any remote control:o)
Adobe has no incentive to not sell to x86 Mac users. They have already ported their applications to Windows. This means that any expensive optimizations that are specific to the architecture have already been made. Since the majority of the cost of entry has already been fronted by Adobe, they would be all but stupid to not finish the transition as soon as possible. They don't need to establish a new codebase and they get more customers.
I can't say I disagree with you. We live an unfortunate reality. I've had a lot of fun with my English recently. After living in Prague for a while I started picking up all of their mistakes and oftentimes I doubt myself:o)
Unfortunately, you were only looking for evidence to refute me rather than taking the whole issue into context. Your initial statement was No, it is. Using an apostrophe to pluralize nouns is incorrect and I have no idea why people do it. Yes, this means that things like "CD's" are wrong. Here, you are saying that, no matter what, in all cases, pluralization with an apostrophe is wrong. The first article, here, directly states conditions where it is acceptable to use an apostrophe for pluralization. Consider this line, not more than a few lines below where you cited. The only time we accept an 's is when the acronym is separated with
periods. For example, Ph.D.'s." So, as you can see, your all encompasing case is wrong. Additionally, you make the mistake of believing that language is static and what is in the books must be correct. We could be in the middle of a change and the next generation's books would say the exact opposite. A language is defined by its users, not some group of scholars.
so we have a mature technology being applied to a new sector. this has the opportunity to save a lot of us money and also the effort required to keep a pilot going. the question is, will it be offered at a fair price?
to be honest with you, i've been here for two years and i still barely speak czech. it can be frustrating but it's just not required in prague. most companies are doing international work and so they require english skills. czech just makes it easier to communicate with your co-workers. many times, official company policies say that everything should be done in english.
to answer your question directly, if you study and actually use the language (neither of which i do), you can be FULLY communicative within a year.
why have you been told not to move? that sounds like the dumbest thing i have ever heard. you can't expect the jobs to come to you.
let me know if you'd like my help. i can set you up with people who can help you find a place to stay and maybe even be able to get you a job directly. the visa process is a pain in the ass but they won't reject anyone with an education because the employee demand is so high.
hey man, i was in the same boat as you two years ago. don't worry about the loans for now; just get somewhere and get some experience. i moved to prague. the economy here is great and there is a constant demand for developers. i'm returning to the US for a while but i can put you in contact with people here that can help you. don't expect much money (i don't make much more than 1000USD per month rigth now), but you'll set the foundation for a future career wherever you choose to be.
where is hp's example of following said request? if it exists, i'd like to know about it. if they aren't following their own advice/request then they are just stabbing IBM/Sun in a hope of gaining our faith and stealing market share.
But for almost all cases, laptops are a waste of money. I wouldn't buy my kid a laptop and if he or she decided they had the money for one, I would severely discourage them from buying one. Having a computer at the desk is more than sufficient and at least three times less expensive. You need to find reasons to not get a computer. The real reasons for a laptop are few and far between.
How Not to Programm in C++ by Steve Oualline is a book of puzzles for both C and C++. The book starts ultra simple and gets more complicated as it goes. I've had fun with it. Amazon doesn't have it new but here are reviews and prices from $1.48 used:o) How Not to Program in C++
Cale: I'll call it planet Bob.
Akima: You can't call a planet "Bob."
Cale: So now you're the boss. You're the King of Bob?
Akima: Can't we just call it "Earth"?
Cale: No one said you have to live on Bob.
Akima: I'm never calling it that. Titan AE

Welcome to the modern dark-ages: kings, nobles, and pheasants all over again.
I've never had pheasant before. Is it really that bad?
Dude, who wants to really admit they are from the Lima area?? Good ole Ada.... I ever so slightly miss thee :o)
That would be me :o)

because Microsoft hasn't added much in so long.

But if you read the conditions for the korean developers then it seems to translate pretty much as, we ownerz you

In the gaming section, I prefer, "All your base are belong to us."

Of course, it also doesn't mean that a Jaguar is better than a Ford!
:o)
Jaguars are Fords

Sorry buddy but you're wrong. I don't like it but it's accepted. See here
Compliments of a quick google of 'pluralizing abbreviations.'
