I don't know what the sever software is written in. The client is the python. You can tell its not a standard windows program because of some of its bad behaviors.
As an elecrtical Engineer I should be able to fix a TV. Hell I can design them. Thats what I told myself when I opened the cabinet on my newly dead 26" color TV back in 1993. 1 year after I graduated. I began to examine it for any signs of badness. I saw the tube, and a hefty coard coming from it to a mother board. The cord connector was covered with a big rubber shield that looked a lot like a suction cup. I peeled that rubber back with my screwdriver and in doing so accidentally touched the now exposed wire. I was not concerned because the TV was unplugged.
That was the shock of my life. I fell on my ass. I was hoping I was not dead because nobody was around to revive me.
Actually its quite simple. You just have to do it yourself. So much these days is done by tools. And tools hardly ever create a proper software architecture. They mash everything together.
Windows threading is horrible. Just look that they had to release a whole version of windows (win95) just so you can do something while the printer is running.
I don't know how many times Adobe causes my whole browser to lock up. Its not just MS, so many companies are so lazy. None of my software ever locks up like that. I do have a masters in this stuff but really its not hard at all if someone is assigned to do it...
Any software architect should be able to handle it.
Of course this will be government mandated before it ever hits the streets. This is how the automotive companies work. In order to avoid lawsuit, the auto companies get the government to mandate the feature. So if its used against you or harms you in some way, you can only sue the government for the fact that its there.
I do write embedded software on communication devices and I still disagree with you. I do not have any hardware that is not controllable by the software. Furthermore, I do not have any hardware that lacks the ability to be put into a known state. That known state is typically reset. But its there and most developers use it rather than ignore the fact that the hardware is in an unknown state.
And this delicate timing is not so easy to screw. These critical communication portions of the software are not related the application portions. Not in my case. I assume not in any case that takes even the slightest pride in the code they write. Now if they are shipping the code out to Russia or China or India, etc. Then sure these things can happen. That is how MS Office sucks worse and worse since 97...
Did you mis-speak? CAD programs and slower and much more precise. I used to use them for wiring diagrams, but Visio was much quicker. Especially in copy, paste type of replication operations. And the accuracy of CAD is far to high for something that is not really representative of anything to be built.
Wow that is a really dumb story. Money already contains trackable serial numbers. If the government wasted money buying super small RFID tags, and also upgrading its printing technology just to put tags in money that is already individually marked, it would be a huge scandal. Not a privacy one since money is already completely trackable. But because of the huge waste of money.
IT is full of shit. I can see me telling my Boss "I dont write software for freescale micros" I only support ST micros. I would be fires so quick.
How can IT think it can tell us what software it does and does not support? And they when they don't support it they can provide no alternatives...
My company uses lots of software tools to do our jobs. They are not MS certified so these idiots can never backup a computer right because all they do is the MS backup job of copying registry and MyDocuments folder.
Sure, the department head should be fired. IT should support departments, not specific software packages.
Vastly superior? I suppose next you will express how slow Java is..NET uses the age old MS strategy of wrapping existing technology in new packages. Then auto configuring everything in the name of convenience. Leaving you guessing as to how to configure it yourself.
If you can't see that...
Furthermore, Java has a "magic" directory too. You lack expertise on this subject.
Christian "culture" sends them to heaven or hell. You won't find this notion in the Bible though. Islam is not much different according to my Muslim friends. Some of this stuff is meant for the consumption of a specific group of people. The rest of us are supposed to know better.
"That statement carries the absurd assumption that some people don't want democracy. EVERYONE wants democracy, apart from the small group of people who currently have control, of course. But the majority of the population will ALWAYS support democracy AND self-determination."
That is completely absurd. In the US conservatives are generally not after democracy. They want the rest of the country to live under rules they choose. That is not self-determination.
Most people's views on government is tied strongly to their beliefs and values which is tied to their religion. Democracy is not a common theme in world religions.
Apple sells elitist products. Such a product likes to be in lower quantities in the market than in larger quantities. So Apple would like that. ATT gets early adopters dying to be in the 'in' crowd. But of course ATT would have to pay Apple a hefty price for that exclusivity.
So I doubt if Apple cares too much, if they did you can bet they would have locked it up better. But ATT will be pissed since they paid apple for exclusivity and its slipping away already. Well actually depends on how complicated the unlock is. And how cheap they are selling it for.
Honestly, selling the unlock has to be illegal in so many ways.
Your smoking issue still misses the point. States are against smoking not because of its medical effects on non-smokers, but because of its financial effects on the states budget when the state has to take care of sick smokers.
Libertarians get around this by simply not taking care of sick smokers.
That must have been speculation or a SWAG from the poster to suggest it could be used to accelerate Java and/or.NET. There is nothing special about java or net that would allow this optimization. Both run on top of the OS and not on top of the hardware. So if the OS provided similar information about its routines, then that could be used. As it stands, the only thing to accelerate Java or.NET (both of which are c/c++ programs) is something that would accelerate any c/c++ program running on top of an OS.
Thats good. SO if video cards put dx10.1 compatible on their box, then they can not show rediculous speeds which correspond to running a dx10 card with all real features turned off.
Seems like more a move of politics than anything, and a good one I think.
I think you are correct. If you hire fewer more valuable people, then what do you need management for in the first place?
You only need management when there is non-technical work to be done which comes from having too many people working on the same project so they cant or don't have time to solve those problems themselves.
I have a strong feeling I will never upgrade to windows Vista. Only thing I need windows for is playing Eve-online. If they force me, i will let them know their game is costing me $200+ which will piss me off.
I can't believe 'home' editions can not fax or scan. must be a misprint. Surely since MS is trying to be all 'lifestyles' like everyone else these days. and scan is no different from camera.
I am more cynical. I think MS can manipulate the figures of so-called 'pirated' copies of windows by adjusting the sensitivity of their WGA tool. This can make it look like more people are "pirating" or their security measures are successful. Whatever they desire.

I don't open TVs anymore.
Eve is written in stackless Python. So its not as windows dependent as one might think.
It is fully answered to be fully illegal.
Yes, T-Mobile does this. And text messages cost more than a phone call to express the same info. Obviously a text message is 1000s of times less data.

Yes airbags were done the same way.
Not necessarily. Sometimes legal instructs that certain things should not be tested, as policy.

Doubt it since java threads will use the threading library of the OS the VM is running on. Unless you are talking some form of embedded Java.
Perhaps he was intentionally lazy. Perhaps someone above him told him to change it. And so he complied. Civil disobedience?
