The problem isn't applying patches. The problems occur when applying the patch causes a mission critical application, or a very critical application to the end user to stop working. The end result is the IT department ends up fielding a ton of phone calls from irate users, and / or getting blamed for the patch, even if they have nothing to do with it.
It is no wonder IT departments are always behind on getting patches rolled out. They need / want to test them.
And if an individual or department have some sort of 3rd party software that is not well defined and IT does not know about, there is no guarantee that they include it in testing.
Basically, patching is strongly needed. But end users get incredibly leery when patching the blasted stuff breaks the application, especially when the patch does not address the end user's prioritization of problems.
Wouldn't spending time / money / research into advanced forms of energy be useful?
Wouldn't finding ways to improve fuel efficiency be beneficial?
My point isn't that we need to do this because of environmental concerns. My point is that excluding extraneous noise, how we utilize energy impacts how we evolve technologically?
I'm not limiting fuel efficiency to vehicles, but also home heating, and everything else that uses a form of energy.
And if the end result would be beneficial to the environment, whoo-hoo, kill two birds with one stone.
I found that once I started using the scroll wheel to cycle through the different ribbons I became less annoyed with the increased menu clicks. I still prefer keyboard shortcuts.
Just being a wise a$$. But what authority does a pimply faced sales clerk have to seize and hold a potentially stolen device? Much less detain an individual while waiting for the Police.
Some people would threaten to sue for defamation and etc for being accused of having stolen a product.
10k names is a small number to search against. Takes seconds on a properly implemented and maintained db and app.
My point is that the TSA doesn't give a rats arse how many people on the list there are. They would be just as happy if there were 100k, even if it meant there 95% false positives. It would just mean more justification for their existence.
Never assume a bureaucratic organization will always exist for the sake of the people. It eventually evolves to the point where its existence is its existence.
Plants need electrolytes because plants need electrolytes.
My overused response to a lot of questions is: Unask the question.
You've got a lot of technical and lead and coordination and probably management skills you've developed. So instead of asking where should you go next, ask what do you enjoy the most?
It may be that you do want the challenge of a lead architect position, in which case you might be looking for a startup company. I have no idea how people get to that level. Some are bottom up evolution, and some are top down revolution type people.
It may be that you want the joys of integration or release management, or something along those lines.
Basically, in a nutshell, ask yourself what makes you happiest and pursue that. Worst case scenario, you've wasted a few months. Best case scenario, you grow into a beautiful butterfly...
How many people bake? I mean real pastry baking, not the prepackaged mix.
How many people have been to a cupcake shop? I have a couple in my area, but they also make cakes.
I love to cook, in almost all forms: Cooking, grilling, frying, roasting, and baking.
I now some people are excellent at baking, and horrible at the rest, or horrible at baking but exceptional at the rest.
Baking is a more precise science. Everything has to be properly measured. Simple variations in ingredients or processing can have profound results.
There is a huge difference between All Purpose Flour versus Cake Flour; Instant Yeast versus Cake Yeast. And then there is the knowledge of how it all goes together.
Throw in frosting, and piping on whatever little decorations go onto the cake.
Now take the cupcake. It is smaller, has more surface area, and requires more manual labor (frosting is a pain unless you are really good at it).
Cupcakes are the least forgiving. It is a cake, that is not a cake. It dries out significantly faster than a regular cake due to its increased surface area. Even if the cupcake is perfect coming out of the oven, it probably will not be after several hours in a display case. And its not like a cake store wants to sell day old cupcakes. The frosting picks up aromas and what nots just sitting around. They are either given away or thrown out.
In other words... cupcakes are a royal pain in the arse...
Memory retention... Part of the brain will absorb the information as you take your notes, whether by pen or paper. Usually the best results are to take the notes immediately by hand, and then retype them later as it engages a different part of your brain.
So by double data entry, paper and computer, you store the information in different parts of your brain, increasing recall and retention.

Because its not allowed.
Pvt. Joe Bowers: What *are* these electrolytes? Do you even know?
Secretary of State: They're... what they use to make Brawndo!
Pvt. Joe Bowers: But *why* do they use them to make Brawndo?
Secretary of Defense: [raises hand after a pause] Because Brawndo's got electrolytes.

What would a smart phone look like that ran on AA batteries?
That's a feature.
20 minutes? Maybe on a clean install with partitions all setup. An hour is probably more realistic, same as any OS.
So writing a piece of code that basically generates "Hello World" requires licensing?

I don't know... maybe I'm just crazy and naive.
I prefer the ballistic solution. The reflective coating makes them a little easier to follow with open sights...

Hmmm... I wonder... Do cows think people taste like chicken?
Just because this example is simplified...
1. Sell iPhone to unsuspecting customer
2. Report it stolen.
3. Receive returned phone.
4. Repeat steps 1-3, until finally arrested.

Maybe I'm behind, but didn't Google stop crawling FB / Twitter / etc data after their deals went south.
If they had, then the social data would be stale.
And who wants stale social data?
So you mean some farmers (home owners) speculated on the high price of corn (real estate) and are going to get burned?
Suddenly, it feels like history repeating itself...

CodeAcademy is just that... Computer Based Training modules revamped into a webby centric platfrom....
I hated them when I started out, but management deemed them totally cool and the greatest low cost way to teach old programmers new tricks.
The old programmers hated it because it was mind numbingly slow and ineffective at retention of new concepts.
The young programmers hated it because it was mind numbingly slow and ineffective because these were concepts we learned before the CBT was designed.
CBTs are reactive programming to address yesterdays problems.
Sums it all up perfectly. Why the base was hacked, and why the base commanders did not find out until after it was published in Wired.
I'm mostly curious to what people's experience is

If I am paying that much for a cupcake, there better be free pussy and weed in it...just sayin'.
I now have a name for a cupcake shop... Pussy and Weed
