Dipshit, that episode was making fun of attitudes that mass media is not responsible for its effect on its viewers. You apparently missed the irony.
There is a difference between accepting violence and glorifying it. Truth told, most video games are still so cartoonish or garish that they don't stand a chance of influencing someone as much as a television show.
Maybe you're running with a different definition of social skills, but I include being able to communicate your ideas effectively AND being able to read between the lines to determine the how's and what's of the business under the heading of "social skills". If you're running with a different definition, please, elucidate.
Holy god...I didn't even realize those were there(the sponsored results, that is.) I wonder how much crap falls into my blind spot? Hmm, better say something bright to remain on topic.:^)
I worked at GEFA-PMG for a short while. We were buying links on goto.com as a matter of course for the e-commerce sites we maintained. It irked me, but it made sense. After all, goto.com was never intended to be a true search engine. Rather, it intended to be the ultimate in direct marketing-a search engine over advertisements.
I believe this is a discussion that is quickly falling into semantics. While I am using a software application to write this post, I would NOT call this posted response to your note software. I would call it the result from using a piece of software. Your amazingly condescending letter could be mistaken for hubris if I didn't think you were trolling me.:^P
Is an individual web page software? Not in the slightest. Is a well-designed website software? Most likely. Most professional-grade sites have the standard layers of presentation, business logic, and data, with some tossing in a layer between the presentation and the business logic to take care of interface concerns(browser, cookie, et al.) and a layer between the business logic and the data to manage communication between the business logic and the various sources of data.
Too often, people get too gadgety when they design software. Keep it as simple and as direct as the functionality and purpose of the site allows you to. Gimmicks are worthless. The best web designs get out of the way and promote the presentation of their content. Once you've taken into account the structure of your content, half the battle is over.
"We have to do something to make it (HTTP) less important," said Box. "If we rely on HTTP we will melt the Internet. We at least have to raise the level of abstraction, so that we have an industry-wide way to do long-running requests--I need a way to send a request to a server and not the get result for five days."
Melt the internet? What the fuck is he talking about? Nice sounding metaphor, if a bit meaningless. As for ways to do long-running requests, I fail to see how a stateful connection in this case is anymore beneficial than a dated message sent via a stateless protocol to a service. In fact, questions about uptime, data transmission integrity, and security have me thinking the stateless message is better.
Adapting for P2P
Another problem with HTTP, said Box, is that it is asymmetric. "Only one entity can initiate an exchange over HTTP, the other entity is passive, and can only respond. For peer-to-peer applications this is not really suitable," he said. The reason that peer-to-peer applications do work today, said Box, is that programmers create hacks to get around the limitations of the protocol, and this is not good. "It's all hackery, it's all ad-hoc and none of it is interoperable," he added.
Correction. Programmers are not creating hacks to get around the limitations of the protocol, they're creating hacks that misuse the protocol. It's all hackery? This coming from the land of Patches? Simply amazing. None of its interoperable? Are we to expect Microsoft, the company that gave us the.doc format, to give us this interoperable format? Suuuuure.
A few months? Well, that explains why you don't know a fucking thing about server-side scripting, the different methods of moving data around in forms, javascript, and plug-in's. Hey scoobie, there's more than just plain HTML out there!
Let's see...I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there's two smart-ass responses to this, both of them growing from the same condescending, bitterly hermitic, overzealous group of diehard(read fanboy) linux lovers who can't possibly see that the only thing that can bring Windows down(TM) is to BRING PEOPLE FROM WINDOWS TO LINUX.
No, its not ironic that a linux distro would look like Windows. No, your operating system does not make up for your lack of length. Yes, you do want people to actively explore this option. Unless of course, you like being a bitter little man.
The only way I will ever move the wife and kiddies over to Linux is if it makes sense. It does not make sense to move them to a clusterfcked environment where every dork in a closet wants everyone else to absorb his particular brand of dystopia. It would make sense to move them to a user-friendly, elegant, secure environment where I can turn off options that would let them break things. This is where something that looks and feels like what the wifage and kiddies are used to would come in handy.
Require the manufacturers to set up the program or get fined. The market economy will then force the price of the recycling to the consumer. The state budget will get its tax increase, we will still get a new bureaucratic procedure, but at least we aren't paying for it TWICE.
I read the article (surprise!) and I see the part where they want to add more sales tax, and I see the part where they are requiring manufacturers to set up a program to recycle the monitors as hazardous waste, but nowhere in there do I see where the money's going. Honestly, this smells like bullshit/another way to add "anonymous" dollars to the state budget with no oversight as to how the money's being spent.
If they simply told the manufacturers to set up a program or get nailed with a massive fine, you could bet your sweet ass the consumer would be paying for it in the end. In fact, what I see happening is a new tax put into place, the money from the tax funneled into pork projects, the manufacturers setting up the program without funding from the state, and the consumer getting stuck with the bill for the set-up programs, thus increasing sales tax. So....strike up two knocks of taxes, a new bureaucratic process, and a a couple politicians who can now claim to be pro-environment while doing nothing but padding the state budget.
Thanks, but no thanks. You can keep your sour grapes to yourself.
the idea that work is supposed to be fulfilling is a new idea that's basically hogwash.
You've settled. Admit it. If you aren't doing something you really want to do, and you aren't taking steps in that direction, you've settled for worthless, time-wasting crap. If you have to make your job bearable, you're in the wrong job. Yes, you might have to take a paycut. Yes, you might even be poor. But no one in the economically advanced nations of the world NEEDS to take a job they hate. Education, internships, volunteering, schmoozing. All are means to the end of doing what you actually want. There are many others. Yeah, you may not have THE dream job, but that doesn't mean your job has to suck the life out of you.
Its amazing that you have such big balls for someone so completely stupid. You have gone so completely off-track, its almost impossible to respond. Yes, that media could contain my bank account, et al. BUT WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH PUTTING OUT DISPOSABLE DVD'S.
It's people like you, who are obviously cracked, paranoid and suffering from delusions of grandeur(yes, you and the elite like you are the only ones able to read into the future) who are thankfully breeding themselves OUT of the gene pool. Go back to playing your video games, you fat fucking sloth.

Sources, please.
Wrong.
The corporate world loves a person for three things:
1. Being able to understand the business and its needs.
2. Being able to communicate your ideas effectively.
3. Being technically able.
These are in order of importance. Don't lie to the young.

Happy troll day.
IMHO, a simple site is pointless.
Thus, why I said elegance. I completely agree with your sugestions and I'd like to add one:
a site map is present in every good web site.
Is an individual web page software? Not in the slightest. Is a well-designed website software? Most likely. Most professional-grade sites have the standard layers of presentation, business logic, and data, with some tossing in a layer between the presentation and the business logic to take care of interface concerns(browser, cookie, et al.) and a layer between the business logic and the data to manage communication between the business logic and the various sources of data.
