I just went to Rosaritoa,Mexico last weekend by car. I entered Mexico from California and there was absolutely no check. The only check is when coming back, in which case a state drivers license will get you back in. I'm not sure what else works. It has been like this for many years and I don't expect it to change.
OOP is only as good as the designer. Any of the OOP languages (Java, C# , VB.NET (gasp) to name a few) can still have a clueless idiot make a God class. Conversely, you can "simulate" inheritance, polymorphism, etc. in procedural languages as well. U of Delaware has a Scheme class where this is often done.
Except that Scheme is not procedural.
And yes, OOP is only as good as the developer, but can't you say that about every programming paradigm?
Headhunter != Internet Job Posting. Just because a bunch of headhunters are disappearing doesn't mean jobs obtained through internet job postings are less effective... I would think that it would have much more to do with the reduction of jobs.
I work for Human resources in a large company, 29000 employees. I checked stats and approximately %4 of our applicants came from internet postings. Keep in mind that this is not a tech company and I would guess that a far greater % of tech jobs come from job posting sites than in other industries such as this one. oh, and I was one of the %4 who got a job here through the internet, tech job... site was Dice.
My mother or father couldn't migrate files from one Windows machine to another. Help would be needed for the initial setup in either case for alot of people. Somehow this happens in the windows world, a son/daughter, friend, neighbor helps out. It's those people who usually provide the knowledge. Easing the pain of transition for a newb is a great thing, but I think that absolutely eliminating it is unrealistic. I wouldn't mind seeing multiple tests for different levels of users. level 1 Absolute newb to windows (compare Lindows to Windows Learning curve) level 2 Familiar to the basics of a browser and an editor. Maybe a few other programs but a week concept of files and programs level 3 Good concept of programs and files, understands file system but would need help installing a new version of windows, or moving personal files and settings from one machine to another. level 4 Mostly independent, may need to make a phone call to clarify things when transitioning. level 5 Can learn anything with an internet connection.
'I dunno if I would have made this review a story on slashdot... the review it self seems really thin, doesn't mention'... 'kernel revision'... 'glibc version'...
Not all people who read slashdot are linux geeks. From the article... "This article isn't so much of a review as it is my experience installing and using it"
This is exactly the type of "review" that I am interested in. Is the distro easy to deal with? What are problems I might run into? Is it easy enough to transition to so I can recommend it to my father or friends?
The reviewer covers those questions to an extent and comes up with some decent gripes/requests.

Not exactly a rocket but... fuel
cell bike similar specs as the gas powered except without the stink. I guess the only problem would be getting the hydrogen for it. Very neat though

Thomas Jefferson (paraphrased): "If men were angels there would be no need for government, but since they aren't, there is."
It would be really nice if people didn't steal. But they do. Therefore I fully support the right of anyone to aquire and use the strongest locks possible.
Let's see... pull out a quote from Thomas Jefferson = get moded up? Granted, he was briliant and there are plenty of great quotes that one can use, that quote doesnt really validate your argument. TCPA does not equal government. The discussion of whether TCPA is right or wrong is outside of government. It's more of a consumer review, will I or will I not use it.
As an experiment lets see if it works for me:)
Thomas Jefferson (paraphrased): "God has not favored ride the man back opening. Mankind laid already."
This was taken and reworded from the following Thomas Jefferson quote:
"All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God."
>If it's truly misleading, then the activists in question should be held accountable for it
I dont see how you can say that the activists' speech is equal to a corporations speech. I would venture to say that the activists in question did not benefit significantly from a lack of Nike sales, where on the otherhand, Nike does benefit from the sales of there shoes.
Why do we have truth in advertising laws? I would think that the main reason is to protect consumers. What's to protect Nike and consumers from inaccurate activist speech? Nothing, but the incentive to lie is much greater for Nike than for individuals who have no stake.

This has got to be a joke. Someone types in "java" or "scheme" in monster and tries to play it off as some sort of indication of the ratio of jobs out there? I am suprised so many people are taking this survey so seriously and arguing over it. The probability for inaccuracy is probably.. hehe.. off the chart err pie chart. Large numbers of jobs are not listed on job sites, not to mention the languages this person leaves out... C as someone mentioned, cobol, peoplcode(although it could be debated whether its really a language, there are jobs out there).. and I'd imagine a huge number of languages I've never heard of. Granted the person who wrote it goes over some of the problems with the study, I somehow feel it was presented and taken a little bit too seriously.
Whether or not to wash yourself wasn't the point of the above comment, but how you wash yourself. She/He clearly stated to use soap only when needed and otherwise WASH with just hot water. Sounds like %100 washing to me. And yes, just water is actually fantastic at washing away basic dirt.
>Give Microsoft competition; give 'closed source' competition; don't just spew mindless immaturities - "Waaaaah, he gots a lollipop and I don't".
Speaking of being immature, I don't recall making fun of someone a level of maturity. I see no indication of jealousy in the comment about the relation to the push to keep microsoft developers.
I've witnessed many times guys who take up charitable interests just to get laid, and it works, over and over. The guy really might not be an a-hole and might even agree with his new found ideas, but somehow it just seems a bit cheesy.
If you respond to this, keep in mind that my reason for this viewpoint is not because I want a lolipop, or my neighbors sweet little ass, it's just a shared observation.
>Oh and...if $500/year will "put you out of >business", you were never "in business" to begin >with.
Legally they would have had to pay ".07 cents per listener per song". I would imagine this could get pretty high. You are refering to a break that SoundExchange is giving to eligible streamers, which I'm not sure what the eligibility requirements are. Still, I would think legally, they would be able to change there minds and enforce the.07 per song rate if they wanted too. It's this rate that will put them out of bidness.
No, they should not be standardizing on solutions, they should be standardizing communcations and formats. The fact that one solution uses one of staroffice or msword, or another sulution uses one of Java, Perl or C++ doesnt matter. Problems arrise when one system can't communicate with another system, or when it stores its information in a different format or even worse a proprietary format.
> I assume he's refering to the systray, where I have to double click on many of the icons there to get a response.
Nope. you can drag shortcuts to the left side of the toolbar just right of Start(IE and other MS stuff are there by default). Clicking those once will start them.
As much as it seems the masses like this argument, I'm not too crazy about it. It's a bit unclear, but somewhere in your verboseness you seem to be saying basically that if the record companies and movie studios have technological copy protection (that works), then they don't deserve copy protection rights from the government because they have already achieved it.
This is not the case. RIAA does not have a copy protection scheme that works now. The vast number of MP3's lacking copy protection and being traded on KAZAA is an example and this is the area that RIAA is seeking help from the US government.
I dont support record companies and movie studios. I much prefer the statement above which points out that current copy protection laws are not benefiting the Artists and Inventors which Thomas Jefferson had envisioned. He also envisioned all of you guys giving me good ratings for this post, but I doubt that is going to happen either!
