What's the realistic alternative to Java? Java is good enough and the main gripe is that Oracle is loosing the trust that Sub Microsystems built up.
C# just isn't for political reasons. Financial institutions are very influential in programming languages becoming significant as they are the ones with deep pockets that hire huge amounts of -admittedly mediocre- programmers. So far all large to huge financial institutions I know bar Microsoft from entering their data centres.
So, what's the realistic alternative to Java that financial institutions will embrace?
I'd actually be chuffed to digitise hiking trails. There are many beautiful trails in the area where I live. I know them well and digitising them would give me a new kind od purpose. And yes, I'd need the exercise.
ZIP or TAR your files, convert them to base64, print the resulting text, fax it to the US, print again, ocr the text, convert back to binary and unpack.
It's done before to legally get stuff out of the US. Must be good enough for reversed process. Dead easy.
(Kiddin' aside, I've done similar shit to circumvent idiotic security policies. Never had more fun with PuTTY and uuencode.)
Fascinating how they cram so much in so little space. I say miniaturize even further so that the device would blend in inconspicuously with my shiny polished toecap.
(To those with a limited sense of humor: This is a joke. Admittedly a very mediocre one at best.)
Why the fuss? You wrote cosed source code and got payed for it. Not all precautions were taken to ensure the author was credited for his work. Someone screwed you over and it's hard -or tedious to say the least- to get the credit right.
If you want to avoid being screwed over again you could consider open source projects. You could also join a company the old fashioned way and make a career as the pretty good coding lad (or call yourself the strategic architect.) I've done both and I'm now in old fashioned employment. For me it sort of fits at this time. I'm having fun, getting credit and praise and I'm crediting and praising colleagues back.
The mentality to screw people over is what holds me back. I refuse to play tricks for other people's exhibitionistic financial gain. I only play along in a real meritocracy.
And in the mean time you're getting acquainted with something else than Windows. The main reason that companies never ditched Windows is that it was too hard to let people get used to anything different. Soon that reason will no longer be valid. My guess is that the bar is tipping not in MS' favor.
The Internet isn't a nanny. You should prepare your kids to use it instead of sticking them behind a screen so that you can sod off to do secondary and pathetic things. Raising kids can't be automated. It takes a great deal of effort. Expecting search engines to filter all bad and thinking your kids will never watch questionable content is very naive and bloody daft. I don't expect everyone to be perfect and I understand "cheating" by, for instance, putting the screen in the living room.
the "foot" being related to some portion of the body
In the region I was born -near San Lazzaro di Savena- we have a somewhat loosely defined unit named "p'zulon". It is widely accepted that the origin is Etruscan and it translates into italian as "pezzolone" which literally translates into English as "big-ish thing". It is widely believed that it too is related to "some portion of the body".
One of the things I like about Google is that they sometimes do stuff for the heck of it or sometimes to scratch a research itch. At most other companies the bean counters would have stepped in. Or a small project would be done to obtain a short term hype to make money. Not at Google, I don't expect the Galapagos will make them anything else than admiration. And as Google employs many, many people I highly respect, I suspect the stuff they make has a certain longevity about it.
I'm not from north America. My perception is that you had to be good at sports to easily get anywhere. Now the game has changed and suddenly you have to be rich?

Caution! Intelligent predator animals you keep captive and let do silly tricks may try kill you once they get the chance.

What makes you think this is incompetence? It actually may well be competence in bullshitting the people.
What a wanker.
To stop a bad guy with a porn addiction you need a good guy with a porn addiction?

Didn't they have pressure cookers in Iraq? That would have avoided Bush's great fiasco.
This is like putting on a condom. Not just after the deed but after birth, when the kid starts school.
Don't you guys have the right to gather news? Such a silly rule is a restriction of such right.
Considering the "genre" of the game, wouldn't Wii controllers be more suitable in certain settings?

CVS is very modern compared to SCCS.
Anyways, who in their right mind creates a single repository with 1T of source code? Movie editors perhaps? Will they really need an SCM system?
Don't underestimate the Saudi regime. It's not it is new to oppression. They are experienced. These steps make organising by the mass harder.
That aint no bike. You'd never be able to deliver the energy to get airborne by pushing pedals. A flying moped or e-bike at best.

...but in the USA, the defense can subpoena the footage and, if they feel it would help, can submit it to the court themselves as evidence...
Yeah but the snag is that you must apply for it in a highly nasal voice and a hick accent.

"aimed at reigning in certain patent-holding firms"
"Reining", not "reigning". Think horses, not kings.
Shirley you mean "raining".

And what do we learn from this ?
No matter the number of digits in your bank account, in the end you're still human...
You mean to tell us you never expected this until today's epiphany?
And all the best wishes to Larry from me too.
