I'm pretty creative and intelligent. I always thought there was a link between the two.
Still, its only partially genetic. It needs a stress trigger as well. There are identical twins, with one developing the disorder and the other not. The odds of one with the syndrome passing it to a direct descendant are also pretty low ~ 1% chance.
Good idea. I'm also not an expert. Though, I would think there is a limit to how well this would work. If it were cell shaded to some extent, it might look better than a lossy jpg, but compress to a smaller size. The question is if there would be any point in between where loss of information would actually result in better image quality.
Imagine a chess board is in the image. If an image is sort of lossy, the lines between the black and white might get a little blurred with some black running into some white and visa versa. If you just made the entire board to be a flat gray that averaged the two, it might look better to a human, even if that isn't what the original image was.
Because at some point, hardware manufactures are going to stop writing drivers for xp. Win 2000 drivers are getting pretty rare for a lot of hardware, another 5 years and xp will be in the same boat.
Well, The realization that they the best version of themselves when they server the users of their software the best. Look for google to introduce a media player in the next year and half to capitalize on this Apple mistep.
Exactly. Its also a relatively recent invention. We lived for thousands of years without it. We'll adjust. I'd rather take something less bulky and more vital to my survival.
No, but yes. They used their market dominance in portable music hardware to leverage a market dominance in music software on a computer. They used that to obtain dominance in the online music sales. They used that to obtain dominance in online video sales. Then portable video players. And now they are trying to muscle in on high end smart phones. So yes, they are doing a lot of leveraging. Is it illegal? Probably not. It depends upon how narrowly you want to define the markets.
Way back in the early 90's Cocacola wanted to buy dr pepper, while Pepsi was trying to buy 7 up. The feds squashed both aquisitions because they would reduce competition too much. The defined the market as the sugared carbonated beverage sold as "soda pop". Both Coke and Pepsi argued that the relevant market should be " things you can drink that don't immediately result in death", which would include things like water, juice, Coffee, Tea, and cows blood. Its really tough to say what the relevant market would be in this case.
But, I'm pretty much avoiding any Apple related music device/software.
The reason why I never got a convertible touchscreen laptop was they were at least twice as expensive as a normal laptop with similar specs. Close to $2500 to start, with a weak celeron cpu & little ram. If you make it closer in price,you'll find it will become more popular. Its basically like the Google phone in a bigger form factor.
Have you ever coded in COBOL? I have. It is EXTREMELY easy.
Ok, I'm with you. You're saying its really really easy. Right? Lets just read more of you statement attesting to its ease.
What these companies should be doing is hiring experienced and mature coders who can learn COBOL then send them to school.
Whaaa? School? to learn the language? I thought "It is EXTREMELY easy"? Do you think I went to School to learn any of the programming languages I currently use?
But really, we don't train employees with everything they need to know. They are expected to know how to teach themselves the skills necessary to accomplish the job, as they do it. If that means a new language, so be it.
That's absurd. It was probably due the inability of his body to continue to supply vital organs the nutrients they require. Pretty sure it was multiple organ failure. With the brain shutting down first.
To Clarify, I'm talking about IBM's failure to explain their products in a clear manner, rather than the ( at this point unkown) merits of their products.
Take this from their pdf entitled "Changes in Jazz 2.0"
First page contains the following bullet points:
* Deliver Global Enterprise Readiness * Enhanced agile planning via web * Support Collaborative ALM * Support growth of a vibrant Ecosystem * Bridges to your existing environments * Other Enhancements
Seriously "Deliver Global Enterprise Readiness"?? Where do I sign up?! I need me some of that. Growth of a *vibrant* ecosystem? That's my problem, my software only supports the growth of feculent ecosystems! What a fool I've been!
This whole interview is a good reason not to do any software business with IBM. Its too confusing and marketing driven. Erich Gamma really missed a golden opportunity to explain the platform in simple language to potential users. Instead of explaining anything at all, he just rambled on forever and linked to a web cast. Webcast == Vender controlled message. If you put the same information into a website or heck even a pdf, and I can browse through it for the parts that are relevant to me very quickly. There is no way to quickly evaluate any of the technologies to see if it would be an improvement over what we are currently using.
Exactly. Sorry, if that wasn't clear enough. That is not to say that the miracles didn't happen. In the Catholic Perspective you have to look at the whole of the text, along with the traditions of the people, along with the writings of the first Christians about the text. Scripture + Tradition.
American Evangelical Christians do not share a commons set of well defined beliefs. Rather they are a self identified group that does hold some quite a few varying positions on some issues. There is not an Evangelical equivalent of the Catholicism of the Catholic Church, which delineates the groups beliefs and reasons for holding the beliefs. There are quite a few Self identified evangelicals that do accept Catholics as Christians as well as those that do not believe the Bible is literally true down to each word in every book. While I have no formal statistics on the matter, from my own statistically insignificant encounters with other evangelicals, most are willing to grant the Christian label to Catholics, but most (not all) believe in the absolute accuracy of the Bible.
FYI the Catholic position on the Bible is that it is all true, however it being comprised of a number of different books by a number of different authors using a number of different literary styles means that each section requires a more indepth study that takes all of that into account in order to determine the truth that it portrays.
IN practice, Evangelicals (even those that say they take a literal interpretation) usually end up doing the same thing as Catholics ( whether they realize it or not) when being presented with a specific passage. Which is why many of them consider Catholics to be Christians.
I'm lost. What are we actually saying that is not compatible? Just calling an app that uses GTK# instead of winforms, can't be called.NET? Is that it? Ok, that's fine..Net has historically meant everything under the kitchen sink to microsoft, but if you want to redefine it to be something more specific, go ahead I won't stop you and it doesn't really matter to me. I think we agree. Conversation over.
I've never heard of the tactic being called "cheap" before. At least not at the college and Pro level. Its a high risk/ high reward model. If it works you can force a turn over, if it doesn't the other team has a good opportunity at a fast break with many defenders out of position. I think something like the Statue of liberty play, fake field goals/punts, flea flicker plays from football would be more of a despised tactic. I can't think of anything similar in basket ball, except maybe lobbing threes when your team is up by 20 + points.
Right, but not in the App store. In any case, You can add programs on OSX that duplicate Apple's own included programs. Like Firefox instead of the included Safari. Does anyone think that OSX applications should be similarly policed to remove the "nightmare" of having two applications that ultimate serve the same purpose?
Uhm, I've never referred to running programs on Linux as a "nightmare". Because it isn't. I've switched my mom to Ubuntu, she doesn't have any problems doing anything and wouldn't call it a nightmare. Plus, does Apple really restrict AppStore Applications from duplicating functionality in other Apps available in the App Store? Somehow, I doubt it does.
Twitter went from pure ruby on rails, to some ruby messaging class, to a scala written one. The first two were awful, haven't looked too much at the last one. Facebook seems more reliable, and has dealt with its ever increasing userbase pretty well. They seem to use sensible parts including hadoop. They just recently hired away Mysql guru Mark Callaghan from Google. Not sure what they're doing with mysql, but I was never sure what Google did with it either.
He didn't say it was difficult, he said he couldn't find a good format. So a tool that makes it easy to do in any format, wouldn't have helped much.
Still, its a lame excuse. Its like saying I didn't pay my bills because I couldn't decide on the right signature.

I don't subscribe to his crazy theory. If defaults are to be defined as a configurable initial state, then they've been around for a lot longer than he's claiming. He's just writing for the sake of reading his own words.

No, very true. I mean quick, quick. Just the facts mam. I'm not downloading crap unless I have some idea I want it.

But you can do that, without using any Winforms or ADO.NET. GTK# works just fine on windows.
