Sad, but for the first time since the mid-nineties when I started using Netscape, I'm considering switching. That includes the Netscape6, pre 1.0 Mozilla days.
None of my plugins work and I'm asked to install and upgrade major versions every few weeks it seems.
Microsoft has the nasty habit of tying their Browser releases to their OS sales. That's why you won't be able to install IE 10 to Vista, or IE 9 to XP. Also, they don't backport the render engine as a middle ground. How about an IE 8.5 that has much better HTML5 support but leaves out the Vista+ reliant features?
This leaves Google Chrome. They too have a rapid release schedule but if they can manage to not piss off their user base *and* and at the same time ignore the user constant complaints I think we may have a winner.
The idea that it is irreversible and destructive of the economy's ability to grow is less well known.
Because that effect has not been proven? Many, many very informed groups of leaders, business people, and scientists ( economists ) disagree with this forgone conclusion.
There seems to be a lot of that going on on slashdot lately.
It is well known that U.S. born black people going through college in the US get breaks not afforded to everyone else. We have even seen egregious examples of passes that should have been fails and even examples of plagiarism that has gone unaddressed and unpunished when done by black people. We know all too well how the system seeks "fairness and balance" by giving advantage to the "disadvantaged." But what happens after graduation?
As some of the interviewers in the article hint at, HFT is a small niche that's getting way more than its share of attention.
I'm not saying HFT isn't dangerous, or something to keep an eye on. But if you're looking for a job in Manhattan financial sector, you'll more likely be working in web or other "high level" stacks.
Java is *huge*,.Net is also very popular. Web is, of course, very important with just about every stack, from Ruby to ASP.Net represented. I see a surprising about of MatLab for analysis ( I guess I just wasn't expecting to see any with QuantLib and similar floating around ).
1. You should into look at how Bill Gates has spent the last decade and then ask yourself your own question. 2. Even if you felt that way before the article, did he actually come off as a man who didn't know what he was talking about?
This thing I thought when I saw this was, why is this special?
China has QQ, which has been doing the same thing for years. In fact, you'd be surprised the type of stuff that fines it way on QQ. QQ puts 4Chan to shame on bad days.
I actually think this quote from the article has a valid point about western media in this case...
Bishop said such reports are "completely overblown by the Western media," noting that Sina is in intense domestic competition with Tenecent, another Chinese company whose most prominent product is the QQ instant messaging service.
I actually thought the assurances were descent. Try looking at the SLA for your other cloud products to compare. Plus I've had Microsoft hosted Exchange for almost 2 years now and can't remember a single outage.
But what's sad is that the title of this 'article' and summary tries so obviously and desperately to frame the SLA in the worse possible light.
How about reporting something newsworthy, like the fact that Microsoft released Windows Phone 7.5 Beta 2 ( Mango release ) to the entire development community yesterday.
If you're comparing Sharepoint with Google Docs, I'm not sure you fully understand what Sharepoint brings to the table.
I'm actually wrapping up a Sharepoint 2010 installation this month. It's on time and budget. The company now has their entire Workflow process, including custom C# workflow/document rules that were developed specifically for their needs.
Google Docs and Sharepoints are not even similar products. If you can go with either for your needs, then by all means go with Google Docs. Because that means you're really not using Sharepoint properly.
Not to mention, Skype already has interception in China, and probably in other countries with governments that require it.
You maybe able to get around this by getting the full ( not the stub ) international installer and using that. But the Chinese Skype definitely has censoring and interception built-in.
Here's an article, but there are lots of references to this on the web...
I wish Miguel and his team the best of luck. I was actually reading Slashdot when Miguel started Gnome, actually remember the email announcement. Gnome was an incredible success. His other ventures all got bought out ( a successful exit strategy ).
If Xamarin would except micro-investments ( ie. 100K ), I'll be first in line to sign up. I've got something in the 401K, the wife has this ( morbidly weird ) funeral savings I might be able to get at. Heck, the kids got a piggy bank they watch like hawks; luckily they fall asleep early.
You have any evidence of this at all? I mean the slightest?
Very few of Microsoft's former mobile partners have agreed to work with WP7. Even Sony, which was exclusively WM6 is now a fierce exclusively Android competitor. Microsoft hasn't sued any of them.
Motorola was on a patent war path. The timing of the Motorola suite suggests that Microsoft sued Motorola on behalf of some of its other hardware partners, which unlike Apple, it desperately needs.
Slashdot Mirror
ITunes store is an entirely different type of service. There is no customer storage to speak of.
It's pretty much an e-commerce store with a native client.
Is this the return of Dotcom accounting?
Sell at a loss, make up in volume?
VS Express can't use plugins. That's one of the "upsell" features of Visual Studio Professional and higher.
So to build plugins that's free for anyone to use without needing to pay the ~$400 for Visual Studio you need to use the Visual Studio Isolated Shell

It's call "Kickstarter" <-- Air quotes
Because Java's lambda expression feature is a closure....?
It didn't have to be implemented that way, but it is. So using Lambdas and closures as the same thing in conversation makes sense for Java ( and C# ).
Correlation does not imply causation

Wow. Do you have any proof of this at all?
They didn't call it C++0b
Oh and didn't include garbage-collection outright ( though they did design it with gc in mind ).

Yes, strange things happen when we put aside our prejudices.

Nice to see there are no spoilers in the title. Taco you're come a long way baby.
I haven't heard that name since I stopped reading "Hardy Boys" as a kid.
Haters are gonna Hate. That's just what they do.

More likely because DOJ was beginning to probe on the behalf of Adobe.
faster => Increased speed
sluggish => Less latency
...Taco doesn't do well.
