I had an employer a number of years ago where the policy was that if all the work was done for the day, that we could come in early and relax. Unfortunately in practice, if there was a project manager at the site, they would have us come back in early and do some other work.
Your employer rewarded you by having you come in early and you did so in spite of then being given extra work?
I'd rather that we made it more inconvenient for the police to do their job than easy for people to abuse the system - checks and balances are all very well for the people who obey them.
There's no real crime here in general and what crime there is the police don't turn up to - if someone breaks into your house, or assaults you or steals your car you may as well forget about it.
The vast majority of Brits are not afraid of crime, it's not the vast majority that are installing these cameras but it's the vast majority that should be worried about them. 9/11 and 7/7 didn't affect me, this surveillance society DOES and that's the real terrorism.
Likewise, for our main product we've integrated Dragon for command and control. It's faultless there, even without training. It's 'good' in general use, but that doesn't really cut it for anyone who can touch type.
They can't make it secure though. Never have, never will. And politicians like holes in systems they can exploit to win elections, I'd rather not add more opportunities for them to take.
I keep hearing about how everyone in the UK wants online voting - no one ever asked me and I fear these stories will influence the politically and technically ignorant masses who lack such healthy cynicism!
Normally, something like a mainstream 4GL programmer (like VB6, though I can't think of any that are quite mainstream anymore) is pain less than a.NET programmer, who's pain (slightly) less than a Java programmer, who's pain less than a C++ programmer, who's paid less than an assembly programmer.
How hard would it be to construct a contact lens with a unique, fake, computer-generated iris image (no idea how you'd do that, but "fractals" sounds like a good buzzword to insert here)? Sound like it would be a lot easier than fake fingerprints.
I've done a bit of work on iris recognition. A basic system could probably be easily faked by a contact lens, but a more sophisticated system can measure tiny variations in your pupil dilation and how your pupil dilation responds to changing light levels too. Of course, you can develop more advanced fakes and then more advanced fake detection... it's more work than it's worth as far as I'm concerned.
...or at least, should, but we're close enough, is to just provide releases at certain points and when we make a release provide one script to update from (at least) the previous version.
That script (which probably calls other scripts in turn) should run backups, install new files, update the database schema, import any new data, the lot. Sure it's not trivial to produce such a script and they can end up taking on a life of their own but it saves the devs from having to talk to the IT monkeys.
Yeah, if you can afford it and don't mind being limited to a maximum 75mph - if you can find a hill steep enough to go that fast. 30mpg is probably about average for a reasonably affordable car.
There is no store within 40 minutes of me (in the UK) and I drive over an hour each way to work - it would take me over three hours each way and cost me somewhere near 10-12 times as much on a train. If I tried getting a bus there and back I wouldn't actually be able to do it in a day.

I find it like a halfway house between PreparedStatements and Hibernate. Works fine with existing schemas.
Is a lawywer?

It is.
I must be at a LUG.
...take your business, literally, elsewhere?
Surely the judge is going to say a dignified version of "What the fuck are you on? Get the fuck out of here."
And stop dithering!

Yeah, I find C++ programmers a pain too.
Our entire nation is completely apathetic. I have no idea why, but it explains the record emmigration levels.
Using ibatis because it's easy if you already have SQL gurus, performs better and integrates with an existing data model more easily.

He may have meant he decided to spoil his ballot paper on purpose - as a sign of protest at the choice available.

Good job people tend towards urbanisation then isn't it.
There is a little more in that you have to use PHP to automate the form submission.
Hell of an ugly thing to do though so it just adds to your previous points.

Oh. I pasted the URL into firefox and it put an & in which obviously screwed it up.
That was what I thought was obvious, but no.
