Well, nothign wrong with answering simple questions, eh? You aren't teaching theory, you are pretty much teaching how to put the building blocks of knowledge into something useful.
The power button isn't hard to teach. Shutting down any machine, isn't hard, and writing down how isn't hard either. If you can draw a diagram showing layout and write documentation on how to maintain things, I'm sure you can explain that you aren't a great teacher, but here is how you do X.
Nothin' a good ide raid controler and a spare drive could solve. Low cost backup solution. A tape drive is smarter, but once your drives fill, you can always add a pair of new drives and add to your storage w/o the tape swapping routine.
That is, unless you have the money for a drive and eventually a feeder for when your drive becomes obsolete.
"Better to be a fool for a moment, than a fool for life." Hopefully, they'll learn it's ok to ask questions, and we will learn it's better to receive ignorance, and pay back in wisdon and intelligence.
This excludes of course, people of hubris and people who make mistakes over and over without trying to improve.

Yes, 'cause after all, MS controls how HTTP, SOAP, FTP, SSH, IP, TCP, UDP, and ethernet works.

Only thing MS has control over, that talkks to an outside environment, data-wise, is Office, since people trade werd files. Adobe photoshop will still write jpeg files, and maya will still render. Life goes on...
There's a problem with that line of thinking. You can't design an environment where a vulnerable server can't be hit by an exploit that is on a client. Even proxies don't offer a 100%, garanteed solution. Some exploits can propogate the exploit data if it doesn't validate the request or rewrite it.
The reason for a homogenous environment usually is hardware support. Your nic fried? Replace it, 0 driver configuration. No worries. You KNOW the nic worked since you replace it with identical hardware. It's not laziness... it's a garnatee that servicing is fast.
I know a lot of places which do NOT allow laptops in the network for control reasons. If a peice of software is installed on one machine, it gets installed in a standard way on/all/ machines. Bringing in a laptop of even identical specifications is bad unless IT decides to support it. And even then, they need to be able to lock it down and prevent viruses and such.
But at a conference? I get my name mispronounced by everyone, which is by far, more personal, but I don't get snippy when it gets misprounced. I get happy when people pronounce it right:) Can't he be happy people do use it? He's prolly gotten further than most program language developers ever have.
The diff between an object and a struct is the type of data you associate with it. Hell, you can accomplish w/ a struct, the same stuff as an object. You are also assuming that the JVM isnt' smart enough to figure, hey, "this isn't using polymorphism, don't check". The only diff between OOP and functional programming is that in oop, you can associate data with a library, but then again, java's math lib is like that. you don't instanciate it, you jsut pass it params... so while you are more likely to use Java in an OO fashion, you don't have to.
Wha? You can create an inner class. If you make it static, you can share it publically (new X().Y() or new X.Y()). If you make all it's attributes public, you get what is the equiv of a struct.
I went to one of this guy's conferences on C++. I thought it'd be more in depth, but it was merely introduction to the features of C++. It does this, it does that. Neat libs like boost and the stl. Also has ACE libs for cross compatability
Well, as one may expect, someone asked about java. He got very biligerant and brief about it. "C++ is supported on N many more platforms than java." (Can't remember N). It was also the last question too, which left that "weird" sense in my mind's eye.
I think it is a people problem, and people are finally starting to wise up and recognize that there are alternatives. Linux is popular enough now where a friend of mine, who, while computer literate, is not a technophile by any stretch, saw my Gnome desktop for the first time since my computer had been switched to Windows. His reaction? "Oh, is that Linux?" I didn't think Joe User had heard of Linux. I was mistaken.
No, it doens't mean that they are clued that Linux exists. It means that they know it's not a mac, and it's not windows, it is linux. But that's not entirely true. Show them an SGI desktop, or better yet, a *BSD machine running X.
This happens to me all the time. "Oh, you are running Linux?" "What linux distribution are you runing?" "Is this linux?" No, it's FreeBSD. Technically, Windowmaker, runing on X, which is running on FreeBSD, vs windowmaker runing on X, which could run on Linux./grumble
If Apple supported the X86, it'd feel like the current PC OS's.. everything would be a driver issue. Not that OS X doesn't have a driver issue ever in its life, but it'd feel too much so. I like the fact that I can garantee that my mac works with OS X. The only external factors there are, are printers, wacom tablets and cameras (dv or still).
Anytime I've dealt with a PC OS, I've had to worry, will the sound work (onboard or not), will the ethernet card conflict with anything. Do I need to worry abot the video driver. I also don't have to worry about vendors writing their own drivers and breaking OS X.
With the two or three top of the line equpitment supported, plus their own line of peripherals, I think I'm quite happy. Am I disillusioned here?
I think humans may always surpass due to those things you can't imitate, like creativity, or emotion. It's those little things that make us humans, that make us so much better at things. It's those things that don't make us basic animals.
I know this isn't simply about the broad subject about plugins. It's about how blugin's and browsers communicate. That's all i know. Where are the details on the particulars that are in layman terms (not the patent)?
I'm not saying anyone deserves to lose a job. I'm not saying any business should go out of business.
Am i the only one who notices that any big and successful businesses either... tailor to the needs of the local area, like construction companies, pizza places, book stores or on a large corporate scale.... have multiple income revenue streams in different markets or subsections of their market, like beverage companies in the soda biz and non soda biz, or IBM, who does consulting and manufactures both software and hardware.
Now take telemarketing, a domain registrar and the Boeing. Bowing? Bowling. Also throw in a magazine, like Maxim and Cosmo.
Most domain registrars out there make money by providing multiple services. I worked for one, so I know this as a fact. Web hosting, certificates, email hosting.. you name it. Boeing, big plane company, doesn't only produce 747's. They make a slew of different plane components and types of planes. Telemarketing, they cater to companies around the US and call people. Maxim and Cosmo, sells ads and magazines AND has an online presence. While the mag company and telemarketing industries aren't the most present, the magazine company is double dipping, once into ad companies pockets and once into yours.
Now let's look at the.com boom. I worked for one. It sucked. And I left it. People who work for telemarketing companies know that cold-calling sucks, and don't stick around for various reasons. Low pay and a crappy job.
I don't feel vengence towards these people, nor do I feel pitty. It's an industry that's going away. Successful companies stay successful 'cause they are smart, not lucrative. They know that they must expand or make thsmselves dominant and unmovable. The people who are going against the gov't have lots of money, but probably little biz sesnse. Just some smucks trying to control their wealth via regulations via the gov't.
Telemarketing going away? Yay. People losing jobs? Yeah, but this will happen from time to time, as time passes. Nothing to see here.
Considering the low cost of the software, wouldn't it be silly NOT to use a premade solution? It surprises me when some companies insist on writing their own software when there is a solution around, and when they don't when their needs are too custom.
This type of stuff is what MS is really afraid of. People using OSS vs WinCE/ME/NT.
