Goddamn lawyers have taken over
on
Google's Evil NDA
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
Seems like the lawyers have taken over there. Management asked lawyers the question: "Make a risk analysis and possible solution."
Lawyers draft up some crazy-ass contract which is perfectly logical but doesn't take common sense into account. All risks mitigated, and at the same time, looks ridiculous.
Granted, it's cool and collected alright, but this guy brought out some leverage... look at this:
If
someone at Apple does not resolve this pronto, your company will lose not
only my future purchases, but also my purchase recommendations to graduate
students, professors, and support staff at MIT.
Also, as a close friend I'd surely like to see that flaming mail you would send:-D
I live sunward and have the sun on my windows for like the whole day - it'll easily get up to 40* Celsius in here in summer, without additional cooling. never drops below 20 in winter without heating though..
Does your house have those outside sun blocking screens? See here for an example. These keep lots of heat out in the summer.
On an unrelated event, I have donated enough to the vim developer http://www.vim.org/ to get voting rights. Number one is integration with external programs such as Eclipse:-D
Once vi's regexes will be unleashed in Eclipse there's no telling what the world population will do. Mwahahahahahahah....
nowadays IDEs aren't just dumb editors with a "compile" option in the menus any more. They compile and cross-reference classes all the time as you type.
I'm curious; isn't there any piece of MS software that you use? Looking at your nick, you're probably a network admin, but what do you use on the desktop? Also, lots of companies force use of Outlook or IE for internal websites, isn't that the case at your workplace?
These oldies are regularly used in the demo scene. A colleague of mine regularly visits demo parties where up to 250 geeks gather to show each other their demos. He owns a souped-up atari with a custom board driven by a custom-made FPGA containing 2 Gb memory.
Although reportedly, even in the demo scene there is an on-going shift to PC hardware. The Amiga and Atari lovers are getting smaller.
On another note, he told me that when his group returned from a recent demo party by car, they noticed the little mileage markers (marking every 100 meter on European highways). They drove and counted 133.5, 133.6, and then saw that 133.7 was gone:-)
Unlike with audio, where most people will listen to the same track on their iPod and through their home stereo (which makes me think that a lot of people must be near-deaf, but I digress)
My guess is that a lot of people don't want to spend more than $200 on an audio set, including speakers. My guess is that you barely notice the AAC quality.

*laughs out loud* That's pretty funny.

The reason Mono hasn't broken through does not particularly depend on an IDE, in my opinion.
Couldn't resist
*pulls out the flamethrower*
:-D
:-D
Wanna fight??

Nor how much CO2 it takes to produce this CO2 capturing device.
Thanks for the link, very interesting.
Have you thought moving into the not-for-profit sector?

*laughs* Good catch.
Yeah, that's why I didn't say 'starting to use', but 'ongoing move'.

Just google for 'keyboard stickers'. My russian colleagues use them, but they're available with a plain western alphabet as well.
It's not his real name, it's his nick on slashdot.
