A good manager deals with the paperwork of requisitions, financing, and getting "buy in" from "customer" departments and management.
A good manager makes sure your projects have visibility, and that their successes and ROI are broadcast through the company so your department doesn't end up downsized.
Having technical knowledge is good for a manager to understand what their team is doing and what they're saying in meetings, but "technical knowledge" is not and never has been what the manager's job is about. A good manager doesn't need to understand the details, because they're not micro-managing their staff.
So how is this non-technical manager supposed to provide oversight, manage conflict, improve workflows, and improve processes when they don't understand the technology or tools?
Seriously, when the shit hits the fan non-technical managers are just guessing at how to fix it and why it happened in the first place? I'm sure we have all worked with plenty of bullshitters that make the rest of our lives hell. And they get to exist and continue to exist because of non-technical managers that can't filter them out.
I know it is tough to keep up with technology when being a manager because of all the things you mentioned. But there is a reason why we are paid more to manager engineers instead of Wendy's workers. We are expected to know more and actually lead by example; not just be a baby kissing politician.
Oh they are there, it is MS so you can be sure of it. They just don't have a web browser accessible install base anywhere near the size of Java. But please go on believing the reason those bugs aren't surfacing is because they are not there.
If you have a great idea, you should see it through. You can always go back to college later, and the experience of pursuing it will be far more beneficial to you than any class you could possibly take.
If you don't have a great idea, than dropping out of college is stupid and will gain you very little.
Or maybe you could go to college and pick up some ideas for how to best execute your idea so it has a fighting chance of becoming reality. You might even be able to build a network of contacts that could help. And maybe even get the credentials that many investors will want to see in order to give you the money you'll need to get off the ground.
Or just hope that you can do it all on your own with no resources or formal training.
How can URLs be displayed in a non-existent status bar? Did they resurrect it? I didn't see anything about a "status bar" in the release notes...
Right now I'm using the "Status-4-evah" add-on to get the status bar back - and that plugin already takes care of displaying the URL in the "status bar".
No, the status bar is still gone. Now it is like Chrome and IE9. You hover over the link and the URL is appears in the bottom left of the window.
His point was that this isn't as altruistic as people are saying. Yes, he sets up a foundation that does good through the interest earned each year.
So he helps some people for pennies on the dollar while he throws around the real power of the foundation to get what he really wants in the end. Which may be in fact be evil.
It is just a tool for the rich. They don't give a damn about the people they "help".
They already have this feature too. Just click the green beaker in the upper right hand corner and search for "Inserting Images". It is a labs project now. But it is there.
1) You are not a game reviewer! Nobody needs your shitty opinion on Nintendogs over a month after it has been out, to find out it is a good game. You reviewing the game at that point is just public masterbation.
2) Slurpees and tabloid bullshit about static electricity are not news for nerds. If you can't get that, get the hell away from the site.
3) I've got a mid-level 4-digit user id, so I've seen some annoying bastards on this site. However, you are fast approaching the legend Jon Katz. Hell, I'm afraid to type his name for fear the jackass will google himself, and find his way back here.
In short, if you aren't going to correct these problems. Please do me a favor and dettach your testicles so that you may not posion the world.
"As long as new game titles are top quality - offering exciting game play and high production value - we believe that interactive Christian games will skyrocket in popularity much like Christian music did 15 years ago."
Well, if that is their baseline for success -- we can only hope.
You think the bullshit is legit because your cheap ass father saved a buck on you as a kid. You are an idiot. That chiropractor could have just as easily made your problem worst. Consider your little story irrelevant since it doesn't provide proof either way.
As for Yoga being an advanced form of self-chiropractic exercise -- fuck off. Yoga's existence far proceeds your voodoo chiropractic con.
As for Yoga being bogus, that would depend on what promises you think it makes. There are many types of Yoga and people do it for various reasons. So, I'm not going to say that java yoga couldn't be a valid form of excercise, but I will say bullshit if you claim it will align my inner energies.
So here is a big fuck you and your fucking cheap ass dad.
Most chiropractors don't have anything to do with mystic healing and all that.
Listen even if they don't dress like a kook or say things in a spooky voice, it doesn't mean it isn't on par with all that other mystical bullshit. Repeat after me, bullshit is bullshit is bullshit, etc.
If you've got something stiff in your back or neck, sometimes a pop or two can loosten it up and you'll feel better. It's not much different than a massage.
If you've got something stiff in your back or neck that is serious enough to warrent a trip to a "professional". Shouldn't you have a medical doctor take a look at it and solve the problem and not have a con-artist temporarily take away the pain, only to reschedule you for another appointment. You do know that is how it works right. You go to these jerks and they want to own you for life.
Also, having your back or neck popped can really hurt people. Maybe it didn't happen in your case, but many people who go to these quacks experience intense pain for a day or two before experiencing relief from their original pain. I guess that is what happens when you pay an quack to contort your body in order to make noises with your spinal column.
Go back and read the link provided about the origins of chiropactic medicine, which is what it is called in many circles to make people think it is legit.
Because it is associated with magnetic healing, and health tonics, etc. It is a bullshit scam, with no bases in medical fact. Your friend is a con-artist. And you have been taken to do work for bullshit in return. That is why they and I am ripping on you.
As for this hoping it would generate interesting responses bull, this is slashdot, and I've been here much longer than you. I can tell you that coming here expecting anything other than soviet russia, portman, or other jokes is asking for it.
So you can play it down and try to take the higher than I road, and shove it.
You've been had and worst than that you publicly announced it.
Chiropractor?, if you'll take the services of a chiropractor, I'll give you a job in trade for some healing tonics, a deku leaf, and I'll read your future.
I'll start with the fortune telling. I see that you are very gullible and have resently been taken for a fool.
In many small towns the local radio station plays an imporant role. They cover the local high school sports, weather, and community affairs.
They also serve an important role during emergencys.
That is one of the reasons I hate the "Clear Channel" stations. They are nothing but repeaters for the mother station. I think it is time to put more restrictions on local stations. They should have a required amount of local program content.
High school sports weren't important in High school and doublely so now.
The wheather forecasts are wrong most of the time and really doesn't effect anybody's day.
And nowadays the only sense of community in a town is the shared hate for the local home owner's association.
As for being helpful in emergencies, b.s. unless you are trapped in a basement during a tornado. Because otherwise you can flip on the boob tube and see one of five different wheather men earning their keep by standing in the raging flood waters or next to the flames of a fire.
That being said, I hate Clear Channel too.;)

Of course they still fool AV scanners. If they didn't how would they be able to sell you a malware scanner on top of your AV scanner?
The process is running at about 50% efficiency now; the $1/gallon figure is based on getting to 100%.
So right now we are talking about $2/gallon gas? Where do I sign up?

1) Actually, the modem and ethernet adapter use the same slot.
2) And the ethernet adapter senses which type of network you are on. There is no such thing as programming a game to use it only in 10 mode.
3) It is not a GBA emulator. That piece of hardware the GC sits on, is an actual GBA that pipes its video and sound through the GC.
So, not all of the slots on the GC are used.
It doesn't really show in the picture, but this version of Snake better have a sweet-ass mullet.
;P
I mean Snake just isn't Snake without one.
