Yahoo was doing quite well with its shitty search engine until Google came along. I still remember the tv ads they used to run. Funny how technology tends to surpass your best efforts.
EXACTLY. I've been working contract jobs for the past year hoping to land on some permemant gig, but they keep asking me idiotic questions in the interviews like How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?. Then I never hear from them again and they go crying about a "shortage of talent" and they run to the H1B's. I'M RIGHT HERE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!
Serious...? Uh, this is a student election. He got this sentence because he used "hacker" tactics. Had this been simple ballot stuffing I doubt he'd have gotten such a sentence. The solution to everything in this country appears to be prison time. Unless you can afford a lawyer of course. He was probably accused ot terrist threats too.
That's not what he's saying. Cows and human beings are both mammals. Does that mean there's no difference between cows and people?
Verbal and physical abuse are not the same either. But they have enough in common that it's meaningful to classify them both as "abuse".
Nah. You're dead wrong, You HAVE to allow room for human nature in a creative setting or you run the risk of stifling it. Or the creative force runs away from you. If you're the boss of a stable of creative geniuses that's not a course for success.
Politeness certainly has its place, and its indespensible in a corp. environment (I guess), but its kinda of useless in a creative-technical one. If you're about to absently place your hand in the path of a kilowatt-power laser and I notice, and I like you well enough, I'm not going to be polite about the warning. But if you've introduced a critical flaw in a code tree I maintain that gets propigated to the world on a regular basis I'm going to be down right rude.
America does, ergo your premise is completely wrong. The continental US has vast resources, especially raw iron, coal, NG, and we blow the rest of the entire world out of the water in food production. What it doesn't have a lot of is something east asia has; rare earth. But
...we've been slashing the budgets of these 'evil bureaucratic' for 30 years...
Yet the federal budget is the largest its EVER BEEN, and the defcit is now well over 16 billion dollars, the larget ever. Funny how that works. Also funny that Microsoft would sue the same org they've been working for.
MongoDB IS NOT acid compliant as far as enterprise is concerned, and its not meant to be. Use a spanner where a spanner is nessessary, and a hammer where a hammer is nessessary.
Marx's ideas have some merit, but he didn't take into account how greedy and brutal people would turn out to be.
Of course he did! What he missed was the idea that labor could withhold itself as a bargaining tool. Das Kapital isn't a treatise on the human condition, its a book about money. Hence the title. Don't make Marx into something he wasn't. And he wasn't a humanist, he was an economist. Communism just glommed on to him as a rallying symbol. You know his dying words were "I am not a communist" right?
Marx wasn't the best at predicting things. For example he completely missed the idea that labor could withhold itself to bargain for better pay and conditions.
in the us, encryption **IS** a weapon... this is why we have export laws on RSA...
We did, they were rescinded in 2000 becuase they were stupid. The Fed. was hamstringing our own companies whereas everyone else could export what technology they wanted. Oh, and its a weapon in the US, becuase we have a paranoid Government. Do you eat up everything the Gov. tells you?
Well, I'm not giving up my Intel '86-based architecture anytime soon but for years, since the mid 80's, I built all my own pc's from components (HAD to have that awsome GPU card), but I have to say, since about 2009 or so its been all notebooks and ultrabooks. I haven't wanted to own a console form pc in years. Just purchased what will be my last aquisition for a while too, a 13" MacBook Pro Retina. With a quad core i5 @ 2.5 GHz and more resolutions than I can shake a stick at I'll be set for the next few years, barring some unfortunate coffee spill.
Maybe your experience is different but I was never put in the hold with the captain's daughter. Either that or she needed a shave and I wasn't interested in holding the mirror. It was a long voyage though.
Rated funny, but all too true. Almost EVERY shop I've worked at said they were Agile but really just ended up being agile/waterfall. its getting so that every job I go for (consultant here) who claims to be agile makes me just grin to myself. Once I caught one of the engineers I was interviewing with let out that same wry grin while the HR manager expounded on how 'agile' the company was. I've worked in and around silicon valley almost all my profressional life and I've never worked a smoothly functioning agile shop, as far as my understanding of the process is. I may be a fool, but I think I have a good grasp on what agile is from all the literature and online material I've read. Seriously? Who is using it to success?
Far more likely in my opinion that it never existed in the first place, or that at some point they fired everyone, and thus broke the chain of custody.
Being the spouse of some one who works for a Gov. entity (her) AND being in IT (me), its far more likely that the the engineers who created the system(s) have long since retired. Fed workers rarely get 'fired'. And interestingly its more likely that the system was documented to a much higher degree than you would think; there are entire fed. departments devoted to documenting things and creating requirements documents. The problem is once the process is documented and archived, those same sad COBOL systems are used to process the records that describe the location of the documentation

You've destroyed your own point with that.
Verbal abuse and physical abuse are both abuse.
I smell a political correctness fan boy. THE WORST plaugue on creativity and innovation in my lifetime.

You'd think that the Fremen with all their technology would find a way to scoop it up and funnel it down to Arrakis then.

That 'God' has a torture chamber and 'allows' things at all is a sure sign that your making this God thing up, bubbie. Oy!

Of course he had (past tense, Marx has been dead for over 100 years), you think licensing is a recent invention?

You are of course correct, I take it you drive a lot and are bothered by cyclists. How often does road rage dictate your actions?
Point being, I guess murdering with his car me would have been the proper response, yeah?
I was already tired of his endless rehashing of the Book of Mormon in every thing he writes.
LOL!
