Check out crossfit.com and you'll never do anything else again. Most other workout routines have no relationship to real "fitnes" at all. Crossfit is awesome!
SPNEGO authentication is a must-have in many corporate environments for many flavors of single sign on. Without this, it's virtually impossible for many larger corporations, which may rely more heavily on SSO, to approve this browser for corporate use.
Firefox + SPNEGO however, would still run up against the many corporate web applications (typically built by outside vendors) which are utterly useless within firefox or any other standards compliant browser. IE3 and IE4, which basically defined their own standards, have hurt the web more than we'll ever imagine. How much technology (browsers, gadgets, etc.) is hindered by the utterly broken web as we know it?
I've thought this for a while, but wanted to have this comment to refer to before xmas of '08. I suppose while I'm at it, I should say congratulations to Obama too.
I'm confused by your perspective. Either you prefer cheap commodity with lower quality and price (keep your Dell!) or you value Quality, design and aesthetics and are willing to pay for them. How is this strange?
"Well, who the hell told you to build a car like it was an airplane?" you asked. Quality values will always differ, but your idea that it's strange someone would prefer those things seems very sad to me. "What will they want next, better Quality life? psssshh... I had to walk to school barefoot, uphill both..." you get the point.
While I'm not capitalist, you could at least say that you can rely on the market to balance out these value needs.
Actually, it was Woz who called the Pope. (Full story in his book, iWoz, but cited in many online articles as well, http://www.thisistrue.com/woz.html)
For those really interested in this topic, Audioasylum (http://www.audioasylum.com) has several good forums on the topic, namely their PC Audio forum (http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/pcaudio/bbs.htm l).
What will always be a point of contention however, is what an individual classifies as "audiophile quality". Some suggest this is scientific and testable, others would suggest it's subjective. In my personal experience it's best to just rely on your own ears and spend only as much money as you need to please them:)

PMD Applied
·
· Score: 1, Informative
Completely agree. PMD, along with FindBugs and optionally CheckStyle are great tools to get your development team in the habit of using *before* code reviews. This allows the review to focus on higher level issues rather than "that's a possible NPE right there".
Code Reviews are irreplacable. These tools are *very* helpful to help locate potential issues/bugs in your codebase automatically.
(Both PMD and FindBugs have Eclipse plugins too, which helps integrate the tools into the act of code writing.)
On our machines at home, the only browser running is Firefox, with a homepage of www.google.com. She uses Yahoo! Mail and seems to be somewhat alergic to typing in the address bar. To get to yahoo mail, she types "yahoo" ito google, which nicely displays links to each major feature, mainly the link to Yahoo! mail.
This goes back to the story last week(?) wondering if you're not in google, is your site alive at all? The answer, obviously, is no. Typing in DNS names into the address bar of a browser seems to either be reserved for the savy, or just to meaningless when we have such sharp tools like google.
I evaluated some bug tracking software a while back for a software development group (granted, we had some different requirements than your situation) and settled on FogBugz. One of the features that should help your situation a lot is it's ability to accept "bugs" via email. You can auto-assign these issues to your staff depending on some variables, which may also help (different people can be the auto-assignee based on work type (server, code, etc.).
It seems like the issue here for your staff is having them track all this data, and that setting up the problem description, notes, resolution bits are just too tedious and seem unrelated to their work (to them). I'd set up an "issues" email address and have FogBugz manage it. That way, the problem is described by the user themselves, making notes or asking further questions about the bug is super simple and done within the tool. It integrates into a screen capture utility (for windows) too, which is helpful in many cases.
Take a look at it... it's very reasonably priced and does the things it's supposed to do very well...
OK, i get it. It must be because the temperature fluctuates constantly, in somewhat of a pattern over the last few million years.
Simply put, this "pattern" you speak of, looks like this:
0, 1, 3, 1, 0, 3, 4, 1, 0, 0, 3, 999999
oh, wait, what's that last number there? would you say that "fits" into the pattern of numbers before it? (consider that little mini pattern to represent the begining of earth to now, as documented)
good point. salary.com is a great resource, mostly because they base it on the *most* important factor, which is location.
i work in the bay area as a software developer, if i was being payed the same as a guy in kansas, i wouldn't be able to buy bread, let alone have a place to eat it.
To give him exactly what he's asking for. I'm a professional programmer myself, and on occasion, i need to step in and cover someone elses tasks.
If he says it will only take 1% of your time (wrong!), then that is what you give him. Keep a nice prioritized list of ALL the nice things you'd love to do if you had the time... but by golly, you've only got that 1% of your work week to do it in, so you figure it will take a few years.
When he's about to crack, suggest you bring in a contractor network admin, to build, configure and document your new infrustructure, and maybe then, supporting it may not take too much of your time.
so what if you think that IT budgets are being crunched and there are a hundred reasons (offshoring, requirements of higher ROI, lack of venture funding, etc) that the "dot-com bubble" can't regain it's once-brilliant strength.
Why don't you look at consumer trends online instead! Most retail companies are seeing double-digit (nearly 100% in many cases) year-over-year sales growth in online sales.
People are comfortable buying online. The high saturation of broadband mixed with a growing number of users who feel that buying online is convenient, hassle free and sometimes perceived as cheaper.
THAT is why eCommerce will continue to thrive and only get better. How can you look at a technical or financial limitations instead of consumerism to define the health of a market? This article seems to be comming from the entirely wrong perspective.

personally, i agree with your motives for this point, but you're way off. we're some of the only people who know the difference between a real email device and a "quasi-push email" device (as mentioned earlier). we're also the only people who really understand how we'd like this thing to sync, and what interoperability it should have.
the gadget market has not been founded on functionality, but yet on the cool factor. most GPS devices are so useless it's scary, but they sell like hotcakes because it's a "new, cool toy". these devices keep kids and your neighbor who "knows computers" happy. we'll buy when the device matches our standards perfectly, but we're certainly not the target market.
p.s. the crappy camera on my cell phone... none of the docs, box, online specs nor the salespeople could tell me what resolution it was. case in point. it's "cool", but not important how "functional".
you didn't mention why you discarded pretty common solutions for this problem, namely why you didn't like autosys. it's not free, nor cheap, but it's ability to group tasks together and control dependencies between jobs, groups of jobs and resources is pretty nice. just get used to using return codes in your scheduled jobs and you're good to go, no other change in the jobs you already have required.
i'm in the same boat. i have a huge collection of digital music (ripped all my CD's) that i want to play in different rooms. bonus points for my backyard patio for BBQ's.
this way, i'll have a remote to control xmms from, i have access to all my tunes in one place (not in a separate database for each remote device) AND the laptops can act as photo frames when i'm not listening to tunes (screensaver w/ photos, etc).
i've looked into every single one of those devices that we keep seeing and they all have either limiting features, or a high cost. also, many required a custom streaming app to be used on the main server application.
i like netjuke, but if i don't like it, i can use some other web-based tool. i like xmms, but if i don't like it, i could use something else. control man... control:)
i wonder how the punishment's will align themselves, across countries and across the different charges...
surely the "code theft" charge will be handled a little different from kevin mitnick's?;)
time to sit back and watch, i guess... should be interesting.
personally, i could give a crap about buying a "single", especially when it doesn't come with b-sides! musicians need to partner w/ a few (already out there) nice OSS projects and package their FULL ALBUMS in various formats (to suit the various needs of listeners) and sell them online, through their own indie ("real" indie, mind you) "label" or partner up w/ genre-based "labels". let the big record companies promote bands. let them promote concerts and events... but let the artists SELL their albums for what they want, to whom they want, with whatever license that they want.
i have often wondered about this very same thing. for instance, i'll be in my kitchen, very close to the phone book, but will go into my den (read: room full of computers and books) and look up a phone number or address online.
my judgement of a businesses character, if i've never been there before, is almost always made while online.
personally, i agree with the parent post, in that i find the varied and aggregated sources of information that i find online to be better than reading the corporate trash found in most newspapers, the tv, radio, etc.
no, i don't think that "if it's on the internet, it must be true!", however, enough sources from a varied background, and i'm more apt to belive it there than another source.
for non-tech hefty subjects that deserve a sit-down-and-read... i still prefer paper. which is why i just bought yet *another* damn bookshelf... it's like the wayback machine of my brain, never toss out a book!
this brings up a question i've been asking for a few years now... why oh why is there no *secure* (or at least somewhat secure) p2p file sharing application?
how about using ssl for a start. what about secured remailers?
the requirements:
1) a user should not be able to get IP specific information on other users
2) both uploading and downloading should be handled by some sort of encryption (pick one!)
this should be enough to at least start a discussion as to why there has yet to be a secured p2p app.
