but I don't think so. I don't choose music based on marketing by the record companies or the top 10 list on TPB. I've quit bothering listening to new stuff unless it gets pushed into my ears. It has to be on the radio/tv/video or recommended by a friend. I don't even bother to try new stuff any more. I tried listening on a site that would recommend music based on what I said I liked. I found I was wasting a lot of time listening to drek.
Rap is not music, it's talentless idiots chanting to a recorded clap track. Country is too whiney. Most rock is too angry.
Almost none of the songs I hear has anyone with any musical talent associated with it. I think marketing is hard and most bands aren't good enough, or lucky enough, to get noticed.
A lot of the software authors cause this. They never distribute the full dependencies they built and tested their code against and don't build in version requirements. I've talked about this and been universally ignored. I just want the **** to work. I could care less about how 'cool' their code is.
A lot of folks don't realize the bulb lifetime is reduced by cycling the power on and off. What they save on electrical power is offset by the cost of replacing reduced lifetime bulbs. My rough calculations show the break even point is about 20 minutes. Any shorter and the bulb cost may exceed the savings on electricity. I can't get any hard data so this is a SWAG.
why do you think the bsod is a memory glitch? particularly after running another OS that ran fine? Don't they teach troubleshooting anywhere?
You should go learn it.
" it could very well mean continuing to be dragged down by support for legacy sub-systems. It means being reduced to an imitator rather than innovator.' "
Which sums up Microsoft to a "T". One of the most successful computer companies on the planet. Clearly this author has an agenda.
You're not real observant are you? There's ageism in every industry. I'm still employed and I'm a lot older than 35. You're deciding on a career based on money or fame, and not because you love doing the work. You're not in the right industry. You need to be in mortgage banking.
Why is this a failure? Isn't the carbon dioxide taken up growing the diatoms still locked in the flesh of the creatures that ate them? It's not in the atmosphere any longer...
Choosing a path is tough. If you're going to be a PROGRAMMER, not someone who does it until they can move into management, you can go with "high professional" and "low professional". A high pro is one that learns a difficult skill very well and gets paid high wages. It's very difficult to find those jobs though. A low pro is one that knows the language dujour and can get a job anyplace. The salaries aren't high though. A high pro knows something really esoteric, assembler, C, or C++. A low pro knows Java or Microsoft managed languages. In assembler you can do what ever you like but you must do it right or you fail. Managed languages garbage collect so you don't have to, etc.
To some extent you may change over your lifetime or your understanding of life may change. You may find once you have what you desired it's not really what you thought it would be.
Good luck
They're the idiots that decided that encryption keys out to be called "certificates" and are the same things as valid undeniably perfect identification.
If the guys writing the FS can't figure out how to properly write a cache that's not the problem of the application writers. If I save a file via an OS call and the OS tells me it didn't fail then if I can't immediately reread it then the OS is broken.
Data loss from write caching is not a new problem either. Guess this year's crop of programmers can't figure out how to use google to find out about past problems or they just figure they're smarter than everyone else that came before them.
Most of those types of stores have been trying to push warranties on me for years. I have an angry face I guess. I just say "I'm not interested thank you". I don't usually have to say it twice.
A change in how it's marketed is their response to a failing product? We don't have to worry about Microsoft taking over the world. They're on the way out already
Why would any dev, who has to battle with corporate group policies to get his day job done, ever want to write software to do such a thing unless he was paid for it?
Tried it. Couldn't even get signed up for the program. After getting turned down for the fourth time for 'not having a complete web site' I decided it was an urban legend or a game you had to know someone to get into.
I think the point of this that people are missing is that developers, even those who are technically competent, make bad decisions based on poorly considered viewpoints. Forcing them to develop on poor hardware "games their human failings" in such a way that it will achieve the desired outcome. It's the same thing as people setting their watch to the wrong time on purpose or overpaying their taxes so they'll get a large refund instead of wasting the small amounts from each check.
One of the problems with bad management is they are unable or unwilling to delve into the detailed technical issues.
At one place I worked their trusted technology guy decided SOA was a good architecture. So he implemented field level validation on user input forms via SOA using microsoft web services. Every field validation required: * an xml encode * a trip across a network to the web services server * an xml decode * another xml encode to call to a biztalk server (to implement the business rules) * a call to a database server to get the rules (dunno how that's encoded) * a business decision by executing the rules * an xml encode to return the results * a trip back across the network * an xml decode to instantiate the results
As you can probably guess an 4.77mhz IBM PC made this shiny expensive tech look like garbage. If this person had been forced to use old garbage computers to develop on I think they might gotten something that would have performed better on normal machines.
What is this guy smoking? These are the same guys we all complain about not having a clue. Why would an employer fail to check up on you if they're investing in hiring you? If you're stupid enough to leave evidence of yourself in public view you deserve to get the clue bat.
You're a commodity. You try to maximize it's value by making it perceived as valuable. Linked in shows you can get along with others and that you're well respected by your peers. A professional reputation must be known or it has no value. Decide if you want to be anonymous or respected. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.

and why is it different than greylisting? Why did these guys feel the need to make up a new name for the something they're copying from someone else?

Why do we need to do string reversal? I've never done it once in twenty years of coding.

put the passwords for all your stuff on it, along with your will, in case you die. Leave it with your family.

Look around and you can have it for about $200 new

Ah. Interesting to know. They're as bad about maintenance as the games I do play. Doesn't look like I'm missing much.
nobody wants to know your sexual preferences, particularly in an online community devoted to being friendly to children.
What a numbskull.
