Whenever a candidate starts complaining about net neutrality and saying the market should regulate itself, we start dropping packages. After all, "his speech is cloggin' the tubes"...
I don't have vendors paying the freight to conferences at swank resorts to convince me to invest in something that's half-developed and overhyped. I never use jargon. I spend zero time doing PowerPoints.
Makes me wonder why these people are so much more smart than the average CIO that only knows how to "deploy" the latest crap that comes from that city in Washington.
Maybe because it's really their neck on the line, that's what I call responsibility.
The dream was to develop a ribbon of carbon nanotubes 100,000 km long, anchored to the Earth's surface and with a counterweight in space, providing a permanent bridge to orbit
I am the only one who thinks that ingesting "a liquid that causes 3rd degree burns when applied to the skin (much less sensitive and prone to recovery than, let's say, internal stuff)" is not something smart to do ?
I HATE hot coffee. I HATE hot liquids. To me , warm (40ish) coffee is the way to go.
don't waste your money on "Enterprise CVS solutions" that suck donkeys balls (the more expensive, the crappier it is, pretty much all of them).
They will gladly charge an arm and a leg for something as good (or worse) as CVS
Yes, I think you're thinking what I'm thinking and it is beyond me why people pay so much money for that crap. Probably because in their minds expensive == good
Drug research involves real (high) risks to people, real (high) costs to the company, etc
Wanna work in Linux, a computer and a internet link and you're good to go.
Wanna test a drug, you have to test it on people. These people may suffer side effects (requiring care = $$), or even die ($$$$$). Also you have to evaluate the resolts ($$$$$)
Wanna produce a drug, you have to study several ways to produce it (requiring chemicals = $$) and have the equipment ($$$$), produce it ($$$$$), etc
I'm all for cheap meds, but unlike software, it costs a lot to come up with it and produce it. Public funding may help, of course.
I understand now. And yes, being a "forensic expert", he should know the word.
I'm not a law expert, and not a native speaker of english either:P, so I thought, just explain th word and proceed.
Curiously, there is no Inculpate in my dictionary (ok, it has been a dissapointment for a 80k dictionary), but it has exculpate (to prove or state officially that somebody is not guilty of someting)
Thankfuly, I had good/great managers for the past years, so here's a couple of ideas.
1 - Does ho know the basis of Software Project Management? Something like Mythical Man-Month, Agile or classical methodologies (yes, they stink). What do you do if the estimate and deadline don't match, etc.
2 - What about classical project management skills: PMBOK, etc
3 - "Common Sense" - this is the hard part. Maybe throw a couple of what-if scenarios to him, check he's not a jerk or a numb manager, etc, etc
Don't use crap programmed in the last century. "Windows 64 Can't run 16 bit apps" is that supposed to be a problem? For me it is a true blessing.
Seriously people, even though the entire industry touts the "backward compatibility" mantra, in fact it doesn't work like that.
Upgrading the software usually improves functioning in a lot of ways. Memory usage, processor functions, SECURITY, etc
(And the next guy who asks me why their COBOL/CLIPPER/etc application from 20 yrs ago run like crap on their state of the art compter gets bitchslapped!)
"An update posted for Intervideo WinDVD 8 confirms that it's AACS key has been possibly revoked. WinDVD 8 is the software which had it's device key compromised,
'Java is capable of runtime optimizations not possible with statically compiled languages like C++.'
Repeat after me
IT DOESN'T BLOODY FUCKING MATTER!!!!!!!
That's like, 1% of all operations.
Whenever I open a Java program here, my machine gets completely hosed. EVERY TIME. It's worse than big memory consumers than, let's say, Firefox.
CPU usage goes through the roof. Memory usage - ditto. Even a stupid java applet runs very slowly.
NO interpreted / JIT language sucks AS MUCH. NOT EVEN.NET, fer xhrist's sake.
Oh yeah I forgot, Java is an "enterprise" technology. You need big servers, big iron to run the programs (that would run perfectly in a 10 y. old machine had they not been written by a bunch of retarded monkeys in java)
But hey, I got surprised, I didn't even know the Java programmers knew what a "processor" was...
Since most of those people are Mexican, I looked it up - if your parents are Mexican, so are you. Dunoo about Honduras
The problem is.. If they are in the U.S. you (better, the U.S. gov) can only say: Either this baby is a US citzen , or it is not.
The U.S. gov. CAN'T give another country's nationality to a person. Hence, the U.S. gov. CAN'T say "This baby is Mexican", the only g.v that can say that is Mexico's

Unlocking the iPhone will become trivial in the following weeks. However, what to do with the 2 year contract you signed at the time you bought it???

Remember, first you have to build a FINITE improbability generator. THEN you just take its output and plug it back in its own input.

And it didn't work?!?!?! No S... Sherlock!
Tell me about feasible goals.
You need a whole computer to factor 2^2048???

I have fear of heights and if I can change a light bulb without using the stairs, that problem becomes easier for me to solve.
Elementary, my dear Watson
Other than that... I don't buy it.
Only one detail missing:

I thought he took it quite well, didn't behave as a complete jerk (as opposed to a certain lawyer there *coff*coff* )
Of course he had his "prick" moments, but the voucabulary thing was uncalled for.
