Well, you could try VirtualBox, VirtualPC, VMWare, Parallels, or any number of other virtualization platforms... Most of which are available in windows, osx and linux.
I use Windows 7 because it's my favorite UI... I have a mac laptop because it was the best option at the time, and I run linux in VMs... VMs are great, setup dev environments, clone, snapshop, drop back.. even take a look at what that virus payload actually does...
PHP Dev ranges from $45-85K USD/year from what I've seen. GBP around $30-65K/year..Net dev seems to be $80-110K for the most part, but is increasing a bit, looking to get to $120K again... on coastal cities will be more towards $140-180 for experienced senior software devs. PHP jobs pay a bit less.
So $100K/year is a pretty good break towards an experienced position, with a demand that can't be filled locally.
I'm also in favor of a $100K/year USD salary floor for H-1B visas. If there's really a need, then the salary should be that hi... we're talking trained, technical employees.. if you're offering that much, and can't find local workers, so be it... hire foreign.
I really can't tell if that's a joke or not...
I don't think these are lies.. the news about software devs definitely isn't bad news... as for Unemployment, it's been pretty level (not good) for over a year now.. and honestly has as much to do with congress as anything.
Being critical of *anyone* in a government office is pretty common, and if it offends you, then you are either too sensitive, or too stupid to care. It didn't bother me any more when GW was president as it is now that the big O is in office. Hell, probably the top two presidents in the past 40 years have been Reagan and Clinton, both of which got plenty of criticism.
Stop making senseless statements and comments without the nerve to even login first.. it makes the country look bad.. look, you've made our entire country look bad.. it's really sad that you did that. (/sarcasm)
I gave the same guy some advice on a similar posting... I think the guy just needs to put some time to polish his resume and website up... I just updated my own resume as I'm starting a new job hunt.. and was feeling bad about my 2010 jQueryUI based site.
It's been a few years, but still leaps and bounds better than MySpace.. and I've found g+ to be way too bulky for browsers on limited hardware. That said, I also have adblock, and probably don't see all of facebook.
Faster these days to backup what's really important.. usually pictures, music and quicken (shudder) data. The wipe (with a clean linux disk) and reinstall... 2nd or 3rd time I need to clear someone's computer, they get Linux... at least there's less chance of being overwhelmed by viruses.. not perfect solution, but at that point the person can't be trusted.
Don't know about that.. they could have just called it the Microsoft View (your new view into the online world). About 30 seconds... no windows name.. but they could have said... fully compatible with "Windows 8 games" (meaning win store apps had to work on the RT tablet)...
RT isn't bad.. and for new development it's decent.. MS's problem is both screwing over their vendors, their customers, pricing themselves out of the market and to top it all off, using the "Windows" name where it clearly shouldn't be. MS Windows has a 20+ year history of huge platform compatibility. A number of really old windows apps will still run on today's windows (at least from win32 forward on win64). RT breaks from that, which is a good thing.. though MS should have retired windows as a brand for the non-x86 platform.
This is my thought as well.. I think moving the seats to the bottom of the aircraft and opening up the bottom to thick glass would be f-ing awesome. Though not sure about what that would do for safety... it would be really cool. Maybe in a few years.. then again, I see things every april 1 on thinkgeek I'd like to see made.
I only disagree in stating that Windows Phone as of v7 is actually decent... the developer tools are pretty good too. That said, I don't expect MS to support it at all in the long run. I'm hesitant to buy into any MS products not tied to the Windows ecosystem. I happen to like Windows 7 (8, not so much)... I even like and work with.Net... however, I use an Android phone (though Google's recent actions wrt Reader weaken my fanaticism a lot), and tablet (Nexus 4 and 7 respectively... I've used iThingy, WinMobile/Phone, and WebOS based devices... I really liked my Touchpad, though it was left to die on the vine, and when the open-source release came out, no driver support. Android 4.2+ has been exceptional, and only getting better.
I really don't like the iOS/WinPhone ecosystems... I don't like my OS vendor being my main source of apps (and getting a 30% cut of the market). Android gives me the most freedom for now... but I see that as changing more and more. It will be interesting to see what comes from Mozilla and Ubuntu in the near future. I bought into Google's systems because of Reader and iGoogle... those going away, I no longer feel any loyalty to Google.
Actually, I thought the pebble watch was a great idea... My biggest complaint is at the price would rather a leather strap, and a frame. Which is something Apple would probably do better.
Using bombs and missiles on one's own citizens, on native soil short of those citizens using weapons with equal or greater chance of collateral damage is inappropriate. It's pretty simple.. if the bad guy isn't launching missiles or dropping bombs from planes... you using them is overkill. I think that for the most part the same is true in terms of foreign targets, though in many of those cases, I'm not convinced it's appropriate to go into a foreign nation we don't have an active war front in/with.
Agreed.. I actually like OneNote better, but as a regular user of windows, mac, linux and android.. Evernote is really the only one that's everywhere I need it to be... I really with DropBox on Linux was a bit better... will be interesting to see what comes out of their APIs... if they had a hosted app service USERNAME.dropboxapps.com or something similar, where they "run" your apps (say written in python or nodejs), that would rock... and probably a more stable environment long run.
Or worse, a lot of professionals don't get it either.. they'll upload JPG files that were edited, with all the edits stored in the metadata, leaving a multi-MB file upload.. so that gets delivered to their users. It's not hard to setup a program to strip the data, and optimize the encoding of an image.. with a little lossy conversion, you usually get the image size to under half of what the original was or less.
Agreed, I tend to favor the less intrusive action/inaction... I don't own a gun, or smoke (anything), I only drink a handful of times a year... but I don't think these are things that should be outlawed.. and for the most part, I think if you want to run a business, you should be able to allow pretty much anything you could allow in your own home. But hey, that's just me. It's like the people that bitch about Walmart destroying other businesses.. then don't shop at Walmart.. if enough people agree, you win... Though I do wish they were a bit more like they were when Sam Walton was alive, they are very consumer driven, and pretty responsive, at least to their customers.
XBox live was the same way.. I just had my step-son (wife at the time agreed) add 10 years to his age, so his "Date of Birth" would be easier for him to remember.
I think some of the higher end Dell laptops have a trackpoint-style input.. not as rock solid as the older thinkpads, but imho as good as the newer ones.. though, I'm actually partial to my MBP for a laptop, but would rather a desktop with dual monitors and a Model M style keyboard.
I would posit that it depends on the applications running... iOS is much more integrated than Android... by the same token, Windows Phone 7 had really good battery life, and reasonable performance on much lesser CPUs, but that's because most applications were hibernated before switching tasks... Of course complaints were pretty significant.
Also, many android apps include spyware services that run in the background (which is why I try to pay a lot of attention to them), why does a flashlight app need full access to my SD storage? iOS has much better curation of their app store. I think that analysis of apps will improve for both platforms, but it will take time. I also think that hybridizing the CPUs into fast/slow modes will continue to improve. Mfg process shrinking is going to continue to slow and get more creative in how to improve performance.
I think that 2000-3000mA micro-usb chargers will become much more common place, so charging mid-day will be less of an issue... just got one for my car (was using a dual port 1000mA charger, swapped for a dual-port 3000mA charger. So I don't think that battery life (as long as you get 6+ hours out of a heavily used device) is as big an issue. I also have a Qi (chi) charger on my desk at work, which works really well if your phone supports it. Though even without charging, I usually get almost two days of use from my phone on a charge (Nexus 4, I don't interact with it much).
Most well-written software should be threaded and evented... the front end should run in a separate thread from backend processing, with updates coming from state snapshots... Not a huge number of threads, but even a few can breakup workflow and logic so you can scale. The biggest issues is a lot of less-skilled developers make a *LOT* of mistakes in dealing with multiple threads, where you are best off really understanding race conditions, and/or keeping common points immutable with atomic changes, and making a local reference to the existing immutable state before trying to read against it.
I had my most common feeds on it, plus the reader panel.. it was my gateway to a few services... when I had more time, I used reader... iGoogle/Reader were my biggest reasons to use Google anything... now that's being diminished. Why would I use an Android tablet, or phone that no longer syncs up with my reader feeds? Which is most of my time on these things.

I think high density displays (4K+) are coming, and that will need a lot more GPU horsepower... like 4X the horsepower from a GPU.
Yeah.. I think they could have easily called it an UltraPad (assuming no trademark conflicts)

You can't use IMAP/SSL and SMTP/SSL?
