I used to code with vi on various *nix systems. Now like you said, it is the constant, and I can do stuff reasonably quickly when it is the only thing available... And sometimes it is good to get a few old school licks in. But the point of the new editors is that they don't take a big learning curve or time in order to be more productive. I like newer editors, but to each their own. I think it is more that than requiring effort to learn something new. Because the newer editors don't take much effort. And of course this assumes you like working on a workstation with a GUI desktop environment.:)
The Russian law is to expose anonymous bloggers so Putin and his cronies know where to send the assassins when they see someone criticizing them or exposing their corruption. Same as when they had all the dissenting mainstream Russian journalists assassinated. Now Chairman Putin and his friends control the mainstream media, so on to phase 2: online journalists and bloggers. Of course they are thinking that announcing the law might save some money too, by intimidating people into not exposing the Chairman's lies (like the bullshit about Ukrainians needing any outside impetus to oust a corrupt Russian-backed president who syphoned off billions of dollars into his own pocket while sliding deeper into Chairman Putin's pocket).
This does not meet the American Congress's mandate that all new factories of any size be built in China to pad the pockets of their prime contributors. They will be sure to pass a new law to close the facility and off shore it. The law will be signed into being by George-W-come-lately, President Obama.
Who do they think they are creating jobs in North America? If this were anyone else, it would be created in back country China by Foxconn and we all would LIKE IT! Or we'd be told we like it in some religious cult revelation ceremony followed by whoreds of 'the iFolk'...
I'm actually amazed anything resembling hi tech is being created in North America lately.
That explains everything. Ukraine is about to achieve energy independence from Russia. And energy is the only thing Russia has now to hold Ukraine and the rest of Europe under its thumb. So Russia has to invade to maintain its dominance.
What will the consumers do, use another ISP. Oh wait they have monopolies and cartels. OK, what other leverage do the customers have. None. Suck it up sunshine, no Netflix for you. Guess you'll have to pay for that movie channel from xyz provider corp.
This sounds more like you are describing Amazon shareholders making 6.3% less than what shareholders of other companies might make. That is not a loss to the company. You do understand that shareholders and the company are different entities don't you? You exhibit the warped logic that drives cowtowing to short sighted shareholders (I think calling them investors after this long in business might be disingenuous) who want immediate gratification and not to long term stable growth. If someone doesn't like it, they can sell their shares. That won't affect cash flow to the company, only a shareholder or share buyer. Maybe if we know if the profit/loss on the balance sheet includes payment to actual initial investment to venture capitalists... they are the ones who really need a set rate of return since at that point they ARE the company. But shareholders aren't, necessarily. I think that was the basis of the SCOTUS saying corporations are individuals. Sure if a block of shareholders large enough got together they could force short term returns to increase over long term stability and growth they can, and often do. Maybe this time we see the return of blue chip thinking. It is the kind of thinking needed to get North America back on the road to success in my opinion. Less drive to offshore for short term goals.
Thanks. I think with these conversations, time will tell what he really means, or if what he really means needs to be modified to match some sort of reality.:)
I worked in the U.S. for six years on TN visas. I would have loved to have gotten a green card and stayed, and invested back in the community where I lived. Unfortunately, the U.S. immigration laws aren't created to favour those from other countries who come, work, pay taxes, keep their noses clean, contribute to the community, etc. Why do people have to be refugees to get a fair shake?
I'm surprised there aren't more people who raise the concerns of this being a GMO. I would have thought that the proponents of weed for medicine aren't bitching about franken-blunts.
These will appeal to those who think they need to spend more money than they need to. As a previous poster pointed out, go to the music store (musical instruments) and go to the recording section and buy a DAC (they are really analog to digital / digital to analog converters depending on what direction you are talking about, but most just call them DACs). They have smaller ones for less money than these with equal bitrates and resolution to anything on this list for less money. They are good enough for recording music, they can be used for playback via their output channels. They won't be as small as the easy to lose thumb drive sized gizmos for a thousand quid, but more like the black box sized from the list. But at most you'll pay $US250.00 and some are half that price. In my reply to that other poster, I pointed out a product from MOTU (they make good stuff). The added benefit to these is most come with some decent recording software too, if you don't already have that.
That's true. But at least now western companies get scrutinized a lot more and are less able to get away with shit. The Chinese companies don't have anyone at home who give a shit about where they get the ore and what they do to get it. And they try to avoid any western reporting often with the help from the politicians there. So western media haven't been been reporting what the Chinese do or haven't been able to. I have talked to people who have or currently work in mining in Africa and anyone could ask them about things like Chinese refining operations using crap loads of mercury and just pumping it out into rivers or hidden tailing ponds hastily built. I just talked to a guy over coffee last Sunday, who flies into Guinea periodically on mining related business (mind you he's taking a pass until the Ebola outbreak is taken care of).
FWIW, I don't fret about what my ancestors did. I can't help that and don't subscribe to the idea that I have to pay for their sins or indiscretions other than to have to live with the world they left like everyone else. I worry about what we can do now, and even though western companies try to get away with whatever they can, face it, we do rein them in far, far better than the Chinese do with their "companies" (quotes because really, they are just another arm of the government when they want them to be).
but have the best-quality DACs and filtering that you can find
For Example: MOTU Good enough for a single computer
The thing with this is, I don't think you will have enough outputs for surround sound, but you will get very, very good sound at least in stereo.

How is everyone at Sony Corp? Tell them to make a new game called "Sockpuppets On Astroturf."

So you are coding to the (database) implementation?
thank you

You do know that "going to hell in a handbasket" is a really old expression?
If there's no water no one will notice it's gone.
That's what Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse said.
There is a treaty with respect to water in the Great Lakes. Not sure how that would affect things.

Can you provide a good link to that. That would be nice to see. Not calling you on it, just would like to read it.
The reports of the death of software development has been greatly exaggerated. That is, unless Netcraft says so too.
I'm surprised there aren't more people who raise the concerns of this being a GMO. I would have thought that the proponents of weed for medicine aren't bitching about franken-blunts.
Here's the joke: Homeopathy.
Even better.

I guess you must be reading the Chinese news releases.
