All incoming stuff went into a queue (whether it was new or old), and the next available programmer that had the knowledge to deal with the reuirements got the project.
Sometimes I would be juggling 3 to 10 projects at once, but it wasn't a big problem. This method only works if some standards are agreed apon. When you have agreed apon standards, this method can be very good. Of course, it gets better when you have a couple of programmers who can get a lot of things done quickly.
I have a book you should read. It is Genesis and the Big Bang by Gerald L. Schroeder, Ph.D. Dr. Schroeder is an applied physicist and an applied theologian with undergraduate and doctoral degrees from MIT. In the book he explains that in reality the two theories (Genesis and Evolution) are really not at odds with each other. I saw a show with this guy and he impressed me. The book is still on my to read list, but the talk he was giving was basically on the book. Definately worth reading no matter what side of the argument you fall on. I'm thinking about boning up on my physics before reading the book (just the basics).
Word Perfect is a great word processor. I use it on my system. Aside from the hundreds of dollars in price difference, I also got dragon naturally speaking for free included! Word Perfect allows you to control the document more. You g3et more power.
You forgot to mention Microsoft settled that lawsuit by paying Borland a huge amount of money and licensing Borlands technology. Before there was.NET, there was Delphi and C++ Builder. Both of these compile down to one common language before compiling to object code and eventually to executable or dll. Does this sound like something else? It should. It's what.NET does. Borland was doing that part of.NET before Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't really inovate very well. They assimilate technology from many sources into one product. That's it.
That still doesn't make the database right! In America you are still inocent until you are proven guilty (assuming you are a legal US citizen and not a prisioner of war). I wouldn't be surprised if this loses in court. If someone is arested "just in case", then they are starting to take away the persons right to choose his/her own actions whether they are good or evil. In essence they are almost forcing the person to chose crime.
Riddles won't help. It only shows you have a good ability to solve a riddle. Debuging and programming can't be interviewed the way most companies do it now. It seems to me that the problem in this persons case is they have too many interviews. They are over-analyising the person. A good programmer may tend to think more in abstract terms than the technical rules. Rules can be looked up as needed, but being able to abstract the idea and write the solution in a varying choice of languages is completely different.
Algorythms come and go, looking for a programmer based on what algorythms they know is stupid and useless--all it proves is ythe person has book learning and nothing more.
What's missing from the applicants skills can always be trained. Phamlen seems to be doing what most companies have been doning they look for book learning type skills. They want someone whose skills exactly match what they are looking for in a programmer, and that WON'T always work.
Don't forget to mention that ODBC 3.x is based on open specs. I believe it's Call Level Interfaces. Anything before 3.0 was based on preliminary specs, with 3.0 ODBC adheres more to the standard. As long as you use ANSI SQL while staying away from as much as possible, you can accomplish what you want.
Compuserve and AOL are two different things. AOL has more freedom to change things on Compuserve. AOL is obligated to keep IE in the AOL code in order to keep there icon on the desktop with windows installs. Microsoft & AOL went to blows about it a year or so ago. Now that Mozilla 1.0 has been released though, AOL has a lot more power when it comes to bargaining because they can switch to mature open source code if they get removed from the desktop on windows installs. If I remember correctly, I think it was a four year agreement.
If this person figured out how to time travel...well, let's just say this person won't have the time to use it. Think about it. We can't get along as it is. Do we want fanatics and crazies going through time? We can mess things up enough already. I say, if you discovered anything like this, burn it and keep your mouth shut. We are not ready for it.
I haven't gotten that email from them yet, but there is a job search engine like that. You post your resume and sign up for email with jobs matching your criteria. I got three from them. Then send you jobs on the other side of the country for the free part, but they list a lot of jobs in your area under the premium section. In order to get the job listings that are relevent to you, you have to pay them money. It smells very fishy, so I maintained my strict policy of not spending money over the internet. I refuse to pay for saomething like that.
I have noticed that a lot of the arcades seem to be adjusting the tilt of the pinball machine (using the legs) so that the tilt is a bit extreme and it is harder to play. I guess they want fewer free games.
Only one laptop was brought to the NH Meetup, and he shall remain nameless;) because he walked right by his brother and the rest of us and circled the restaurant. It never came out at all.
Cats rule. There is one main difference between a dog and cat when it comes to their relationship with humans. You become a dog's master, and you befriend a cat because you will never truely break a cat.
The first thing I did when I got home was boot up the computer to send it in because I remembered the comment about sending in a review of it. Did you catch the comment about the new karma being explained int he FAQs?
They could always come up north to New Hampshire. We had a great time--even though only 5 out of 22 showed up. It will be a while before they forget us. They didn't understand how we could be meeting people that we've never met before. The kept asking us how many was going to show up, and we said we don't know.
The meetup people did a decent job. They even booked a table--I assume it was them because we didn't have anyone sign up to be the host. I hope there is one next month. That was fun!!! What was the yellow thing in the sky though?
There must be some open source copyright's we can use against them to "protect our rights". Is the EFF a corp yet?
Seriously, this will cause more internet trafic, and then people and companies can sue the entertainment industry for messing with there business. Hmmm... Would this mean AOL would have to sue itself on behalf of it users?
Everything I have seen about this seems to indicated you run it once and it tells you about potential security holes. Granted for most techies that is not useful, but for the average layman out there, it is a great things...especially on those Microsoft machines.
You've obviously never watched his show. If you had, you'd know the answer to that already. He covers the hows and whys of cooking down to a scientific level. For instace, on one show he explained egg whites and what happens when you whip them up--and how to get them perfect.

He didn't go because they never got the money to send him up there. It's not like someone had a moral scientific backbone.

Do what I did. Rent this one and plan on bying the next version.

Here is the person and quote I was telling you about:
Raven
Why my piggy!?! I love-ed you, piggy! I love-ed you.
Any idea where that quote is from?

Vote for a venue other tha a bar. In NH ours was at TGI Fridays. I think Chili's would have been better.

You're welcome to next time!

I think he is also on Wed nights (at 9pm). If I remember correctly, one of the shows is behind the other as far as episodes go.

I thought wzWindows also was more encompassing than QT.
