Well I'm working mainly as a project manager nowadays but I used to code a lot. So I know what is like. The only solution I found is to give "micro tasks". Basically any task I give should be accomplished within a day...So my job is mainly to divide jobs to suit that logic...And it works...Most of the time (it doesn't work well on Friday:-) ).
I wish you would be right. We just finished a large extranet for some lobbying organizations. Most of their members are heavy industries. We discovered along the road that around 20% of their members still use Internet Explorer 6 and any update are blocked by their IT department, they have no plans (yet???) to replace their activeX web based services. The only solution? Sniffing browser and creating a "light" version...
those users can safely surf over the Internet with this browser.(can you imagine...)
Conclusion: IT departments transferred all the cost of their laziness upon our shoulders. They spent mot of their time hunting down viruses on their intranet.
Mercedes, BMW, Audi...Yes...but Lexus, here in Europe (well in my country anyway) they are still branded as BMW wannabes. Price...Design...Aren't enough. You need history, fans, design, sex appeal...I mean You need a soul.
When I was 12, all I wanted to do was cool 2D animated stuffs.
I fear that Python as such may be a bit too dry for a kid (I'm far from being a python expert;-))
Why not Lingo? (Macromedia Director)
http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/Lingo/programming.htm
(I don't know this language, but it seems to me that the syntax is pretty straightforward)
Same for me on Compaq laptop almost a year ago. I had to find non-official packages to make it run with my SuSE. It took me hours. Those packages have finally been added to the repos few months after. I don't critize nobody, I'm mean they do a great job and this is free, so what could you say? Anyway the fact is WI-FI is often difficult to install on Linux and you have to know it. Ideally you would have to document yourself on the wifi used by the laptop you plan to purchase first (a thing I never do:-)). Just like printers support few years ago.
Claiming that there is no problem won't help anybody IMHO.
Being Belgian and their neighbors...Dutch people tend to speak English rather well. But their knowledge of other languages (except German maybe) is rather a myth.
If you are looking for real polyglot, I suggest you to choose Flemish. They usually know French and English quite well and Dutch which is their native tongue....Learning German is easier for them (a lot of common roots) Just like for Dutchmen, . Franck De Winne is a perfect example of that fact (he knows, Dutch, English, Russian and probably other languages as well).
I'm a French speaking Belgian, so well let's say that I can't be considered as biased on the topic;). The fact that I know English, Dutch and French would not impressed anybody in Flanders...Actually it will be considered as "normal". A good Belgian and nothing else (except maybe that I should learn German too, which is the third national language)
Yes, when you see a little "d" it is usually used for noble title. It has been influenced by the French "etiquette".
For the non-beneluxians.:-)
"De" in Dutch means literally "the". for example: Jan De Boer (John the Farmer), Jacques De Ridder (Jacques the rider/the knight), etc.
When you see names like Van Den Berg (it means from the hills), Jean-Claude Van Damme (Jean-Claude from Damme -> a Belgian town).
There is no form of nobility in those names so you use capital letters.
On the other hand: The King is in French "Albert de Belgique" or in Dutch "Albert van België").
First: The European culture is not "just" the Western European culture.
Second see where most of Russians live. How they look like, What kind of language they speak (slavic language), their culture (their gifts to the European culture, classical music, literature), their religion (orthodox), their classical architecture, etc. The conclusion is so obvious (?).
I'm Belgian and frankly it is the first time I see people claiming that Russia is not an European nation. The need of a western civilization in front of the current world affairs may explain this "new" definition.
I did their test and I score 80%. I failed on their racist/extremist stuff, coming from a country crippled by those fascists/extremists, I still have difficulties to accept Hitler's fans promoting their agenda on my doorstep after the ravage they have done to the whole Europe.
Well Currently I pay let's say 50% of my turnover to the state (VAT, taxes, etc.). I work 10 hours per day, except Sunday. I'm not workaholic, but I have no choice. There are certainly enough work for a new employee. I can't. It would be too expensive (his salary + taxes). So basically those 50% of the my turnover are used mainly to pay the unemployment benefit of someone I could hire.
Of course they are a bit extreme. I won't certainly vote for such a party. But basically I agree with the idea basic: a small/efficient state is way better.
There is a natural human tendency to grasp as much as power as you can. It is a human instinct. A state is a human organization so it has this instinct deep in its core. If you don't fight back, you will end up working half of your time for it, like I do right now.
Well I' ve got a 10 years old Golden retriever and I'm the uncle of 2 years old boy.
I love my dog, he seems to be reasonably smart for a dog but....
For example: my 2 year old nephew is "playing game" involving already quite elaborate abstract thoughts. For example he plays "battle" with soldiers...Well not a "big" battle with strategies and all, just two soldiers fighting each other. He is a fan of Tintin and he imagines himself as captain haddock and countless of abstracts thoughts and related activities such as those ones.
On the other hand...My dog is a dog! (great news:-)) Most of his games are rather straight forward (I grab this toy, you too, funny!).
Irony, humor, the 2 years old boy already understand those things. He also tries to make "joke".
Their capacity to stay focus....The 2 years old is light years ahead already.
Frankly I don't see the point to compare. They are just so "different", their intelligences are already so "different". I really wonder how you could compare them and how could you find anything meaningful out of this comparison.
A 2 years old boy is still in its infancy, a 2 years old dog is almost mature. On one hand you compare a being "under construction" with a fully grow up (functional/almost independent) being. What's the point?
In Latin, the word maurus (plural mauri) means coming from Mauretania...a Roman province on the north western fringe of Africa (-> Morocco) (see wikipedia)
So basically Moors means those from North Africa. They aren't sub-Saharan. The core people of the Moors were "berbers"...Not arabs but not black either.
If you need a real successful "black" civilization. I suggest you to take a closer look at the Nubian civilization. They fought for centuries against the Egyptians, the Greek dynasty and they finally crushed a Roman invasion. The defeat was so devastating, that the Romans signed a peace treaty and they never came back. The Nubian queen are famous (Amanishaketo, etc) nowadays due to recent discoveries.
Or the Ethiopian one, they succeeded to stop the early Muslim invasion (this where the legendary King John was supposed to live, European crusaders tried for years to get in touch with him to fight together the Muslims). They fought for decades against the Italians and they were the first to gain their independence. The famous city of Timbuktu having healthy intellectual/philosophical debates while Europe was experiencing inquisition, etc.
No, it is a marxist stance. And I'm Belgian not American.
The differences between a communist and a socialist is the path to their collectivist society.
Communist will do it by revolution while socialists will do it by reforms.
This is why they left the last "international" end of the XIXth (along with anarchists).
See the funding documents of Socialist parties around Europe (Charte de Quaregnon in Belgium for example).
But yes I agree they have changed and now they promote social-democracy as they call it. Anyway it wasn't the point, the real point was the battle between socialist and catholics in the XIXth...And there are even traces of these epic battles in today politic.
Lol...Socialists banning blasphemy? Do you seriously expect to be taken seriously?
Does "Religion is the opium of the people" ring any bell?
The Church has nothing to do and that's true. It is simply well known that the Irish society is "very" traditional (divorce was only introduced in the 90's).
The leading party of the Irish government is Fianna FÃil. A liberal party. The rest of the coalition is composed by a green party and independents. There is no socialist party in the coalition AFAIK. Stop using Socialism like a buzzword to describe any political event in Europe. It is simply ridiculous.
I have worked with one of them working for a quite large French IT company. She was 1.95m tall. Probably the most incredible programmers I have never worked with. A real math genius. Frankly the first day is weird, you basically see a basket ball player dressed as a woman...And then slowly you get used to it. She was a real pro and we were glad to have her in the team. That's their life and they can do whatever they want with it, not my problem.
On my laptop? mmmh I think around 4 hours. 1 hours of installation. 3 hours for a wifi bug.
It's dual boot, KDE for daily work and a Vista installation when I need it (mostly checking web sites I'm working on).
Frankly it was worth my time. I don't need any AV, most attacks are aimed at windows not linux. So life is cool...The only thing I can be concerned about is pishering...But well I'm a web developer, I'm supposed to know those things:-).
Should it be the solution for the average user? No (see 3 hours for the wifi bug). Should it be the solution for a technical guy like me? Yes.
I work nights and don't drink alcohol, which excludes me from nearly everything. My main hobby is working on a website about a subject so niche that it takes people from half a dozen states to form a small group interested in it, and my other hobbies are solitary activities. When it comes to other people, the "real" world seems to revolve around mind games, vapid conversation, and lying to and about yourself, all of which I abhor, and would do so even if I were able to form coherent sentences around someone I find attractive. The only woman I ever loved rejected me completely, destroying the remnants of my self-esteem, my desire to succeed, and my faith. As a matter of fact, she is getting married today.
Well I'm 34. I noticed some of my experiences mid 20's. Here are few advices for you:
Stop watching so many porn. Women are not fantasy. Another problem with porn is that it biases your view on sexuality.
Believe it or not, Women need also to be seduced, if you look like a mess, you have no chance. Take care of yourself and your appearance.
Be realistic. If you are overweight, you have more probability to seduce another overweight person. If you seriously want to seduce a fit person, well have a diet (I did, it works). Yes they are superficial...Just like you. Do you seriously expect them to be better than you on that topic?
Relearn to "smile"...Women are looking for a nice partner to have "nice time" with...They aren't looking for a depressed person to take care of.
Be "friendly" and once you notice common interest, say openly what you really think. Don't try to play games or hide your feelings...If you do it, they will find you aren't serious and you become a threat, not an opportunity.
Forget all these cliches you have eaten since your childhood. A girl hasn't to be like a fashion model to be desirable. There is a whole world between a fashion model and an ugly cow.
In this world there are around 50% of men and 50% of women...So there "must" be a girl feeling lonely just like you.
If you really want to meet a woman, go out. Try to find a place where you can actually meet women. There are plenty of places dedicated to single people anywhere in Europe or in the USA...Well anywhere on earth actually. Turned that f** pc off each weekend.
Look around you, I'm sure there is an idiot who actually got married and he seems to be happy. If he could do it, why not you?
Don't expect that she will first introduce herself. It rarely happens, and for most of us it never happens:-). Introduce yourself first. Again in a simple and friendly way. Don't force your chance either. Be cool and patient.
Do not focus yourself on a single woman. You aren't in a relationship you are free to (and you must) keep all options open.
inquisitorial legal system used by France is based on a "juge d'instruction" aka investigating magistrate. Basically this magistrate investigates "a charge et a decharge" which means that she/he is more like a supercop with fullpower and an obligation of objectivity. The only thing he can't investigate are cases involving senators and/or ministers (without the parliament approval) or the state secrete affairs. Once his/her works has been done, another judge leads the trial. "La verite juridique" (the legal truth) is what matters.
Simple, did you try their unsubscribe form with a fake email address? It doesn't work. (broken path in the form action)
They are based in Baltimore (their servers at least). Their hosting company is http://dynamicdolphin.com/
What are you waiting for? You could make some money:-).
Slashdot Mirror
Someday maybe a HURD distribution will be released,
You see the difference is the "maybe". We hear this "maybe" for years, since 1991 as far as I know. I was 16, I'm 36 now.
Well I'm working mainly as a project manager nowadays but I used to code a lot. So I know what is like. The only solution I found is to give "micro tasks". Basically any task I give should be accomplished within a day...So my job is mainly to divide jobs to suit that logic...And it works...Most of the time (it doesn't work well on Friday :-) ).

Being a Belgian, I confirm! :-)
But I prefer to go to the UK nowadays...The sterling is still quite low. Well if the Eurostar works of course.

If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys
They are also used by most PHP based web sites using the session feature.
What's the point to ask:

Do you agree [Yes] [No]

From a simple customer fairness perspective, Amazon's customers purchased the book in good faith.
And for potential buyers like me, the perspective is even simpler.
Even my government hasn't such a power.
So you don't believe in free speech when the groups exercising it are advocating for something that most would find offensive?
Yes.
I did their test and I score 80%. I failed on their racist/extremist stuff, coming from a country crippled by those fascists/extremists, I still have difficulties to accept Hitler's fans promoting their agenda on my doorstep after the ravage they have done to the whole Europe.
