I've tried opening old Ms Doc files in new versions of Word, going from windows 98 to XP. I honestly can't recall the particular versions of office in use. I'm going to guess word 98 and word 2000 though. I've also seen major headaches with incompatibilities between different versions of Access (or trying use a db created in an older version of Access with new version) although I didn't deal with that directly.
Expensive upgrades shoved down your throat by forced upgrades due to designed incompatibilities with previous versions? Why can't newer versions of office access all the older versions?
in the name of freedom, while you're at the same time trying to argue that I don't have the 'freedom' to make my own choice" are "hypocritical."
Had to read the whole article to see how Linus is calling the FSF hypocrites. Obviously the FSF is more concerned about the freedom of the end users than the freedom of the Developers. I could just as easily call Linus a hypocrite, b/c if he was so concerned about freedom he wouldn't be using GPL but would instead be using BSD. His comment about equating morality with legality is also rather rediculous... where does he think all laws come from? They're not randomly generated. The same guiding forces that create one's morals/ethics are then used to create laws. The laws of a society tend to be an amalgam of the ethics/morals of those in charge. How else could it be?
Check out Groovy and Grails if you haven't already. Groovy runs on the jvm and although its a different language than java it works seamlessly. Java can use/call groovy classes and groovy can call java classes. There's all sorts of nifty new language features such as closures that should keep you from being bored. Grails is like ruby on rails for groovy although you use your domain objects as starting point instead of your db tables.
"garage" - what the fuck? You're a stupid shit. The word is "garbage" you moron. That kind of error tells me that you don't read, ever. It's a typical error made by someone who is only accustomed to the spoken word. Therefore, you are swine. Since you don't read books and you're a fucking average piece of garbage, my advice to you is to go fucking kill yourself.
My experience was/is similar to yours. I ended up graduating with a GPA of 2.56 after spending a couple of years on the Deans list. Working full time, taking a few years off in the middle, changing curriculums, and sick parents all took their toll (along with the perequisite partying in college).
First, I want to say, not a single employer has asked for my GPA at an interview. I'm not sure how typical this is, probably more so the more experience you have and the longer it has been since your graduation. In this regards I'm happy I didn't wait.
Second, It took me a year to find a real job (I graduated right as the internet bubble burst) so yeah I could of easily spent another year "repairing" my GPA. I then found out I would have been eligible for free tuition to the Grad school if my GPA had been a 2.6 (and I failed to find a job within a year of graduation). Which really bummed me out.
Lastly, the thing that I'm currently concerned about is I would like to go back and get my Master's in CS. Every job I have in the last few years has had tuition reimbursement of one sort or another. My only problem is almost every school requires a GPA of 3.0 (or 2.6 with probationary period). I've been told that several years of work experience will make up for the deficiency, but I've yet to see that in official form and I haven't applied to any schools yet to test the theory.
So ask yourself what do you want to do after school? What is important to you? can you afford to go to school for another year (your asking so I assume its an option). How long have you been there? Whats the job market like where you live? If its particularly 'hot' you might want to get a job and experience before things change. If its not, you probably have nothing to lose by going to school for another year (other than tuition and time).
Wow modded flame bait, just for stating my opinion. Oh well maybe if I mentioned having karma to burn, I would have been modded insightful. I think its going to flop much like the ps3. Its too damn pricey for most people to just pick it up and it isn't going to play nicely with business people who are hooked into their crackberries anyhow. I don't *want* it to fail, I want a reasonable facsimile at a reasonable price with a reasonable amount of openness. If its iphone or something else I don't care.
Who thinks this is going to flop? and by flop I mean be nowhere near as successful as the I-pod and probably less successful than the Mac? maybe more successful than the newton?
I don't see how either of your statements are relative. What the recipient does with received mail/email is not relevant. Of course the sender expects the person to whom the mail was addressed to open it. If the sender doesn't get the address correct they can't expect it to not be opened by the person it is addressed to. If it happened to "bounce" to an admin account, I don't see any reason thee admin would need to read it, but if the contents come up on the screen that is the fault system/software.
So yeah I would say most people have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their emails.
No, you are simply wrong. A carrier (a human being) picking up a post card cannot help but to see the text. He may choose not to read it, but it is visible. An email passing through someone else's router is not going to be seen by human eyes by accident. It will not "flash" across a monitor, it will not be opened and read with out specifically and purposefully being opened.
It's exactly like sending a postcard in that anyone who picks it up (ie whose server forwards it) can read it
Thats like saying any postal carrier can open your letter and read it (this too is true) but you don't expect it. They still have to open it unlike a postcard.
There is no more expectation of privacy in a plaintext email than there is in an open-face postcard.
I'm sorry but that is utter nonsense. Maybe not to you, and maybe not to who ever modded your comment up. I don't expect anyone to read my email other than the recipient. That's an expectation. I don't see how anyone who doesn't open my email will be able to read it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but its not a typical part of an email server to display the contents of all messages passing through it onto a monitor somewhere is it?
No, I'd say its absolutely nothing like sending an open postcard.
If you want privacy, take steps to encrypt it, not unlike putting a letter in a sealed envelope (as it pertains to the law, not ease of circumvention). This will be overturned, and with good reason.
Yeah I don't think this is reasonable either.. thats like saying if you don't want to be searched hide your stuff better. Utter nonsense.
I thought there exists a species of gecko (mourning gecko I believe is the common name) that did reproduce through parthogenisis as a rule and not the exception.

My father brought one home too... but I was far to young to consider hacking it or probably even play it competently. I can only remember some light gun game with ghosts and "colorforms" that you stuck on the tv screen.
"This really is write once and run anywhere," he said, reiterating a 12-year-old slogan for Java. The long-range plan is to make it so applications can be written to run on all platforms." Yes, that was Java's long-range plan as well. Note that so far, it has not succeeded.
You and others keep saying that... yet I at every job I've had we've developed/run our apps under windows and then deployed to linux servers using the same source and compiled byte code. I've yet to see it not succeed. Unless you're being disingenuous and saying its not successful b/c it doesn't run on a dead badger or some such thing.
The only thing that could possibly make sense to me... is that somehow someway the crime involved servers or computers existing located in the US. If that is the case this makes sense. Just like the UK extraditing the hacker that broke into NASA machines. If not then I don't know which government is being more despicable the US or the Australian on second thought I'd say the Australian government because they are failing horribly to protect their own citizens.
You are. You assume you know that animals can't reason or think about things and apply them differently. Do you really for a moment think the researchers trained the monkeys to be prostitutes for the washers/money? No thats an instance of the monkey's reasoning and thinking about new and other ways to garner their sweets. Is the ability of the monkey's to reason and think about the training as sophisticated as our ability? probably not, but it seems like it should be judged on a case by case basis as there are some truly stupid people out there.
How about a DS lite? with an r4ds card or something similar? Two screens, wifi, nice touch interface. If you could get a gps device to plug into the gba slot it would be really nice.
My brother is a "County Attorney" and he most certainly does both, especially in small podunk counties (like I'm guessing all counties in Montana are).
When amazon goes around enforcing there 1 click patent, they pick small weak targets. Surely some large corporation could file an Amicus curiae. My point is though anyone wanting to sue you-tube was not to get rich, no they just wanted to squelch it.
You're missing the point. The lawsuit wouldn't be about collecting a fat paycheck, but about killing the competition and possibly "video online." You tube before had no money and no money to defend itself... Google has lots of money to defend itself, add to that they spent 1.6 billion this says they are going to defend their new purchase with lots of capital.
I think the state should just give 20 thousand dollars to anyone under the age of thirty who willingly has a vasectomy. No strings attached if they want to reverse it later in life fine, but they're paying for that operation. If they want to have their seed harvested from them or stored before hand, thats fine too, but they're paying for it themselves.
Maybe the advertising collapse happened because one company owns the entire market? And they own the entire market by giving away so much stuff for free? I'm just pondering here notseriously implying anything, but that sounds similiar to something MS did with OS's and media players/browsers etc. I'm sure someone will come along and tell me why I'm wrong which is fine.
My day job is Web development (mostly java, although I've done some c# and vb) so the sql isn't a problem although I'm shocked that you'd find use for it in configuring a pvr/dvr. I've built several of my own computers from commodity parts the problem is they never seem stable for much more than a year. I'd blame windows, but I think ends up being the hardware configurations or maybe just crappy products from TigerDirect? I guess I'll just have to start putting together a shopping list and be more careful about checking hardware compatibility.
diskless? What do you mean? No harddrive? I'm by no means a Linux expert (though I've been comfortably running kubuntu at home as my primary computer for several months now), and have been thinking about trying to setup a dvr with an hdtv card and possibly wean myself from the cable company. I have a few extra pc's laying around the only one that is stable though is a via epia (roughly 1ghz) the rest are old amd's that got flakey after a year (2900xp and an 1800xp) or two.
How much time, effort, and money is needed to setup a HD dvr using myth? I know I can google this stuff, but I value the opinions and hear the experiences from actual people over whatever google turns up.
