So first they cap newsgroups, people keep paying. Next they remove newsgroups and people keep paying. Then they cap your internet access and people keep paying. Soon they will remove internet access and hope people keep paying.
I highly doubt the tech world gets revolutionized so quickly that you would not be aware of the best tools to do your job.
Or maybe you are one of those guys who has to ask slashdot what IDE to use for python/java/php/etc for his next project.
I keep abreast of technology and I am aware of the trends and direction of my business. It is very rare that I am surprised by something. I explore new technology, and if it is valuable, it goes on the list.
Is your job really that random? Are there really professional programmers out there discovering new IDE's on a daily basis? Are there oracle DBA's out there shocked to find out about new tools? You make it sound like professionals just stumble around the internet and are like "Holy shit! I just discovered photoshop, I can stop using paint now!"
Replacing our Xiotech San.
Implementing a proper backup system.
Developing all sorts of web applications.
Replacing aging sun servers with new sun servers.
Installing a vmware esx blade server.
Migrating many of our dell linux servers to vmware esx virtual servers.
Implementing a reverse proxy system for load balancing for our main web application.
Implementing a buisness objections enterprise server.
Helping migrate our crystal reports into said server.
Upgrading our checkpoint firewall to new hardware and creating a cluster.
Finish testing all of our applications on oracle 10g.
Finish testing all of our applications on php5.
This is just a small sample of my work load. If you really have no idea what you are going to be doing for at least 6 months, you are probably a consultant or support.
We are only allowed to make purchases once a year. I simply make my request, they go on a capital list, we have a department meet and discuss why, then it is sent up for approval and i get my software.
I just make sure to plan for the year. It's not too hard. I know what my job is and I keep a good eye on what tools are out there to make it better/easier. Sure I can't have the latest Adobe product the day it launches, but I can get it the next capital cycle.
Delete file via keyboard âOE+backspace (usually named delete)
auto hide dock and/or move it to the left side of screen (left or right)
don't use itunes if you don't like it, I personally love it.
My apple came with a two button mouse. I simply had to tell osx to use it.
Seems like you simply do not know how to use the OS. No different then a linux user bitch about how microsoft does something, or a debian guy bitching about how solaris does something.
I have a agreement with a family member. I provide them a ssh account on one of my machines with 2TB of storage, they do the same for me. Then I use rysnc to backup my data into an encrypted volume.
I bought the game last night. It runs without the disk. It wants you to login to their servers to play, but I really don't care much about that. My bigger complaint is that the mac and the pc disk are the same. While it is nice that if I ever go back to windows I can use the same disk, I would like my sale to be reflected as a mac sale.
The game runs very smooth on my 2.5ghz mpb with 2 gigs of ram. So far I am happy.
I was going to get one, but I was told by my doctor not to. He said if I was ever in an accident where my hand was swelling that hospitals do not have the tools to cut Titanium.
Your saying every time I plan to walk away from my office I need to shutdown my computer, unplug it from the docking station, remove the battery, press the power button, put the battery back, and finally plug it back into the docking station?
Ram encryption would be kind of awesome. I wouldn't mind a hardware chip that encrypts/decrypts ram to the system and performs some kind of slight compression. It would prevent the full disk encryption hack of freezing ram chips to extract data from them after system shutdown.
Exactly, we selected jqeury. Everything now 'just works'. I still test on every browser we need to support, but the javascript just always works. CSS on the other hand...

As far as I known, 7zip uses a dll from winrar to do its compressing and decompressing of rar files.
So it should be exactly the same.

Personal computer - blue screen of death edition?
That's a horrible code name for vista!
I love TextMate. It's the greatest thing I've ever used for programing.
Maybe the answer is to sue microsoft if you get a MCSE who doesn't know windows from doors.
I mean they did certify that that person was qualified to manager your systems. If they are not, maybe they should be at fault.
You mean like that solaris 10 certification I'm working for? Or that MCSE all those guys go and get?
Seems the same to me.
I've had 2 interviews where I was given a 'test', solved it quickly and imho very well. Then they decided not to hire for that position.
Great way to get free work.
Apparently I typed in the icon for the command key wrong.
âOE = command key
Switch between apps - âOE+TAB
Switch between windows - âOE+~
Delete file via keyboard âOE+backspace (usually named delete)
auto hide dock and/or move it to the left side of screen (left or right)
don't use itunes if you don't like it, I personally love it.

lol, nope, we have a good 8 or 9 miles between us. The servers that is, my mom and I are a good hundred miles apart (thankfully).

What? Chrome is in beta......
I shouldn't have to go though questionable means to get to content I'm quite willing to pay for.
I'd be happy to just watch their damn videos. Hell I'd even pay a small subscription fee to do so. Providing it worked properly on mac and linux.
I was going to get one, but I was told by my doctor not to. He said if I was ever in an accident where my hand was swelling that hospitals do not have the tools to cut Titanium.
I'm not against the technology. I am against using that technology to limit what software or operating systems I can run on my purchased hardware.

I think encrypted ram would be much simpler.
Ram encryption would be kind of awesome. I wouldn't mind a hardware chip that encrypts/decrypts ram to the system and performs some kind of slight compression. It would prevent the full disk encryption hack of freezing ram chips to extract data from them after system shutdown.
Jquery makes it easy to work with different frameworks.

The future of the web is not crap like silverlight, it is crap like the iPhone and blackberrys. My code works on mobile browsers, does microsofts?
