The way we run it, we use a set version of the library for a page.
We decided to go wtih jquery + plugins. So for one site I use one version of jquery. We will not update that jquery for that site (baring security updates). If the customer needs more work done, we use that same version of jquery.
Now a new project needs done, now we move to a new version of jquery. When the customer needs a major design change, that is the time to change the tools. Otherwise, if it's not broke, don't fix it.
This is a great way to do it. I often start out college kids with this as a introduction to programing in the class I teach. Of course we move on quickly to real languages.
I'll check when I get home. If this is the case, firefox's autoupdate on mac is horribly broken. Every other app I use prompts me for my admin user/pass prior to updating or fails gracefully for me to update myself as the admin user.
Actually, I'm trying to figure this out on my mac. Last night I got the update popup. I clicked yes and realized I was not an admin. I waited for it to prompt me for my admin user/pass or just error out, but it said it completed successfully.
Well Linus has said 2.6 forever anyways, so the same problem applies now. But the answer is just do major changes like that once a year at a max. Then they can just keep patching it as 2008.whatever.
Oh boo fucking hoo. I ruined your day. Too fucking bad.
I was posting a social commentary about how this government calls everything it does not like terrorism.
It is a simple FACT that the US government is torturing innocents at this very second. My joke is not a joke about torture, it is a joke about the very fabric of this nation.
You might find it offensive, I really don't give a shit. There is nothing left to do is this nation but sit back and watch it all fall apart (or get tortured to death as a traitor/terrorist).
If a company is not auditing the computers it allows on their network, then they are a open network.
Is it the fault of the user who brings a notebook with a virus on it that infects the entire network, or the IT staff for not insuring he was running anti-virus before allowing him access?
All of my companies drives are encrypted with truecrypt. NO need to worry about wiping anything. However something like this might make it easier to verify a notebook was indeed 'stolen' when a loner laptop given to a student turns up missing or a recently fired employee decides to claim the same.
Very true, but once could argue that applications that complex are best handled via the distro vendor, or the software developers support staff and installer.
The majority of user apps for mac however are just dmg files with app files inside. Only huge programs like photoshop are pkg's. And those (in theory) would get support from the vendor.
I agree. I have had far more stability using gtk apps then qt apps. I have also had far more stability using gnome then kde.
Truth be told, as a user, I don't care much about the technical aspects of each. I just want stable programs that look great with a feel that matches the rest of my desktop and integrates into the environment.
As a developer, I want a stable, well documented, api and good ide support.
Right now I like gtk because it meets that criteria better (in my opinion).
I'd happily switch to anything that does the job better. I do not see a point in switching to anything that does the job just as well.
Time machine totally saved my ass last week. I accidentally deleted a few very important files. Time machine made it about a 5 second process to recover them.
This is what I liked about gentoo. You can usually decide what libs are included and not (as long as the program can be compiled with or without the support).
Most normal distros just pick what is best for the most people.
My bigger fear is blizzard adopting a stance of no in house mac ports (their mac support has always been so top notch) or even worse, using cider to port their games to mac.
I should become a reseller of best buy to ubuntu. I have 50 copys right now on my desk that I got for free. I'd sell em to best buy to sell for 1.00 each + shipping.
I think it is funny that someone would spend 20.00 for something ubuntu.com will mail you for free.

My problem stems from laws that require me to cater to people I may not even care about as customers.
For example, lets say I sell stairmasters. If I do not install a wheelchair ramp, I might get sued. Does that make any sense?

Correction, I was meaning to say "I hope this is not the case".

I'm really confused.
PS, i'm just trolling you. But you are too blind to see it.
Personally, I'm all for torture of the innocents. It will help the people rise up and fix this god damn country. So please, torture this guy.

I'd be happy with just
year.patchlevel
2008.0, 2008.1, etc.

You are either with me, or against me.
Screw hacking, this is domestic terroism, send him to gitmo and waterboard him!!!! Think of the children!
Of course if they don't change the root password....

I prefer the mac way of installing via just drag and drop the app file into your applications directory (or any other directory).
I personally think that would be a much better default for 3rd party (non-repo) provided applications.
Sure, you waste hard drive space, but right now that is not a concern.

I think it is funny to think you could possibly know what is best for you. Think of how horrible your country would be if adults had good video games?
Amen

I have no sense of humor today, sorry :-p
Care to point to some proof? My google returns nothing.
