When hiring, I don't care what qualifications a person has, if they are the best and know their stuff, then I want to work with them.
Bigger companies might care about qualifications, but smaller ones want people who know what they are doing and can problem solve quickly, not some kid from uni with a degree (I went to uni and know how easy they are).
Experience and enthusiasm count, not drive to become a middle manager on a bloated salary
It wouldn't matter if you were right or wrong, as long as the steps you took to get to your conclusion were sound.
In maths classes back when i was at school, almost all the marks were given for showing your working and not for getting the correct answer.
Learning that (x + 1)^2 = x^2 + 2x + 1; is pointless unless you you can work it out using first principles. Otherwise you wouldn't have a chance at working out (x + 1^2 - 4/2)^2 (I would put simple arithmetic and fractions in questions to trick my cousins when i was teaching them)
I doubt the sony team could make something as well as the revolution controller for a number of reasons,
The Rev controller has been in development for years, it has dedicated hardware (both pickups and processing chip) (From what i understand) it's designed to be highly extendable. it's the primary controller for their new console
I have no doubt that it will be anything but highly responsive and have plenty of developers making games for it.
If you think that this knock off will even get released in all countries then you are mad, let alone be a rev "killer".
That should read "HDTV adopters screwed by HD-disc rules"
Because I can't see any advantage to the end user by any of these rules.
Will it be easier to make backups - No Will it be easier to play it on all the devices around your house - No Will i beable to skip the 2-30 minutes of copyright ads + trailers to watch a movie - No Will the image quality be higher - Only if you have the right hardware (the confusing HD standard means up and down sampling will reduce the quality even more if you HDTV isn't the right native resolution) Will you beable to sell the disks on to friends/second hand market - No (At least from my understanding so correct me if i'm wrong) Will it reduce the cost as no one will be able to pirate anymore - No, This will be hacked within a few months of it coming out the same way CSS was
"If I pirate will my life be easier than going the legitimate route" should be the one question that these media content owners need to answer. And they fail over and over again
I don't see the difference between using allofmp3 and just downloading from bittorrent/soulseek.
I choose to use emusic as the artists get some money, and the RIAA sees that there is demand for none DRM'd music. Hopefully they will see the light od day and add some of there bigger labels so i can download some of my fav bands
I think the real danger is walking out in front of a car, or worse a bus, becaues lets face it, your not going to look properly if you have mario kart in your hands!
I think that the first problem is that people WILL BE expecting the ps3 to run at 1080p and now that the Sony marketing machine has done it's job, it will be difficult to de-program people.
Second, is that no-one on this planet seems to understand what a native resolution is, if you have to upscale or downscale you will lose picture quality! Having a 1080p output (which almoat 0% of hdtv support as their native resolution) and a 720p hdtv. means that you will lose information and that picture quality will be WORSE that using a 720p output!
It's sad, but people care more about boosting and stats than actual performance, hell I doubt if anyone could tell the difference
Didn't something similar happen with the Hubble telescope. The original flaw caused by a chip in the testing equipment causes it to be a high resolution for that flaw, so they had to map the flaw and correct it somehow.
Aren't alot of the newer telescopes working by correcting the flaws rather than making them bigger and more prefect?
The problem isn't the charset you write in. Even if you are using a iso8859-1 and type a chineese character in, your broswer will convert it to the iso-8859-1 entity code, so probably which slashdot should convert into unicode to handle and display properly
But slashcode just seems to fuck it up and display all the wrong stuff, my guess is they are displaying utf-8 but sending a iso-8859-1 header, mislabeling the content.
A string is not a node set. innerHTML just sticks some string in CDATA and plops on the DOM. I'm sure that browsers will try and stick it in the DOM but as you don't have to supple innerHTML a well formatted string, there are no guarantees. document.innerHTML('blah &b <lah> lalala&'); is valid javascript, but it certainly isn't valid XHTML.
innerHTML isn't deprecated, it's just that it's in a grey area. What you are doing is inserting a character data node into the DOM not element nodes. So accessing the data again shouldn't be possible (although i imagine many browsers will fudge this for you just like the good old days)
It's a shame that most people who code xhtml have no idea about the specs and create hideously invalid pages. It's like people don't care about character encoding and it can make site completely invalid very quickly. How many pages become invalid if I submit a ࣠to a form for preview?
People don't seem to understand the difference between comments and CDATA (think javascript code), almost no-one writes data into the DOM correctly with javascript (document.write() and innerHTML are wrong and makes a page no longer xhtml as the content is not written into the DOM.)
Hell I see people who can't even encode ampersands.
I like to ask them their views on html and xhtml. The correct answer isn;t to jump into bed with xhtml just because it is a buzz word, but to use the right code in the right situation. If your code isn't in a guaranteed xhtml safe environment use html (that is 95% of the time IMHO) - i've seem people putting xhtml code into pages that are written in html, and don't even have a docutype!
Slashdot Mirror
To run a business sometimes you have to give out access to your machine
Isn't that the point of Office 12 (or what ever it is called now).
Their new menu could be really useful in allowing their users to use all these new features that exist today.

I love this feature as well, it has changed the way I use other features as well.
I tend to do quick searches on words/acronyms and look up offtopic subjects in wikipedia for a quick overview.
Then I rockback to the page I was at in the blink of an eye!
ps. I use Opera though/
So shouldn't he trust email from me and the rest of the family?
I'm not looking forward to the day he starts getting spam, and explaining the concept of an "unsafe sites"
Try explaining that to your 80 year old grandparents.
Hell even my parents struggle with that one.
Hell even my sister struggles with that one.
lol, so obviously simple

Didn;t the royal mail in the uk have a simular, where if you were on time for work and did a good job you got entered into a prize draw to win stuff
You have no idea what any of this is about

No, the same cartoons in Arab new papers months ago without a hint of protests and death threats.
Hypocrisy? Yes.

innerHTML doesn't do that, the browser does! which makes the technique incompatible with xhtml.
The problem isn't the charset you write in. Even if you are using a iso8859-1 and type a chineese character in, your broswer will convert it to the iso-8859-1 entity code, so probably which slashdot should convert into unicode to handle and display properly
But slashcode just seems to fuck it up and display all the wrong stuff, my guess is they are displaying utf-8 but sending a iso-8859-1 header, mislabeling the content.
It would just put it into the DOM as CDATA, your browser would treat it as html and try and parse it. It's not XML though, so it's not XHTML.
I see innerHTML as lazy, it only takes a few moments to create a proper node set. String manipulation is so 1990.

createNode and attachNode just like the old days :)
Check out http://script.aculo.us/ for a javascript class called Builder, works well.

it seems slashdot can't handle my foreign character :) and displays ã instead.
