Your panties are on fire. That's flat out wrong. You die, choose a new class, and boom, you're a new class. Simple. The more time you spend playing the more you can upgrade each individual class. Don't know which class you want to specialize in yet? Focus on common certifications that are applicable everywhere. You also can unlock additional weapons by simply playing. Have you actually touched the game? I was a beta tester for the past 8 months, and it is fantastic to play, and this issue simply does not exist.
And pesky bugs that persisted from the first alphas where the entire wireless networking stack would become corrupt after resuming from hibernation while connected to a wireless access point, requiring a full reinstall. Oh, and copy/paste that took 2 hours to copy a 100mb file. And hiding the majority of the configuration utilities from the home versions so that you couldn't fix issues that came up. Ram issues. It couldn't burn a full sized dual-layer DVD. Trying to get it to connect to a domain. The list goes on.
Unless you plan to pay the money for iCloud (whose free service SUCKS, btw), you need it to perform backups and synchronize with your music collection. Unless of course you do nothing but drink apple kool-aid the entire time and have no pre-existing music collection.
Having used it for a few weeks for development work, I have to say I wholeheartedly disagree with you. Now, I *was* using it in a VM, but still, absolutely pathetic as an OS. It felt half baked. The constant switching between interfaces was annoying and completely broke up the user experience. It was like the OS didn't know what it wanted to be.
Sadly nothing is going to change until the board gets rid of Ballmer. The guy is absolutely pathetic as a CEO, and has no sense of direction or vision. All he sees is what everyone else is doing and trying to keep up.
This was actually listed last year on several black/grey hat SEO websites to help dissect how google functioned. The upside is that with this wider exposure, google may change its policies a little.
Look up chip creep. It's very rare these days, but it can happen. Another risk of bad connections would be that lead-based solder is very difficult to find thanks to RoHS. Without lead, tin whiskers can kill electronics in pretty nasty ways, even with perfectly good solder joints.
Thank you guys, I was really starting to fret when I realized I was almost half way through the comments before I saw an actual interest in the cool puzzle in front of us. Nothing but jokes and snark... sort of disheartening.
Hm, that is actually a very, very good point about WWI. Though I'm not sure Austria wouldn't have gone so far without the blanket support of Germany, that's still a far cry from Germany starting the whole thing:)
Surprisingly well off - grew up on a simple farm, with crops, sheep, goats, and chickens. I have basic skills of craftsmenship. I have hand tools for planing wood, the annoying part is drying it (not hard, you can put tar on the ends of the board and then let it sit in a dry place for a year). I can make just about every type of food (and do so regularly because I have a passion for DIY food). I can brew my own beer (malting would be a challenge but not hard to figure out), wine, ciders, etc. I don't think it would be that bad, for me personally anyways.
It's very frustrating, as Germany is quite good at it. But no, it's like you mustn't mention the spying. You know, Germans are proud people too, and they should get their turn not being blamed every once in a while.
Germans are also very good at starting world wars.
I'll be worried about China when they have infrastructure to provide basic plumbing and waste removal to their entire country. Until they have the needs of their own people met, they simply cannot function as a superpower.
Huawei started by duping Cisco hardware, but now they make their own proprietary things. For instance, their telephony offerings (HSS, Integrated CSCFS) are pretty much unbeatable by anyone, including Cisco and Ericsson. Feature wise, compatibility wise, no one comes remotely close.
It's not a trade war disguised as national security, it's national security disguised as a trade war. There's been no evidence presented of any backdoors. I'm quite certain that by now, many intelligence organizations have taken the chips apart and scanned them down and if they'd found anything there would have been a reaction.
Lol, I'm not nearly wealthy enough. Just about 30 million cable modems though, which you talk to via SNMP (so I guess in a way yeah, it's kind of like a botnet?)
So, since you're responsible for the finances of your team, would you prefer to pay your sysadmin for 300 hours of work to walk to 600 workstations and manually make some changes, or pay him for 5 hours to write and test a shell/powershell script allowing him to go back to work?
It's because coding involves logically breaking down complex problems into simple steps. Now, when you have an entry level sysadmin (someone with 1-5 - sometimes less - years of experience) they basically do simple tasks. Reset a password, clean up an os, do installs, fix issues, etc - these are honestly trained monkey tasks that any geek squad kid can do. I know, I was one of them (before geeksquad, but the point stands). As they get further down their career paths they SHOULD start to undergo two changes. First they should be more proactive/less reactionary, and second, they should learn to plan before executing. Breaking down complex problems into functional components is an essential part of that design part. If you don't teach yourself to break things down into simple steps and specialized software/hardware, you're hamstringing yourself and your career.
Exactly - it comes down to a matter of cost very often. If you can spend a half hour throwing together a script to make a configuration change across, say, 2000 devices (or in our case, several million), it is far cheaper than trying to find a vendor solution, or having folks go out and do the work themselves. The vendor will often have maintenance fees and high initial costs for a tool that "sort of" does what you want. You can have people go out and pound pavement, but if you have 2000 devices and send out 50 people, and it takes each person 20 minutes to do the work on the device plus 30 minutes trave time, times 17$ an hour... well, that adds up fast too. Not to mention the opportunity cost and backlog of tickets that that would generate.

I've found KDE to be a joy to use these days. Unity isn't great but it does work.

Quick, we have to hurry before our cave superiority is compromised!

But...but... China has a whole 1 aircraft carrier!!!!!!
As for America's "proactive" foreign policy, no foreign army has set foot on American soil in anger since 1815.
The crew of the USS Arizona would like to have a word with you.

I wish you were right.

I disagree - if documentation is falling out of sync with the code, then whoever is writing the code isn't doing their job properly.

Psh, real men use goto statements.
