Although I may have been interested , I lost ALL interest when the author used the word ROBUST !
Didnt use of that word in IT die, and appropriatley so about 4 years ago ?
Every time and I mean EVERY time someone uses it I cant help think about a fat naked woman laying on a bed or couch (ala Reuben)
In a meeting once a Project Manager said we needed to "robustify" the interface, I went nuclear, and I mean NUCLEAR, I stood up on the conference table and pretty much verbally abused everyne in the room I had ever heard use the word, It had become so prevalant even customers were griping about staff members at our company using it out of context. After my tirade which was applauded by most in the room, whenever a new employee would use the word "ROBUST" someone would say better not let Chris hear you say that, The company had a habbit of having b-day parties for senior staff, on mine they got me a cake with a naked fat woman on it and the word ROBUSTIFY in BIG red letters....
Yup right on the nose and 18 incher SP , also my old Sheridan Carbine with a really scratched brass barrel, dono why but man was that thing a longballer. I acually had 2 kills in one game not even able to see the target I was pinned down and all I could expose was my gun, another fellow about 5 yars away was having gun problems but could see so he was directing my fire, long and accurate.
I built a modified barrel once that had a slot cut in the top, then a rubber stru in that slot, I had honed it outBIG , the rubber strip would impart a SERIOUS backward spin on the ball the thing would hook UP wildly, I could lob balls twice the distance of anyone else, the only problem was it used to love to break balls and wouldnt clean well so after you broke your first ball you had to change barrels.
Well I dono about your neck of the woods. Or what kinda redneck dipshit paintball you play
Here fields are limited to 300 FPS, for saftey reasons. As is MOST of the country
"a good paintball gun will let you dial in whatever you want, and get the ball there" Sure but its friggin stupid, you think you can fire a ball at high speed ? BULLSHIT, in a word, you every try to fire a paintball at > 500 fps ? 70 % of the time it just disentegrates in the barrel.
I have seen paintball guns modified to fire bolts (crossbow arrows) and blowdarts at some 600 FPS
MOST tournament regusltaions used to say that a paintball gun could NOT be externally adjustable, so fucktards didnt go aroung setting em up hot once the chrono'd
Ive been playing since 92, I have owned many guns the first few pumps, Tippman, I had an SMG 60 until you couldnt find balls anynmore (now you can again) and I had a coup[le of sheridan carbines, and pair of ORIGINAL Budd Orr Autocockers a PMI3 later renamed VM68 , I know all about ball placemnt and getting away with hot guns, I could field strip and turn up or down my PMI3 inside 30 seconds, they used to call me the Telephone Man (Reach out and touch someone) and guys would scream to the refs to chrono me , albeit it always came out at right around 300 fps.
A paintball gun typically fires ar 300 FPS , NOW Lets say they crank it up a bit for the increased payload and no need for a saftey threshold to homans. Ok now if youve ever been hit with a paintball at 450 fps, it hurs and hasforce behind it.
Firing that at a potentially explosive package with the limited range (300 ft) I think Ill just have to passon that one
Well when going through a really rough divorce (I had an easy one too) I was in serious fear , and justifably so of my Ex hacking accounts using some of my known Passwords , I like many others have a cycle of about 10 that are used interchangably. All these were , with the exception of 1 personal passwords. I found she was accessing my work mail and personal mail almost immediatley , Soooo I decided to have some fun with it, passing all kinds of bogus information into forged emails to myself. Then came court, she was ACTUALLY Stupid enough to bring up several points in court, my Attorney was aware and asked where she found this informationout, "Around, friends, etc" Bwwwahhaaaa talk about someone looking stupid she bought it hook line and sinker.
Sometimes easy to crack passwords are a GOOD thing:)
On another note, after I took her to the cleaners at court I decided to TIE one One, well....NEVER....and I mean NEVER....change you passwords while really drunk..it took me 2 days to reconfigure redit and reset all my passowrds I changed on that drunken celebration. I still have NO idea what some of them were or how I came to decide on their usage
I did get what you are saying, although on rereading my post I did not articulate it correctly.
"more non-democrat format" Well thats all a matter of prespective, it USED to be the NORMAL Democrat format, unfortunatley it isnt anymore, that was kinda what I was trying to say.
I will add, Foreign Policy is also a MAJOR difference, I am admittedly an Isolationist, nothing wrong with that, thats just how I am. I am of the opinion we could close our doors tommorow and end up ahead of the game, the return of manufacturing and innovation as well as more domestic production, lots of hazzards but tons of potential benifits at this point in the game.
There was a time when the main differences were Foreign Policy, Trade (Unions) and Economic, NOW its all about crap that dosent mean a thing to 90% of the population, 90% Of America could give a crap less if Gays can Marry, myself I never give it a though it isnt something that is worth the brain cycles.
IMHO You were DEAD on when you said , "there's no practical difference between "republicans" and "democrats"? They're ALL politicians, which means they throw their weight where it'll get them the most money and/or clout." Youre right, I feel the parties are ruled by the special interests, and its really sad its all boiled down to that. In the end they are all politicians....
I've been saying that for years, I am a democrat I am NOT a liberal, I am Pro-Gun and Pro-Life or Pro-Choice , depending on how you want to look at it (to a point 24 wks sounds reasonable to me) I am for capital punishment, and YES I am a Democrat, you see I am more keen on the Democrats financial plans, I am pro-union and I come from a family with a long history of Democratic ties
Then I get all these fucktards that say Ohhhh youre not a real democrat, piss off. 20 years ago a Democrat would have strung up a child molesting murderer just as fast as a Republican, a Democrat 30 years ago had NOTHING to do with Gun control and so on.
Being a Democrat does NOT mean you are a liberal, there are 2 groups that would like VERY much for you to belive that, 1) The LIBERAL Democrats who want people to belive there are many more just like themselves, and 2)The Republicans, but here in the Rust Belt, Ohio to be exact thats not the way things are, many Democrats are disgusted with the Party and vote Republican when it comes down to it
Me and Mine are just as guilty for the unfortunate state of the Democratic Party, many of them rode in on the Union vote for years.
I would think I would like to be a Libertarian IF I thought they could actually win anything.
Hmm, lets see Edison patented the phonograph, his patent specifically stated it was side to side vibration of the stylus/needle. Path and some others lisenced this patent, others like Victrola decided a run around on the patent, they maded it an up and down motion of the stlus, circumventing the patents and it still carries through to the Vinyl pressed today.
MANY Major innovations have been not only a result of the patent but finding a way around the patent and actually coming up with a BETTER way to do it as a result
It seem to me more and more patents are being ruled as invalid, If this is indeed the case why are they being assigned in the first place ?
When Edison patented many of his inventions they were as new and as alien as anything could be. Patent examination on these must have been pretty easy, even considering the entire process was manual.
I wonder how many patents would stand up to a further examination.
This deluge of bogus patents would seem to me to effect even the valid ones. If I tommorow came up with say a TRUE Anti-Gravity machine it would seem that everyone and their brother would try to get it invalidated for their own use. And I'm sore some people have patented Anti-Gravity machine that dont actually work, would these invalidate a patent that did actually work ?
I dont belive patents are bad, quite to the contrary I belive them neccesary, I think its their enforcment and their use in bullying that is wrong. If I come up with a whole new concept I would sure as hell want it protected. But as I said before the deluge of bogus patents would seem to put the whole process in question
Well I just bought 5 wireless USB and a Wireless router for my mothers rare bookstore. Its an old building and they wanted to move all the dataentry accross the hall into a newly leased area for sortign grading and listing books.
I cant remember what brand I bought first , Linksys maybe , SMC, I cant remeber, but I hooked everything up as the manual said (this was my first WiFi set up, so I actually read it) well, it didnt work, I could see the router but the router couldnt see the outside.
After an hour on the phone with tech support and some already dumb answers like OH thats your problem you HAVE to be at least 10ft away from the router and some other gems I finally asked this nitwit whose first language was NOT english (Indian) Was he inside the United States ? NO He replied he was not, "I am in California he said" I was rolling, I mean I always though of Cali as its own country , apparently others do too.
I took all the WiFi stguff back and bough NetGear WiFi stuff, worked like a champ
I sure as hell did, ASCII Art ALWAYS makes me think of my firend downloading and printing porn (in ASCII) on His Commodore 64 to His Epson dot matrix printer from the BBS, You had to look at it from like 3 ft away, never did get it.
Well, reciprocating (piston) engines are much easier to filter the incoming air, but im not sure you would have to with the turbines
I have seen turbines cleaned , while running mind you with crushed waltnut shells, really neat to watch but smells like hell. Its sorts like sandblasting them the walnut shells just get pretty much crisped and thrown out the exhaust. They also do the same thing with the engines not running but when I first saw them doing it on a running engine I just couldnt belive it. Ive got an Idea that the BIG breathers like the GE's on the 747 would be fine with the soot a forest fire could churn up.
Very doubtfull, dont forget those engines were built to operate at some 30k ft, at a higher speed granted, but check the partial pressure of o2 at that altitude and youll see its still lower than what would generally be encountered at near ground level even during a fire.
I would give ANYTHING to hack a series of those ala Barbie Liberation Front style. Change the "dog-bark" translator so it returns all kinds of EVIL and RUDE translations, like "Im going to eat your throat out in your sleep" and "Hah I pissed in you shoes" etc etc.
Way back when in early 95 my dad was running Win95 beta or RC , I gained remote access, installed and shared a folder that I then uploaded all kinds of 2001 a space odyssey
WAV's to his system and replaced the default sounds. My Dads name was Dave, so it was friggin perfect, instead of the shutdown sound it would go into the "Dave, What are you doing Dave" sequence and so on, about 10 sounds in all.
ANYONE stupid enough to USE a dog bark translator deserves anything I can make it say.
I read a study not too long ago about IBM, it was an updated study I read n the mid 80's
The short of it is IBM could never sell another product or service, and freeze hires, still continue to give raises and pay benifits and stay in business for another 50 years !
No actually I fired him because he was closed minded and intolerable to work with. EVERYONE on the team had said they wouldnt work with him so I basically removed him from the team and I was supposed to use him to do quick simple tasks, that didnt even work out.
It was meant to be funny, although the story was true it was meant to be tounge in cheek. I guess people take me too serious sometime, as far as being uneducated I am far from it, I was actually attending Baldwin Wallace College at the age of 13 years old through a program called GCI, gifted challenge institute, it was meant for kids with a mean IQ of over 165. I lived on campus in the dorms and went to class like any other, got credit, got drunk and screwed around like any other student. KNOWLEDGE is useless, that was all I ever saw in my 2 years at BW was a mass consumption of knowlege but no basic undserstanding of what it took to acquire that knowledge or implement it in a usefull manner.
So I took the road I wanted, being 20 years old , the youngest Jounrneyman Plumber/Pipefitter EVER in local 219 and making 70k a year with overtime. My sons health was more important to me and to be honest the jobs arent that different 70% of it is dealing with customers and making them comfortable and handling their needs.
But the preceeding post was meant to be funny, in a round about way I guess my sense of humor can be a little dry at times.
I dont know, I started i programming in 95 at 45k a year with no school or previous experience (in a work enviroment) Heck I was a plumber and pipefitter before I decided to be a programmer, actually I had little choice (sons health issues and bringing home hae A C B or CMV home made the doctors very nervous)
I have never hired anyone at under 40 to start if they were good and knew their stuff AND their limitations. I made it a point to never hire anyone with a degree, I feel that 9 times out of 10 even working with them is a problem. Back in 98 or so I was lead developer of about 20 guys at the time, the HR gal hired this dipshit with a degree, I told him to do a task and do it this way. four hours later I stopped and asked wherre it was , it was 20 minutes of code at most. He said It cannot be done that way it will not work , frustrated I said here and leaned over him coded it ran it and tried to show him at which point he turned his head from the screen and stated, it does not work, it cannot work I was taguht in school it would not work if it was done that way therefore it does not work. All the while it was running on his screen. I was purple with anger and fired him a week later. After that I made it a point to hire guys who had REALLY fought their way up through the trenches like I had, I fin them better problem solvers and MUCH more open to alternative ways of doing things. College is for people who cant lear on their own (Doctors being an exception)
So with a degree I would pay would pay low 30's which would take into account you would need a significant amount of retraining, if you didn have a degree 40's . UNLESS you were a worse typist than I am them maybe even 50's , as we all know poor typing skills show a gited programmer
Uhh, first of all there is pretty much not way MS could dwarf IBM when it comjes to their Army of lawyers, you forget IBM's roots IBM will litigate till you have nothing left nearly bringing themselves to a halt but theyll do it and theyll do it succesfully. IBM is no wimp and is quite a bit more experienced when it comes to litigation. How many times did IBM survive being chopped up , severaltimes I can think of with absolutley NO conscession.
