My point is that GUI stuff is different than command line stuff, if only because you don't paste multiple GUI apps together to accomplish more complex stuff.
This defeats one of the "selling points" of using a dll. When functionality improves, the library is updated and all consumers of that library benefit from it. Locking in a specific version via hash would be functionally no different than just statically compiling the library into the binary. Then what is the point at all?
You are not going to be bringing in an H-1B employee for that kind of work, so the argument is really pointless. "Operating in a large scale environment" where you have to understand every little nook is left for a professional with decades of hands on experience, enough to take on such a responsibility. It is that simple.
One thing about business is that you can say enterprise structures revolve heavily around active directory, yet most people you talk to on slashdot don't have the slightest clue on how to actually run an active directory infrastructure because it's "icky microsoft proprietary crap." Most nerds don't know, for example, how to manage a VMware ESXi 5.1 cluster with a Cisco Nexus 1000v virtual distributed switch (something very big these days, btw) or even any idea what a mezzanine card is.
Wow. How hard could it be? A few days of playing around and reading some documentation. That's the thing. Anyone with sufficient "IT Talent" can pick this crap up on the go. You don't need someone who has studied exactly what you think you need. Especially true with the examples you gave.
The effect of gravity is multitudes more predictable that an explosion on an asymmetric tumbling object. A small tug around Jupiter may all we need to keep something from ever hitting us.
Actually, Office 2003 and XP are still around because A) The multitudes of Dell P4 machines that no one will let die, and B) You can still pirate these without an activation server
But when a few dollars can sway a purchase decision, and it's hard to convince consumers through a few sentences on the side of an SSD box that power protection circuitry is important to have, it's hard to justify putting it in
This isn't buying a car. $3 or even $20 isn't going to be detrimental to the purchase oppritunity when the consumer can TELL it is of quality above the competitors. Blaming the consumer in this case sounds like you are on the other side
First, "mature" games as you refer them don't define anything. Having titles for over 18 only is not the same as not having games that appeal to adults.
Next, you bought about as many games as I (or most people I know) ever buy for a console. Even in your case this seems like a success. I have no idea what your direction was

Is the Wii U Already Dead?
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Why is the Wii considered a kids console? Every adult I know has and plays a Wii. The motion controller was much more than a gimmick, it was a functional, useful device for input.
First, you used the word stupid directed at me. Didn't you learn not to do that when you were 5 years old?
The amount of additional effort I as a manager had to put into knowing how things were going with my remote reports vs the local reports was not insignificant
Yes you did. Check ins should be the same regardless if you are remote or local. The fact that it wasn't the case in your scenario proves my point
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand you are the problem. Stop asking "Are you done yet?" and "Where are you at on this?" all of the time. A simple check in at the end of the day saying "I did this, My plan of work tomorrow is this, and this leaves us at x position". Some things take days. If I have to tell you and show you why it takes days, it just took even more.
So you are telling me he had the upfront money AND a server farm that rented him space, using a completely custom, unknown type of machine that no one had a problem with? Sounds legit
Or am I an asshole and it is on a real vegetable/animal farm?
3dfx cards only gave 100% performance gains when your rendering pipeline was two pass... one for models, one for textures. Not every game did it this way. Quake 2 did, however
What happens when the offender is a homeless bum? And the plaintiff is a not-for-profit daycare for crack mothers who are trying to get on their feet, which now has to close down? Then the crack mothers go prostituting, leaving their kids in another junkies hands to pass on all wisdom... then what? Is that the free market? One big cascade of failure you spend your life hoping it doesn't affect you? I don't want it then.

First, running an SSD on an "industrial device"
Second, using FAT
Third, "commercial journaling FS". What does that even mean?
If you are industrial, where is your UPS?
if poor people can't do basic ROI in there head on the fly, they are going to have a hard time succeeding.
Well, duh. Why do you think they are poor/small business?

As pessimistic as this sounds, if you are able to follow the trail, you will find a governer/senator/some high ranking official connected to it
Sure. Now who is going to file charges? Nobody.

The machine is still out at the farm

So one of your friends is using company equipment in a server farm to mine bitcoins? Sounds very illegal
