When you replace knowledgeable workers with a lets google it up mob.
People use haddop just because big data, but in reality they don't know how to implement it correctly.
I tend to use so called unnecessary code when the codeneed to be human readeable.
This may vary,if writing something that is intended to be read by novices or some funcition that in my understanding should be explained by more verbose code.
I try to write self commented code where I can , and I'm a believer in simple to to read functions instead of 'virtuoso'code that needs heavy comments
A mountain captures the moist that would otherwise go elsewhere, if my country scarce irrigated spots became dry and without any rain because of my neighbors new mountain I'de like to do something about it...
Cant this increase political tensions in the zone ?
Worst still is NOT reading what's on the subject and being so eager to criticize,
I'll quote it for you since you missed the word
'oh you fly with no FRONT windows'
Some times I do hoard some data, usually after some harddisk change of something, in wich case i get a folder named olddisk with the contents of the old disk, this method does lead to having a bunch of such folders, like olddisk1 olddisk2 and so on, I usually take far too many photos on my trips so I end up with GIGs of photos, I can imagine a person who takes vidoes of everything would fill 20TB in a couple of years... anyway, im trying to lead this to a non piracy based all music and torrented video scenario. what I do,bear in mind that I only have 2 TB of stuff, is :
run a duplicate finder program,maybe you (ops, I meant your friend) have to much duplicate stuff.
if there are many videos, are they in the apropriate quality and sampling rate ? do your VHS tapes really need to be in 1080p ?
then
1) use a raid station to backup. I have a synology I use for bck.
2) keep the sdcards after they are full. I do not erase sd cards from my camera, I just store them remotelly, cheap baackup for one of the most precious and inpossible toreproduce files.
3) get 10 2TB hard disk to copy your stuff and store it:) I really cant visualise getting 20TB of data for a home user...
Give him Legos , on of the top most educative toys. same goes for mecanos or other sets of building games .
stay away from construction toys that make you build the exact same thing over and over again, with legos you can build tousands of stuff with a single generic bucket.
and now there is INDIANA JONES themed lego OMG , i must have it
Today's titles are a stupid form of pedantism, I'm the IT guy in my company and although I do pretty much everithing from coding to support lame users, I do not care about the title, used to work in other companies with 'softare achitects' that didnt have a clue of anything but m$ stuff, Database operators and designers who dindt have a clue about anything a DB is. You are what you are, and I do prefer to be underestimated than exposed asa fraud. Man I dont mind being calld an employee rather than a colaborator, a computer company is not a partner, neither is your communications company they are your supliers . It makes me mad to ear about 'a company mission isto give their clients the best... ' BULLSHIT a company is there to mke money ! if the client doesnt make money they'll dump it

So what !?
My mother 70 yo now used to learn french cursive, German cursive and the standard Portuguese cursive. I only learned the Portuguese kind, and it useless now.
I do believe that learning cursive is good to give the kids agility in their hand and control over fine movement but of litle less use than that.
Today whe I have to hand write i use a mix of style, mut its easy to read by any one !

When I was young , me and my brothers had to code sharing the palm pilot, crammed in a showbox, and still had to pay £15 just to keep the rats from bitting us in the toes.
When you do a deal, one part gives you some stuff and you give some stuff to them, When the MCPs did the 3 year deal with M$ they got some advantages they would not get if they made a different deal, right ? When you make a contract you should read the whole thing and think about it, not just sign it because everyone does, it was this kind of behavior that gave M$ its absolute supremacy , if MCP just have said 'No , I wont sign this contract because it sucks' in the first place, then they woulndt be in this situation
and thus any means of avoiding thesharing of information (the basis of our species) is just plain stupid !
Just imagine,caveman A eats ad berrys,caveman B sees it but cant tell caveman C beacuse of a tribal NDA !

I've been in the process of trying to open a game store in Portugal, after several contacts with major labels, i've decided that IO do not want to be a sony employee, the margins are to low, game selling legislation i Portugal is ridiculous, the used game market could be a way out of it , but sony kills the market with their platinum series, what you thought the platinum was there so you could play cheap ? no its there to kill the used game market. As for the copy protection mechanisms I see on PCs, they are plainly ridiculous, boycot all games that are drmed .
I'm posting this to alert any Portuguese buyers who plan to sink any money into a mac, macs are great, OS X ROCKS, but technical assistence is NILL in Portugal, I had my mac book dead, took it ot repair, and 30 days later still nothing !, luckilly I bought it on a good dealer that following the law gave me my $$$ back !!!
If apple does not open a direct office here in Portugal I wont buy a mac again !!!

Hi, Lisbon
"O portátil português aguenta bombardeamentos", quem o diz é Hugo Chávez. O polémico presidente fez o teste, deixou cair um exemplar ao chão, e diz-se fã do portátil português a baixo custo. Um milhão de máquinas vão ser adquiridas pela Venezuela
The Portuguese laptop can witstand bombardments , who says this is hugo chaves, the president made the test an droped the laptop on the ground, he says he is a low cost portuguese laptop fan. One million machines will be bought by venezuela
O disco rígido está particionado, sendo que 10GB são para o Linux Caixa Mágica, 10GB para o Windows XP e 10GB para os dados do utilizador que assim ficam disponíveis para ambos os sistemas operativos
the HDD is partitioned , being 10GB for 'caixa magica linux ' (TN : sucks) and 10GB for XP , andthe remaining 10 GB for user data so tat the user data can be available for both OS's.

As a Portuguese, I'm ashamed by the publicity that is being poured intoour media, you can ear phrases like 'the fist Portuguese computer' !BULLSHIT! , this is as much as the first pt computer as my fist intel pentium ive built by purchasing parts here and there , the Portuguese government is completelly SOLD to M$ just search the web for the articles about bill gates's visit to Portugal where a large part of our government just went there to kiss ass. Alas we are prone to this kind of bullshit in every aspect 'remember posat' the first portuguese satellite , that was 'sold' to the Portuguese public as the Portuguese built satelite, but was a kit bought and assembled in Portugal.
You said : Software publishers fail to appreciate that their software is an add-on to an operating system and collection of existing software and data and should try to coexist and cooperate within that environment as a guest should behave himself in your home.
Thats Wrong, no one buys a computer to run an OS, people use OSes to run applications on their computers. Apps sell computers OSses run those apps.
You also said : People are willing to buy when it's worth buying.
Thats wrong too, if people can get it for free and dont get any kind of punishment for it , they wont pay for it (I know there are a few exceptions).
I wont judge the motives that anyone copies something, but one thing is for sure, there are no noble motives either, a game isnt exactly food or medication or any kind of thing you need to live. There is NO justification for copying software and using it on a regular basis, there are : free alternatives for most apps, games arent a prime necessity, if games are too expensive is because people DO pay that kind of money for them, try this, do not buy new games if they are too expensive, buy 2nd hand ones. So IMHO if you want to copy games and movies do whatever you want but dont waste bandwidht saying that you do so because of _insert_noble_and_oh_so_sad_story_ , you do it because you are being selfish and do not want to pay the price that someone asked for it, and because you can do it and get away with it !!!
