Perhaps you should read the C++ FAQ. That will give you a big clue.
The copy I have is 566 pages of 'Gotchas' for C++.
And thats just the C++ language, not STL and not Boost.
For example we have over 30 coders here doing 'C++'....in name only, the deep intertwining and people reaching over into classes and the sheer number of public variables is enough to make me puke. 9 out of 10 coders do C++ wrong. Try to debug that.
too IF you could get electric motors AT A DECENT PRICE.
I was going to make a 'lectric motorcycle, there are plans all over the internet. But they all used a deprecated pancake 20hp electric motor. Back then they cost about $500 or something. The closest replacement I could find was closer to $2000! Just for the motor.
First person to make a kickass electric sportbike that does 100mph for 100miles will make a fortune.
Conversions are great, but we have to be able to get motors.
And the CWA is a Union, whose sole purpose is to suk money. Now CWA workers are mostly out of work, laying fiber is fine NEW job for them to do.
Think of it as the last gasp of a dying entity that just realized that voice over IP is the FUTURE, and they don't have the infrastructure to charge for it.
AT&T got hammered last quarter in both IP(dsl) and voice systems. Everyone is jumping to Cable BB and Voip.
Look for a new communication bill in Congress that will force more money from cable to AT&T for whatever reason. These stats are a farce, the situation has been like this for years. Why the big ballyhoo now????
Its funnier if you say: "And on the fourth corner, there is a bar with a sign out front that says "Please drop snakes into basket before entering." for the pentacostals, because in the "Bible Belt" theres damn few Catholics. Baptists, Evangelicals and Methodists...you know Protestants. They don't particularly like the Pope.
Old joke: "If you take a Baptist fishing with you, be sure to bring along two, because if you bring just one, he'll drink all your beer."
"You cannot fight global terrorism by turning the USA into a police-state." No actually you hand the terrorists a "WIN" on a silver platter...terrorist goal accomplished.
"All that accomplishes is angering the populace....and you remember the last time Americans became angry with their government?..."
Not sure, I don't remember anyone getting angry but me. The Civil War, the War of Independance? Anyway, its far too gone for a revolution, the majority are sucking at the federal teat...theres no way they are going to anger that sow. Actually, the poor are going to be forced to attack the middle class just to eat and get gasoline.
"Set up local tradesmen as masters, with the ability to give certification to students. Students would work for 2 years, then graduate with their apprenticeship done. Over time, the reputation of the master among other business owners (their hires from him) would determine how many students (if any) he would get. Pay him for his time, and he also gets free (albeit unskilled) labor."
WHAT local tradesmen? Lawyers???
We DON'T MAKE ANYTHING anymore.
Most 'Trades' you speak of are 'Maintenance Type' trades. Most Skilled Employees can only stand to work for someone for 2 years. Now you just gave them 'free' labor for the same time frame. That coupled with the coming hyper inflation should destroy the rest of the working class in America.
My kids are smart and motivated and we (mom AND dad) are involved parents.
Some teachers ARE DUMB. We have had good teachers and we have had INCREDIBLY STUPID teachers. Teachers who SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED and REMOVED from teaching.
One teacher could not remember anything for 24hrs.
The one my youngest daughter has this year apparently teaches 'her way' and damn the parents by giving some stupid excuse about 'I guess your kid doesn't get it'. I have already talked to the principal asking for another teacher to no avail.
Guess what, this principal is in for it, she is going to know me on a carnal basis before this is all over. And the school board president, yeah I know her from when she ran a daycare...and went off and left 2 5year olds alone.
Schools here are like fracking bums they constantly have their hands out...last year they wanted, get this, Tablet pcs for each teacher. WTF?!? No one has tablets, not even CEOs, but the teachers want one? And then constantly biatch about not having paper for the copy machine. Priorities, where are the Priorities?
Not that it matters much, I mean looking at the mortgage crisis, it appears that Americans can screw up royally and the Feds will just bail everyone out.
No I mean check that info WHEN YOU GIVE OUT THE LOAN stupid. Its called 'VERIFICATION'.
Thus the excuse of they changed numbers IS NOT MY PROBLEM. Odds are people who ditch on a $20,000 loan aren't going to get a phone with a number in 411.
Don't do anything illegal, then the company doesn't have any thing to hide right?
I recall several big cases then went up because of someones 'little black book' in pencil and paper, so purging emails is really a waste of time anyway. Besides we could always plant emails we need on your server anyway.
I got this too. They 'said' they got the number from 411 for a person with a similar name. Why call 411 to get a number to collect debts? Doesn't the debt holder HAVE a VALID phone number??? You mean you loaned a person $20,000+ dollars(for a car) and you DIDN'T verify a address OR a PHONE NUMBER??? Thats the root of the problem.
So I am beginning to think this is all a scam of some sort too.
Kyle: Yes, yes, hello? Is this Mr. Su-gi-yama with the Japanese space program? [waits for the answer] How much to take a whale into space? [waits for the answer] Nu-no, we don't want you to eat the whale, we want you to send it to the moon. How much? Jesus Christ! Uh hang on. [puts Mr. Sugiyama on hold as he answers another call] Hello? Jimmy, any luck at the Chinese Embassy?
Jimmy: [with Timmy and Tweek] The Ch-Chinese will take someone to space for t-t-ten million dollars.
Kyle: Ten million?? Well that's more than the Germans want!
Jimmy: Yeah. We told them that, a-and they told us to go f-fuck ourselves.
Kyle: Damnit! [hangs up without returning to Mr. Sugiyama] Tell me what to do, Willzy-x! How do we get you home??
Cartman: He hasn't said a word since we brought him here.
Kyle: Yeah... He must be really sick. [walks up to the whale and strokes him] Hang on Willzy-x. There's still hope. Stan and Craig might still luck with the space program down in Mexico.
Clyde: Mexico has a space program?
[Somewhere in Mexico. A bus lets Stan and Craig out and leaves. Stan follows the directions on a map, and the station they're in has a neglected beauty about it. Lots of fountains, but litter as well]
Stan: Uh, 'xcuse me, we're looking for the Mexican... Aeronautica y Spacia Administrashown?
Man: Allá
Stan: Thanks. [they leave and arrive at MASA - Mexicana Aeronáutica y Spacia Administración] Is this the Mexican space program? [again, neglected beauty, and the place looks quite primitive for a space admiminstration, straight out of the 1950s.]
Man 2: Space, sí. Fly.
Stan: Does the Mexican space programs have rockets that can go to the moon?
Man 2: Flow, sí, sumi. [sets down the part he was cleaning and goes inside the complex. The boys follow him] The roque lunar?
Stan: This rocket will fly to the moon?
Man 2: Sí, fly.
Stan: To the moon?
Man 2: Sí.
Stan: [enunciates] We want to take something to the moon. How much would that cost?
DOORs...This government approved monstrosity is almost beyond belief. And we use only a tip of it, alot like Lotus Notes is used for email. I suppose its the config, but here only ONE engineer can EDIT the DATABASE at a time. WTF, are database tools supposed to be able to handle concurrency???
PVCS...yup they are still around, and still crappy as ever. Pessimistic File Locking poster child. I finally DID get a linux command line version installed, but the idiots overwite all your/lib files with symlinks to THEIR libs.
iTunes...I have never understood WHY they have to reinvent the file browser, I mean, I guess most people DON'T oganize their files in folders with logical names, oh like Band/Album. Why do they insist on relisting all the files? Seems easier to let me grab files and drop them on the player? Oh that works, but it never remembers them. And people NEVER put their music on REMOVEABLE DISKS, like usb harddrives either...
Yahoo...not for this guys laments, but the fact that stuff like Fantasy Football ONLY runs on IE???
Ubuntu/Fedora Core Updates...How come we can't DESELECT a update, and FORGET it? I think this is the guys beef about Java, you can't NOT install it, as it is in the Update List FOREVER, and it will PESTER you until you install it. Please someone FIX THAT SOON.
He also seems to indicate that his company PAYS FOR ALL THE MSDN and TOOLS.
THATS what will kill M$, charging a GD bloody fortune for the compiler, docs, and tools. Its up to what now $3000 per year per seat.
And yeah, I purposely ignore the pirate copies and the 'educational institutional copies' because if you are a business, then you should pay. As a pro developer, I refuse to pay that kind of money to legally write windows apps.
SCO is part of a larger umbrella holding corporation(Canopy). Think of it as a small clique of petty CEOs, and Darl is a member and SCO is just a front company. Even if the company folded, Darl would have a job.
See what would have hit them where it is really painful is if IBM or Novell had gone after Canopy.
Funny. Even just using M$ software causes companies to decline.
Intergraph used to sell high graphics workstations that ran a unix flavor (CLIX?).
Then taking the 'free' M$ Exchange Server koolaid, they moved all thier systems over to Wintel, and suddenly became 'just another whitebox' seller, and couldn't understand why no one wanted to pay 2x going $$ for a Intergraph box.
If they had instead moved to Linux who knows what might have happened.
BTW Intergraph made tons $$ selling 911 phone systems....that run on NT4. Still do I guess, its been 10 years since I worked there.

I worked for a small company back in the mid90s(biz sw not games). When we folded, I took all my code home with me. My co-developers did the same. I viewed it as my library of work, and for a while it was my reference material since it was full of generalized code for basic business apps. Now of course its quite antique.
Wrong. The moral of the parable is "Don't depend on someone else to pay your bar tab.", or There is no such thing as a free beer. TINSTAAFB.
The LOSS of the 10th man should not affect the other 9.
And that my friends, is whats wrong with the system. Congress and the Pres have spent more than we have. Their apprarent answer is to make more poor people to make up the difference.
Sir, please go and read ANY history book about ANY campaign. You just described them ALL. But this particular concept began to be written about in those terms around the late 1800s, mostly around the colonial wars in Africa, China, and the Crimea.
In fact the war on the Zulu nation comes particularly to mind.
Its all about selling weapons to large Government powers.
Just wait until they turn the US Army loose on its own population. Thats one scenario, another is that the US continues to frag other, politically weaker countries, as a distraction. Creating an ever smaller personal Presidential Army however will only exacerbate the problem.
