It's pretty cool at those depths so simply pumping air around can save in air conditioning utility bills. On the other hand, dealing with human waste often needs additional equipment though not expensive.
If you're going to stay in programming, realize that the deck is stacked against you, so be prepared to earn less as you gain experience.
In my experience at a company with 1,300 employees, young people are relegated to support calls. The older people (over 40 years), produce [quality] code at an exceptional rate.
Recently, we had to modify a java function for one of our clients whose client was dealing with money which was worth so little in dollar terms. i.e. 1 US dollar goes for about 2,500 in their money.
All young folks including myself were just fiddling around the code. This "old" man who had never looked at the code only needed about 12 minutes to solve the problem.
By the way, this code would 'translate' 1,234,567,890 to One billion, two hundred thirty four million, five hundred sixty seven thousand eight hundred ninety shillings only.
So I do not agree with that statement entirely. In fact this old man is paid about 2.5 times more than myself. I have 7 years java, VB and PHP experience.
Can someone explain to me why Apple behaves this way? I fail to understand. What even bugles my mind is the fact that Apple as a company is [still] a darling in many people's hearts. No bad publicity sticks.
I for one, will not touch an iPhone even with a 10 foot pole for my HTC Incredible does all that want it to and even more. The trouble is Oracle that is threatening to cut off Android's air supply with patent suits against Google.
It really should be illegal to create proprietary connectors for anything.
I must say that I support your point of view but your suggestion would go against the "American free spirit" and stifle innovation at the same time. We should look for a better solution.
...who thinks that Linux does not matter that much anymore? I am afraid I have that gut feeling. Maybe the upcoming Android devices will make Linux more relevant. Android on cell phones is doing quite well.
Indians and those who think like them must think folks bent to do bad things (read harm society), are fools. To defeat any kind of snooping, all bad people have to do is to communicate in code.
That is: "Let's have dinner tonight." to mean "The materials will arrive next week Tuesday."
While I congratulate Google on this achievement, I think Google and Android would be better served if there were better results when it comes to today's Android phones and battery life.
Just imagine what the the headline "Android phones can now maintain battery capacity at greater than 80% after an average day of use" would create.
The buzz and positive publicity with this kind of information would be priceless.
While I appreciate Videolan's achievements, VLC's programmers should improve the interface in one key aspect that has boggled my mind for a while:
I would like to see video and audio controls on the active default interface. At the moment, if I am watching video and want to adjust contrast, saturation, brightness etc, I have to click an icon on the interface, then choose video controls which I first have to activate!
Too many steps for a simple thing in my opinion. With the present implementation, If one chooses video or audio controls, these controls should be found active because why did I choose them if I did not want to do anything with them in the first place? There is always room for improvement.
You think you don't have 14 photos of yourself on the internet? You've got Facebook photos!'
The learned Mr. Schmidt should know that there are folks like me for who, Facebook and themselves do not mix [for now] and probably will not for the foreseeable future.
I have always wondered how these GPL folks determine that a product contains GPLed code. How do they do it?
Having been around computers and electronic equipment for a while, I know that we users only receive a working piece of equipment and a manual probably. Now how one delves into getting to establish that GPLed code [or firmware] is contained withing the equipment troubles my mind.
I should have called it the problem but anyway, 'Android' is mis-understood or even mis-represented.
Case in point: Look at the title of this story, " Android Outsells iPhone In Last 6 Months". Essentially, the author is comparing an OS, (Android) to a device, (iPhone)! It would be better and more informative to the reader to rephrase the title to something near "Android devices outsell iPhones In Last 6 Months".
This is the same plague in Linux land. Some folks know Linux is an OS while others think it's RedHat or Debian or Ubuntu - troubling!
Since this is a platform for geeks or geek story lovers, I expected better. And even then, Android devices outselling iPhones should be expected because the latter is only sold on one carrier in the US and comprises of just 'one' product from one manufacturer.
While I appreciate Mozilla's efforts, I think they should put more efforts into fending off the renewed assault from IE. According to these statistics, IE is on the path of eating Mozilla's lunch. And that's not good to hear.
That sounds reasonable but as indicated in my post, one would get a dialog advising a Silverlight install; in fact, Microsoft's 'modus operandi' in the past had been to 'force' an install or upgrade.
These days, I see nothing pushing Silverlight at all!
I am surprised that folks at Microsoft have decided to employ Adobe's Flash other than their own Silverlight.
You see, in the past, one would get a dialogue asking them to install Silverlight in order to see content. It makes me wonder whether Silverlight is slowly dying - at least in Microsoft's opinion. Remember the KIN ?
Good to hear that AT&T is actually doing the "right thing" and hopefully learning from the research instead of attempting to suppress it.
For AT&T, 'learning from research' would be admitting inferiority in a way. It's better for them to stay away officially then send geeks of their own to 'learn from the research', even though their own geeks failed to see iPhone problems before millions did.
I'm very much in favor of them holding off as long as it takes.
Really? 'As long as it takes?' I doubt that. I for one would consider repeated product delays as sign of ineptness or a demonstration of gross incompetence.
On this front, folks in both the GNOME and KDE camps have demonstrated this unfortunate trait.
For sure...I am not into Facebook and do not yet see the reason why I should join it. Connection to me and vice versa can be done using traditional means especially email.
Most importantly, many times, I just need to be left alone by especially by those from my past.
I believe most of the 500,000,000 folks on Facebook are not doing anything useful on the site. Most of those accounts are just 'feel good accounts'. Right?
...and will mislead consumers into thinking one phone is safer than another...
Then demand that the sentence "...levels of radiation indicated do not necessarily mean one phone is safer than the other" be placed somewhere in the shop.
I usually see something similar on TV where some statement to the effect that "the opinions expressed during the program are not necessarily the opinions of the broadcaster" feature prominently after each commercial break.
'We don't have sufficiently bright people moving into this field to support those national security objectives as we move forward in time,' says James Gosler, a veteran cybersecurity specialist who has worked at the CIA, the National Security Agency, and the Energy Department."
I wonder whether this gentleman has thought about the idea that his "national security objectives" cannot be achieved by computer science at all. In other words, those objectives are misplaced...simply put.

Google should clarify whether its action is related to this rival conference.

Now defeat that.

Would this 'fixing' if attempted work on jail-broken phones as well?
So why won't Google and Verizon admit what they're up to?
Question is: Do they have to? I doubt they do.
