After a brief introduction as to how testing has evolved over time at Google the book devotes a chapter to each of the key testing-related roles in the company: the 'Software Engineer in Test' (SET), the 'Test Engineer' (TE) and the 'Test Engineering Manager' (TEM). SETs are coders who focus on writing tests or frameworks and infrastructure to support other coders in their testing. The TE has a broader, less well-defined role and is tasked with looking at the bigger picture of the product in question and its impact on users and how it fits into the broader software ecosystem. These two sections form the bulk of the book in terms of pages and interesting content. The TEM is essentially what the name says — someone who manages testers and testing and coordinates these activities at a higher level within Google.
I see...so they get rid of bugs by boring them to death with explanations of their bureaucratic structure, and threatening to add additional layers of management!
Shit, if I was a bug, I'd leave the affected program voluntarily, just to avoid that TPS-report-fest in the making and give the lower employees time to breathe.
Is that the society we want to live in? One where you slip government officials a little something on the side with the understanding that you will be treated as a preferred citizen, and then the government welches on the deal? That's not the social contract I was brought up to expect.
Hey, works for Walmart!...well, except perhaps the "government welches" part. *sigh*

As someone who very recently switched back to AMD because recent Nvidia cards (including my own) have been giving me and others some annoying and only occasionally recoverable Purple Screens of Death*, I can't wait for a decent Company #3** to kick both their asses on driver size and reliability.

Maybe, but I'm sure there are hardcore people out there who would break even the lax license of FreeBSD. Surely someone is on their team to give the legal equivalent of "lol GTFO" when a user decides to e.g. offer it stripped of the copyright notice or try to claim a nonexistent warranty.
That and the whole Don't Copy That Floppy(tm) thing. Someone with a big chunk of Google Maps=another website with a big chunk of Google Maps and its associated third-party imagery=(mad Google lawyers)+(higher license fees for Google to procure the imagery)=(mad Google lawyers)+(less Google shareholders thanks to lower "Profit!").
There's many CFLs in my place-of-residence and the few that have gone out have done so not with expelled smoke, soot, or a bang, but a harmless flicker (though the bulbs do turn black in one or two parts near the base as they near their end of life). They've also lasted MUCH longer than the incandescents (months or years, instead of weeks).
Maybe I've been lucky, but you'll find no loathing of CFLs from me.
No, not impossible--quite sensible really, and working quite well so far if that's their current plan.
They've apparently exploited MS's "Embrace, Extend..." to make them embrace a human-sized* steaming pile of shit. MS has strong ideas of how software should work but if a new thing looks like The FUTURE(tm) and profitable they'll tackle it all NFL-like to their peril.
*because regular steaming piles are too short for the whole wrap-arms-around thing that an embrace would entail
I own the mentioned UD5H motherboard used for the record memory speed; I bought it to replace a very old P5B Deluxe. I am in no way jealous or unappreciative of HiCookie's feat, and the board definitely looks like something that can handle such a thing, but my experience with the board has been middling.
I haven't had the freezes that people have mentioned on its Newegg page (thank the gods!) and things generally work, but Windows 7 64-bit simply refuses to hybrid sleep or hibernate, and after a non-hybrid standby to RAM, things subtly fuck up (no audio, and other devices I forget at the moment mess up), which means I have to fully reboot (really fun when waiting for big programs like Catalyst) or leave the rig on at FULL POWAH through the night or whatever. Arch Linux was working well at first (RAM standby and even disk hibernate if properly configured and I choose to boot from the Linux drive after the suspend), but updates seem to have made it less compatible with my audio (audio out works except through the standard green line-out...odd) and TV tuner (not detected), for whatever reason. (I left a few more details on a review on the Newegg page, minus the less-compatible part.) The P5B had no such problems: its audio had lots of RF interference through headphones (the UD5H has beautifully clear onboard audio when it works) but it suspended, automatically resumed from the suspended drive, and otherwise worked nicely.
For me, a "middling" board is worse than a "horrible" one, because at least a horrible would be bad enough for me to undo all the cable connections and screw placements and attachments and all that to trade for something better (a very old backup PC I had started getting POST errors as I built the new one so combined with other factors it made referring to the internet kinda impossible...that was fun). With a middling one I simply tolerate the few problems because it mostly works. *shrugs*
Sorry if that came off as a dumb ramble; just my experience with it.
I thought Larry Page was the Chief Orifice Officer of Google! I mean, with the whole shouting-down-Brin-over-how-much-to-track thing and all, I think he'd fuck us over first.
Nope. Fond memories of this TV spot, and the other one with a young man instead of Ms. Blaine (ph), where the "Willy-nilly" guy in the former video says "What you are doing is flagrantly un-American!" and the last syllable sounds kinda like it ends with an "m" instead.
I still use my Netzero email address as a secondary, and something of a spam catcher.
The counter is 1-based and clamps higher amounts to 64. The guy who made the counter figured the law would get some complaint at some point (because party politics), and was inspired by the "Retweeted" counter below Twitter posts that clamps at 100 (the pay didn't motivate him enough to go that high).
Expect absolutely nothing more than We The People-style "binding" action if things even get that far. This is Facebook--they're not the judge or the jury, they are the criminal.
That said, I'd love for the third-to-last point in the proposal to be approved, for this to get Like buttons to finally be neutered (i.e. wiped off the net, or turned into non-tracking thingers, or something like that).

I dunno, but if Facebook does indeed decide to buy Opera and the built-in browser is another Wii port of the browser, then I'd sure-bet* that FB Inc. will seek more fees from Mario Inc. for it.

Zynga could be coaxing them to move on. Their homepage shows other -Ville games but not FarmVille.
"You young WPAsnappers, back in the day we had to WEP those freeloaders and we enjoyed it!"
Is it a program by a contractor, as opposed to one made by an employee of the Federal government while on duty? Contract software is not (necesssarily) auto-PD, but the contract can require it to be copyleft free software, etc.

Or something like that.
Get with the times! They're cybercommies. They perform cyberattacks on the cyberweb with a video game cyberprogramming language. Cyberfilm at eleven.
"Paid" does not imply "higher quality"; in search listings, it's quite the contrary.

Great idea! Now we just need to patent "notes on piece of paper". (See, "notes on a website" wouold be much easier to pass off to those USPTO peons!)

Close. Whether you have an account or not, FB is mining whatever they can get from you.
This is yet another mobile phone I'd rather not get.
It could indeed be our weakness, or past performance.
Given the DRM in GTA IV, I think Rockstar Games might actually support this Rockstar. Birds of a money-grubbing* feather flock together.
*I just realized "money-grubbing" sounds a fair bit like "mother-fucking". I guess that explains some things...
