I still don't understand why Apple is so secretive about APIs and why they don't give fair warning when they are about to drop one. Its not like its an iMac, nobody is going to wait till the new API comes out to start using your products(for the most part). And when they do drop one, they give almost no notice. For instance, we use quicktime for Java at work, and they deprecated it, but only told people at the 2008 WWDC(which is technically under NDA). Even before that you could see the writing on the wall(no 64 bit, no QT7 features). The info is pretty easy if you search for it, but Apple's website still promotes the thing as viable on their website. Come on, you are only going to piss people off by doing stuff like this.

You have Microsoft's Software Engineering methodologies printed out?
And yet for the most part, the market was allowed to correct in 2000/2001. For starters, esp. after Bush came in office, he didn't have very many friends in Silicon Valley, so he couldn't give 2 shits if businesses there failed. Although/. readers probably suffered disproportionately compared to the general population in that downturn, it was natural and necessary. However, this time allowing those morons who made bad investments(at the corps and at the individual level) to suffer is really what this country needs, and yet because its an election and because large amounts of morons failed and because the CEOs in this case are much more buddy-buddy with the politicians, they will not allow what needs to happen to happen.
The repubs want to pay the same morons who got themselves into this mess $17k/hr of government money, because heaven forbid someone who is rich actually have to take responsibility for anything bad.
If the government is honestly concerned about the credit markets seizing up, then just go offer the money directly. Increase student loan limits(and decrease rates), set up more small business loans, esp. businesses who will invest in R&D in things like alternative energy. Let morons suffer for being morons. Rewarding greedy morons defies EVERYTHING the United States once stood for.
For cases of loading bad firmware, the "load new firmware" instruction should have a few failsafes like magic words or what-not so it isn't accidentally invoked.
So you are saying that QA engineers could learn something from BSDM? Um, sign me up for that training class!
Have you even considered the possibility of sentient tomatoes? I mean, how reckless can you be? Didn't we learn ANYTHING from the movie "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"
Not to mention you can do all sorts of tricks, make it a low res shot, make it "blurry" etc to aid the illusion. Esp. with the camera phone craze, someone will just think it was shot with a terrible camera, not think that it was photoshopped.
for accuracy. First its really easy to blackmail someone by creating an account with their bio, and probably next to impossible to get it down. Secondly, esp. with more common names, its really easy to find someone with the same name who is totally unrelated to the applicant. Should you be judged based on what that person does? Finally, how many people actually take the time to really interpret what a quick google search reveals? A search for my real name without quotes, esp. my full name, reveals tons of porn. I guess I just better hope that nobody tries to search for me on the internet without taking the time to do a proper query(and even then all they will find is my embarrassing performance in the one and only sanctioned chess tournament I ever participated in....)
Not a bad idea actually. I mean if your hardware is actually good(and you have some good networking equipment), why not become a compile/render farm. Or maybe a playground for students using MPI and whatnot. Speaking from experience, it does kind of suck when your first MPI program runs amok in the student lab(which is what we had to use) and crashes someone else's program.....
it occurred to me the other day, the real reason for McCain choosing Sarah Palin has nothing to do with her leadership capabilities, its that she distracts people from the horrible failures of the Bush presidency. If the pundits tongues are wagging non-stop about Palin, that probably means they aren't spending too much time talking about Bush which is good for McCain. If the American people are repeatedly reminded of what a horrible failure the Bush White House has been, and what a big cheerleader McCain has been for said administration(at least since the Iraq war anyway), the less likely they are to vote for McCain.
All Palin has to do is keep the spotlight on her for the next 2 months and McCain may actually stand a chance.
Yeah, 'cept now the idiots are bitching and moaning in an election year, so the people who really get stuck holding the bill are the people who know how to spend their money responsibly. The idiots who bought houses they couldn't afford are whining and getting help from the government, and you know the overcompensated execs at these companies are sure to get their golden parachute, even if it comes courtesy of uncle sam. Kind of funny, weren't these the same people who were whining about how high taxes were not too long ago?
Wow, did you even bother reading the article? Do you really even understand statistics? Yes, correlation is not causation, but that really doesn't add much to the conversation. Correlation is necessary but not sufficient for causation. You do realize that there is a whole branch of mathematics and analysis that tries to extract causal relationships, if they exist, from this data? Are you also aware that analysis like this is the only way we can discover certain relationships?(Well, the only feasible way anyway). Getting a bunch of statistically random people to sit in a lab and drink from either plastic or non-plastic cups for 50 years isn't really going to be possible.
If you have a genuine statistical beef with something, please actually explain it rather than smugly stating, "corelation(sic). Is. Not. Causation)
A second job probably isn't a good idea because it could very easily interfere with your first and you may end up losing that. I would try bartering instead. Seriously, somewhere in your network of friends you have to know people who can help you fix up their house and may have a kid that needs help with math or want a web site for their business etc. Not only is this probably more efficient(no need to earn money, get it taxed, then go find people who are also getting paid taxable income to do the work), the overall commitment is probably smaller as well so you don't have to worry about your second job becoming your first.

actually vote for a non-Republican, Diebold will give is the president that it thinks is best for us anyway.

Kids these days...so reckless......
Dude, if we could get everyone to do something then there would be a super easy way to stop SPAM: namely get everyone to stop clicking on stupid shit.
Not only does that action give spammers income, it is the #1 vector for the spread of botnets.....
But:
a: How many admissions people/employers would take the time to do that? (Or even know how to for that matter)
b: those are pretty easy to change to "iPhone" anyway.....

This is why you should only use human bones as your utensils. There is no danger!(well, Kuru but....)
Plus, nothing makes for great conversation around the coffee maker at the office quite like a human skull fashioned into a mug.

Either that or show me your PhD in statistics.
