By the time you've factored in design, coding unit tests, debugging, beta programs, documenting and specifying everything... 10 lines a day of rock solid code on average.
That said I produce about 10K a year (50 per day) at peak productivity. On average across multiple years.
10 a day is about right as an average across your office. Look at the four cubicles around you - they probably averaged 0K per year averaged over multiple years.
Shush, let the newbie learn this at his own pace. If he mentions this again, tell him he's the only one that works hard and management have noticed and will reward him come bonus time.
A Middle Eastern country is like a woman. In the short term you plan well and enter targeting sensitive areas. In the long run of course you're stuck with a costly occupation and getting away eventually costs you half your stuff.
No, but if China liberalised it would not end up being ruled by Imperial Japan. Most likely it would end up with a government like that in Taiwan. Which would be a vast improvement.
I find myself defending a government that I really don't like. I still refer to it as "Red China". They were a factor in the Cold War, of which I am a veteran. There is little that I like about China's government - but so many people seem to be blissfully unaware that China's government is ABSOLUTELY NOT the worst thing that could happen to the Chinese or the Tibetan people.
If you look at the huge death tolls in the Cultural Revolution, Great Leap Forward and so on and the fact that China is still poorer and much less free than Taiwan and run by people who still plot to take down the West in revenge for past humiliations, it's hard to imagine a much worse form of government than having the CCP in power.
I read that Google employed a dozen or so people to deal with requests to take down links to copyrighted material. That was the price for not being sued by the RIAA, MPAA etc.
OMG! I knew the original slashdotters - the ones with IPO money and girlfriends - mistreated you but putting you in "Camp 2D" seems a bit harsher than expected. I thought they just chained you to the server to keep you 'editing' when they were out meeting with celebrities and doing drugs.
You're a C denier who is killing the planet with your evil lying facts! Off to Kamp Kernighan for you - you'll parse strings with pointers - AS K&R INTENDED - until you crack!
Well it seems like the wheels spin slowly at Apple. That being said in the past they mostly showed extreme control freakery with their products given time.
Of course, building only one part creates its own set of challenges. When you have multiple parts that are fastened together, tolerances don’t need to be perfect. You have wiggle room, both literally and figuratively. But when one part is responsible for many functions, it’s critical to manufacture that part with absolute precision, down to the micron. Every time. Millions of times over. There was only one way to achieve this level of precision: mill the unibody from a solid block of aluminum using computer numerical control, or CNC, machines — the kind used by the aerospace industry to build mission-critical spacecraft components.
When you pick up a new MacBook Pro, you immediately notice the difference. The entire enclosure is thin and light. It looks polished and refined. And it feels strong and durable — perfect for life inside (and outside) your briefcase or backpack.

EEE is the best brand Asus have. It us inevitable the high end EEEs will encroach into notebook territory - i.e more expensive, more horse power and bigger.

What is this, some kind of Brady Bunch analogy? People named Alice don't actually exist in this century, do they?
Substitute for Anael'fish'ah or some other modern name if you want.
The postal service has a website too.
I don't accept cookies.
That's a shame, I was going to offer you a chocolate chip one.
100?
I've seen people quote 10.

Snigger.
That can be done, I've seen it on Liveleak.

Well that's good to know. Did you get a lot of wedgies at high school?
You must be a hit at parties.

You don't think that if you live in a country as repressive as China that might not have just been the safe answer?

Stones are good. Stones can be thrown at monkeys in the trees. Monkeys fall down stop moving taste good.
Ties were originally invented to cut off some of the blood supply to your brain to stop you thinking too much.

To be fair it's not like the other side go out of their way to make their 'standards' easy for Microsoft to implement.

WRONG!
Irregardless is not a proper English word. Its usage has *ALWAYS* irked me from when I was a small boy to now.
I know it is not a word. I just use it to make the PENDANTS SURFER!

I think they'll implement some better security to tie the software to the hardware now the hardware is so close to a generic PC.
No, but I've shilled for worse organisations than SCO in the past. And I took a grim satisfaction in doing so.

This is the sort of marketing spiel that Bateman presumably rote learned from GQ. He obsessed over invisible details in every day items too
