I realize thinking is not a pre-requisit to posting. However, realize that job cuts are a fact of life. Period. Even in the best of markets, some company is cutting jobs.
And even in the worst markets, some company somewhere is hiring.
Basically, this means that the hole in the bottom of the bucket is smaller. And, if you follow other news, you will realize that hiring has picked up.
So, yes, a decrease in job cuts is good news. Your market may vary.
No, you're likely in the coffee shop for the social aspect. The people watching. The camaraderie. So you're NOT alone typing away in an empty room.
Next time put a warning message on posts like this. I got to this part and nearly freaked out. Social contact? Typing with others in the room with me?"camaraderie"? I was afraid if I kept reading, you might mention talking to people and maybe making eye contact with a girl.
Too much for me to take on a Saturday morning, sorry.
And you wonder why the feds have no problem with the AT&T monopoly getting back together? Can we file this under the "You-scratch-my-back-I'll-scratch-your" department?
Getting information about the Sun by looking at the moon? How stupid. I propose we send a mission to the Sun to find out first hand what the Sun is like. I can hear the scoffers whine "But it is to hauuuuuuuut to land on the Suuuuuuun". This is what you pay geniuses like me for. We land at night. Problem solved.
Avoid SQL injection by not relying on dynamic SQL queries. Use Stored Procedures, and you avoid a lot of risks. Users do not even need rights to underlying tables. If you insist on dynamically generating SQL based on user input, then triple check everything and pray a lot.
I don't understand giving attackers a free attack vector in your applications.
I find the best way to learn is to have a real life project you are working on. Their are too many people in the world with "paper certifications". That is, they can pass a test, but could not do anything with that knowledge in a practical way.
I am in the process of studying for certifications. Three tests I was ale to pass with mostly work experience. One, I really needed to study... I found excuses to introduce some of the topics into my work. It helped a lot.
You, likely, are not working in the industry yet. Find a way to work on a real project. It might be one you dream up. It might be working cheap at a local company. I don't really know enough specifics to advise. I'll just say that dreaming up your own project requires a lot of motivation to continue to work on.
But bottom line, you need to be applying, or it is just book knowledge.
Sorry. I don't think you can apply non-dilution rules discriminatory manner. They could apply to all of the owners, not just some of them. Otherwise this would be pulled on any company with a minority owner.
If I am wrong, please cite a source. I am always willing to be proven wrong;)
Yet, somehow you have taken the time to read the summary, and post twice. It reminds me of my dad, who watched Dr. Phil every day. Then he'd tell me how stupid it was. I asked him "if it is so stupid, why do you watch it every day?" He had no answer.
Why do you spend time on the stories you find pointless?
You are right. There is no way to force the issue. However, I believe with majority ownership, a plan could have been put into place to give the other owners to have the right to buy at fair market value. The heirs would have received cash if Bill and company could pony up.
I think that simply having the majority voting rights would have enabled them to get this type of rule passed, but I am not 100% positive.
Try reading the article. Allen in no way "cries". Generally, he has kept his mouth shut, and the only way this article was written was based on third party information and other research. He has shown a lot of class over the years... but it is easy to take a cheap shot, isn't it?

It is 'Grammar', not 'Grammer'. If you are going to correct others' mistakes, please take the time to proof your own ramblings.
Thank You.
that states that it will be Red Hat that will buy JBoss and not Oracle as previously thought.
I read this, and thought there was speculation that Red Hat was considering purchasing Oracle. Now THAT would have been front page-worthy news.
Nah. I've been following this character around for a while. He really needs to get modded -1 Troll.

Why was I expecting a goatse link?
Heck for $2.50, I can go to Taco Bell and be a WMD the rest of the day.

Trust me. They don't bounce.
Soon they'll be breeding us like cattle!
Yeah... I'm not holding my breath. Quit trying to get our hopes up...
CyricZ had excellent karma at one point. And all he did was respond "Time to switch to OpenBSD". So, I guess your answer is "yes".
Sorry. This joke is older than dirt. Certainly older than Ali G.
Next time yell "Frist Post!" Damn noobs... gotta explain everything to them.

Is this the source code to System 7.1?

We now know why Microsoft could not afford to buy Bill the digital whiteboard he wants so bad...
so he reads email and surfs the web...sounds like my job but with a bigger monitor...and bigger paych
So you have the same pay/work ratio as him: infinity! You should put that on your resume.

Nope. I got "interesting" ;)
Thanks. After reading your link, I have a new favorite sig ;)
