I'm so relieved this self-help thread exists. I cannot understand a damn thing that article is saying. I'm not alone (;_;)
To hell with it, I'm waiting for the next story. No comment.
Verification is speeding along because of managed languages.
Verification for managed languages like Java and C# is easier to implement. Not so much for C/C++ where pointers are raw. (Note: C# allows unmanaged code but by default it's managed and I assume most developers work in C# in managed mode, except where performance or interopability is required)
When I start ranting about this kind crap 20 years ago, everyone thoguht I was insanely paranoid.
If it was 20 years ago then you were way too early and indeed paranoid at the time; however it's nice you can say you told us so regardless. I really like the quote.
On a side note, my uncle (who is a lawyer) has a low opinion of judges and tells the following joke
Enlightening indeed. After all those lawyer jokes the lawyers finally made a joke about somebody else... and it wasn't even funny! Nice try by the lawyers, but there's gotta' be another lawyer joke in there somewhere.
I've tried the service and it's so advanced that if I blink it diaappears. Try reading a long letter and it's like having staring contest with a fish. I hope they have patents. This thing is awesome.
So I watched the/. community and European Union argue how insecure Windows is and how bad that is, and then I watched them argue how Windows is unjustly implementing security and shutting out competition. Obviously, Microsoft cannot win, ever.
Sometimes I think the world is just full of dumb-asses. (sounds like a Jack Handy quote)
I understand your point. I don't take issue with falling down on your own sword. However I'm considering the after-effects of such a stunt. I'm making the point I think there is less love for the fallen in this circumstance because of a gender issue.
The HP company itself seems to be old-school enough that such a gender issue could more easily arise.
BTW, I'm not a woman, just a guy making what I think is an observation.
Honestly from what I've seen of this, I think women in responsible positions are given a tougher time then men. She would find more support if she were a man.
Regarless, obviously she's OUTTA of there.
Cue up next woman for another position in the company....
magic [.snip.] or exceeded some unknown level on your credit, then your score suffers.
Question to thread: Please post information about these "trade secrets" and "magic". It would be interesting to see real, cited references.
I am very curious to what might nip me in the back, of which I am unaware, other than the known items like bad credit history, not paying minimum etc...
never upgrade anything ever again. Stay with what you got. Never upgrade any software if the company has been late delivering it because it must be shit.
Awesome argument. Even greater use of logical thinking.
Seeing as how Mars' atmosphere has a lot of CO2 in it
If we can exist on Mars with high CO2 levels, then why are we moving away from earth because it has high CO2 levels?
Mars has been proven to be a harsh enviornment.
I would rather stay in our harsh environment here while others may choose to travel to a harsher one because ours is harsh... I'm confused.
Yes, try the acid test here. Indeed my Firefox won't pass. I think it's not fair to hold Microsoft to the ACID test when most of our other browsers won't render it. It doesn't represent a disadvantage of IE over other browsers (except the small group that can support it)
One thing that we must make sure NEVER happens is that IE gets as dominant as it was pre-Firefox otherwise they'll just stop IE development again
The popularity of IE7 cannot be stopped because it's bundled with Windows and made available through Windows Update web site which almost every Windows user frequents, knowningly or not. Therefore the browser doesn't have to be popular because it will be widely used regardless.
I've been a Firefox-only Windows user for years however if IE7 supports many of the features I like about Firefox, I will have no qualms using it instead. I want the Web, not a browser. The ACID tests are important for standards, but we know Microsoft usually doesn't adhere fully to standards that aren't their own, so it's no a surprise.
With IE7 Microsoft seems to be adhering to the 80/20 rule -- in this case 80% of what the better brwosers have become with 20% of the effort expended. This is smart business practice despite the other aspects.
Microsoft has copied popular features introduced by other browsers (as they have done from each other). I know we're going to see less Firefox on Windows when IE7 is published to Windows update. Most users don't care for the ACID tests (only the developers). It's amazing the dominance the old IE browser still has even though Microsoft hasn't updated it in years. It's inevitable that IE7 will make big wave and grab back a large % of browser share with its copied features.
This robot is only immune to pushing when the external environment is of the proper type. For example, if you push the robot when it's inside a space that is too close for recovery, or if you push it into a wall, then it cannot recover and simply falls over.
A power glitch, a software bug... and you had better hope there are backup systems or else you have yourself and hole in the drywall and a bowling ball.
I assume the inner working of that thing are for the purpose of balancing itself, which is a neat concept, but the robot doesn't do anything useful... yet. The big balancing system will have to become smaller to be fit into robots that do other things.
Because the government of Cameroon is not Cameroon.
That can be said about any country, anywhere, about the people and the government.
This isn't just an attempt to grab cash; that's a side effect. This is to hamper the ability of opposition parties to use the Internet as a voice.
Then they will have to find another voice. The masses aren't stupid. If they are being owned by a government, they know it, and if they don't like it they will do something sooner or later. BTW, some people don't mind being under a military or controlling government. It's not what everybody is accustomed to, but there are many ways to rule on the face of this earth.
The government in Cameroon controls the TV stations, radio stations, and newspapers tightly; they don't want the Internet to be any different.
Then practically speaking why should the Internet be any different? It makes sense in the context of that country.
I can see no good reasons in this discussion why Cameroon (the government) cannot do what they want with their domain name. The exceptions are: we don't like typo-squatting, or we don't like the government. The government is representing the people whether outsiders agree with it or not, and even if the people being represented don't agree. Everybody else in the world is too opinionated about what other countries should do, whether it be a different ruling style or something as small as a domain name suffix. We don't like being told what we should do with our country's domain name suffix, so why should we care what another country (yes the government, not the people) does with theirs?
(Actually, I expect to get many good reasons back about the history and politics and Cameroon and the people because I only know what I've read in the news and wiki -- I've never studied the country in depth.)
Everybody who surfs the Internet has no doubt experienced a typo and a typo-squatter. People will correct the spelling and move on. The generic Cameroon page looks like any other page full of advertisements on the Internet. Nobody is going to think it's the actual destination they want to surf to.

That induced a small chuckle in my throat.
Better get that looked at.

Ya, I want some of that too.
Heck, so are the evolutionists.
You might be adjusting your spectrum for a long time if the aliens don't hear or see. There are probably many other non-human ways to perceive things.
If she were a male American of Japanese ancestry, she would have been fired on the spot.
That would make her a transvestite. I'm sure they want to secure the transvestite vote too.

Actually, yes.
The students have already paid tuition to hear the content of the lecture, why should they pay again.
Maybe as incentive not to miss class.

I didn't even have to attack the Pointless argument because the argument itself is pointless. By inference that makes your post pointless :)

Or we might leave that to medical professionals and keep doing tech stuff.
