All the articles and information on HT has said "performance will decrease in IO intensive applications." SQL server seems to fit that bill. This whole article is a non starter.
This finance reform was written to protect politicians, not us. The real desire is to limit last minute information released by someone who can't be strong armed and instead say that newspapers, etc. are"licensed" to release that information *can* release it. But those same newspapers can be influenced.
Yeah... because I'd want to hand over 250 million and just say "do what you will." Come on. Donating it as grants means they, probably, maintain some oversight on what it is spent on. Which is completely reasonable.
Can you actually specify more than ane design habit or poor coding practice that is "encouraged" by the application? I would consider "encouraged" to be something that VS does for you that has no configuration option to turn off or modify. There isn't much new in the world of coding and design best practices. So I would think that a "good" design habit is not "the way I do it" but would be something that appears in an established best practices list.
This article is actually debunking some people's reasons why Java has poor performance. It does little to debunk my actual real world experience that it *is* slow. I'm glad to see that performance has increased alot, but I remember some all (well 90% or something) Java applications, like the original JBuilder, that made me want to claw my eyeballs out when using them. Those apps and other early apps are where Java's performance issues really took hold in many people's psyche.
Except that were pretty sure one reason they are doing this is to keep from having to lower prices on the slower models. So, the people who get the slower are not getting their money's worth. Apple is keeping the price artificially high.
Yes. The letter of the law is that an "employee" if they meet all the conditions of being an employee and all their work meets all the conditions too the copyright transfers to the employer. The thing is... it takes 20 minutes of a lawyers time to make a "work for hire" agreement and it is used over and over. The safest course is to have anyone who you intend to "work for hire" sign that agreement. Then their status is far less in question. (I would say "not in question" but lawyers are involved.)
Copyright law requires a formal written "work for hire" contract for the copyright to transfer to the employer regardless of employment status. Only a few states have some labor laws that work around that.
Your manager needs to seek legal advice. If he is letting you own the code you write purely on company time without some fairly serious legal consideration then he's way out on a limb.
Everyone seems to be missing an important point. The online method is only *one* of the ways to file a claim. The phone is another. This is important because I would estimate that 98% of places with internet access have phone access. This makes the internet option an option of convenience or desirability not necessity. Given that fact the accessibility issues are nearly irrelevant. When considering the disabled persons accessibility to the site (which is what they are referring to, not browser accessibility) they will consider all avenues to the service, not just the internet.
Nowhere in the article does he convince me that even if it was published before Vista was released that it *would* apply to Vista. Microsoft is going to delay or modify a major OS release because a *recommendation* outlining a mythical platform is released? This guy has a touch of paranoia.
The condescion came from the overinflated "state of web development" claim and may have been a bit over the top I admit. I say progress will be made because it *is* being made. Just not at some people's expected speed. I think because the real usefus stuff isnt in the browser as much. Other than the acid test itself can you show me a site that uses capabilites that IE does not have that really provide true "gotta have it" functionality?
I've been doing web development for fortune 500 companies for 10 years. The state of web development is not so dire as you make it sound. Progress will be made on the browser side. Its just that if you think the browser is where web development really gets done... then you should get back to your high schools online prom brochure site.
"the only thing that can get them to take notice is a little carnage". That is what the COST analysis is for! You guys think Cisco has inlimited developers sitting in the wings to fix your problem of the week? They don't. They have to priotitize things. Some egotistical loser like this guy releases the info into the wild and all he does is *artificially* inflate the priority of an issue.
Using this type of logic Cisco should be spending all of its resources on finding only unidentified bugs because one of those undidentified bugs has the possibility, no matter how remote, of actually ending the world.

yeah, the gas lines had nothing to do with ummm a little thing called OPEC?
I've done it about 5 times with my copy of XP. Never takes longer than 15 minutes, and the people are quite professional.
My question: "Greenhosue Gases" on the rise.... but do "greenhouse gases" actually have the effect these people claim. They can't say.

The proprietary application works with things like TTS engines, Braile readouts, etc. The applications that read the "Open" formats do not.

However, Blizzard's shoddy backstories are 100 times more interesting than any of the other 4 MMORPGs' I've played.
"Malicious popups"?? "Crashing browler only"??

Yeah right. Please! Stop! I'm laughing so hard it hurts.

Slightly offtopic; but don't people know that using the phrase "as of now" is wothless in a reference article that may exist for a long, long time?
Don't they trust me not to duplicate it and give it to others?
No, they do not! And the actions of thousands upon thousands of people prove them to be correct.
Some things clearly must be done... just because you can.
Volume knobs anyone? Radio Tuners? Combo Locks? List goes on and on.... Linear progression represented on a wheel.

I care... and I use IE. In my opinion, IE *is* the standard, more than the Acid group wants to convince people thay are the standard.
