experts say the most dangerous breaches are the quiet ones that leave no trace.
You would not have known.
In fact, security experts would like that to be your last thought before you go to sleep at night, and your first thought when you wake up, and uppermost in your mind when they pad your bill with zeroes.
I find that the iPad has the all around best UI response.
Define "response". If I want to switch from the browser to a note taking app, as I frequently do, how quickly can I do that on an iPad? On Android the switch is instant, on an iPad you have to wait while one app closes and the other opens.
Can you turn the animations off on iOS? I do on Android and Windows because they just slow me down.
By response I mean UI response, which is what I thought I said. By UI response I mean the actual touch events and response thereto. I haven't used the iPad a lot, I only have it for testing. And I use html5 for a client, so that is important. Philosophically I prefer Android because it is more open, but my platform of late (3 years) is html5, specifically SVG. Apple has supported that from day one on Safari. Android (Chrome on Android I guess) did not, which was a big disappointment to me. I filed a bug.
I stopped tracking the bug when I discovered that Opera had it covered. The native android browser works now, but there wasn't any good reason for them not to have supported it from the beginning.
Calories in, calories out. You can exercise as much as you like, but it will make you hungrier, and you are still going to be fat if you don't curb your calorie intake.
Nature has trained us to eat well to store up for lean times, so we always want to eat more than we need. The problem is that we don't have any lean times to make the system work properly.
I know my eyes are not what they're used to be. I have noticed crows getting twice as large over the past 30 years however. Those birds are fucking huge to the point of being intimidating
They are very clever, they are watching you, and they are biding their time. Nothing is quite as tasty to a crow as a juicy and delicious human eyeball.
It does if you're in the business of government, where prohibition rakes billions through your hands each year, putting you in the position to leverage that cash flow for personal gain.
In that case, why on earth would you give a damn about anything beneficial about marijuana OR hemp? (FYI, the US government doesn't recognize the difference, and for good reason. Money, money, and more money.)
Not only that, but not smoking a single cigarette in your life is no guarantee at all that you won't get cancer at age 10.
And never leaving your house is no guarantee that you won't die in a plane crash. (Not sure what the point was there but the logic was so pure that I felt the need to elaborate.)
Everything? And to what other countries are you comparing? I'll let you into a secret: you only went to crappy chain restaurants.
Yeah, you missed 1% of the eating establishments entirely!
You probably went to the restaurants that everyone else goes to. You know, the ones that hire teams of psychologists that target two year olds to instil one thought in their brain, that their lives will be ever so much better if they eat lots of yummy french fries and drink gallons of coke.
You know, the ones raised by irresponsible parents that give in to the nagging demands of these young fast food connoisseurs. Those parents should be shot.
If we all just eat junk food and do whatever we want, there can't be any negative consequences!
Yes, that was exactly the point of my comment. It's like how someone saying "It's okay to drive a car" is also *really* saying "It's okay to drive at 140 mph and disregard all other cars, FUCKIN' AY!!!!" Thank you for so eloquently clarifying what I really meant.
through a playground?
I don't see the connection. Anyway it has been proven that research causes cancer in rats and people with Alzheimers develop cravings for fast food.
Given the state of the laws in effect today, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't committed some kind of offense within the last month. It's more like "You're a criminal but you have nothing to be concerned about unless we want to enforce it"
Not to mention that many many law enforcement agents are themselves guilty of violating the law.
Another way of phrasing it (which I remember being used in the context of Microsoft's API): "software sharecropping."
I don't know why this is marked flamebait. I think the comment is rather astute.
What is the point in building code to support a library that puts you in a position wherein you immediately become dependant on something you cannot control. Resulting in a product that largely makes money for someone else.
It is not about saving you, it is about saving the insurance companies money and providing an additional revenue stream for the state. Everybody wins!
Well, in Canada it's argued that it saves the health system money. I suppose that there is some validity to that.
So when a fat pig with three chins has to pay a fine for eating a big mac, and we start dictating the way people live in general, I'll consider it fair to fine me for not wearing a seat belt.
Your comment about Islam is the kind of bigoted remark that fuels religious hatred. Good work asshole.
As for Islam, Jews and Christians seem to be wiping them out at an accelerated rate. But that's not murder and hatred?
Me, I'm not prejudiced on the topic, I hate all religions equally. They are all dangerous, especially those fanatics waiting for the "Rapture". They WANT the world to end. You have to know that they are willing to help it along, and there are a lot of them.
I find that the iPad has the all around best UI response. I still wouldn't buy one for myself, it isn't that much of a difference. Android is open, at least all my Androids are, and the price is much more reasonable.
The Novo 7, which is a 7" Chinese tablet running android, uses a 1.5ghz dual arm, It's very snappy. $120.00 in Hong Kong.
I have a Transformer, a Novo 7 (China) and an iPad. I paid for the Transformer, the others are company owned test units.
I like them all. I haven't tried the Transformer with a keyboard, should have bought it. But that might be the one you want.
Dear Google, please let me fuck up my own social network. If I can't be trusted to not put up pictures of me that aren't offensive, will piss off my boss or have my girlfriend walk out on me, then please don't try to help me.
That's how I feel about seatbelts. Please do not save me from myself.
To be fair, consumer laws in the US are pretty poor and there's very little government intervention even when US companies deliberately and systematically break the law.
But this was not in the US, it was in Italy and like much of the the rest of the world, there are laws in Italy to protect consumers from dodgy goods.
US: society equals corporations and the laws reflect that
EU: society equals citizens and the laws reflect that.
elsewhere? Depends on how badly the government has been screwed by corporations (IMF, World Bank, etc...) already.
Well, yes. I'm Canadian, I expect that the laws in the US (an assumption) are becoming more draconian all the time, but I get paid for overtime or I don't do it. Or at least I wouldn't do as much as I do.
This has not always been the case, I used to work overtime because the job needed doing and I did not care about the money. And professionals, at one time, were not considered for overtime at all. I think that paid off in different ways, but no more. As for what my contract involves, I usually figure it involves what needs to be done, fuck the contract. Job satisfaction requires that the job get done and done properly. If I'm not getting paid enough, I say so.
The law in Canada is, if your boss asks you to work overtime, then you get paid overtime. It doesn't matter if you are a janitor or a CEO. (I know, I'm using extremes.) I tell my boss that, he is a manager, he figures he doesn't get overtime, but that isn't true, he is entitled the same as everyone else. I won't be a manager, just don't want the job.
So, if your situation is the same, talk to the boss and work it out. Definitely make sure you come to an understanding.
I've been resisting becoming a manager for 20 years. I want to build shit. And I want to build new shit. So I'm a research architect, and damned good at it. I build new shit, then when it goes into production, we put 20 somethings on maintaining it out so I can go build more new shit.
I suppose y'all will find something wrong with that, but I'm 54 and I thrive on new shit. I'll evaluate it, if it's any good I'll use it, if not I toss it.
I can't stand Java, I am experienced with it. I don't like monolithic programing models, I like doing things the UNIX way. The Lego way. Build modules that do specific things well and incorporate them in a framework.
So I don't like Windows. As for cloud computing, we have always done that, cloud computing is the client server model no more no less. It's amazing that someone can come along and throw a java app on top of some shitty time sheet software and make money selling it to CEO's by tagging 'cloud' on it.
For a bunch of whiners who want everything for free you people sure expect to be highly paid. Where does this money come from exactly, when you won't tolerate anything being sold? Maybe you expect the rich to donate to your life? (I know, there's no maybe about it. I've read your "manifestos.")
I think the issue was that people were not staying once they had been trained. This points to unhappiness in their position and because of that, an over all loss for the company both in time and dollars. Young people are moving on because they feel exploited, their privilege. Unless of course you believe in slave labour. It sounds like you might.
The rich are rich because they have learned to exploit, the people representing management in this scenario aren't getting away with it, it isn't working out for them.

I have the choice of banking my time. I bank most of it, and use it instead of vacation.
Vacation accrues, banked time must be taken or paid out yearly. I suppose you don't get any return on accrued vacation, unless your pay check goes up.

Who is whining? Well, you for one.
You get what you pay for. If you aren't keeping trainees, you aren't competing on salary. You would think that obvious, I guess it isn't.
But has anyone patented using power cells in a robot designed to infiltrate human colonies and assassinate them from within? I think not.
I tried patenting that, they said I had to prove that it could be done. So that's what I'm working on now.
Apple is the new Microsoft.
LOL! You may be correct. Bill must be pretty pissed at Balmer.
That's called "Prior Art" and since the Evil Borg Mothership has more money than the U.S. Tresury; chances are no one will launch a legal challenge.
I thought Microsoft was the evil borg mothership. Was Apple assimilated?
