I think Adobe deserves a little credit here. Increasing the frequency of commercial software releases is not trivial. They are aware of their vulnerabilities and quality issues. They genuinely want to make their software better, and they want those improvements available to customers sooner.
But do your users have perl installed? If not, you'll need to "compile" it (e.g. with ActiveState's Perl Development Kit). This actually works quite well, but it's more effort than a simple batch file.
That being said, if you've found the best tool for the job, why are you asking for ideas on slashdot?
Generally I like the KDE look and feel, but those folder icons look a little odd--almost disproportionate. And I realize it's abstract, but what is that default background? Looks like a beam of light is shooting out a bunch of photons, but only along the curved paths.
I do like the hover effect on the folders, and generally the whole thing looks pretty clean.
...Facebook's privacy woes continue after acknowledging that its data center doors were installed with no locks. Amazingly, it turns out that Apple was using the same building, and *another* iPhone 4g has been lost.
As a developer, I can't afford to stay a mile wide and an inch deep. Being exposed to lots of programming languages and becoming familiar with a variety of development environments is all well and good when you're studying for your bachelor's degree, but it doesn't exactly translate into reality. In the real world, I want to expand on the variety I gained in college and truly master one language--perhaps the one that was most interesting to me when I was in college--and become an expert in developing software using that language. This often requires a significant time investment and lots of experience focusing on one specific area. If ActionScript/Flash is your passion, and it's what you've chosen to master, then Apple's decision feels like a real slap in the face.
I won't say anyone has the "right" to use Flash on every platform under the sun, but developers can't spend the rest of their lives learning a new language or development environment every time some big corporation wants to exclude a perfectly good language they've already mastered.
Hudson: "17 days? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last 17 hours. Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before...and they're gonna come in here..."
Ripley: "Hudson!"
Hudson: "...and they're gonna come in here, and they're gonna get us!"
Ripley: "Hudson! This little girl lasted longer than that, with no weapons and no training."
If you eventually have any openings on your team, hire programmers that are hungry to code and enthusiastic about the opportunity to work for you. You may even consider taking a chance on someone who is not quite as skilled/experienced as other candidates.
I recently advanced in my current job to a team of experienced programmers who sometimes seemed to lack motivation/desire. I have definitely benefited from the experience and know-how of the "old guys", while I think they have benefited from my youthful exuberance to work on any piece of code I can get my hands on.
I guess the person who took the picture for the article didn't know the difference between a left and right hand...or maybe it was the person whose hand was actually photographed...or maybe it was the person who posted the article on newsvine.com...by the way, I typed this entire thing with my left foot.
What I'd like to know is how I can get a programming job without having a CS degree. I consider myself a pretty darn good Perl programmer (three years of experience at my current job), and there seem to be plenty of Perl jobs available. However, I just can't seem to make any progress in the job market--lots of recruiters from India calling, but no promising leads.
Any ideas?
If I revoke a key without explaining why, it is due to that law. Although revoking your key would not help with this law, because a revoked key can still be used for decryption (as can an expired key). A revoked key would only prevent future encryption.
I remember the good ol' days when copying of DVDs and CDs was just farhfegnugen in Germany. Now it's verboten? Next thing you know it will be gesundheit!
...because this very weapon was featured on that weapons show on the Discovery Channel (you know, the one hosted by that insane, ex-military, bald guy?). And he didn't wimp out and subject only one finger to the pain, he took it from the full weapon mounted on the back of a vehicle!
At any rate, this is old news.
Slashdot Mirror
How about an automatic update that uninstalls IE6 and replaces it with another browser?!
This topic has been covered on slashdot before, but running out of addresses will be a "data disaster" in its own right for many companies. Heck, even CNN is talking about it: http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/05/27/internet.crunch.2012/index.html?hpt=T2

The doodle should also track how many hours of productivity and money are lost playing it.

I fall asleep at my desk every day. Heck, it's part of my job (afI'm a software engineer).

It could also be an anagram of 'Log Ego', since they undoubtedly have some of the biggest log files on the planet.
