This was not a comment about maintenance at all. I'm really good at what I do, I usually work on the new stuff and let others take the boring production support. This wasn't about me but him. Did I say by my definition? No, I asked him to be honest with himself - it can be a tough thing to do.
If he moved over to project management because he wasn't good enough, he definitely shouldn't come back for his own good and for the good of others.
Get off your high horse and there is no need for language like that.
Really be honest. Were you really good at it? I've worked with far too many people that weren't that good at programming. When they left to do something else it was good for them and everyone. So if you became a project manager because you weren't great a programming I would stay away.
If you were really good at it, picking up a new language shouldn't be a problem.
Well thats not the definition of Global Warming that would be the defintion of Global Temperature Shifting or something.
Global warming is the gradual increase of the earth's temperature in the lower atmosphere due to the addition of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere.
I am not stating global warming is fact just the commonly accepted definition.
why not - thats exactly what 3DFX did back in 1996 - came out of the wood work and blew everyone away. Of course they self destructed in 2000. I think S3 will really have to show some good stuff to get over their past reputation but it is possible.

This has nothing to do with the editors its taken directly from the PDF, but I don't suppose you took time to read it. Yes, its a terrible sentence but later they say for the for "the few millonths of a second that it operates, Atlas generates electrical energy output roughly four times the Earth's entire energy production." Again an unforunate sentence as it doesn't say minus Atlas itself. However energy is power * time, so for a minute ammount of time this does seem to produce produce vast ammounts of power.
Maybe we are understanding the bible wrong. Revelations could be a recipe for creating the end of the world and whomever does it gets all the faithful into heaven there by earning a place next to the father, the son, and the holy ghost.
acutally that is very easy to answer if you have a family to feed and no other jobs on the table.
but me with no kids - a long time girlfriend - but not married. I wouldn't take a job with microsoft unless I had been searching for a really long time and the bank account was looking empty.
I'm just trying to point out how stupid this is. You can do the same in firefox easily and its not intergrated with the command line its just some cute little site. all the good names with be taken with spam where if I install programs locally I get to control the location (to have 2 programs with the same name) and the path so it finds the right one if I just type "command"
just as wrong as typing g foobar into this dumb site to have it do a google search on foobar - I could have typed that directly into the location bar on directly into google itself.
Why is that such an idiot thing to do. Shouldn't the site with the highest revelence be the site itself. So if I type www.slashdot.org into google and hit I'm Feeling Lucky I would get slashdot - though I'd go through google first to get there.
I know a browser should ignore a tag if it doesn't understand it. However that does not make it well-formed, as it is not.
Why does a property tag for Visual Studio show up on the web. Isn't there enough information in the page and style sheets for it to edit the page?
But they can't say "they designed it to the standards". Its not even close. Heck the body tag has some crazy ms_positioning="FlowLayout". How the heck is firefox supposed to know what that is?
so the keyboard logger becomes a Nexus written by someone else to log all the keystrokes. Then all I have to do is gain adminstrator access and install it. No biggie. Trustworthy Computing is a lemon. Just like DRM. The data has to be made available to the computer so something has to be able to read. That something can be compromised.
The 4:00am question: I doubt it since she doesn't know how to program yet. But neither do I and I've written code for many many years now.
The A HA: Again I doubt it since she doesn't know how yet.
vi vs emacs: Just silly has nothing to do with programming.
typing fast: okay for one you have no idea what her disability is. she may not physically be able to type fast. no biggie - programming has very little to do with how fast you type - ask a typist to code your next project for you - see who gets done quicker her or you.
leafless tree: WTF?
clothes & closets: Again WTF? My closet is a mess. Why because I'm busy and have many many other things to do.
musical talent: Okay my music skills are bottom of the barrel, but many smart people do have good music skills, but many do not.
deep grasp: unless she studied it then nope.
collection of computers: nothing to do with being a good programmer.
newsgroups: probably not as she isn't into programming yet.
ask slashdot: many other ways to find answers to this question, like google.
In short don't be such a snob and narrow minded in your view of what a programmer is. You would be surprised if you saw the people I work with, and this ain't no back water its a major American university (We've got jocks (played football or basketball in College), Nerds (the typical - like your list), very Social (always knows everyone) and they are all very good.
Nope sorry SETI doesn't get default ownership of the sky. They must be equally weighed. Oh yeah, get and wear headphones if people talking bothers you. They have a right to talk though yelling should be frowned upon.

from the article:
estimated a "conservative" value of between £25 million and £34 million for a royalty claim against Google for the G-Mail trademark.
For "email" with a 'g' instead of an 'e'. I mean come this is quite excessive.
why not - thats exactly what 3DFX did back in 1996 - came out of the wood work and blew everyone away. Of course they self destructed in 2000. I think S3 will really have to show some good stuff to get over their past reputation but it is possible.
I had my doubts but I too jog alot with my trusty ipod strapped to my arm - no problems so far.

How bout a comma seperated list of hyper links - really multi-links bah. and really use the presentation layer to support this - thats a good idea.
