BEWARE of the "+" addressing of Gmail feature. I signed up for a MySpace account (bad idea) with my email "+signup" so I could immediately send all the ensuing crap to the garbage. A month later when I went to delete my MySpace account, they informed me they would send send me an email to confirm my delete. After doing this about 10 times, I realized I was never going to get the mail and I wondered why. I DUG IN a little and guess what I found out?....there stupid code was sending an email to "myemail signup@gmail.com"!! A white space character! So my conclusion was that when I registered, their client side string validation parsed out the "+" character and they stored my email in the database as "myemail signup@gmail.com" which of course is not valid. After about 40 million emails to MySpace explaining this I've given up on canceling my account and settled for obfuscation.
BEWARE: bonehead sites might parse out the plus sign HELP: Anyone know any way I can get MySpace to delete my account? (I've tried changing my email address but guess what: you have to confirm it by email to your original address first!)
Hey I'm one of those developers! I'm a junior developer working on java certification, learning JEE, beans, tags, servlets, AJAX toolkits, javascript etc., etc. I also have some management courses from undergrad and have considered an MBA. When I go to Dice.com and see Senior developers in my zip code making 3/4 of what "software managers" are making by using the Dice salary search feature, I scratch my head confused by whether coding until 1AM is "worth it"...if going the management route would make me a lot more money anyway (and still let me code as a hobby/entrepeneur on the side). What's a young person to do?
I'm sure there is a 1GB SODIMM [soldered in] OOTB and just one open SODIMM slot remaining. If you add a 2GB SODIMM which is probably the maximum DIMM size on a single stick the mobo can read, that will make your maximum 3GB.
I can't believe you'd make a joke like "a-hand-up" dept. or "handful" of hacks. If I met you, mano a mano, I'd know how to handle your type, you're nothing but two left hands, all hands and no action, I'd really hand it to you. You're lucky I'm at work now, I gotta take off for my All Hands meeting. I'm assuming someone will take the handoff here to pick up the good fight against types like you.
Wouldn't this make the XBOX 360 core console the cheapest standalone (not computer) HD-DVD player? If they do a Christmas special for $300 or less, I think that would be a good value (if one has a 1080p display) even if someone only has a few 1080p HD-DVDs they own (or rent through Netflix). For certain moving pictures, like the ones that win Academy Awards for scenery, visual effects, set design, etc., it would be nice to watch them in 1080p resolution IMO. I would have to believe that there won't be many titles worth watching that are available exclusively on Blu-Ray, in other words, HD-DVD outta do it.
I've got 1080p and it is great! Check out my review of the Westinghouse LVM-37w3. I've been using the TV as my primary computer monitor for about 3 months now. I picked it up open box at Best Buy for under $1400. This new development in XBOX 360 land makes me really want to pick one up since I've been on the fence anyway. Now I could have a media center, game console, and HD-DVD (1080p) DVD player for $400. That's a lot of value considering current prices for Blu-Ray/HD-DVD players.
Glad to have captured your input on this dialog. Going forward we'll iterate through several processes, scanning for inefficiencies, to create any sort of syngery between group leads and developers. Formalization of process methodologies is paramount for accurate predictions and cost-effective decisions. You've got full management support on this project, lets keep the scope in bounds here and work on our "elevator speeches."
Actually I was just in China and Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh city), and the difference between the housing, infrastructure, clothing of people, personal transportation (2-wheelers) is quite different. Vietnam seemed to even lag some of the countryside homes and things I saw outside bigger cities in China. Perhaps western China would have been quite different, but certainly, the Dong goes a lot farther than the Yuan.
What does the slashdot crowd think about the growth of other TLDs? I think del.icio.us, scriptaculous, and other clever uses of country code domains and things are "built-in" branding, and often just as memorable or more than.com.
This might take a while for grandma to understand, and is not as easy to speak, but it obviously has semantic meaning. I worked for days to come up with a.com name, after going through dozens. Choosing a name of a business is difficult enough....
...good correction. My point was that I could sell each laptop for what I considered to be a minimal loss, by selling on eBay. That way the risk of "being satisfied" with a $1500 purchase (beyond the return period) was reduced. However, with each subsequent purchase, the loss column grew to where it would have been better having not done it at all, or as you indicated, I essentially bought a $1500 laptop for $2500. I'll revise the article to make my point more clear.
Oh please. I just checked AdSense, $1.96 today. Yippee. AdSense revenue pays my hosting fees and helps "legitimize" the hours I spend researching and writing articles. Since real, actual earnings information is hard to come by, the only way to know the potential is to run it yourself (unless you can point me to some empirical statistics). Every webmaster knows that Slashdot visitors don't click ads.
I'm a junior dev working for a software company. I taught myself a fair amount of VB.Net working on a website, and did a fair amount of C programming over the last couple of years in school. Now I am working at an all-Java company, and am continually surprised by the layers of abstraction, such as proprietary db code that interfaces with JDBC, that interfaces with the db. Neither VB.Net nor C taught me this kind of object-oriented interfaces, abstraction, etc., etc., not to say this is not possible, but I say learn as much OOP as possible.
With C I spent most of my time doing memory management that Java does for me. With VB.Net I spent most of my time finding "widgets" and things that someone else wrote that I could drop it...so I never really learned to program from the ground up with it. If you are only doing web stuff, learn VB.Net or PHP, if you are working for the enterprise, learn Java. I've seen more and more job advertisements for PHP and Python knowlege, and the jobs are what it is all about right?
Media Portal for Windows is open source (hosted at sourceforge), and has been under active development. They had there.2 RC pushed out last month. It isn't as refined as MythTV, but it could get there some day. What I liked was that is "just worked" as a media server for the living room, and I didn't have to maintain a Linux box or edit text files to change display resolutions for our funky HDTV.

Here is a writeup I did of it for an earlier release:
MediaPortal: A Free PVR for Windows
I think you should double check your order of evaluation. You have the hair-slicking and armpit-detoxing before the girl notices you. Now don't get me wrong, there are Computer Science kids that talk to themselves, mumbling something about WoW, big O notation, or whatever, but most would wait until g.noticesYou() is true before entering the loop. Hopefully most would know when to break the loop, but that is another story.
I interviewed my friend Josh about his projector. He took a "I don't give a shit how it looks" approach and now has an 8' by 8' screen in his living room with 150 bucks in parts off eBay. Check out the pictures and crappy 320x240 videos!
One way to save a little time is to synchronize your Firefox bookmarks between your new Linux machine and your other machines (like the Windows PC you use at work).
I prefer GIMPShop since I can speak the same lingo moving between Photoshop and the GIMP.
If you want to add rounded corners to your submission, or a drop shadow, check out this guide. Looking for feedback if you have a better/automated/Script-Fu way of accomplishing the same task.
I think Apple should have "released" their refreshed Powerbook and G5 models in a few weeks, and let the new iPods and iMacs "settle in" a bit. It seems like they are rushing their release milestones a bit. Is piracy to blame? Also, I noticed a small image error on their Apple page, check my blog for details. http://andyatkinson.blogspot.com/2005/10/new-power books-g5s-aperturebut-why.html
...and under active development. I set it up on my old PIII box to serve music, DVDs, web browser, and there are even some games I can play with my MCE remote. Nice FREE alternative to MCE, Snapstream, etc. The PVR functionality is there for when I have time to play with it, otherwise it makes a great media content server.
MediaPortal: A Free PVR for Windows
I'm interning with Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) in Arden Hills, MN, working on their Windchill enterprise PDM application. PTC is known in the manufacturing world for their Pro/E CAD software as well, and is based in Needham, MA. I have learned an amazing amount of things in 3 months and been exposed to loads of enterprise apps and technologies.
Luckily I have a good combination of management in that my Group Leader is a hardcore code monkey, and my Manager makes the less glamorous corporate side of software engineering (CMMI, etc.) interesting and useful.
We are working on client development using an XML based framework for the next major version of the software, and they just asked me to stay on into the schoolyear. I would recommend PTC to other CSci/equiv. majors looking for a great internship at a commercial software company. Hit up my blog for a little more.

I agree. I ranted on and on about this very topic in this article.
haha, that damn game is never going to come out is it? What happened to that ArsTechnica preview a few months back?
