So, will the massive amount of spyware and other malware that IE is *highly* vulnerable to still be considered a free service, or will microsoft start charging us for these infections?
I agree with you 100%. What I was trying to say was, if you live in a gated community, and you have a private gate around your house, and then another private gate around your safe-room, and then another gate around your desk and someone breaks into your safe that is in your desk, then I ask, how the hell did that happen?
But in general, leaving your su password blank is stupid beyond words so I should have shut my mouth at the start of this thread! look out!: )
Right - you just paid like 500$ bucks for the novelty + a poor warranty that forces you to mail back this monstorous heap. I'm sorry, stick with a stripped dell from SlickDeals, put 3rd party parts in and max out the RAM, and you got yourself a fully decked-out gaming rig for well well under 1000$ + 3 years warranty on everything inside!
If you deploy a database durectly on the internet or in an area of your LAN where folks can easily attempt to log into it, you deserve to be breached. Most smart app/network designers will place their database(s) behind layers of firewalls so only the application servers in question have access. In this situation, having a blank system admin password (although stupid) is not so much a risk - only your production deployment crew should even HAVE access - it's called defense in depth.
Hey those downloads are just fine.... if I had a dialup line. But I'm getting about 6.7/Kb/sec on my phat cable pipe - only 1:49:04 remaining for a 39.1 MB file! BWAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
Does anyone remember the Pool of Radiance DnD series of games for the Commodore 64 and Apple II? This, in my estimation, was one of the greatest DnD games to date. Sure there is no online play, but the group combat was marvelous, the stories were compelling, and I could get right into the action of DnD style group combat without much hassle. Is there any modern DnD game that similuates group combat like these old titles? I hate these new first person dnd games where the essence of group combat is gone!
I agree. XML is old hat at this point. I especially love XPATH, it's the easiest way I know to address XML.
Recently in the Ajax world I've started using Googles AXPATH library to handle ajax xml responses at the Javascript client level. Even with old machines and very complex XML, googles xpath javascript library (open source) has worked miracles for recent projects! It's part of googles http://goog-ajaxslt.sourceforge.net/ library - and the xpath piece can be ripped out and used by itself.
Not only that, but most Java/J2EE developers have been XML'ing as a core part of the language for many years. This posting seems a bit off (like as in, 3 years off) to me...
I'm most partial to my Commie64 Linux distribution solely for the Commodore 64. I have to recompile just about every linux package known to man, only 1 out 1000 OSS projects actually work, and the hardware is rather limiting, but MAN am I COOL!
Yea, most corporate slug programmers dont even know how to run a profiler, let alone actually understand the output. Thats why you hire fools like me at 200$/hr or more to run profilers and find your damn bugs for you!

Maybe if you bought a new laptop you wouldnt have the performance issues? I HATE using old hardware!:)
Nah I'm cool on the WOOSH, lets just get back to the original post in this thread.
. I've learned from experience that when something really, absolutley needs *doing*, sitting in a comfortable chair at home, with the Web at my fingertips, is a *massive* distraction.
This is a comment which I 100% completely disagree with. If something absolutely needs to be done, the comfort of my home office on Kauai is the absolutely most optimal place for me to focus, be motivated and be creative!
It's funny that even the mainstream non-technical media is acknowledging the power of young blood. Check out this CNN article from today: http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/13/technology/microso ft_employees/index.htm?cnn=yes from today. Not once does it mention that MS is having problems finding "seasoned programmers in their 40's" - I recall my days at WebMD where I wrote rings around senior engineers with 10 years my seniority. It's wasn't skill, it was energy, drive, motivation, lack os sleep, no kids or responsibilities... things that have a tendency to change with age. My favorite scenario is 2-3 senior developers (10+ years coding experience) managing and mentoring a team of "20 somethings" - seems to be a good mix towards success.
Thanks for your solid comment. I play in the J2EE web development, Ajax Web 2.0 world of enterprise consulting. Most of the groud-level coders (folks who code full time or more) are very young and work crazy hours. Most of the 40+ folks are management (which includes architects and security leaders, etc..). I'm 33 and am worried coding jobs will dry up as I get older.....
Uh, like on Solaris in a web application enviornment where you are getting 1000 imageing requests a second? No way, in that scenario ImageMagick is one of the only tools that really wins. Sir, with respecet I say you are not tuned into what ImageMagick is really for!

never hire someone just because they are your friend.
Yea, isn't this why our current government is so f@#$&d up?
No, I already ate my words, that was far from fuxing brilliant. I'm going back to coding where I belong! :)

Yes, in the world of computer programming, 36 is by far way over the hill. Are you looking towards management?
The only really intelligent comment on this thread so far.
