**IRONY ON**
Our minister for internal affairs Mr. Wolfgang Schäuble:
- hates the internet
- wants to censor it
- wants to control it,
and he has a strong meaning on immigration, if you are coming from the liberal U.S. you are not welcome here,
you could induce liberal thoughts in too many of my fellow citizen.
Thats why there won't be more of you like us, you simply won't get the citizenship.
**IRONY OFF**
Na, it's not that hard to get the german citizenship, we like americans, also we do like most of our western EU-neighbours,
and our population is decreasing if you want to join the club, do it now;)
1.) Concepts - most said almost nothing to aid CS - are not programmers in the first
2.) Usage
ENGINEERING
If you want to have a look at engineering software which is used to solve numerical problems(FEA,MBS), you most likely will run into the good/bad old.....Fortran77/90.
And Fortran will last longer than you live, even that MSC/Adams tries to jump to a C++ Solver for better code maintainance doesn't mean anything for now - but I suspect a bit more of a market hype, lack of good (future) fortran coders and that C++ Coders are cheaper than their Fortran counterparts, you want to know why ?
Answer(*) Interfaces and Generics ( the code is too maintainable and you're expandable )
But yes Fortran is beautifull and ugly at the same time, Fortran is pure code it's no concept, that had to be worked out on beforehand, Fortran is just a way to implement.
3.) suggestions, from the real (work) life - as a mechanical engineer who has also to be a part-time programmer, and has to look above the fence I would suggest, with given priority except d. - which is the most important skill
a.) Excel-VBA - a helpfull swiss army knife, when it comes to handle data using a combination of VBA and the functional spreadsheets, this is nearly a must, because if no other tools are available or allowed to use, excel is installed on nearly every office-PC, VBA is easy but the Excelobjectworld has to be learned also.
b.) choose one but Fortran has the geeky vintage factor on it's side, it's like a 12" vinyl
c.) F# - functional and.net Plattform, - exotic but very neat - few very good books about, there nearly are no more than those few good, there aren't even bad ones;) - fast
d.) be adaptive, be creative, a good programmer must not be the best coder.
An analytical problem-orientated approach, in combination with creativity and the ability to adapt to new situations are the key abilities to get a good job and to stay in, and using ExcelVBA is also a key ability:
In short, the program has to evolve in your head, not within the language you implement it in, but you will find Excel everywhere:D
You are right, but the bible is based of the old testament too, it was not decommissioned ?
But you are right that I cannot judge christians by the old testament only, that's the point what I wanted to say, just exchange bible with koran and christians with muslims.
I look at those christians with sorrow, whom for example love their (wo)man2(wo)man-loving fellow citizens so much that they are outcasting them, or violate their human rights - as you might expect I the human rights are my basis of judgement what's right and what's wrong.
I tried to put the attention to the difference between written words, thoughts and real actions.
It does not, nor I defend it, but a judgement should take various aspects into account, especially when it comes to a judgement about a multitude of various people.
Sorry but this child rape argument isn't really one, there where times were similar things were common even in europe like 500-600 years ago.
This koran is about 800 years old, it cannot be adapted to todays social and cultural standards.
As I might update your view in most muslim countries it will be not possible that a nine year old will marry and get deflorated, earliest age of marriage is between 14-16 or at least 12/13 (it is but it's mostly ignored! towards higher ages),
neither there are exceptions, such as the yemen where this practice might not be as uncommon as it seems.
You see even if muslims say those words are divine, they tend not to follow the koran in word, they adapt and interpret it. Like what christians have done with the bible, ok anytime there are extremist people.
I think you should make yourself clear about how we came to todays moral and ethic standards.
And you should not let yourself blind with worn out arguments, you can also find similar things in the bible I guess, but the more you will embrace those old argument against christianity or islam, you will be clueless about a solution.
But yes I also think that there are muslims, which are a threat to western society but I also take extremist christianism into account to be such a threat.
I am also a naturistic nudist for example, and I don't want to have my freedom cut, to be as I am, where I am.**
**this is irony for those who may have thought else! But I am a confessing liberatarian.
This would be a hillarious joke for april fools day, but if they want to counter radical muslims this way won't work.
Muslims mostly tend to build local social groups mostly in favour of their origin-region(not country), these social groups are mostly not radical but, from our point of view their views onto the world differ hughly from ours(*).
But in such communities radical thoughts and comments will occur as a common understanding of that the western society tries to supress the islam.
And here is the catch, these "supported" people and groups will find themselves outcast as they are seen as a part of a western supression strategy. They will be recognized as traitors, and these former actions like "google-optimisation" will be seen as an evidence and so strengthen the common understanding of a western conspiracy.
Thus can also push moderate muslims into a position, where their word becomes less weight than it had.
Diplomacy will not convert muslims into liberal nude loving naturists, nor will war. We(wester people) should realize one thing you can only gain someones trust when you not try to betray him, and with trust you can start a discussion about certain things, like stoning of cheaters and heretics, as a start.
The human rights are a philosophical construct with the intention to make lives better for everyone, I think we should remember those humanist philosophers, which brought us to a state of self-awareness, and start thinking about our selves and our actions.
Diplomacy does not work from top to down, like a hierachie it works on trust.
And you know what prescriptionstrength means ? - 600mg vs 400mg per dosis (if you take nonpresc. strength 1 1/2 pills do the same)
And well it is a drug, but we all know that girls during menstruation are likely to have pain in their belly area and migrane or heavy headache as well.
Is there no right for the girl to attend the school painfree ?
Hey programmer IMPLEMENT a for LOOP! """Three""" ?DIFFERENT? ways to do this.
a. b. c. 1 2 3
in sum THREE options.
THREE different things (how about reading and thinking first? or has Apple abondend letters instead of fancy signs?)
c.) (saving MBR) the link to wikipedia contains the dd command and further explanation, and changing this to the english wikipedia link isn't that big problem or ?
POWERING OFF vs. SHUTTING down There is even no problem in powering a system off for a senior (press the SoftPower Button and it will be shut down and then powered off (or is this a compatibility issue with linux_acpi implementation?)
It's less TCO than you might think, because I don't need to answer the question, "why does not run fancy senior windows game, fancy senior office2007, fancy etc.. not on my computer"
They can do what they want and when it goes bad, no problem just firing up the backup.
a.) - educate them so they can install things on their own - educate them "where" to save their files - educate them to buy an external HDD (ntfs has a nice mount to directory feature(DESKTOP/MYFILES) - educate them that for an application based question, they need to find a solution on their own. (this worked great for my mom, and her knowledge has grown since I started this)
b.) - close the access to the PC that they are working as a normal user, no install etc.. - install firewall antivirus
c.) - install windows, make a binary image of the partitioning and the installation ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Boot_Record ) dd if=/dev/hdaX of=/themasterbackup/backup.img
- install an antivirus & firewall - say them where to save their files - give them full access to anything
Anytime they got major problems backup their files remotely (LiveBootCD+Linux/FreeBSD+SSH+preconfigured) and fire up the old configuration(from an only in the case of a restoration to use external hdd)
But all in all the most important things is, educate them not write down their email adress anywhere in the internet
The most obvious things not mentioned anywhere, autoupdates+NO.I.E.+NO.O.L., FIREWALL And the the very best is learning to say "NO" and "NO, I have no time to do this".
For archiving over a long term they have some unbeatable pro's
(+) 100years+ (+) lowtech data retrival (even Gallileo could extract information!) (+) burn it when the deadline is met (faster & more secure than erasing tapes)
(-) slow data retrival (but this is just data which has to be archived, and won't be accessed anymore)
"most" german attorneys came to the "understanding" that they would follow those guidelines, because they want to stop being abused.
No attorney is bound to this understanding, so there is no safe haven.
Some attorneys in germany are/were very vivid on supporting the entertainment industry. Most attorneys got tired of being abused as simple information providers, because the attorneys mostly setteled the criminal cases with a fine and no judgement or really no judgement.
This was because there was nearly no public interest in pursuing the cases, they just made it for their personal fun and not within a gang, or simply that prosecutors would have needed to gather more information by raiding the peoples homes, and in germany a judge issues a search warrant mostly because of hard evidence - which a log isn't really.
Lately there was a case linked to "child porn thumbnails within a number of normal porn thumbs" one person who was searched because of log entries. This guy attacked the search warrant later and the other judge decided that the search warrant was unlawfull the judge ordered that the police had to give the computer back - unsearched.
"gang - organized crime"
I must also issue a warning because if this filesharing is combined with an organization than most prosecutors will investigate the case further, for example a piratebay.org can be seen as a criminal organization, because in germany a link to copyrighted material is seen as copyright infrigenment.
"What happens in germany ?"
In germany when the entertainment industry got to know the identity of the filesharer, the industrys lawyer would issue a notice to them, a bill and an aggreement.
the notice & the bill: - you pay the lawyer (~500 €) - you pay restitution ( just restitute the real value)
the aggreement: - you aggree to stop distributing the copyright holders material - in case of a breach you aggree to pay a fine round about 25.000 €
If you not accept this, the case can/will get to civil court, most people in germany as in the US pay so this won't happend.
But the key point is that in a civil case guilt must be proven too, and the provableness of an IP + Identity must be questioned. At the moment I don't know any case where this was tried, nor any civil case except those based on commerical scale cases(further evidence through a raid etc.. ).
Ok this is really odd, because as a native german speaker I needed several minutes to get it right, why it was rejected. But as a native german speaker this name would not be an offense, it's just a reciculously absurd act of censorship to me.
Btw. sorry/. but perhaps this site is going to get a > 18y disclaimer, but censorshit.
While 10% of all installed OSes are Vistas, nearly everybody should have glimpsed Vista on a laptop screen near to him/herself by friends, by coworkers, laptop equiped travellers etc..
If they had done the "experiment" one year ago the situation would be opposite, but it was in July 2008.
You can also try to say that nobody knows how "Coca Cola" tastes, but those who don't know are the exception.
This is the question which bothers me when reading about the "mojave experiment", how can it be that those ppl. haven't seen anything of vista and so could not recognize it on sight ?
I know how Vista would look - as 90% of/.readers did - when it was a beta, a thanks to independent software distributors.
So what have they changed, that those "experienced users" haven't recognized it as vista, or were they drugged before or even bribed ?
Was it really Vista or was it Windows Server 2008, which seems to be the better Vista ?
I think of this as a usual MS market scam, but it reminds me to a similar kind of annoying advertisement IBM was persuing for OS/2 Warp 3.0. It was on german TV, don't know if it was somewhere else on TV, featuring a small headed blondi-like secretary who was just to dumb to understand how real multitasking would make her work easier, and how OS/2 would push her climax to a new orgasm*)
By the way if it wouldn't be possible to turn off all colourfullness on WindowsXP I wouldn't use it either and stayed with Windows 2000, or I would have poisoned the search dog, burned the wizzard and clamped the paper clip.
