Not a very good one. It has all sorts of issues from poor performance to not truly supporting the alpha channel completely. Try turning on opacity on an image that has an alpha channel and watch it barf.
If you don't think there aren't fanboys who want to see older plants replaced by newer, more efficient, safer designs, please, come to Illinois. The lobby against this has been raging for a decade.
And how do you think people would feel if I took Beethoven's fifth symphony and decided to just change the beginning and then tried to sell it as my own?
I wouldn't ever say "Member State" in any form to refer to anything, I just don't find that it is as precise a meaning as it should be. However, I would agree the summary is misleading, but that wasn't what my response was referring to. It was in direct response to the parent, which stated:
I live in the EU, and I've never heard of EU being "the short code for EUrope" ever.
In which case, I was clarifying that although he had never heard of EU being the short code for Europe, it is quite commonly used. Now EU is confusing, and more commonly used to refer to the European Union rather than the Europe region in general.
Start off by NOT ever saying "I want to do this like how {some other software} does it", or "I want to it look and feel just like how {some other software} does". That will eliminate 99% of all patent infringement cases. Problem is quite a few want their software to do most things EXACTLY like how another package does. Quite honestly, that IS stealing. You think that user interfaces just build themselves, and you want to steal all the hard work others have done into designing dozens or hundreds of iterations and then doing studies and tests on usability, but you don't want to do all that yourself. No, people just want to steal the end result, without doing the work themselves, nor paying RAND fees to the company that actually did. Sorry, but many software patents ARE needed.
EU was the short code for Europe before the European Union was formed. Many companies that had worldwide coverage broke down the regions into short codes, for example ours were: NA, SA, EU, and AP (North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific). Our DNS and AD servers and many other internal infrastructure systems still use these abbreviations.
I guess it's been a couple hundred years since people buying houses had to take a mortgage too? Mortgages are optional: if you have sufficient experience to have built up savings, i.e. if you're the typical likely-to-pay-your-bills person, then you are safe afterwards.
See that? Almost everything is optional. Of course, 99.99% of the people could never afford a house that way, nor could 99.99% of start ups.
Well that may be how things are done at your work, but the places that I have been, that is definitely not the norm. I see the lack of understanding of security everywhere I go, and I have NEVER seen anyplace except for one (out of a couple donzen) that knew even the basics.
It is NOT a bullshit myth. I see it all the time. Developers who don't know what they are doing, don't know why something works, just know hey, if I have admin access it all works. Nevermind the fact that it "works" because his program that is writing crap all over other processes memory space is no longer "access denied", or the developer needed to request a specific privilege instead of asking for complete access. Or the dev has absolutely no idea how ACL's, the UAC, or any other security measure in the entire system works.
In fact, it was just 2 days ago I slapped a fellow dev's hands because his solution to a problem was getting full access to the system, with full trust privs because he wanted his web application to be able to write anywhere on the system he wanted to make his app work. 2 weeks ago I deleted a whole section of one of our web applications because another developer in house decided he wanted to create a "proxy" page so that he could make some 3rd party piece work -- nevermind that the proxied url was passed in to the page via the query string allowing anyone to shove malware down to people and making it look like it was coming from our server.
Sorry but you are quite wrong. Most devs ARE clueless.
You can, if you have skypeOut, and the other VoIP application has a skypeIn type phone number, or for incoming calls, you need skypeIn, and they need something similiar to skypeOut (That can call regular phone lines).
I think most people assume since you are replying in a thread that you are commenting about what was said previously in that thread. Perhaps you need to reread the thread, then read the comments you made and make it clear your intent.
Microsoft was only convicted ONCE of anti-monopolistic practices (per Country), so your defense is incorrect, and that was 10 years ago.
Secondly, unless you have some idea on how Microsoft could use their Windows monopoly to try and kill off competing VoIP products, this really doesn't involve the DOJ at all nor is it antitrust material. Microsoft is well within their right to stop making a skype linux client if they so choose. They could rebrand it Microsoft Voice. They could start charging for it. They could kill it. As long as they don't try to unfairly leverage the Desktop OS monopoly power they have to try and dictate what happens in the VoIP market they are free to do whatever they want.
I'm calling the police to have them write you a ticket for speeding, because you own a car, and I feel like you might speed, in fact, you've probably gotten a ticket of some sort relating to vehicles in the past demonstrating a history of illegal vehicle use, so waiting until you actually speed to write you a ticket it a waste of time. All police should do this. Just imagine how great it would be when police are able to actually ticket people BEFORE the offense. Next, we should just throw people in jail before they commit crimes, that would be awesome.
Guess if by "a lot of people" you mean some, then perhaps. You can put a webserver up on both Comcast and AT&T, which are the largest cable and DSL providers in the US.
You don't need a static IP, register with dyndns.org or a similiar service. There is no single answer for every situation in every case, but I can usually come up with a cheap answer if given a set of realistic circumstances.
Most hosting plans you can get you own dedicated IP for relatively cheap if they aren't free. Many $7 a month packages will give you 1 dedicated static IP for free.
As for interviews, I've never shown my work to anyone. I've described it, sometimes in detail, but they have never used a live system anyhow.

You are accessing it wrong.
Ask the government for a handout, of course.

Obviously more than the eco freaks are paying you to act like an idiot.

Apple didn't shut down GEM/1, they made them (re)move the trash icon.
You would be wrong.

OS/2's UI sucked compared to Windows at the time. Sorry, but "vastly superior" it was not.

Perhaps after "too" they should move on to make believe words like "Allright".
The libraries don't have to be in .NET code.
They contribute to a good number of open source projects, and standards, so it's not out of the question either.

Some of us have internet connections that are faster than 100mb.
No.
