Instead of going to the park to play or support a baseball team, heat, humidity or whatever, you couch potatoes want to play games and put on weight.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
This man would want to be a dictator. Canada was so so very very wrong to elect his party for leadership. In terms of popular vote, the conservatives did not win a majority. But in terms of ridings, they did.
Harper is an image of GWBush. Deny anything that is negative, keep everything possible as secret. Muzzle every public employee. Muzzle his own caucus.
I cannot trust the man, based on his public actions. I feel he is not to be trusted.
Gee, a bank draft for about $5.00, sent to the party via airmail postal services would have been the best way.
PayPal wants to make 10% off your transaction. In terms of bank interest, the PayPal rate extrapolates to far beyond what are annual bank fees.
If I am a software developer, and I have a product to make available or sell, I would like it to be executable under any recent version of any GUI interface.
Gnome 2.x, Gnome 3, KDE 4,x XFCE and lfce, etc. If Gnome starts with it's shenanigans, it wont be long before the big distributions (Red hat/Fedora/SUSE) and the Debian based distributions start to develop a common one, leaving Gnome out in the pasture to retire.
The three important GUI interfaces in alphabetical sequence are Gnome, KDE, XFCE and MS Window7. I indicate MSW7 because users will flee the first three for the latter one.
In the meantime, patent trolls spell the doom to the small entrepreneur. How is the small guy to know that the logic he writes and creates with his own logical thought processes is a violation of someone elses' patent.
The only thing we can do is continue developing here, but register your product with a business that is resident off-shore in what is a safe haven.
Because of Fedora15, and my loss of the desktop, I ventured into gnome with compiz. I was still being launcher driven instead of data driven.
Now I am on XFCE and loving it. With yumex, I no longer have to suffer with the Gnome3 interfaces (with graphics off or graphics on).
Yes, xfce is great. It is infact going to send the messages to both kde and gnome that ease of use is great for a tablet, but the unity/gnome interfaces are for tablets and not for developers.
And we could be led to believe that Linux will eventually not support the desktop, but only support tablet devices.
If you want to work, change countries and adjust your lifestyle. You will still live very well, and be able to send yourself and your children to university, especially your children.
And you could learn a second or third language too, and learn about other cultures by living there.
Although you can probably put up enough firewalls, and move to a secret DNS server, or add other anti-spyware, the question to ask is:
How do you protect yourself from an inside attack? How can you be sure that in the hundreds of senior military IT people, you do not have someone there who, on a mission, would break the system from the inside.
A war must be defended on all fronts.
When you start doing biological gene modification to the plants that bees go to pollinate, so that farmers will have to purchase seed, because the one they have is sterile, or genetically modified to be toxic to insects and bees, then this is the price we pay.
In other words, get back to regular seeds that were in use before the modified ones were forced on the cultivators of flowers, grain, vegetables, fruits.
Wow,
I go to the electronic library and I download and read a book. Or I take the kids to the local library and we look at the historic paper bound copies.
I live in a winter belt. These bulbs cannot be used outside in winter, as the moment the temperature drops to (10F) -10C, they wont start.
Also, they don't fit in my refridgerator, or my cooking oven. With a new bulb, you get early enfant mortality. And try and take them back to the store to honor the guarantee--wow. Wow because you buy a package of a dozen, and it is only a few months later that you go to replace bulbs and find your hitting DOA.s
When there is an efficient bulb for cold temperatures and one that wont melt in the summer heat, and one that can act as a replacement to the regular bulb, then and only then I might consider.
And we can still buy light bulbs as low cost high quality Chinese imports.
Aside from looking at code that is of poor design, I look at code that uses an incorrect approach. For example, We had an application that used an ordered entry table of dynamic size (number of rows could grow or shrink). The programmer tested with a small population, and therefore programmed a sequential search. However the table grew from single digit numbers to almost 100 entries. The search algorithm was changed to do a sequential search for 10 or fewer items, and a binary search for larger number of entries.
CPU time dropped dramatically in the production environment. Other code reviews include looking for copyrighted sources that are pasted into the code without suitable permissions.
I happen to be part time programmer, having started with mainframe (ibm 360) and 8088/6502 assembly languages.
Will I and my family be able to live perpetually? Is there going to be a way to take my 70+ year brain and revitalize the short-term (scratchpad) memory.
I find there are things that have to be done in many fronts.
I find the USA puts more importance on public infrastructure than it does on education. And the public prefers MacDonalds to family together eating home cooked meals More family time is spent together would make parents aware of education and it's needs.
OK so, education needs a beefing up. But that is not all. There must be a gradual drop in standard of living. You do this by just maintaining the status quo. By so doing, salaries will be frozen, while the salaries offshore continue to rise. At some point, salaries in the USA will become competitive. Not everyone needs two or 3 IPADs around the house, or the 57 inch Wall mounted TV.
No country has exclusivity on creativity or intelligence. Get rid of all the war mongering (Iraq, Afganistan) and move some of that money into education. Reward ideas, fix up the patent laws, which are abusive and ever so costly to American small business.
If I was Obama, I would bring the troops home as quickly as possible. Leave them here to fight the drug warlords from Latin America.
I drove in France with rotaries, that were wide enough for three lanes. That gave vehicles a lot of clearance and really, never heard of an accident during the 8 months I was there. Even firetrucks or 53foot cabs with trailers made it through without problems.
What is great about it, is that the municipality does not have to finance the traffic lights and pay the electricity for dumb electromechanical equipment.
I would think, more than likely, that Google did not have this concept of 7 days return in their software, and that it would take quite a bit of time to implement. I also believe that it is a good law. We consumers do need protection -vis eBay purchases where you get hammered for unopened packages that were water logged.
Caveat Emptor
Due to absence of major banks, they use an application that allows a user to put money onto his cell phone. Since this is so practical, almost every commerce is supporting this. You buy the money at a pharamacy, with a discount taken by the pharmacy.
You make purchases (pay taxi driver), etc, with cellphone to cellphone transfer. He pays with his cellphone and the store. If real cash is required they go to the pharamacy and redeem an amount from that on the cellphone.
I am not certain, but the banks and visa/mastercard are not involved. This makes this process very affordable for commerce and the people on the street.
Why are your fees so high? I am on DSL, I have unlimited downloads, (at about 800kbs) and slower upload speeds. All for $24.00/mo plus $8.00/mo for a dryloop.
Why are your rates in the $80+ ranges?
Why should the patent office not be told that from now on, they have an obligation to advise the various standard organizations about software related patents.
I can't see how any algorithm can be patented. I could see it being copyrighted, when it is published.
We need in reality, to dispense with software patents altogether.
But definitely unnecessary for computer science, but certainly for construction, and industries requiring design of physical components. Anyone going into CS must be prepared to suffer patent lawsuits, until you learn to switch professions.
And engineering for construction means the jobs cant be off-shored.
Suppose your data was actually stored in a country that undergoes a civil war, and in the process, the powers that be disconnect the country from the internet for two or three weeks, eventually returning it.
What would your business do? Stop dead in it's tracks, or switch to paper?
What is art to me may be offensive to you. (No, not porn). Porn is already difficult to distinguish from art. Unless it is still pictures.
I presume the Tennessee is really directing it's wrath at videos.
The future lies outside of the USA, and that is because of patents. The rest of the world doesn't respect software patents, and therefore, in the future, most software run in the USA will be from abroad, or from USA companies who are headquartered abroad.
