  1. Re: Irrelevant on Slashdot Asks: How Do You Know a Developer is Doing a Good Job? · · Score: 2

    Me, too. I was in a business computing class taught by an accountant in 1982. The instructor stated that there would be no more programming in five years, because everything would have been written and that would be necessary is to string the components together. He went on to say that we should change our majors to accounting. Karnak, didn't foresee the day when programmers would begin to nibble away at his job. It right up there with the predictions that there would never be more than two million cars because no more than two million people would want to be chauffeurs, or that two hundred computers would be all that's required to handle the needs of the world.

    Wouldn't it be better to findout now rather than during an actual emergency? Perhaps it would wake-up the shareholders of AT&T that instead of investing in their infrastructure, management is only investing in their bonuses.

    No it's called a Bolo.

  5. Re:XSLT on Creating Web Pages With Ajax · · Score: 1

    You're right, it is much faster. Another advantage is that the XSL can be cached, which will reduce the amount of traffic going back and forth. To qoute Patten, "Never pay twice for the same real estate."

  6. Re:next.... on So How Do You Code an AJAX Web Page? · · Score: 1

    Hey, it is only an excerpt. In later chapters I go into how this is accomplished in other browsers. Actually, Firefox is my favorite browser, it provides better diagnostic messages.

  7. First computer on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    A TRS80 Pocket Computer Model 1. It had 1.4K of memory and was programmable in Tiny Basic. The odd part is that it still works.
