any estore you can find by searching oscommerce word in google and having a listing of osc stores is economically viable. i have seen many individuals set up small businesses through this method.
you people working in corporate world live in a totally different dimension it seems. you are far detached from whats happening outside it. shame.
those are salaried jobs in medium or bigger corporations. they are POSITIONS. they do not constitute 'ecommerce'. and on dice, one of the biggest places that serves for such hirings, there are only 74 fucking asp.net positions. one of the biggest, and there are 74 positions. which will mean 74 people will at most be working on 1 or 3 projects or so in 74 different corporations.
whereas, in elance, which distributes PROJECTS as opposed to hired salaried positions, there are today PHP (568) and ASP.NET (72) projects. PROJECTS. not salaried positions. that means 568 separate projects as opposed to 74 in your dice's salaried positions are going to be conducted under php whereas 72 opposed to asp.net.
you are the one talking out of your ass, confusing salaried job positions with the volume of ecommerce. and 72, on a site like dice fails at that to boot too. such a serious, high traffic and usage site, and only 72 positions for people to work on 1-2 projects at a time when they are hired, for singular corporations.
but hey - dont let that discourage you from posting something totally out of your ass by confusing 2 separate concepts altogether.
Sure it does exist, the crowd controller is the guy with the machinegun, or flamethrower. In medieval times, it'd be the guy who sets off some elaborate trap, like making a tree trunk roll down the battlefield.
machine gun does not control anyone. it does not prevent you from moving your finger. you hurl a grenade to the emplacement, and it ends the thing.
show me 3 battles in which tree trunks were rolled thus effectively. braveheart doesnt create historical commonplace.
You can do it, it just wouldn't work well. In a game you're in for a long time engagement. If your team is all guys with swords, at some point archers in the trees will snipe all of you with no effort. If all archers, fighters can ambush you. There's a reason why armies aren't all made of archers.
in rpgs you dont have armies. 4 people do not constitute an army.
your point is wrong. my approach is in terms of COMBAT techniques, whereas yours is from social perspective. its not correct in that respect either - for soldiers, henchmen were well fed during those ages, because they were the means to enforce lord's will. landing a job as a soldier was a good thing for anyone, for they were sure to be fed.
please dont bullcrap if you are not in industry. i am one of the web developers who specializes in ecommerce web development. and the current situation is, nothing is able to come close to php+mysql for developing ecommerce/business websites. leave aside individual requests for quotes, the projects you will see in contract websites like elance, rentacoder and the like will be predominantly php+mysql. you will be hard pressed to find asp / asp.net projects as a fraction of them even.
the situation is so ridiculous that despite new lamp developers get into business every single day, demand seems to be rising faster than the supply and there is not a lack of projects, even for people who are charging a few times the rate indian houses charge.
the only clients who go with, or stuck with asp.net are corporate clients which are bigger than medium size. because they are already locked in with microsoft products, the natural route they choose happens to be going ms all the way. however, the number of such clients are few, because a corporation which is of medium size and larger would easily be able to have their own i.t. department, and make them work on their ecommerce/business project. few such projects are contracted out to software houses or developers. not that there are many medium+ sized corporations looking to set up an ecommerce/business presence on the web either...
therefore lamp is the predominant choice in all respects. its so very curious that a 'php developer' has become a broad, generic definition - there have come up a lot of specializations. 'scripts' of yesterday have grown to become specialization areas in themselves. the 'php' part is expected by default...... ecommerce developer. oscommerce developer. phpbb developer. vbulletin developer. joomla developer. postnuke developer. people post up jobs with these titles, not even needing to mention php, because its accepted as default.
dont err me by thinking that i am a php fanatic, or ms enemy. true, i love php. and true, i dislike ms. but foremost, im a professional. the current state of market is as thus, and all are - naturally - obliged to respect its demands.
i just finished dragon age origins. again there was the stereotypical class definitions and mechanic that made little sense.
a 'tank' which is horribly strong enough to stop a dragon by holding a shield, but it suddenly became less effective when you gave him a huge 2 hander to swing around, despite all the strength (in practice) it should have because stopping anything with a shield requires huge strength.
arch demons, strong and smart enough to marshal entire armies stupidly attacking some party member designated as 'tank', and getting its ass spanked. 'threat' my ass.
the forced stupidity that says a ranged class, especially archer/ranger, should be less effective a damage dealer and should have pathetically low range to make melee classes viable. crossbows which were strong enough to punch full plate + chanmail sets of armor from close range to instantly kill knights does 'damage' to them instead. archers are able to only shoot effectively at 42 yards range. as if agincourt has never happened. the feeling of a real ranger/archer which lurks in a forest/area and snipes the enemy from afar without enemy ever being aware of him/her, is nowhere to be found in games, despite they were a common occurrence in real history and is a frequent occurrence in fantasy fiction.
insanely powerful, stupid mage class. press a button, and freeze 10 enemies to sleep or something. spells 'ignore' armor. the 'crowd control' stupidity, which has never existed in any real battle situation, hell even in no legend/lore the earth civilization has had up to this point, including the later fiction works, leave aside ancient legends. pitt a party of 4 against 10 enemies to create 'challenge', and then be obliged to put the stupid 'crowd control' concept into the game. if you were going to let me freeze 8 out of 10 enemies with 'crowd control' and deal with them one by one, why did you put 10 enemies to challenge me in the first place...
weapon inconsistencies. the hilariously stupid 'dual wield' thing, which does more 'dps' than other weapons. dual wield... something that has never been a reality or practicality in entire world history, even including the daggers 17th century musketeers used to wield in left hand for extra control and exploiting occasional openings in duels. go 1-2 centuries backwards, and you will find that lighter weapons which can be wielded in one hand couldnt do shit against heavy armor, and every knight either used swords +shield combo or heavy 2 hander mauls or maces to penetrate armor and negate it, if they were not mounted with a lance. yet, for some reason we have this 'damage' dealing dual wielding nonsense in every goddamn game.
stupid classes. a 'bard' class, that noone can say what it practically does. vague lines to distinguish it even the rogue set it is supposed to belong. 'sings and entrances enemies'. really ? i mean, really ? you sing, and you entrance a demon with your song and freeze it. but isnt that definition of some kind of magic ?
stealth nonsense. going invisible in broad daylight in open field and moving towards an enemy and 'ambushing' it. total hilarity. and that's despite the success Thief series had in gaming industry. they still didnt wake up to the fact that more realism means more excitement for the player.
no flexibility. you HAVE to have a tank, a healer, a controller and a damage dealer. the same old shit everywhere, every game. no variation. no room for an all melee warband or all archer bandit squad. you need to rinse and repeat the same ancient, derelict format in every game. no room for error too - you have to increase tank's defenses, resistances so that it will hold the insanely stupid archdemons, you have to get cc spells for your mage so that it will be able to negate 8 out of 10 enemies you are presented for 'challenge'.
and the 'dungeon' concept. it was fun back in 1980s, but its not fun anymore. fighting and killing 13182356216 random mobs and 2 mini bosses and a major boss at the end o
economist is a publication that publishes whatever is needed by the industries and private interests it backs at that point. it can even impliedly support radical islamicization of 3rd world countries and the erosion of civil freedoms and liberties in those countries, if the radical islamicization appears to be good for business in those countries.
in short, economist is a publication that can easily sell its mother if there is profit to be made in there. dont give us any shit about reputation of the Economist.
global warming means 1 to 3 degrees celsius rise in AVERAGE world temperature. it does NOT mean that every single place will get warmer. the AVERAGE temperature will rise.
what global warming means for us is that, for this average temperature rise to happen, there will be a lot of temperature changes in innumerable places around the world. some places will get extremely hotter, some will get extremely colder. in some places, temperature will hardly change, or in some places it wont change at all.
the thing is that, ALL of these extreme and minimal changes all around the world is going to get averaged into a 1 to 3 degrees rise in AVERAGE world temperature.
in layman's terms it will be disaster. because we cant know and calculate which place will get what kind of temperature change. greenland can get noticeably hotter. japan may get extremely colder. or ocean currents can dampen japan's extreme cold and make it a mild place, but carry the cold to some other place. mega floods may hit some places, droughts may hit others. actually some of these are already happening.
world climate is chaotic. we cant calculate what will happen where, when and how. this is the point here. not your average temperature getting hotter so its a good thing (TM).
People with high/. ID numbers aren't anywhere near that stage of their lives.
i didnt know that slashdot ID numbers were handed out according to age from the census ministry.
And if my father needs us to take care of him when we get old, he'd move in with us, not vice versa.
what's the fucking difference.
Even so, you deal with corporations on a regular basis relying (if you live in an industrialized country) on them for all the basic material needs of your life
ha, so he buys bread from the local store, buys cheese from the shop, goes buys a few items from wal mart, and its just like that is it ?
you can disengage ONLY if you dont have people to care for, and you do not risk starving/humiliation yourself. otherwise, you are pretty well fixed wherever you are, unless you are a modern day aristocrat. you say fuck off to microsofts comcasts at&ts warner bros of the world, but they still rule the world. whats the difference ?
despite the 'evidence' they purport for the bullshit about those ice age disinformation being there for over 200 years or more, up to the point that climate change has been brought up there has been NO theory or anything regarding such climate changes in conjunction with ice ages.
AND the ice age bullshit itself came after the private interests tried to muddy the waters with solar activity bait, which failed because the sun was in the most still decade ever recorded in history.
RIGHT after their initial shit has been debunked, the ice age bullshit has come up. to fool idiots like you.
anyone with 2 brain cells would think... if there was any cycle it HAD to have kept running affecting all the globe in 10-30 k cycles regularly. whereas the data there does not point to anything like that.
use your brains. there is NO cycle. just like there was no 'peak solar activity'. when this ice age cycle shit is soundly debunked, suddenly a new 'theory' funded by a private university or a think thank which is backed by private interests is going to pop up, to fool idiots like you and muddy the waters.
He is stupid. Programming is a cross between art painting and house cleaning. If he cant supply you a room which you people wont be distracted by anything, then he should shut the fuck up.
in addition, in order to feel comfortable any programmer needs his/her own music to give the kicks occasionally. its like brain drug.
actually you should quit that place and find another job. given the magnitude of lack of competitiveness of your boss in regard to management, eventually its going to sink.
everyone knows it is extremely easy to trick a user to send some messages/invitations to masses of friends/groups s/he has no intention of sending them.
american corporatism. everywhere. not only screwing, but also fooling americans. yet there are still morons who think that unregulated corporatism can work.
i want to kick every fucking moron who doubts climate change in the face. in addition, i want to kick every fucking snake in fox news in the face two times over.
i wonder which tune those bastards who are muddying the waters about the climate change due to their personal gains or fears of minor tax increases would be singing, if the sinking church was their community's and sinking home was theirs, just like in the video.
isnt it THAT simple ? doing business i mean ? since the dawn of civilization ?
i pay you something, you give me the product. it HAS to be that way.
just charge me your unit of bandwidth and a percentage of profit per each unit i use, and make sure i get ALL the bandwith I PAY FOR. doing anything other than this is SCAMMING people.
let me tell you one thing buddy, if, you, as a contributing member of the society, have gone to zero from six figures and then back, in a time and age of modern living and upcoming space age, this shows the failure of the current civilization due to its extreme instability and ineptitude to care its participants.
it is a fucking pointer of failure, than a success. especially when you consider that 15% of world population has 80% of the wealth AND income, and this is NO different from medieval times, where the nobility reapt 1 out of 10 of your farm produce.
the only fucking difference is this tho - back then you were forced to labor, now you are working like a slave on your own free will, still living in same comparable standards to the top 15% of the society as the serfs lived in comparison to their lords - but you come up here and fucking defend that system. this is the difference.
what the FUCK is wrong if someone lives with their parents ? are you aware that in other parts of the world, children are EXPECTED to live with their parents when they grow old and take care of them ? it may be to the contrary in your socially challenged america, but however this is the way it is in majority of the world.
and, isnt it possible that he could be making his (or her) living through non corporate, freelance means, just like me, who is typing these lines ?
let me tell you one thing - before shitting generalizations about people you dont know, you need to broaden your horizon. for, it is apparently lacking A LOT.
we, the internet people, do NOT like being told off, leave aside such things. lets put the fucking document on every p2p platform so that it will go around forever. and upload it to every goddamn user generated content site.
fucktards. to think that they seemed to be compliant with the rising net culture of freedom and progress some time before....
So if I spend a year to produce a product and then make a monetary profit in the first week it goes on sale then my product should immediately become free and I shouldn't receive any more money for it? Who decides how much profit I should make before my product becomes free, the state? It was my understanding that in a capitalist economy that I make a product, and sell it at whatever price I think will make me the most money based upon demand.
yes. it should be. for, you cant have any artificial advantage which is provided by artificially enforced laws, and not market itself. a factory produces X units of a product, sells those X units and makes a profit. a factory cant keep charging the buyers again and again for the same product. its that simple.
who decides how much profit you should be making, is the people. they are the 'market'. therefore since people pirate the movies and other stuff, they do NOT think that you should be making profit over the same thing over and over again. period.
if you sold the product from a price market would accept as acceptable, then you wouldnt have piracy problem. its that simple. just like how piracy and smuggling ended in late part of 18th century with the increasing free trade and end of state sponsored monopolies. when the price of non pirated goods became similar to those of pirated goods, noone bothered with buying pirated. simple. plain. real.
Yes. I don't know where the hell your from, but here EVERY time I go down to the Nissan dealer and try to get another copy of an XTerra they charge me for it. Even if I just want a backup copy. I'm not really sure what the analogy is you're trying to make here. You pay once for a song and then you can listen to it as much as you please. If you're buying the same exact song more then once then your doing it wrong.
no you dont.
what they do, but people are evading, and what they are trying to force is, to have you pay multiple times over and over. you paid 15 bucks and saw the movie in theater ? ok. but they want you pay AGAIN if you want to have it in another platform. cd, hard disk, gsm, doesnt matter. they even want to lock you in to devices, and make you pay for the same format twice if you want to use it in another device.
there is not a SINGLE fucking thing right about this.
Because a digital picture of a car is not a car. A digital recording of a song IS a song. What is your suggestion, that a band play one concert, an artist paint one painting, a movie have one showing, and charge enough for it to make up for the production costs and then let digital replicas be free thereafter?
digital picture of a car is STILL a product. its not something that is out of this world and hence should be subject to other rules and laws. same goes for 'digital recording' of a song, same goes for anything else. i will tell what my suggestion is after i reply to below block
Or does it make just a wee bit more sense that if you want their digital product that you pay for that file with the agreement you won't share it with other people, and if the price is more then you wish to pay, then you simply don't buy it until price is lowered to a value YOU deem acceptable? In your case apparently, you should wait until they offer it for free.
no it doesnt make sense. for, it is not what is happening.
if you put artificial rules to restrict anything, you create the mechanics to create monopolies. its simple as that. yea, i may just choose not to watch a movie. or i may choose just not to listen a song.
but, any sufficiently strong producing source will be able to monopolize majority of artists and creators in order to create a monopoly on creative goods. this is NOT something that is 'fair', 'normal' and 'acceptable' - it doesnt matter whether they do it through fair means or not, in the end the result is a monopoly. a monopoly, is a monopoly. it doesnt matter
and no country in the world has the power to push anything to china, due to their huge market. u.s., its even a joke - chinese government virtually is the owner of us government now, due to the huge bonds it holds. if they just let go of the amount of dollars they hold, us economy will go sooo down that it may not be able to recover in decades.
i really look forward to see those neocon dipshits take that acta to china.

what the FUCK is wrong if someone lives with their parents ? are you aware that in other parts of the world, children are EXPECTED to live with their parents when they grow old and take care of them ? it may be to the contrary in your socially challenged america, but however this is the way it is in majority of the world.
and, isnt it possible that he could be making his (or her) living through non corporate, freelance means, just like me, who is typing these lines ?
let me tell you one thing - before shitting generalizations about people you dont know, you need to broaden your horizon. for, it is apparently lacking A LOT.
we, the internet people, do NOT like being told off, leave aside such things. lets put the fucking document on every p2p platform so that it will go around forever. and upload it to every goddamn user generated content site.
fucktards. to think that they seemed to be compliant with the rising net culture of freedom and progress some time before ....
nothing can bring them back. maybe only getting totally sold to google can establish trust in them from now on. horrible.
Internet is come. 21st century is come.
either adapt, or perish. we, 'the people', wont support or tolerate anything against the values of digital, free 21st century world.
So if I spend a year to produce a product and then make a monetary profit in the first week it goes on sale then my product should immediately become free and I shouldn't receive any more money for it? Who decides how much profit I should make before my product becomes free, the state? It was my understanding that in a capitalist economy that I make a product, and sell it at whatever price I think will make me the most money based upon demand.
yes. it should be. for, you cant have any artificial advantage which is provided by artificially enforced laws, and not market itself. a factory produces X units of a product, sells those X units and makes a profit. a factory cant keep charging the buyers again and again for the same product. its that simple.
who decides how much profit you should be making, is the people. they are the 'market'. therefore since people pirate the movies and other stuff, they do NOT think that you should be making profit over the same thing over and over again. period.
if you sold the product from a price market would accept as acceptable, then you wouldnt have piracy problem. its that simple. just like how piracy and smuggling ended in late part of 18th century with the increasing free trade and end of state sponsored monopolies. when the price of non pirated goods became similar to those of pirated goods, noone bothered with buying pirated. simple. plain. real.
Yes. I don't know where the hell your from, but here EVERY time I go down to the Nissan dealer and try to get another copy of an XTerra they charge me for it. Even if I just want a backup copy.
I'm not really sure what the analogy is you're trying to make here. You pay once for a song and then you can listen to it as much as you please. If you're buying the same exact song more then once then your doing it wrong.
no you dont.
what they do, but people are evading, and what they are trying to force is, to have you pay multiple times over and over. you paid 15 bucks and saw the movie in theater ? ok. but they want you pay AGAIN if you want to have it in another platform. cd, hard disk, gsm, doesnt matter. they even want to lock you in to devices, and make you pay for the same format twice if you want to use it in another device.
there is not a SINGLE fucking thing right about this.
Because a digital picture of a car is not a car. A digital recording of a song IS a song. What is your suggestion, that a band play one concert, an artist paint one painting, a movie have one showing, and charge enough for it to make up for the production costs and then let digital replicas be free thereafter?
digital picture of a car is STILL a product. its not something that is out of this world and hence should be subject to other rules and laws. same goes for 'digital recording' of a song, same goes for anything else. i will tell what my suggestion is after i reply to below block
Or does it make just a wee bit more sense that if you want their digital product that you pay for that file with the agreement you won't share it with other people, and if the price is more then you wish to pay, then you simply don't buy it until price is lowered to a value YOU deem acceptable? In your case apparently, you should wait until they offer it for free.
no it doesnt make sense. for, it is not what is happening.
if you put artificial rules to restrict anything, you create the mechanics to create monopolies. its simple as that. yea, i may just choose not to watch a movie. or i may choose just not to listen a song.
but, any sufficiently strong producing source will be able to monopolize majority of artists and creators in order to create a monopoly on creative goods. this is NOT something that is 'fair', 'normal' and 'acceptable' - it doesnt matter whether they do it through fair means or not, in the end the result is a monopoly. a monopoly, is a monopoly. it doesnt matter
and no country in the world has the power to push anything to china, due to their huge market. u.s., its even a joke - chinese government virtually is the owner of us government now, due to the huge bonds it holds. if they just let go of the amount of dollars they hold, us economy will go sooo down that it may not be able to recover in decades.
i really look forward to see those neocon dipshits take that acta to china.
