Naming standards have to be adhered to for them to work, but formatting should be a macro/button press away (if it isn't automatically enforced as you code) and shouldn't be an issue.
Many here would say BitTorrent. Some here will say "digital copy". And a few others will say "my server does that for me".
I don't need an optical drive on ALL of my machines....just one of them.....or an external drive that can be moved around as needed. (The Surface supports regular USB devices -- just like your laptop.)
It probably would have helped if they had used the right letters. In the last line, it should be GQIRW. The writer's F's were shaped entirely different (as evident in the second line).
I would be that those ceremonies have to be performed on land granted to the tribe.....which is considered an sovereign nation.....that's why so many Indian tribes run casinos even when states outlaw it.....the tribes can make up their own laws.
Copyright of a design? I'm pretty sure that's where it best fits. Patents should be about inventions not (artistic) designs.
If I were in charge, I'd abolish design patents and move them to the copyright office. Software patents can exist, but source code must be published (just like physical designs must be revealed in a patent) and an alternate implementation be allowed (just like with physical inventions).
With a physical invention I can create something (say an internal combustion engine) and someone can come along and intent an entirely new type of internal combustion engine (i.e. a Wenkle engine) and it's perfectly valid. However, with software patents, I can create "a program for displaying text on the screen" and that covers *EVERY* implementation of that idea even if they take completely different and novel approaches.
In the business world, MIS (management information systems/science) is actually more common than CS (my degree is in CS). In general, it's the difference between Applied and Theoretical Physics (MIS being the applied and CS being the theoretical). Both degrees can code, but CS learns more of the theory. In general, CS is higher on the pyramid, but I know individuals with MIS degrees that are better than some CS coders, so it's just a rule of thumb.
As far as title, mine is "Senior Consultant". I do the same work as a "Software Developer" but my bill rate is higher.:)
This is the type of response I would spend mod points on if I had them. On the Internet, you can either be helpful or a troll (or a lurker) and people who choose to be a troll are really annoying.
I would expect Microsoft to partner with Nokia on making the device (i.e. how Google partnered with Asus for the Nexus 7). It will be Microsoft designed and branded with Nokia doing the manufacturing. Nokia gets a cut of the Nokia branded devices as well as the MS branded ones. Won't hurt the partnership and still lets MS have their own phone.
Prime streaming got better with the Epix deal. Regardless, it's similar content to Netflix in terms of "recent" movies (Netflix still has a wider selection of older movies -- plus the physical library you have access to with Netflix).
Open Source is free for everyone to use, not just the guys that contribute back to the community (jQuery, Knockout, node.js, Apache, Linux, etc. etc.). Now, companies may want to support your company because you give back, but you can't do work "faster" just because you are an open source company (maybe because you are more talented, but not because you are an open source company).....
I can change my IP address to anything I want. Sure, if it's in use, there will be collisions and what not, but if I get lucky, it's unused. But from the standpoint of the argument, which IP address does my ISP think I have? The one I got via DHCP from their servers? Or the one I manually set (assume it's still one of the ISPs pool of numbers and I got lucky with one that was currently free). Also assume my MAC address is spoofed to BEEFCAKE or what have you.
Other than the part about hating.Net, this is the answer.
I'm in my 40's and am a.Net programmer (and enjoy the Microsoft space) and I continue to learn new things every day. If you aren't going to learn, the yes, get out. Otherwise, go for it. There *ARE* still companies using VB.Net -- as a consultant, I've been on more than one project that uses it. While I prefer C#, there's jobs out there for someone of the OPs skillset.
One nice thing about virtualization. It's a lot easier to take a copy of a VM and spin it up somewhere so that the configuration *IS* the same and you can debug something without affecting the live systems. (Ok, technically there is a delta -- security permissions -- but that's the only thing that should be different, although it does sometimes make a difference.)
Edit configuration files Run scripts (but not write them) Set up cron jobs Set permissions Install software etc.
The GP only called out scripting as an advanced skill. There are plenty of installations that don't require writing scripts that you'd pass off to a junior Linux guy.
The patent office can just click the little "invalidate" button on that patent......problem solved and the patent troll has one less bullet in its gun.
If it's enterprise class, you have a team responsible for the stability of the servers (support) that is not the same as the developers. Sometimes, you even have a team responsbile for just deployments (depends on size of the org). The developers should have access to install in DEV, but not to TEST. This allows you to test your deployment process (and backout process) before you touch your PROD environment.

Dell sold a 12" netbook. It was the netbook guts with a bigger screen. 7 to 9 was the most common, but bigger ones existed.

Ditto.
Whether I do it for work or for play, I'll always code.
It's even worse when you try to figure out how to fold them.......
Windows 95. Active Desktop.
Sure, the implementation was plagued with bugs, but it would update square widgets with data from remote sources. It was in Win95.
+1 to this guy.

But he wouldn't win against Cowboy Neal.
So, what about this:
I can change my IP address to anything I want. Sure, if it's in use, there will be collisions and what not, but if I get lucky, it's unused. But from the standpoint of the argument, which IP address does my ISP think I have? The one I got via DHCP from their servers? Or the one I manually set (assume it's still one of the ISPs pool of numbers and I got lucky with one that was currently free). Also assume my MAC address is spoofed to BEEFCAKE or what have you.
An an open source supporter, you devalue the work we do. So, fair is fair.

DNT doesn't preclude them from making money (as they claim). They just need to do a better job of selecting their ads to target their audience.
