- I think people who put the "*" of pointer syntax near the variable name and not the type name when declaring pointers should be shot. It should always be int*
pointer_to_int, not int *pointer_to_int.
People who put the * next to the type are the ones who should be shot.
The TSA is a magic tiger-scaring stone. A very, very expensive tiger scaring stone.
Except it isn't. Or the saying would go "See I've got this tiger scaring stone, and no tigers have attacked me." The passer by would then ask "Well what about that shoe bomb tiger that mauled you a few years ago?" TSA responds with "Ohhh well that stone didn't work, so I have this newer bigger, more expensive stone." "Ohhh well what about that underwear tiger? He wasn't scared of your little stone." TSA answered with "Yeah see the stone worked. After the tiger attacked, I was able to capture the tiger. I updated the stone too." etc etc etc.
If you remove IE, components totally unrelated to web browsing or the Internet WILL fail, because the libraries are crafted to include totally irrelevant code that is critical for other components.
Anyone can make absurd claims. Windows libraries are not crafted to include totally irrelevant code. But the internet libraries do include code on how to render HTML. You can render HTML without doing web browsing, or even using the Internet. Like maybe you want to see the contents of a.html file that is on your local drive, or perhaps some internal Windows dialogs use HTML rendering?
I'm sitting in the airport as I write this. I have some skateboard wheels in my carry on. TSA freaked out, the TSA agent informed me that on the xray they look like cream. (ohhh to be attacked by cream!) At this point I went into a rant... She responded with "The threat is real."
WHAT threat? That someone might blow the plane up? It is more likely to have engine trouble than have someone blow the plane up. And the BS about "well it must be working, because nothing has happened in the last 10 years." Well (ignoring the issues that did happen that TSA didn't prevent) if you really want to get something on the plane, a half smart person can do it.
it IS communication. It is the #1 reason I use facebook, to communicate with people I know around the world.
Email needs to die, it has served its purpose. Right now, it is just a huge drain on resources since 90% of resources used are to fight SPAM.
No, No it doesn't need to die. Email is still useful For one thing I don't want every want my messages with one person be all merged into one long stream every every communication I've had with that one person. But you claim that Email needs to die because A) it is a drain on resources. (whose?) and B) it is inefficient (as if HTML is more efficient) You do realize that if email dies, then that spam content will move to facebook. Replace "email" with "stream of messages." Pretty much any issue you have with email, can also be applied to facebook's messaging system
7) Stop filling out your own marketing profiles. Revolt. You are a human being, not a datapoint.
But you ARE a datapoint. Get over it, and move on with life.
The day I join Social Networking is when I can host my own personal P2P SNS that does not allow any huge corporation like Google to analyze my personal data and relationships.
So you are planning on dropping off the grid, living off the land, and not having contact with anyone?
I've almost never bought anything based solely on an ad.
Are you sure about that? Sure you might research big purchases (even then I would be that sub consciously ads effect your decision) But what about small purchases, like the kind of toilet paper you use. How do you know about new items? You might have seen it in an ad.
See, when teams do their own hiring they get bogged down in evaluating whether or not the candidate already knows how to do some specific areas of their job.
I worked for years at a company that had the teams do their own hiring. And while interviewing candidates was one of the hardest things I did, I never felt that we were bogged down evaluating whether the candidate knew how to perform some specific area. We looked for smart people who knew how to write code. If someone is smart enough, they can pick up what they need to know.
A large company shouldn't hire for the team, they should hire for the company, because that is what they are doing. The person you hired to be a perfect fit for your small team might disappear into the rest of the company tomorrow.
As for Google, no HR doesn't do the hiring. But a SINGLE team does. People are interviewed by various teams (my understanding is more that one team has to interview someone) The feedback is passed up, and a single committee reviews all of the feedback and gives the hire/no hire decision.
I think if I had a choice to work at Google or Amazon, I'd pick Google. Mostly because of the perks issue, but a large corporation is a large corporation. Google probably does more right than Amazon, but it is no where near as lopsided as this guy makes it out to be.
I got all excited, finally someone attempting to challenge the Anti Constitution Act (err Patriot Act, whatever). And then I saw that they are only questioning Section 215. Apparently the first 214 sections are ok. Just how many freaking sections does it have?
So the only way to be an excellent programmer is to work for a company that already does things correctly? That seems like the lazy answer.
I'm not saying he should stay... But if he helps move the company to the proper tool set he won't be a lazy programmer.
because that's where the developers building new cloud infrastructure are doing most of their work.
You do realize Microsoft and Apple have a lot of developers, and they can hire more. If they need more people to build cloud infrastructure, they will. Microsoft was able to build an entire OS without using Open Source Software. They can also build an entire Cloud Infrastructure without using Open Source Software.
. Can anyone give any scientifically-based, sound reasoning about how this can actually work without trampling everyone's rights?
It can't
If you remove the "without trampling everyone's rights" part, then it is possible that this system could possible work. But here is the real problem... Suppose I'm about ready to commit some heinous crime. I go in, all steaming, enough to set off the alarms. And then at the last second I decide not to commit the crime... And that really is the problem with something like this.
It isn't so much as "Innocent until proven guilty." It is more like "Innocent until a crime is actually committed."
So what? You know the Republican AND the Democrats have infiltrated the US government as well. We need to be more paranoid!
Communism is an ideal, a belief, as an American you have a right to believe in it.
You are being Anti American by trying to squash it.
Patents are legal tools to aid in delaying a competitor. Once you understand that, then the real value of patents become clear.
Of course I didn't RTFA, but according to the sumarry I think this is IPVision's point. But the patents are only good legal tools if the net they cast is a big net with few holes. "Patents are most useful when they are tightly linked " It seems to imply that the more patents you have in an area, the better chance that your competitor is infringing one... uhmmm DUH!
You know, there isn't a lot to an original Model T. I bet, if you did a bit of research, you could probably manufacturer a replica today for under $3K. Of course it wouldn't meet any of today's standards, and wouldn't really be driveable, so not many will purchase one, which of course means the end result would be more than $3K.
PS anyone else ever get annoyed by how Wikipedia is inconsistent in how it lists statistics for planetary bodies? Drives me nuts when trying to make comparisons, or even just get useful information.
I don't understand the problem. IANAL but looking at the treaty it doesn't allow the US to do anything more than can be done today.
For Example:
in accordance with its laws and regulations, its
competent authorities with the authority to order an online service provider to disclose
expeditiously to a right holder information sufficient to identify a subscriber whose
account was allegedly used for infringement
Maybe I'm missing something, but this doesn't give any more permission to do anything.
Pandora has recently added a tie-in with Facebook. I
As far as I can tell Pandora will import your profile photo, music favorites and friends list FROM facebook. I don't see anything that goes the other way.
Perhaps you should watch some of the other videos.
The cops are also blocking the street, traffic isn't going anywhere (especially since there is no driver in the parked cars)
Other videos show what they people are doing, they are staying on the sidewalk behind the "police line" until one is pulled across the line, for as far as I can tell (from four different cameras) for talking, and two others are peppered sprayed. ALL three of the victims were on the sidewalk behind the "police line."
Apparently if you are a cop, legally charged with making people move (although you've done NOTHING to make the people move) you apparently, A) pepper spray them, and B) yank them over the barrier and into the middle of the street,
Yes, it does. Your right to protest does not override my right to travel and conduct business.
Yeah, actually it does. Protests tend to shut down streets, and protesters take up space. It impedes your right to travel and conduct business. And you know, that is sort of the point of the protest.
They can impede your travel and business, but they can't stop it. That is where the difference is.
Sorry but these people came with the intent of being annoying and disruptive a
That is the point of a protest. If a protest isn't annoying and disruptive no one will pay attention to it, and it won't accomplish anything. You can be annoying and disruptive and still be peaceful.
