Need to tell the sales department about this.
One person came to me the other day asking how to get different Excel documents of different screens.

You may need to print the video off for that person.

Beginning in September, the site is banning the sale of "advice, spells, curses, hexing, conjuring, magic, prayers, blessing services, magic potions, [and] healing sessions," according to a policy update. By the pricking of my thumbs, to Craigslist we go to find new victims

If I knew this I could have used my spare time to go sell pieces of left over road kill to people.
Yesterday I saw a fresh road killed bird on my way to go drop off my laundry. My question: How fast must one be driving in the city to road kill a bird?

|
|
|
Not sure, but I do know that hitting a pheasant at 70mph and a badger at 80mph is more than enough.

Unfortunatley, unlike hexs, etc, you have to pay shipping. Sucks, doesn't it.

You'll just have to code in Octal. It's only digits 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E and F that are hexes. And as an added advantage, you can now have funkshuns as well as functions as spelling is not permitted.

Seriously: how is this any different than the sale of virtual goods in World of Warcraft?

Think the memory card in your camera is high-capacity? It's got nothing on DNA. With data accumulating at a faster rate now than any other point in human history, scientists and engineers are looking to genetic code as a form of next-generation digital information storage. It might have to compete with that stuff in your keyboard

I thought DNA was Microsoft's latest buzzword - Distributed Network Architecture...

I think that was a few buzzwords back.

IDC's report card says Oracle's stewardship has been good for the popular development platform "Baseball, been berry, berry good to me."
|
|
|
|
|
If Oracle lets Java go, and it fails, then they are stuck with jumping onto the Microsoft bandwagon, and that is the last thing Oracle wants. Do not think C++ is a viable option for business applications.
|
|
|
|
|
There are languages other than Java, C# and C++ out there and some of them are fine for business applications. Take Ruby or Python for instance.
|
|
|
|

Of course that probably would mean that Oracle would have to invest in support since there is no single major company that is the focus for the software. C++ does have pretty significant support, but it is not really very good for business since the framework is not that good for business apps. That is why Java was created, because C++ had issues, and it still does. If C++ had been adequate, Java and C# would have never succeeded.
Oracle would just as well stick with unsupported Java. In fact there are a lot more languged than you stated: there if Fortran, Cobol, PL1, ... Probably the best option would be Ada since the US government is the main supporter.

Judge Lucy Koh has been going increasingly terse with both Apple and Samsung as the trial continues, and she just let Apple have it after receiving a 75-page briefing. The document covered 22 potential rebuttal witnesses the company might want to call after Samsung finishes presenting its case. With the jury out of the courtroom, Koh laid into Apple, asking why it would present such a lengthy document "when unless you're smoking crack you know these witnesses aren't going to be called!" I'm sure with Apple prices, they can afford better stuff

The US manufacturers of computers, phones, etc. have done a really sorry job of competing with apple, but these Korean companies like Samsung and LG have really shown that they can create compact elegant designs.

I think you might be right. This might be a case of "Stomp them before they get too big."
The weirder part is that Samsung is one of one of Apple's bigger suppliers[^].
Big companies are so strange and dysfunctional. There used to be a group at Microsoft called "Technical Diplomats". Their job was to interact with companies that part of Microsoft was trying to put out of business while other parts of Microsoft depended on them.

Today, talking about doing a big design up-front (BDUF) sounds a bit ridiculous, right? Who would do that? That's not craftsmanship, is it? It was the best of software development, it was the worst of software development

Just so you know, C# is better than whatever language you use.
