I know everyone is all over Uber and and the other one because the cars are "nicer" and the service "better" than cabs. But I have a basic problem with Uber and Lift, and that is in the fakery of their liability claims. The facts are ( as presented in MANY news stories) if you get injured in an Uber or Lift car, those CORPORATE entities will deny virtually all liability. So you go after the driver, right? But guess what? He's not insured for paying passengers. SHELL GAME.
The story implies that COBOL is an ancient outdated language. But this is not true. COBOL serves a specific niche and does so quite well, and indeed like C and FORTRAN has been enhanced through the ages. Sure, you can't really code a bleeding edge website with COBOL (and FORTRAN), but that's not what they are for.
Scientists Regenerate Rat Muscle Tissue
Dinner is served.
Why would they require anything different than any other electronics "discovery" kit? I mean, are we talking about guys with no hands so the kit needs to be prosthetic friendly? Or maybe it needs to be a kit that can not be used to make an IED?
Serious question, what does PTSD or whatever have anything to do with this question?
Anyway, it's a sad sad thing that HeathKit no longer exists...
And I haven't paid them dick and STILL don't see any ads.
So you are a free-loading asshole?
Jury Nullification
The reality is that this almost never happens. And it will not happen in this case, where the "defendant" is not only accused of being a drug kingpin, but also of putting out "hits" on people he didn't like. He's not going to look good to a jury. Say what you will about drug laws, but this guy "allegedly" took substantial steps to murder people.
I paid Slashdot $5 or $10 a few years ago, and have't seen an ad since.
Did I specify "desktop"? No I did not. I'm still the customer, asshole, get over yourself.
I dont 'serve' you, we are peers.
If you are in "support" than yes, you *do* serve me. We may be "peers", but I AM YOUR CUSTOMER.
If you can't handle that, get out of "support".
What a useless and whinging article! You find remote support frustrating?
It's more than that. these "support" people find their "users" objectionable - the people for whom they serve and the reason they have a job.
Many if not most people use computers for a varying scale of applications. Most of these people are not "computer professionals". If you are in "support", your job is to "support" these people. If you can't handle that, it's time for a new job.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin has not and never will launch a rocket. Like Amazon, it is a Patent Troll.
SpaceX is actually doing things in space. Blue Origin is just the money hungry Bezos looking for more money without actually doing anything to deserve it.
well to be fair, im sure a civil case is going to happen. Its just sick. I wonder if there will be any riots over this one
Nah. It was wrong, but people generally don't riot over the death of a rich dude.
Rich white dude.
Anyway it is slightly different that shooting some guy with his hands up, or shooting some guy running away - a pretty standard cop thing. The guy is just as dead, and the point is that the cop was negligent yet being held to different - much lower - standard that a citizen. One expects cops to be held to higher standards, but we find that it just isn't so.
if me or you did this, we would be locked up on vehicular manslaughter
I had said that in the story submission, but the "editors" took it out.
A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.
