Comment Arguing ensues (Score 1) 126

Yeah, not a good idea. Sure if all the team members are mediocre or noobs then it may work but if you're dealing with some alpha over-caffeinated coders then it'll invariably lead to open arguments and people tearing off in a huff. Pair programming does work when the pair collaborates and gets along, i.e., have compatible ways of communicating both verbally and non-verbally. Taking that to a higher extreme usually results in chaos.

Free enterprise? The flag was a battle flag and not the flag representing the confederate states as a whole. And what's wrong with giving jobs to immigrants? you must be racist or something (that was a tongue and cheek remark) I mean it would be no less arduous than flipping burgers at McDonalds. Are you trying to suppress free enterprise?

A nutjob walks into a church and shoots 9 people. That means we get rid of the Confederate Flags? WTF, the flag didn't kill anybody, shit confederate war soldiers didn't kill those people in the church. It's non sequitur. Getting rid of them through outlets like this will mean, more people will buy them and fly them is all and oh by the way Amazon, Apple, Walmart et all please remove anything with the ANC colors or those of the Black Panthers and Rainbow flags while you're at it; they offend me.

I vote Adobe the worst software provider in terms of quality. We bash Microsoft quite a bit but think about it. Shockwave, Flash now Acrobat Reader must be the crappiest three pieces of software in terms of quality and vulnerabilities. I guess when you couple Adobe + Windows it's truly craptacular!

WQHL is another walled garden. A lot of vendor's don't like the Ts&Cs that MSFT has put forward for WQHL certification. Yes, it's sub-optimal but if you're dealing in Windows Drivers, it's the road you must travel on.

If only MSFT would make WQHL certification easier then you'd see more vendors jumping on the bandwagon and having their updates distributed through Windows Update.

This has nothing to do with Mark Facetard, it has everything to do with self promotion in an election year. "Oh lookie over here! Don't look at those 30,000 violations of federal law, receiving money from foreign governments while working for the American people? No, lookie here!"

I wish these 10,000 girls all the luck in the world.
