Well gender studies (back in my day it was called women's study) is in general I hate men, see how bad men are and how great woman are.
In general when I find people complaining how they are being treated unfairly, it is usually because they are not performing as well as the others.
Microsoft had made software for Macs, and even Unix systems. I remember IE 4 for Solaris.
So yes Linus wins... But so what it isn't that big of a deal anymore. We are not as closely tied to our operating systems as we were 10 years ago.
Most of the stuff we needed apps for in the past are available via the web (are they trade offs yes, but this is the way it is) the actual app developers are getting wiser to multi-platform development. And are not touting they undying love affair with the OS. Microsoft cannot afford to be windows only,
Many of these offers are for temporary positions. Where they want you to make this program and then you are out of work. Sometimes they are jobs for pie in the sky type of projects. "The killer app!" Without much understanding on the limited functionality of computing, or the practicality.
These jobs are career poison, and should be avoided.
Also these spam jobs are an attempt to try to pickup a low ball offer. Sr. Software Architect for 60k.
If it fails, then people will not use Mozilla browse.
Firefox has been copying chrome so much anyways, we can just switch to that without much of a hassle.
Well just because we don't have many of them them on record, it doesn't mean they are endangered or rare. There is a lot about marine biology that we do not know about.
The legacy Unix system, was expensive due to the fact that it required high end hardware. NT would run on your consumer PC as well. So Unix systems did work better because of the whole architecture not just the OS.
Nothing really too new. If you take the bus and the bus is full you are more efficient for the work being performed.
Most of the energy goes into moving the actual machine, only a small fraction goes into moving its content.
That is why the Train shipping companies advertise 1 gallon of fuel, for 500 miles per Ton of goods.
This means 100% Hip just cannot happen!
Me I have no interest in either having an Apple Watch (unless it goes down by $200) and I don't want a Tattoo.
But I never was Hip anyways, back in my day it was called cool.
If you are a big organization. You have a lot of projects to go on. So if your organization is smart, you will have small teams working on each project. If the organization is stupid, then it has a large team working on a single project to try to get it done quicker.
The problem is when the organization is stupid, and it has a big team working on a single project, they find that it becomes too expensive to progress so they don't see the value of the individual. if they get small teams They will see far more output and the value of these skilled individuals.
Based on launch trajectories calculated via a macro in an Excel 95 spreadsheet that is sent from personal Hotmail addresses?
Probably more worrying is the fact that much of our military are still using IE6.
With the new ultrabooks laptops which flip into a tablet form factor. You would want a rich supply of apps that are designed for a touch interface. While keeping the laptop and desktop apps for more sit down type of work.
Edge?
Would that be named after the mobile broadband technology, the guitarist from U2 or Samsung's flagship smartphone? Why don't they give it a meaningful name that somehow relates to its function, like, er, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Mozilla, SeaMonkey... Oh, right. Failing that, why not the old, reliable pseudo Latin/Greek names: Webia, Browsium, internet startup names (MeWeb, WebBox, WeBrowse...) or even retro Unix names ('yawb', 'enie')?
At the time Windows NT wasn't a consumer technology, Windows NT was a serious contender in the server space, for mission critical systems. At that time Linux was still considered a Hobby OS. Other alternatives were Unix variant, but during those stages they weren't really that much better. It was just when we heard that Windows NT crashed, we all laughed at it, because of allegiance towards Linux.
However today... Consumer technology today Windows, Android, iOS. Are really based on Professional Server Grade OS Kernels. They are just running on cheaper hardware.
The issue for this isn't blaming the iPad or iOS but the maker of that App for those documents. They screwed up, This would have happened if they had a Million Dollar professional system in their hands too.
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things. -- Doug Gwyn
