I don't think they really ignored them. They just prioritized them incorrectly.
Complacent.
Let's pretend to ignore the giant squid in the kitchen.
Something like that.
The next Vesuvius is about to erupt under corporate headquarters.
KEEP CALM
and
DO NOTHING
So... the emails warning of the threat were treated as spam? That's kinda funny.
Honestly, how hard can be be to look after the source of executive pay?
They'll make you an offer you can't refuse.
Chris Christy isn't the only one with machinations.
You could fly from San Francisco (SFO) to Orlando (MCO) That's a pretty big search radius, if this story is true.
That doesn't bother me.
What bothers me is that Google is constantly changing things and if you don't like it, tough.
Right, because who needs to pass a law requiring a gun registry when we can just ask the NSA for a list on demand?
Oh, wait, maybe this is a BAD thing.
You gun nutjobs would probably be a lot more successful at making your case if you could string together at least 140 characters that make sense. Right now, people like you are actively keeping the phrase "gun nutjob" alive, and you're turning off people like me who actually support your position. I know it's asking a lot of someone with a room temperature IQ, but could you at least try to think before you click "post"?
and explode.
Silly you, after mergers things downsize
and then executives cut themselves big bonuses
In other words: Welcome to the grind fest, where if it doesn't consume your entire life then you lose.
Or, by losing you win, but feel you didn't win, so keep trying and keep losing, until you are good enough to win and thus lose.
Even the adherents of the basic principles themselves seem to stop short of explaining why they work. "Here, this is duplicate code. You should follow the DRY principle and get rid of it." "Why?" "Because it's a principle."
They should let the new kid do some sink-or-swim maintenance on code that doesn't follow the principles. You want to learn about DRY, try changing one branch of duplicated code without realizing there was a cut-and-paste copy elsewhere in the code base. Now you've gone from a solid bug to an intermittent bug, and your clients are still yelling at you. Thus beginneth the lesson.
These useless apps are worth nothing.
They're certainly not "worth nothing." They're worth whatever a vulture capitalist is willing to fund, or whatever an IPO will bring in. Those people still have the ability to turn punching purple monkeys into a pile of quick cash. The few technologists who time their insider stock-option trades correctly will get rich, but almost everyone else will get pink slips and a hard slap of reality.
Everybody out there imagines they'll be the one who lucks into a lucrative stock market trade, just as every gold miner imagines he'll be the one to strike the motherlode. I wish them all luck, but that's all I'll give them. I'm still not dropping $0.99 on a fart app.
You could afford a 1541?
Most of us couldn't, cost more than the computer itself!
I upgraded to an Indus GT. =]
to pull out my old C64, dust it off and find my floppies.
to a happier and simpler time
Sounds complicated. Just burn them and their customers with excessive taxes.
And use those taxes to put the miners on welfare.
Yuh.
But in America, if it has value, it can be seized.
If it has value it can be embezzled.
I am a computer. I am dumber than any human and smarter than any administrator.
