Sadly, I still see developers not testing, and are practically afraid of writing test scripts.
It's not news to you or me, but these reminders are important for newer generations, especially to the 'I want to do it because it makes money and I couldn't care less about computers otherwise' programmers. AKA webmasters!

You're more likely to hear "What's testing?" from a lot of programmers nowadays.

Testing was never even mentioned in my university courses, much less formalized.

Primarily because it comes from a universe where there is a relatively high living standard for Earth humans. Pretty much every other "future" envisioned that I've ever read was rather bleak and depressing compared to Star Trek's.

I rather like the idea of a world where all your needs are taken care of automatically, and all you have to work for are perks and extras.

Then again, I live in such a world today -- I'm on disability. My needs are taken care of without working, but I have the option of earning up to $200 a month without penalty for perks and spending money. Maybe Star Trek isn't so much fantasy after all, at least in Canada.

Having an opinion about so-called "art" is "flamebait?"

Mods: Flamebait is not a "Disagree" option

Has nothing to do with conformity. Has to deal with reality. Hard reality.

You can't escape biology, you can't escape physics, no matter how much you try to invent ways around it.

I thought they already dropped support for it a while back........

i just wasn't aware that someone had been using it for something!

I would think that the person who made the sculpture knows best what it was meant for.

I don't understand why these systems are set up like this, operationally it's not much different from EZ-Pass which works fine with an account based system, putting the value tracking on the cards is just asking for an upgrade treadmill even if it's well designed now, 10 years from now it will be easilly cracked. compare CPU vs GPU/FPGA/ASIC hashing advances

In the military, everyone knows down to the penny how much everyone else makes, or at least can figure it out easily enough. You look at their rank, their time in service, and various other factors such as their current assignment, whether they live on or off base, are married or single, etc., and the number is right there. And the reward for productivity is promotion, which leads to a higher salary. This never led to any problems that I saw; and while there are plenty of aspects of civilian life I like better than being in uniform, this isn't one of them.

That is the ugliest chunk of milled aluminum I have ever seen. I'd have been ashamed to admit creating it. They should have skipped the statue and just laid a larger plaque instead.

Most of the websites make it very clear in their sales process that placing the order is not a sale, and that the sale isn't legally completed until they verify the order. If a website doesn't do that, then yes, they should be required to honour the price they charged your credit card or bank account.

Being sloppy with your website is bad enough; being sloppy with your legalese is unforgiveable. If you don't have the good sense to have your terms and conditions vetted by a lawyer, you should pay for your stupidity, not the customer.

I'm not at all surprised The Brick refuses to honour the prices they post. Every single time I've thought about purchasing something from them, they started tacking on extra fees and charges during the process, and I ended up telling them to go fuck themselves and walked out the door. They are beyond doubt the greediest scam and con artists in the furniture industry I've ever had the fortune of not dealing with to completion of a deal.

The worst is a scam they were charged with and spanked for by the courts in Canada -- the "no money down" deals where you were expected to pay service and financing fees up front. To their twisted minds, because those weren't the actual charges for the furniture itself, they were free and clear to screw you over before you even took shipment. Thank God the courts stopped that nonsense -- you notice they haven't run a "0 money down" "sale" in Canada for a couple of years now that they've been spanked.

Aww, surprise surprise.

Some whiny-assed bitches with mod points can't take a joke.

Maybe you should go cry to mommy about the mean old grey-beard...

academic dishonesty is treated as an entitlement among the wealthy in all countries. you won't really think all those senator's sons really have what it takes to graduate from Harvard do you?

(well technically they do, #define what_it_takes Daddys_money_buying_a_new_gym)

SIX seconds? Are you kidding me? I've forgotten what I was doing after 3. A hundred and 40 chars? Get real. The next twitter will be 30 chars or less or just a weird sonar-like animal noise.

other marketers, mainly.

supposedly with customers.

a bunch of fake customers too.

with fake customers too. why? so that the twitter campaign would look effective and they would keep receiving their paycheck.

yeah, it's pretty stupid. also one way to spot a marketer is that he is using a fucking url shortening service for every fucking url. not because he couldn't fit the whole url - but because he wants clickthrough stats. fuckers.
