A friend who played lacrosse in college had this to say: "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'".
Black's Law Dictionary may be more relevant than OED:
Libel: Defamatory statement published through any manner or media. If intended to simply bring contempt, disrespect, hatred, or ridicule to a person or entity it is likely a civil breach of law. However, if it causes mayhem or breach of peace, it can be a criminal breach of law. Yet, again, if the statement is newsworthy, even if defamatory, proof of benefit to the public is required to avoid criminal complaint.
Nowhere near the same number of students in the system. Same as in Detroit, Baltimore, etc. It's absurd to have the same number of physical buildings and mid to upper level managers for 50,000 students as for 100,000 students.
What's this day of rest shit? What's this bullshit? I don't fuckin' care!
I agree. Group think is a risk for group activities.
I've worked successfully with people from a dozen countries. But we had a common standard of using english; microsoft documents; standard business and functional requirements documentation; and clearcase change management software.
I'm no fan of Microsoft but if we had used several different word processors and presentation packages; multiple languages with tons of local idoms and slang; multiple change management systems; and everyone went their own way on functional requirements, it would have been a mess.
The communication is the medium- not the ideas. You can be nonconformist while communicating in shared agreed upon methods.
A friends company had a great package developed in "D"-- different than all the rest of the software. When the programmer left- that package was dead. My company had one piece of software developed in C. When the sole programmer left (at age 70 after they said he now should work over 50 hours a week) - they lost several multi-million dollar customers before they could get a replacement C programmer up to speed.
And the 70 year old had a completely custom style of programming C which made it difficult for other programmers to come up to speed (and the company wasn't offering sufficient pay to get in the top quality programmers and they probably wouldn't come to work for a shop that only had 1 C program anyway for any reasonable amount of money).
Thanks, Frederik, for learning so much in your time with us that you were able to teach, through your example, some of us how to write. Enjoy Heechee heaven, and if you ever figure out how their ships work, come back and see us sometime. (Thanks again. I just realized how the ships work. You pick up a book, you open it to page 1, and *poof*, you're there.)
i'm so tired of all the vitriol spewed at apple for "stealing other people's work". they've innovated the hell out of the tech industry and you should be grateful you morons. just having an item or a concept isn't useful until it's affordable and easy enough for lots of people to use it without hassle.
There's a few problems. Foremost is that you are addressing people who are angry at attempts to change computers for the benefit of the average slob. If they were happy flipping switches on a panel (or pecking away at a keyboard illuminated by the green glow of their text terminal) then everyone should be. They want to 'keep it real'.
There are also sour grapes, some NIH, etc.
My favorite from 'them' is "Apple is just a marketing company" accompanied with "anyone could do what they do". Somehow they never are able to explain if it's "so easy" and obvious why did it take until Apple did it for someone to do it? When I pose that question, comments regarding my sexual prefence, my mother's sexual proclivity, and the possibility that my religious affiliation involves a certain fruit based organization are raised.
Not a damned thing they can do about a hostile takeover. Sure, a poison pill, but sometimes that is worse.
Maps? Google wasn't permitted to improve or do squat with the iOS map app until Apple kicked them off as a standard app. When Apple's maps came out, bad as they were, all of a sudden Google's map app came back improved and updated, with features that were only released on Android because they were now free of Apple's restrictions on what features they were permitted to implement on the IOS version of the app.
There, fixed that for you.
Google wanted to put turn by turn navigation in. Apple stopped them because they didn't want Google advertising on it.
Ahem, fixed that for you.
noone is alone in hating software patents except the patent trolls. consumers and even software developers at large companies all hate them, thats why software patents are being eliminated country by country.
I bet the lead singer from Herman's Hermits couldn't care less about software patents.
