Business Driven Development. The little I know is you write out in English the business rules you need a piece of software to operate on. Then you program around these requirements. I mainly see it in testing/QA right now and it's my only experience with it. Those business requirements get compiled into a class with empty method that I fill in and test the dev code with. Basically unit testing but at a higher level that covers the business rules. I'm working with SpecFlow right now if you're curious. http://www.specflow.org/

I wish I had some mod points for you, alas I don't so I'll reply. I could not agree more with what you said about knowledge helping you understand the world. I have a CS degree, but my interests are much broader than that. I wound up minoring in history, have music classes, sociology, psychology and extra math under my belt in addition to all the normal mandatory classes a degree requires. It has helped me tremendously in that I have context for what is happening now in the world, and understanding people/behaviour. I would not trade that for anything. Even if I have forgot most of my calculus now haha. I wish more people would be open to this, too many have blinders up, often forced by attitudes within their own faculties. My academic adviser even questioned me on my choices of extra classes as it was not 'CS' enough. Still got my degree, I am good at what I do professionally, but I know more now than I would have if I would have listen to them... Although I know this is a big topic of debate, especially with some of my engineer friends haha.

Cheers!

Sorry, mis-modded you... Meant to mod you insightful. Undoing negative mod.

To what end? 'They' can also click on that link to see what it's about. 'They' can also figure out what ip address the click came from, then it's short work to figure who is behind that IP address. HTTPS is not an anonymizer...

On the second point, I agree, that's a silly move from Mozilla.

Not to be argumentative, but executions deter who exactly? By this logic Ohio should have an exceptionally low crime rate...

I'm one of those... if I lost 150lbs, 20lbs would have to dissapear from the universe! Which would have been cool to see, if I were still alive...

I'd mod you up if I could. I've dealt with this attitude many times. Useless and idle are very different things!

I've shot some projects on 16mm with both an old Aaton camera and a small Bolex. The Bolex was quite small and handy, but has some major drawbacks. (Although cool as hell to play with.) One of the issues most people seem to gloss over or ignore is the effective resolution of the film stock itself. Namely 16mm will give you a good 1080p conversion, 35mm somewhat higher than 1080p and 70mm, I'm not entirely sure, but greater than 4k. Notice all those WWII in HD footage on the history channel? That was all 16mm news footage transfered to HD. I ramble a little, but the point is, there is an element of future proofing what you've shot when you do it on film. Don't want >1080p now, no problem, but shoot it on a 1080p camera now and you're screwed later. Shoot it on 35mm and your good for 2K later. Trouble is, it's expensive, not that renting a Red camera that shoots at 4k is cheap either.

Hi there. Ubuntu community member here. We have the "Ubuntu Foundation", which is a trust with 10 Million in it if Canonical folds. Kthx, have a nice day,

Saw it on House, so it must be true!

Have a look at the CANDU reactor. It's a heavy water reactor that fissions natural uranium, which cannot sustain a chain reaction if things go terribly wrong. Low pressure heavy water (deuterium-oxide) is the moderator and coolant, and again, if the primary coolant loop stops and it evaporates away, the reaction stops because it's the moderator. It is an inherently safe design, much safer than the light water reactors that seem to be used by Japan in those plants. The CANDU is not without its problems, but name a large industrial process with no problems.

You're not wrong at all, and I agree -- it's just that the source document has to "live" somewhere. If I were to be happy with it, I'd have to be able to create "debian/manual_on_this", then link it to my "ubuntu/" folder. When I add a change that's no longer "debian/" qualified, I should be able to "rm debian/manual_on_this", but have it live in "ubuntu/". What I'm getting at is that tags let the filesystem ( or database, whatever ) manage the documents and present you with "links", rather then having original documents in the tree. It's like saying that C has pointers like Java (in before Java jokes), ignoring the fact you have to malloc / free. Perhaps I'm ranting at this point, but I think it'd be a nice way forward :) Off to implement it in fuse!

What a bunch of dipshits. Traffic is just a routing / scheduling algorithm, if anything his background in Computer Science should *help* him present his case. God, what morons. He just did all that work for you, it's not like you won't review it anyway. Suck it up and do a review. It's your *job*.
