If I could've I'd've convicted the county DA of wasting about 30 people's time when he didn't have anything approaching a case.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If all you knew about me was my email address, what could you say about me? Put on your Sherlock Holmes stalker hat. Does an address by itself tell you anything at all? "Not only do millions of folks in the US continue to pay for and use AOL dial-up, but they continue to actually browse the web with AOL’s browser."

Today, arguably, no industry is innovating more rapidly than software development. As a result, artistic expression based in coding and programming is experiencing something of a quiet renaissance. Given the vast selection of constantly changing programs, programming languages and processes for artists to work with, no piece of artwork or artistic style is exactly the same.
Quite the trippy pieces of art. I would say more of a modern art age than renaissance.

I had fun creating fire and plasma effects in highschool never played with anything like it since then.

My thoughts exactly - that stuff was old a decade ago, why is it suddenly acclaimed as art?

Can you imagine your company having a chief electricity officer? Seems ridiculous doesn’t it, but many large businesses did when electricity first started to power the industrial economy. After all, with just a good book, *anyone* can do what we do, right?

I am not a fan of the analogy. Web is about data, electricity is not data.

CompTIA says 80 percent of companies surveyed believe their security is satisfactory, but only 13 percent had made changes since embracing cloud and BYOD. The new "transparency in business"
|

..most "don't know" and simply assume that security is satisfactory. It eats up the profit-margin, and will not be an issue until someone publicly proves that the security is broken.

Or for people like me, who come from the world of Windows and expect a snazzy IDE for doing Rails development. And RubyMine is very impressive!

I am more than happy to pay to $100 for a personal license for all the hard work those folks do. Furthermore, it's free if you're doing open source development. Pricing[^] And I think there's a 30 day trial version.

I'm not doing OSS, $100 is outside my personal out of pocket limit, and elephanting beancounters. 
A month with a self destructing trial version would only make having to go back to a braindead text editor suck even worse.

Out of curiosity, what platform are you running on? Windows? Ubuntu?
Are you doing Rails development or something else? It sounds like you're doing work for a client, they're not willing to cough up $100? It seems like a good IDE would save them 100x that in productivity improvement.

Windows, a bit of rails although it's third to .net and java for the year. In terms of hours spent (as opposed to output produced) it's probably behind sharepoint too; but only because the latter is a WTFery that makes anything other than "circular progress" nearly impossible.
My employer's a govt contractor and my understanding is that their standard contracts require most software to be bought from overhead not charged to the project directly. That in turn means that the people who have to approve the purchase from their budget and the people who directly benefit from the purchase are separate grounds. As I said before, Elephanting Beancounters!

Open source invites participation, including criticism. But do developers sometimes take it too far? "I don't know why you gotta be so undemanding. One thing I know, I want more!"

I don't think we'll be hearing any 'Algorave' on the radio anytime soon, but wouldn't mind catching one of these "live coding" club nights just for the experience and to see what it's all about.

You might remember that last week, a few of Microsoft's services including, Hotmail, MSN, Live, Outlook, and Microsoft's web site were offline for a period of time. If only affected some users and Microsoft was quick to restore the online services. Microsoft has yet to state the exact problem, only that the problem had been fixed and the service restored. "You maniacs! You blew it up!"
