If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Windows Phone update improves security and messaging, but the platform still trails Android and iOS by a wide margin. Yeah. That's what was causing developers to hold back: no folders on the screen

In a job market where available IT pros can name their price and are rejecting poor offers, businesses need to step up their game or risk losing out on top talent. Go on then, sell yourself to the highest bidder

Russia has proposed that Apple Inc and SAP hand the government access to their source code to make sure their widely used products are not tools for spying on state institutions. Is this the new thing then? Everybody gets to look at all the code now?

So, trust demands open source?

Dailytech[^] reported that Russia was arguing its demands were reasonable because MS let a Russian security firm look at their code, so Apple/SAP shouldn't have any problem doing the same thing.
However MS has allowed a number of security/academic groups access to all of their code for a long time. My question to that is, do Apple or SAP have any sort of equivalent programs? IF they already allow a number of 3rd parties access to their code, adding a Russian partner isn't prima facie unreasonable. However if they don't currently let any 3rd parties have access to their core codebases the Russian demand looks a lot more heavy handed.
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?

“Just” makes me feel like an idiot. “Just” presumes I come from a specific background, studied certain courses in university, am fluent in certain technologies, and have read all the right books, articles, and resources. "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me."

This sound oh so familiar for some reason.
"But what if blah, blah, blah happens?"
"We'll just have to deal with any problems as they arise."
Thanks, boss.
Comments from work:- "Why can't you just do it like everybody else?"
- "Well, we haven't had any complaints yet."
- "I just want to get it into production."

I suppose "management consultant" is two words, so that is valid...

Ow! Yeah that one is definitely up there.

That's the worst one, "sure just add an option to view this desktop application as a responsive web app to the settings screen" etc, eugh!

The now-aging TCP/IP protocol might not be around for much longer. That’s if a bunch of researchers promoting network coding have their way. Wake me up when it's gone. I want to see what the 22nd century looks like.

I've been told (by someone here, was it you?) that 50-90% of Internet traffic is spam. Do we really need new patented complicated mathematical equations to speed up the net?
And of course, the whole idea of patenting a core backbone technology for transporting data around the Internet...wow, do I smell a cash cow. However, if pigs had wings...
so sadly, I do not see a direct as the crow flies path to a faster Internet, but it's a whale of an idea.
Why are all our metaphors ones involving animals and meat? Hmmm...I think my attention span is as short as a carrot stump today.

Web Forms is not dead, and nearly everything you can do in MVC, you can also do in Web Forms. Maybe not, but the vultures are circling
|
|
|
|
|
I was kinda hoping MVC would go away but it hasn't so I've been learning it lately...'course now that I'm investing some time in it, it will probably get blown away by something else.

Did a nice little project in MVC. Can't see what all the fuss is about.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I don't know why I dragged my feet, it's not that bad. I'm doing a little project with MVC5 but no Entity Framework...using MySQL for the database and doing the data access by hand...just to be contrary, and because I'm more familiar with MySQL.
|
|
|
|
|
I did use EF with MySQL: didn't work that well as a bit messy and unable to use stored procs... unless somebody know any different?
