Seeing that star was definitely one of those moments where your personal experience walks up, smacks you in the face, and says, 'Thought I still mattered didn't ye!' :)
Also, on the 'Newest Question' tab there are two questions about git right now. One asking about using ssh keys instead of passwords, and one about using passwords instead of ssh keys.
Why do I get the feeling that if we (the users of SF) were to get together in meat-space, it would end up with us naked, coked out of our skulls, watching Star Wars and playing D&D?
Funny how I went to Barne's and Noble looking for a book on using XCode. I found a @#%^-ton of titles on programming for iPhone, but next to nothing on programming for the Mac. Strange.
I happen to like brick and mortars. Sometimes. I can actually read some of the books to see if I really want them or not before ordering them on Amazon.
Again, many of them at the store target iOS development.
I was hoping for something that would describe using the IDE along with the language...like 90% of the MS languages just sort of assume VS Express is your environment so it's 70% language, 30% IDE.
Except the one I found "for absolute beginners" on obj-c. It started off going over Alice.
Then moved to XCode.
Amazon has some pretty bad reviews for it.
Seems like the best way to program is to hire a programmer.
I have tried appservnetwork, was the best so far, but I haven't seen them do an update in ages, EasyPHP is just slow to load always. Wamp and Xamp, all put in their description that is not for production.
I do not plan to host publicly this site or site's I am working on. But I do want a fast lo...
no idea, just looking now, just want a VM router to sit between layers in a test rig, could have gone 'out-then-in' to a 'real' router but it would be nice to have a VM one
When guests log in to their Spotify account over the wifi, the bar gets thrown out. I would like a setup where I could still use Spotify, but have it blocked for our guests. Suggestions?
the way things are going you should just require patrons to give their cell numbers then randomly call them every minute. The ringtones should provide more than enough music.
I don't really have a problem with the TV licence fee, it costs me around £100 a year for the BBC, which I think is worthwhile, especially with access to iPlayer
My friend owns a bar, for a popular fight a few years ago they charged hime something like 9k to show it to a place with a max occupency around 300 people
Pretty much, you get hundreds of channels, mostly crap, or repeating the same stuff over and over again, with the occasional exclusive so you keep paying for it.
I'm quite happy with the free to air stuff we get, there's a reasonable selection now it's all digital
Yeah, I don't watch that much. Most of the time I just download the things I want to watch, or watch them on the iPlayer, it's very rare I actually watch a program at it's scheduled time
That dude is spanish, they have their own version of the PRS (sgae.es), so if he pays his 'subs' he can play music from whatever service he likes, even stolen mp3 files if he likes
@Chopper3 same here ... although given RIAA keeps insisting songs are licensed and not sold, and you pay your license then technically you arn't pirating anything :)
They said they're sending an envelope for me to send back their cards...I don't know what good they are if they cancel the service for those cards, but okay.
My AppleTV gets quirky on me at times, but not to the point where I give up on it.
Yesterday it lost sound until I put it to sleep and woke it. That was strange.
There's only a couple shows we watch, we're usually on the computer at the same time anyway, and the TV was little more than background noise most of the time. I think we can live without it.
the UK PRS used to have a lot of problems getting radio stations to list what they'd played - and their rule was that in lieu of better data then a list of artists from a census in september 89 got the majority of the money, for some reason phil collins got a huge amount of this as his songs were played a lot that month or something (along with Sade too)
I did some design consultancy on the replacement system that uses PCs all around the country to listen to radio stations, use clever code and a database to figure out who's playing what and so the fidelity of the data went from <5% accurate to >95% - meaning collins and sade stopped getting so much cash and the money went to the right people :)
@Zypher well no, as a rule if I'm not interested in certain work I don't do it - but the opposite is true - if you let it be known you'll only work in interesting ground-breaking stuff that's all you get offered
the really clever part of that system was the maths that listen to the song, it only needed 15 seconds and could then match it to a database of over 2m songs. They'd actually had to buy a single cd of every album they could, analyse every song for this signature, store that then store the CD in a big warehouse in Hertfordshire in case they ever had to prove that they'd bought it
@Zypher are you talking about the one where you hold it to a speaker for a few seconds and it gives details on the artist and an offer to buy the song from iTunes?
@BartSilverstrim don't ever want to be a manager, if the project dictates that you manage people then do much as you can to get the right people and give them the tools and information they need then back the fuck off unless they're failing, never make it a mission to be a manager - it's pointless
@Zypher not seen that app so I don't know, they're london and cape-town based
@Zypher Sure that's great, provided you're given enough details/requirements to meet their goals. Being told "Build me X", without major req's, can be difficult. Especially is you ask for more info and are told "Just get it working".
@jscott ahh ... i had enough latitude and seniority to get what i needed, and if that wasn't enough my boss would back all but my most hairbrained ideas
yes, spending my morning fending off a client i did some network changes for
blaming everything on the changes
It's okay, its a fun game, as I prove time and again its not my firewall causing his problem, and that a more secure network will begin to reveal fragile or incomplete configuration elsewhere.
Why the heck don't HP printers have an Approximate Pages per Day counter... I can see how many it's printed, how many are remaining in the cartridge, and how long the cartridge has been in there...
Coming up with a list of world events from which students research one, and argue whether it still impacts today's society.
Being American, the list is somewhat ameri-centric, hoping for a world view of input.
Ideas of events?
Have things like The US Constitution Issues of World War I Issues of World War II Assassination of Julius Caesar Invention of the Internet The Declaration of Independence Martin Luther King, Jr. assassination Abraham Lincoln’s support of the Emancipation Proclamation The Attack on Pearl Harbor The Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki The Collapse of the Soviet Union Hitler’s rise and fall The BP Oil Spill in the summer of 2010 Operation Desert Storm The US Landing on the Moon (space exploration) Invention of the laptop (portable computers)
The Renaissance, invention of the marine chronometer (surprisingly important), the publishing of 'On The Origin of Species', the signing of the Magna Carta
I'm looking for smtp server form sending mass amount of mails
