wonder what amazing app he'd need developed, so that only "programmers that can code anything imaginable" are supposed to be up for it.
@ToddersLegrande you can run away without doing anything, yeah. this is true for employers as well; on fixed-price projects it's possible not to get paid in the end.
there's nothing binding you legally to the other
you can give the employer a bad rating if he runs away with the program though <3
The 30-50/hr is what I'd consider reasonable for not being done through a company though honestly, as contractors, they should make more to cover insurance, etc. My company charges over double that, for example
the employer can place restrictions on each contractor that wants to bid. for example, he may choose to only accept contractors that have a minimum of 300 hours of work recorded.
you can still bid, but he will see that you do not meet the criteria
now, one of the other options is for him to not accept bidders that have an hourly rate of... I dunno, $20 per hour or more
So you can put WP7 Experience, 2 published apps; on your resume and then it will come up during the interview. You can dance around what they are called and be vague about what they do... but talk about the development process
Actually... that's a great way to get paid. Deliberately send a wrong build with the default icon if you think you'll get stiffed. Only send the real one after you receive payment
Sure. Do enough work and it will balance out. But if you get screwed the first few times I feel like you a less likely to get good employers and more likely to get shady employers.
I think he wanted to post a new job, and needed his rating cleared; so naturally, he wanted to pay me (again), if I sent him the good app and also edited the rating
money never came and that was the list time I heard from or of him
Good point. I don't know what sort of communications you get between employers and contractors before agreeing to work / have work done for you so maybe rating is generally irrelevant.
not at all. I tend to avoid employers that: write down job postings that consist of 2 phrases only, can't properly write them and/or have negative comments or a history of low ratings given to contractors
when it comes to ratings, I have a simple rule to follow: the employer is okay if he already gave a 5 star rating to at least someone. that means he knows what a 5 star rating looks like and how to give it.
@ToddersLegrande if you put it that way, yeah, that would make sense. still, without explanation, it might be a random rating. you can never know for sure.
oDesk never feels like a friendly place, considering the rating issues & stuff
I like my ratings to be recommendations from old clients, and nothing more, nothing less
got what I plan to be the only skin I buy in LoL. it was about to go up in price. Ordinarily he throws 4 different kinds of bombs. youtube.com/watch?v=fciwA9P4nLw

Have you any idea to help me?

@William'MindWorX'Mariager My mechanical keyboard uses cherry blue. The register click is below the unregister click. Large "hysteresis" on it means that you don't get doubles, ever.
@JohnMcDonald it's always the same few switches. Not necessarily an isolated issue. Today I'm having problems with the C key and previously I was having problems with the F key and I think once before I was having problems with the Y key
Right now I'm getting log in failed. I think thats from too many failed attempts to connect and I've got to wait it out to try again. I asked a client about the acount being locked out and they said no.
Before it looked like I logged it but it just failed to connect at the last step
don't know what the specific error was at this time
Client has confirmed it doesn't work with Windows 8 and they have even had some problems with Win 7.... -_-
@Gajoo my job is about billing hours to the client. This isn't exactly something I can charge them for which means I have to work extra time so I can meet my billable hours goal just to try and troubleshoot this problem.
is there some design pattern for player input? i now loop through all game objects that i have mouse over and if its monster i change cursor to attack cursor and if i click i issue attack command, if its drop i change cursor to pickup cursor, and issue command to pick up, if its ground i issue command to move
I thought about that but believe it or not its not the most obnoxious thing on my mind
I get into the office, get connected to VPN, and discover I do not have access to everything I was supposed to have access to... so I've emailed out a request for more access (that I should have had in the first place), and odds are I'll be stuck until tomorrow
