I worked on a contract for Petronas in Malaysia (Retail Oil Division). We built a pay at pump system, with a centralized processing server to the different major cc providers (Am Ex, Visa, Mastercard). The server was built using Java on a B

I recently left a startup that was in a similar situation, though I think they were alot more open about finding more investment (It was however always just around the corner). I'd advise you to leave now, especially if the founders/managem

I like your idea, but rather than a hard limit across the country it should be a percentage higher than the local market rates. Also if we are talking about temp working visas like the H1B, then the gov could remove the social security tax

I'm a permanent resident as well, and its never stopped me from getting swamped with offers once I place my resume up online. (My resume states I am a Green Card Holder). Perhaps its a geographic issue (I'm in the NY area), I'd also suggest

IIS 4 came out with the NT 4.0 option pack. IIS 5 came with Windows 2000. At 10 years old, I wouldn't call them modern.

Falling back can be very expensive though when you start to talk about things like Video & Audio, where the cost to create and maintain different formats of large media assets is high.

Right now the biggest industry tool for building standard-based websites is still Dreamweaver from Adobe. Interesting to see if they will be quick to add HTML5 features to Dreamweaver to stay ahead of the curve, or try to protect the Flash

I think Apple has more to answer to here. Why can't they enable the voice controls and video capture on the old hardware with the update? Hardly think AT&T is to blame that you can't use features your phone is capable of using in the OS

Well his wife and 3 teenage sons have only $4k a month to live on on the east coast ($1k per person). He has almost 3 times the disposable income as his wife in reality.

by cjbos 17y ago
I think $4k a month isn't overboard for 3 teenage boys, especially if you factor in school & health care. As for the Alimony, it depends, if the wife had stayed at home for the past 21 years to raise the children and has no skills/exper

As a programmer my design skills are mostly implementable with the graphics class. But when I do work with flash designers, I have them create assets in the Flash IDE and publish a .swc which I import into flex builder. This gives me nice i

Anecdotal evidence at best. If anything map reading is akin to being able to spot a pattern (Where am I on this squiggle of contour lines). Woman are historically great at weaving and producing patterns, reading instructions is just like fo

But human's didn't hunt alone until very recently. We are like all big mammals in that we hunted in packs (e.g. Lions, Wolfs, Dolphins). The invention of the spear/bow made solitary hunting possible. If anything the gatherer was a role that

So agreed that makeup+lingerie (Or Shopping?) for the average female stereotype is equivalent to the average male stereotype of thinking about scantily-clad women. Now if you went to a industry conference attended by 200 women and yourself

by cjbos 17y ago
How can you argue that working as a programmer is more a hunter role than a gatherer/care giver role? Lack of role models at the young age is a more likely cause imo. Who do young girls in the 12+ age group have to look up to in our industr

I think your demographic is desensitized to that sort of thing, I would not imply that most people are though. Are you in the 18-34 Male demographic by any chance? You wouldn't need the gore, just show a few hundred coffins in a airport han

This misses the point of the debate though. The original blogger didn't whine about it or leave, she just mentioned it was a little out of place to see in a conference presentation. That's nothing like the Danish Cartoon controversy, what u
