Your mindset is too stuck in the victim mentality. Yes, people are going to better than you, BUT there are also people who are LESS qualified than you! I will tell you a secret most people wont tell you. People with less qualifications than

I have to disagree with you there. You're taking the passive approach. Go out make a name for yourself in the market place in the field you work in. Do some volunteer work as a example to build up a client base and contact list. Adver

One of the video that can articulate the whole thing better than me is ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM1iUe6IofM ) It was a long winded written rant. I still use OOP but its more or less glorified name spaces with functio

Lets be clear here. What-ever the persons opinion of you should have absolutely no bearing on your professional work, and your relationship between then. I have rude clients, I have smart ass clients. Something is very clear I make it to th

I can attest to this. From personal experience I found websites that would ignore scrappers and just allow me to access their data on their public web-site easier to deal with code wise and time wise. I make the request, you give me the dat

I tend to find fixed size buffers easier to conceptualize than dynamically allocated buffers. Tend to find that even with most modern language C#/Java I still see developer use fixed size buffer even within enterprise apps. So I think

From my understanding. v2 I can include x264 either dynamically linked or statically linked into my software and sell the software but wouldn't need to release the source code to my software. If I make any alteration or modification to

Just a outsider note, I've never heard about your book before now or like I say `It popped into existence`. I had a look at the url you posted. Although I couldn't find a sample of your book, let alone a couple of pages to judge i

GPL2 - I give you my time and my work, you can sell it or include it in your product but credit the software package/module in your read-me.txt file and where to find it. By any chance you make modifications please make it available or

Agreed your point. That is kind of the reason why I'm reluctant to use the GPLV2. If you distribute my software I want you to also honor the license agreement and release your resulting source code. In other words everyone has a gun po

From a person who makes a living selling software I like GPL v3 where I dislike GPL v2. This mostly resolves around that I can offer a proprietary license to the clients for the software in situations they dis-like GPL v3 but it also keeps

If you dont mind me asking, what type of application/webservices do you actually run on the Amazon EC2? I work in the NT, and we have our own self hosted servers using tomcat as the servlet container. Eg.. Spring/Hibernate/ e

Yeah,,, consider yourself lucky that you were never employed by a employer who didn't provide PAYG summary. That is all-ways a interesting conversation with the ATO and your accountant.

Or you can ask them to explain the terms to you by leading by example. If they cannot articulate the terms or the terminology ask them to strike out the clause because both parties don't understand the terminology. Just because somebod

btw the prior comment was a bit of sarcasm. I sometimes wonder about the bubble prices and just conclude there is something else going on in the macro level that I'm un-aware off. A lot of the fundermental concepts such as supply and

You don't know Australian psyche that housing double's in price every 7 years and the safest investment you can ever make and you will never lose money. Idiotic, illogical, but that's the country I live in.

Wait until the May 2017 budget. The government may announce co-payment or tax incentive to keep the system going. For my situation I will jump and purchase a new house if I can deduct interest repayment from my taxable income. It would leve

That will probably be pushed back when the baby boomers start retiring and the super funds come under pressure with more people withdrawing than members contributing. This is kind of a pet hate I have. Super funds only make sense when you h

I found clients love having their questions in form of 'Y' in leading columns before the data. Such as, `Products shipped more than 250,000`, 'Products still in stock', 'Products in transit'. It allows them to

I would say you're sending a clear message to the client with (2) that you don't value your time. Bill them from the moment you start to the moment you end. This is inclusive of all meetings and correspondence you have with them.
