Not that damn rocket again... ...j/k, but I think there must be some new Internet standard that requires flat rocket icons on all hosting industry web sites.

A fun talk by Bob Martin on the history of programming languages in which he mentions good books to read: In fairness, the books he mentions are "how to really get programming and be awesome" books, not "how to write an iOS app in 30 days".  For example, "Structure and Interpretation of...

Sorry, but that is simply untrue.  The US has never provided nuclear weapons to Germany, Belgium, Israel, or Turkey.  You are confusing nuclear sharing with nuclear providing.  The US previously based its own nuclear weapons on the soil of some of those countries (not Israel) but those weapons...

In the enterprise, there's no one else who does what they do - integrated Active Directory, file share, Sharepoint, email, office, desktop, database, development tools, etc.   Microsoft in the enterprise is less about any one specific product and more about its diverse ecosystem. >95% of the...

You are showing your age.  SGI went bankrupt and its name is now used to market Xeon-based kit. The film industry uses Mac or Linux on desktop and Linux for big render farms.  However, there are Windows-on-desktop shops as well.

You should learn MIX assembler so when you read The Art of Computer Programming you can do the examples. After you've read all volumes of TAOCP, you'll be ready for anything.

You may have missed this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Non-Proliferation_of_Nuclear_Weapons 190 out of 195 nations have signed it.  You're about 47 years late with your argument.

The poll question is "web coding languages". I suspect a very small amount of web programming is done in C++ or bash. And where is Javascript?!?  Needs to be on the list for anything web-related. php is most widely used, and Javascript to go with it.  You should know SQL and noSQL-style...

After submitting a ticket, I wait 10 minutes and then if there is no response, I open a thread on LET asking if the host has deadpooled.

I'm pretty sure those laws only apply within the borders of the US.  I'm not even sure they additionally apply to US-based companies doing business elsewhere...i.e., I don't think a woman in Saudi Arabia can sue Microsoft for gender discrimination under US law if they don't hire her.  By the...

Laptops, sure. Desktops/servers no - backups run overnight, Dropbox/OneDrive/GoogleDrive sync, etc.

@drmike - it may be possible to disable cloud sync, but that's really the point of EN. You've probably already looked here but if not: http://alternativeto.net/software/evernote/ Also, semi-related: http://todotxt.com/ You in theory could manage your notes by using text files on local LAN I...

Imagine you and I are PMing on an IPB board.  Is your goal You and I can send PMs and no one but us can read them There is one encryption key for all PMs to protect against data breaches The problem with #1 is communicating the shared secret.  Of course, we can use existing technology to send...

You might also ask on theadminzone.com, which is a forum for forum admins. Probably your best bet as far asking a question to lots of people administering forums. Valid if you're going to write a lot of extensions but otherwise...not sure why you'd care. As far as commercial software, the big...

This is not that different than what you'd get at FreeGeek.  FG started in PDX but I believe there are others now. Long story short - people donate old PCs and such they no longer want, and FG refurbs them with a Linux desktop (Mint at the moment).  They donate them to the poor, or if you...

Why?  You happen to get something at a lower cost but can charge what the market will bear...that's how you make money. I don't think Apple says "we got a great deal on Gorilla glass and it just wouldn't be right to not drop the price of an iPhone by $20..."

If Duke actually payed a single dollar for these customers, he was ripped off. What percentage will still be his customers 6 months from now?  10%?  The crazy deals were the only reason they came... And I suspect a couple months from now we'll see GVH offering new crazy deals and then...

Perhaps he'll do another fake suicide announcement next.

For big companies, this sometimes works.  But the "employee ownership" usually means you get some stock (which may be 401K matching). For small companies...I see problems.  Imagine you have 5 employees and they're all part owners and one is fired or quits.  What happens to his ownership?  Let's...
