Yeah, he should have gotten the job. Unless they were looking for "headshot", but any solution good enough for Ash is good enough for me.

Twice now Apple has bypassed Snow Leopard when it patched newer editions I think I've heard this story somewhere else

Wow, supporting an OS for a total of 4.5 years - that really sucks.
I guess Apple really don't give an elephant for their desktop users any more. And some MS users are still complaining about XP being retired after, what, 13 years.

As insecure as passwords generally are, they're not going away anytime soon. Every year you have more and more passwords to deal with, and every year they get easier and easier to break. You need a strategy. 1235 <- There, saved you the trouble of reading

Quote: Or to write your passwords down on a piece of paper and secure that piece of paper. Yeah, that's the strategy I use nowadays. If only I could decipher my hand-writing... That's a level of extra security I actually don't need.

Don't laugh. I just checked into a hostel in Porvenir in Tierra Del Fuego, and the Wifi password was a GUID.
Still, here they change them - I've been in other places where the password is printed on posters and stuck on the wall. Obvious it hasn't been changed in ages.

Put down the jQuery, step away from the non-relational database: we have more important things to talk about. And you fancy-pants CSS kids can get off my lawn!

is still awesome; it allows me to have an "empty" TABLE cell with a border, like it's supposed to.
But by no means am I a Web Developer ; I do real work.

disable cgi and create a pure static website using notepad that has no executable code (unless you count the animated gif with the construction worker on the home page ).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Hmmmm,
Actually the GIF image format was owned by CompuServe was protected by copyright until 2003. So back in the old days using GIF images on your website could result in a letter from CompuServe demanding that you pay a license fee. Luckily the IESG/IETF came to the rescue and pushed for the development of the PNG format. Unfortunately... it took many years for all of the browsers to add support for PNG images.

Their shakedown campaign worked almost as well as the RIAA/MPAA's campaigns against file sharing did.

Microsoft is reportedly interested in some kind of partnership with France-based Orange that will involve the latter company's Dailymotion streaming video site. That's the word from Orange CEO Stéphane Richard, who revealed today that talks between the two companies are underway. It looks like you're searching for cat videos, would you like help with that?

Three months ago, Stephen Wolfram gave VentureBeat a sneak peek into the future of the Wolfram Language, a totally symbolic, heavily natural, intensely knowledge-based, and extremely large computer programming language. At the time, he struggled to explain exactly what Wolfram Language is. "It's a new kind of thing"

So programmer of modern days can't handle development without strongly typed environment, aided with intellisense and real-time syntax checking?
