Did anyone consider that this might have been dreamed up by someone who is pro-Linux who thought that the anti-MS sentiment hasn't been high enough lately, so they stirred the pot? Yeah, I kind of doubt it, too... or maybe this comment was

Thanks for sharing! I wasn't aware of the test or I would have taken it.

Great as always, but Tim says: Open Standards Drive Innovation These standards aren't really that open because of the committees, large companies, and bureaucracy surrounding them. And major languages we use like PhP, Python, Ruby, Java,

:) That's one way. The other way is to remove the overhead and determine at a basic level what the company's goals are and how you are going to gather and use metrics simply to determine how well those goals are being met. Outsource it or u

Change the environment variable name, go through through your apps (and kernel probably) change the code to use a new one. Anything is doable, it just takes time. I'm not saying it is trivial by any means; I'm just saying it is an option. I

That happened to me for a while and it made me think of the hard workers in third world countries on meager diets. But eventually it catches up with you. I still skip, but I notice it is harder to concentrate in the afternoon.

What if the results of what are exposed show that there is only enough real work for 25% of the current staff? Would the administration implement the layoffs? What I've learned is that if you think like you do (and I do), you should not w

I worry because of the "breakfast is the most important meal of the day", so I just skip lunch. I've not lost much weight. I've heard just eating less each meal is also good, but I've not been able to do that effectively. Fitting in exercis

So, the thing to do about it is to help expose it by determining and implementing accurate methods of work quantification as it relates to productivity and exposing the results to the administration.

But for simple devices or server setups with few changes over time, it might be worth it as it would at least cause a little more work to hack in. I remember that it used to be encouraged to use non-standard paths for security's sake, but t

cd /var/tmp; When I see things like this it makes me think that if standard paths weren't used, then it would it at least make things a little more interesting for the hacker. (They'd have to find a location first.)

I'm not an expert on scaling uploads, but here's what I'd say off-the-cuff: 1. Try to save time on the UI if possible by reusing existing solutions for multi-file uploads: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=upload+javascript+plug... 2.

I would use this if it didn't gather my email address or contact information, but I could see others using it that didn't mind giving up theirs. Good idea!
