Once I stop reading article after article here and elsewhere about how there just aren't enough developers in the world to fill all the jobs he have now and coming, then I'll buy that we're on a pure supply & demand curve.

It doesn't require one, unless your group policy (or local server policy) has been set as such.

It's not all that different from renting a tuxedo.

While the tool to flash the SD that Microsoft built requires Windows 10, it doesn't require anything else besides a Pi: http://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/win10/SetupRPI.htm

Granted, if you go through the developer site, it points you towards installing what you need to develop software for it. shrug

Standing up, taking pictures without hiding, engaging with staff in front of the guys causing the problem, and pointing them out is passive?

What, exactly, would you have her do to escape this passivity?

A friend of mine put it this way: let people run disconnected, offline, and in the UI show a big glass dome over their city cutting them off Simpsons Movie style[1]. Over time, gas, food, and water run out, necessitating a reconnection.

So you're saying the iPod didn't kill the Zune?

I was asked that question during an interview for a technical role at Microsoft. Granted, it was 13 years ago at this point, but they did really ask stuff like that, and probably still do.

The speed limit on the NJ Turnpike is largely 65, but traveling at 70 - 80mph on the turnpike is normal, often the speed to just keep up with traffic, depending on the day/where you are on the road.

Wanting to go 80 on the NJT isn't "taking it to the track", it's "driving from A to B".

These days, I reply to recruiters with what they can realistically expect in the market, job description vs. expect pay rate. More often than not, the pay they're offering is way, way too low for the market at large, never mind myself.

Sometimes I get a reply, sometimes not, but I get the feeling that by & large the terms are out of their hands, and I doubt the recruiter sending the emails/making contacts is the same person that got the req from the hiring manager/company. It's that person, the person accepting the req, that needs to know the market and work with the hiring entity to put together a realistic job package. It's that person you should be frustrated with.

What's with that useless static header? Very distracting.

That said, interesting concept.

Too many people with slow (by today's standards) internet connections, or no high speed internet connection at home at all.

Off the top of my head, you can bet that sponsored tags aren't free.

So far, it seems bits and pieces of Office365 are down, Outlook.com, Microsoft's CDN[1], and their support site[2]... and that's just what I'm aware of.

From the study:

Note: The eCommerce subgroup consists of Internet retainers (merchants). All other Internet companies are contained in the Internet & Social Media subgroup.

Otherwise, Amazon beats out Mozilla handily.

You can list the calls for $x, but there's no process for selection behind it.

Not listed: the offending description, on which the whole thing seems to hinge.

Meetup.com seems like an awful choice for conference registration, or any one-off kind of event. I've been running not-for-profit tech conferences for a few years, and the mix of Eventbrite for registration (especially if it's a free-to-attend event, as mine are), and Lanyrd for schedule, speaker, session listings, and social interaction have turned out to be the perfect mix for me.

The only thing I'm missing out of those two is a system for accepting and voting/choosing speakers and sessions, but hey, I'm a developer, there are ways. :)
