Now employers check your credit, as if your credit score means dick as to how good you would be at a job.
It does. The same people that don't pay their bills and are irresponsible with credit are the same people that call off work twice a week and seem to have catastrophic job-affecting life events happen to them constantly.
Now, personally I think it should be illegal to use a credit score to make decisions on business transactions that do not involve providing the other party credit.
But acredit score is a good indicator of the types of life choices a person makes.

RE: They need to add a wooden table...
Whenever I see stuff like this, I wonder if its a case of the person forgetting to ask themselves if there is an easier way, or a case of them knowing there must be an easier way but this is the way they know so the way they know becomes the easier way.

cygwin will solve all your problems. I believe tar and gzip and selected by default.

Yeah you got me all the way around there... performace is an acceptable reason to roll your own, and it only takes 5 minutes to spot that bug, not 5 days.Well, the API that is provided is pretty limiting.... SQL::Abstract has been around for 5 years now:
DBIx::Class and SQLA quality is so impressive that I have to raise an eyebrow when something else is being used.
I'm quite familiar with SQL::Abstract, Ima::DBI, Class::DBI and most of the other even remotely relevant stuff.
They are all either massive performance killers or don't support the "removed for simplicity" stuff. :-)
They are also massively beside the point. He should still have spotted why it didn't work, and if not 9 days ago, then 8.

RE: Exciting new feature -- run a program full screen!
@Rootbeer said:
OSX, so far at least, doesn't really have a "maximize" -- the equivalent is more or less "resize window to the ideal size," but the guidelines aren't detailed anough about what that means, so every app behaves differently, and often not even the same way twice.
Its a non-free app... but Divvy helps with this. Takes away the absurdity of having to manually put the top left corner of the app in the top left corner of the screen, and then drag the bottom right of the app to the bottom right of the screen anyways.

RE: Source control of the damned
@RHuckster said:
I'm a little confused as to why you can't always keep the codebase on your own internal SVN server and when you are ready to make a new build, just put it in Synergy as a tarred file (which one could say is a bastardization of tagging).
Yo dawg we hurd you like revision control so we put a source code manager in your source code manager so you can manage revisions while you manage revisions.
YES!!!!!!

RE: Pushes my button
@DOA said:
I agree with the OP. It ticks me off when people go out of their way NOT to use basic HTML that would accomplish the exact same thing.
I think some people don't know any better.
A while ago this company I worked at took on an intern, and he would build this custom javascript that would grab all the data from the form fields, build a query string, and then window.location.href in the script to "submit" the form.
Even funnier was that his form was otherwise properly set up. His jaw dropped when I removed all of his javascript and the onsubmit form handler and everything still worked properly. He just didnt know that the browser already knew how to submit the data.

probably would have been forced to abort the landing as they approached the surface.
This assumes the abort switch still worked (actually, they'd probably remapped another switch to be the abort switch instead... So assuming THAT was done properly)
The part you are replying to had nothing to do with the switch whatsoever. Because of the software patch to bypass the faulty switch, landing radar stopped working (there was a bug in the patch). The radar had to be power cycled before it would start working.
Shepard at first was going to try to land without surface radar. After they cycled the radar it started working (just in the nick of time) so it never came to that. But later data shows that landing without radar probably wouldn't have been possible and the lunar module would have had to abort the landing (a process that did not involve the faulty switch).
