It will be difficult to make inroads against HP Server Automation, but I am sure people would love to see you succeed.

That being said, this is very much a solution services business. You will need more than core talent. A lot more.

Wow, that's a horrifically one sided and incorrect view. Only held btw in the US, and by people who are not familiar with the actual history. Ford, like GM and IBM invests considerable effort in hiding their roles in that war.

Ford however, was one of the few who "took sides". They didn't just support the Nazis for economic reasons ( which is pretty damned horrific ), they actually hindered allied production purposefully.

Also, he got lucky. He built one of the first car companies and he did a good job at first. End result is he ended up being one of the big 3. Every industry has em. He was in the right place at the right time. From then on he had a large enough enterprise that it could run itself, all he had to do was sit back and not get too involved. Which he couldn't do. He nearly bankrupted the company and embarked on a bunch of inglorious economic escapades resulting in him being kicked out of the Ford.

I mean... jesus, who the hell taught you people history? How can you possibly look up to this guy FOR ANYTHING. He was a bull headed arrogant deceitful bastard who tried very hard to quite literally destroy his own country and his people.

I gotta godwin this, I just can't resist it. Sorry.

"I regard Henry Ford as my inspiration" - Adolf Hitler Ref: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/daily/nov98/na...

It's a hash. Not in any of my rainbow tables though =/

Also, look at the business policies and employment benefits first introduced by the Guinness brewery when they were founded. If you want to see how to establish a universally unbeatable brand identity they have a how to guide for the ages.

Sure, but Fordlandia, his inability to read, and his belief in such absurdity as "The protocols of the elders of zion" speak volumes as to the man's mental state. Which at best is mildly insane.

Uhm, Henry Ford was known for violently suppressing unions in his factories. He considered unions to be closely tied to "Jewish Zionist" ambitions. He was also a heavy monetary supporter of Adolf Hitler. In fact, he refused to give back awards he received from the Third Reicht, and was in fact buried with them. Oh, and he was illiterate.

So word of advice... don't take advice from Henry Ford.

Honestly, prince is pretty much cooler than anyone on the internets. I think we would do well to heed his advice.

I've seen worse offices, and better offices, but yes... offices are soul crushing prisons the likes of which would haunt your very dreams.

Dude is nuttier than a baby ruth. He even somehow managed to pull the "zionists" card.

While it seems snide, snarky, or possibly juvenile to suggest it... "Two chicks at the same time" or alternate versions of blow it all in a glorious escapade is actually a valid suggestion.

Money means fuck all if it isn't spent. Liquid assets are liquid. They can disappear to economic eddies and flows, or simply be squandered on poor planning. If you are young you are in a pretty agile financial situation.

Honestly, I'd say screw off to the idea of the mutual fund. Every engineer I went to school with ( as well as me ) got taken in by our differential equations classes. We lost most of our early investments in our 401ks.

If you are young you have the option to invest that money in a fun amazing experience. If that means a start up for you, do it. If it means moving out to some other city and finding a life there, do that. If it means hookers and blow... I suggest joining the republican party first you might be able to parlay it into a career.

Seriously though, if you are young you have the option of throwing responsibility to the wind, and you really don't get to have a second chance at it. Memories, experiences, they live in you forever. They make you a better person. And all the economic recession on earth won't effect the value of that.

Resource Management, and stability.

And COBOL is a horrible language.

But, I still think Fortran was pretty sweet. Also still has a pretty large user base. Especially among engineers.

I actually spoke to these guys directly about this at a party. Only for a few minutes cause I am sure everyone and their mother wants to bike shed with them. But yeah, xmpp might have been the better choice. Google certainly thinks so.

Protocol is all they have to get really right out of the gate.

I hope this stuff is executing on top of Dalvik and not via the NDK.

This is the scariest article I've ever read.

I think you are completely missing the point. Either you should be doing everything in the VM, or everything bare metal. Allowing all the apps to execute on either bare metal or the VM at discretion is a resource / security / policy management nightmare. Dalvik however really only functions currently with Java. So effectively you end up with having to provide other languages hooks into Dalvik, or getting rid of Dalvik entirely. Most of these comments really are completely off base. Did anyone actually take the time to read this before posting?

You really can't avoid native execution if you want to really push the frontiers on these devices. And because these are such small devices even lone developers can really push boundaries and make money and a name for themselves. But the second you start blindly "optimizing" their products, bad things happen in spades.

In my opinion implementing a VM purpose built for a specific language spec is, was, and ever shall be a mistake. Sun was wrong to do it with the original JVMs. In this regard at the very least Dalvik is ahead of the game. The problem of course is, however, that implementing any VM at all on an embedded device results in crap performance from all apps executing through it. The reason Apple chose to remove multitasking and force C# down people's throats was simply because it's the only way to develop an application that is sturdy and fast on an embedded device today. Claiming it frees the developer from having to optimize their code betrays your ignorance of developing on embedded devices.

This topic doesn't make any sense. Linux has many file systems. So which file system specifically has "broken" file locking?

So having read it. Seems this guy takes issue with the POSIX standard and it's flock requirements. Which of course makes this topic make even that much less sense.

Or we could not use the JVM, because it's antiquated and never worked. I mean... that seems to be where everyone went five years ago.
