Completely lapsed and left that out. Support is very cavalier. If you submit a web ticket, it can be days before they even look at it. A lot of problems are just brushed off, you're given a curt "its not a problem with our software" and that is that. I understand they are at the mercy of the device vendor when it comes to certain things, for example Apple cutting off device tracking of WiFi-only iPads.

I really dislike the blackbox aspect of AirWatch itself. You prep the servers, but they perform the install and the updates. You have to pay for updates out of a bank of paid hours. For example, you want to go from 5.5 to 5.6. If it takes an hour and a half, it is taken out of your bank. You also pay for every device you have checked into AirWatch. It just reeks of double-charging. You don't get charged if you have a problem stemming from a bug.

I install and maintain much more complicated software. I'd really rather they give me the update and if it goes awry then I'd call support. It runs on Windows server, it isn't rocket science.

The initial install support and training was sub-par, too. The same engineer that performs the install also gives you a basic rundown on the console. Very quick, and sometimes the best technical people shouldn't also train people on its usage.

That all being said, I have about 1200 devices in AirWatch. More or less I am the only person for the deployment and maintenance of these devices. I have very little complaints about the use of AirWatch, my job would be a lot more difficult without it.
I'd say leave it up. It's part of your history, something that shows that you put a lot of effort into something, even if you didn't perceive it as "successful". You undoubtedly learned a significant amount during the project, and the repo stands as proof of that.
To be fair, the media covered the protests pretty well when it started and there was the possibility of joining the EU and thumbing their noses at Putin... there's just been a bit of typical fatigue on a long-running political story lately.

I just hadn't learned how much it had escalated.
Ok! It looks like you discovered the thing I found out last night: You get one if you become a lifetime member, at $10k.

They are definitely looking for ways to bring down the cost. I'll suggest to them that they start a waiting list. In the meantime, I'd suggest you follow the Long Now blog or the Rosetta Project blog. You can be sure that they will mention a 10x drop in cost on both of those.
Yup, this is definitely one of the features I'd like to add in next!
I generally organize stuff like I did in 1Password. So I have stuff like this:

/logins/<domain>/<username>
/servers/<hostname>/<username>
/databases/<type>/<host>/<username>

Then I can do stuff like

pass /logins/<domain>/<username> | pbcopy

and the password gets copied to my clipboard.
About #1, it just takes something like Beagle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beagle_%28software%29) integrated with the file explorer, MS does not even need to touch the filesystem. But I never tought it was that usefull, and I can't get all the hype around the concept.

About #3, yep, XP's pinball is just great, I'd expect the number of good games to go up in newer releases, not down.

> If its wrong to harass the low level worker its wrong to harass any level of worker at their home.

If we stipulate that actual harassment is illegal, I don't think the rest of your statement follows. Protesting at the home of a worker without decision-making authority is unlikely to change anything, protesting at the home of a high level executive (hypothetically--you'd never get past their security) could potentially convince them to change the way their company does business.
Public housing projects worked great for Vienna (Austria).

Even though a third of Vienna's population (2.4 million) lives in public housing [1] today, Vienna has one of the highest standards of living in the world. [2][3]

There're a lot of things that I don't like about Austrian policy, but not having masses of homeless people roaming the streets is certainly not of them.

> 2) This creates classic housing projects problems which inevitably turn into centers for crime, over time deteriorating neighborhoods and creating tension that is bad for everyone.

Depends on how well it is implemented. Here they are distributed across the whole city thus preventing concentration of the poor in one neighborhood.

There are still parts of the city where more poor or rich people live, but there is no part where you'll find only one type precisely because there is public housing everywhere.

You, my friend, lack a sense of humor.
There is no way for app developers to know which users have deleted the app from their device.
Basic Job is horrible idea. It means hiring someone in made-up job. You take all the time that this person could spend with his/her family/children or on self-improvement or looking for a worthwhile thing to do, waste some of your resources that are required to set up this made-up job and pay so little money that the person will struggle to support himself/herself.

Communist states had basic jobs. I lived in one, it wasn't pretty. People got bored and lazy at the job, drank a lot of booze at work to kill the boredom and not care about what they did at all because that they knew they'll get their sh*t-money anyways.

Nowadays part of civil service office workers in my country fit the description of Basic Job. They sit 7-8 hour pushing unnecessary papers for near minimum wage. They are wasting their lives to prove that they deserve a handout. It's most often women that can suffer low pay and toxic work environment. Government could reduce much waste if it just sent them home with the same pay so they can take care of their children better instead.

Apple vs. Samsung is in no way equivalent to patent trolling. Patent trolling is done by companies that don't make anything.
You not need to use "mode" command to do it. If you search in the options of cmd.exe, there is a way to set the width in characters, but cmd.exe can't remember it for the next time that you open it (so is useless by laziness).
ConEmu is far better that cmd.exe, but I really wish having Konsole or Yakuake running in Windows.
It's funny that a company can be so lost while there are so many technology folks and enthusiast that are clearly laying out the solutions for them. It's going to be very interesting to see what happens to this company over the next 10 years.
HootSuite Acquires Social Analytics Leader uberVU
For my fellow ignorant folks, I found this summary useful: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2014/01/21...
Why not just write the license in such a way that linking against the stable ABI requires your code to also be GPL licensed?

Is there a legal reason why the requirement can only apply to the original source code and not the compiled source code? Don't the "proprietary binary" people exert some kind of license over their proprietary binaries?

And why can't the Linux Kernel have a versioned ABI? I don't know enough about it, but does it really get revised that often and by that much? I mean, Apple and Microsoft seem to be able to make this work, and everyone seems to think they aren't very capable compared to the Linux Kernel crew. The argument about "having to support old things" also doesn't seem to hold water, because one of the big reasons people use Open Source software is to leverage older, outdated hardware or to have access to older, outdated software and data that the proprietary vendors leave behind.

Not to take away from the story, because it's downright awful, but in Ukraine, most phones use pay as you go burner sims. That's what I used when I went there. I picked a sim card up for $1.

My point is that fortunately, most of those phones are not tied to you and your social security number like phones in America.

It's the "company culture" of a tech company on the downslide. Remember 20 years ago when NSI had a monopoly on all domain registrations and a basic .com was going to cost you $100/yr? If you can't sell something people want, sell them something they never asked for.

Just IMd with some former contractors I worked with that live there - they're doing ok so far. They said that this law isn't final - there are people in the Rada who oppose it and want more debate before it can go into effect.
Question: people will often protest at the houses of CEOs, who consider themselves just employees doing their jobs. E.g. after the Bhopal disaster, people protested at the home of the Union Carbide CEO as he was trying to evade responsibility and minimize payouts to the victims. Is this inappropriate?

I agree with you that the protestors didn't gain anything from this particular protest and did harm to their cause, if anything.

Gallows humor is very hard to pull off without being involved yourself and there is the clear danger of overdoing it. I think the replies are an example of both.
Some people also make fun of everything that does affect them.

People are complicated. I have been to funerals where it is almost like a roast. Some people deal with heavy emotions through humor.

I do understand how if something doesn't affect you it can be very disrespectful to mock it. I am just pointing out that not everyone holds a reverence for even very serious situations.

Another reason to support open source projects, with goals of taking away power and money from the companies who monopolize the market. I was "thinking" about going MAC/iOS recently for development and this just helped me change my mind.
A few questions: Are you white? Are you male? Were you born in a country that had clean running water? What about public education system, or a country that had education loans easily available for you? Did you grow up around people that had jobs? Were literate? Had gone to college? Did you know your parents? How often did you suffer from hunger growing up?

All of these are forms of privilege. Some of them may apply to you, some of them may not, but if you are posting on this board there is a very good chance that you were privileged. One of the insidious problems of privilege is those with it think it is the norm.

When we talk about privilege we are not trying to take away from the very real benefit of drive/ambition/hard work. I'm sure you deserve the good life you've built for yourself. But a little empathy/understanding that you did have some very clear advantages just as a product of your lucky birth, goes a long way.

Windows shells and the cmd.exe are a crap when you compare against anything that you have in GNU/Linux or *BSD.

bash, zsh and fish are far better and more intuitive that Powershell. Plus cmd.exe is a joke if you compare against Konsole, Yakuake, eterm, etc....
Yes yes, software patents are ridiculous. But they are a part of the current legal and business system and until that changes (and it should), Apple or anyone else would be idiotic not to play the game as it exists.

For those complaining that autocomplete is obvious and this patent is 'disgusting', they quite clearly have not read it [1].

The patent describes exactly how Apple's autocomplete implementation works, specifically on a touch screen device with a soft keyboard, right down to when things should appear depending on what punctuation is typed in and how new words not in the dictionary should be added. This is not a 'hurr-durr we invented autocomplete' patent, this is 'this is exactly how our autocomplete works' patent.

For anyone like me unsure what the Rada is, it's the Ukrainian parliament (they have a unicameral system).
At least in Mac OS, they have always been called Apps, and with Mac OS X (2001) they even adopted the ".app" extension (Mail.app, Safari.app.) Steve Jobs used to call them apps in public all they way back to the 80s, even during the NeXT days when they only focused on 'serious' enterprise software.

Windows users call them programs and I guess after the 'there's an app for that' campaign, everyone associates apps with smartphones but in reality the term is almost as old as the PC.

As a BT Infinity (Fibre) customer I've realised the limiting factor for me is the fact I'm connecting over WiFi. Speed tests top out at around 50Mb and not 76Mb on my laptop.

I do wonder how many complaints they get from people complaining they only get 50Mb and not the advertised 76Mb.
I have always wondered what is the common definition for a billion dollar company . Is it the annual gross or net revenues or is it the valuation ? If it is valuation, what P/E multiple ?
This is exactly what I have been wondering. Do people still use the old slicing method for their PSD documents? Whenever I code from a PSD design, it is used strictly as a reference. I attempt to reproduce it using all CSS, and then for the parts that I cannot reproduce in CSS, I will extract the images from the PSD usually by just copying the layer to a new document and saving it as a PNG. But having these PSDs is very important for me during the design process, during the coding process, and having them around to compare after you are done.

It's very easy to go off track and start designing on the fly if you don't have a solid, agreed upon, reference.
"Cure" might be too strong of a word, but it would certainly help immensely.
"... Seeing as this is a software complaint, it should be directed at Google, NOT Samsung, who have little/nothing to do with the software on a Nexus device."

It is imported (attached to hardware) by Samsung so why should it not be their legal problem? Now you would hope that the software's provider would indemnify you and/or fight the legal battle on your behalf but that is for Samsung/Google to sort out not the company allegedly being infringed.

Note that I currently have not looked at the patent or this case in detail and I don't yet have a position on validty, infringement or even know if this is Samsung's own software or Google's.

[Edit - Fixed: "so why should be their legal problem."
I agree with everyone that's calling this mob behavior and harassment. In no way is this "OK". But...

I'm actually glad this discussion is happening. I think it's a really interesting problem that faces a lot of cities, ones even less prosperous than SF. Hopefully the opposition can follow up this overwrought and misguided protest with an actual dialog with companies like Google and the city.

I also hope they stop singling out employees.

why is it not reasonable to target individuals?

when you target corporations, people point out that they are complex structures and that the decisions made by them do not represent every single employee

when you target specific employees with decision-making power, people point out that the corporations are the problem and they are beholden by law and so on and so on

when you discuss that maybe the blame is on capitalism for institutionalizing antisocial behavior, you're called naive and showered with examples of the good things it's produced

there's some cognitive dissonance from detractors/businesspeople not primarily concerned with social welfare in taking one of these positions at a time and not realizing that everyone else sees them take the three in conjunction
I know! In the US you have "free speech" zones. You can get fenced in and say whatever you like. How is that any better? We have governments that are entrenched and don't want to change. They use their powers and then the majority of people are shocked when they find out.

I don't think the world has changed much since WWII, just that the crimes are more nuanced and better hidden.

That's not a particularly good argument, because one of the main point of people protesting the NSA surveillance (which Google is a part of) is that it makes them feel unsafe. It's all a matter of perspective.
Hey, that's 90% of my business. At least it is an Ai file and you can pull SVGs out of it if that's your thing. You're right that it's no fun.

At some point, I decided that I'm okay with that battle (there's a lack folks who have both the skills and the masochistic willingness to do it, and I charge a relative lot for the service).

That said, I've been finding that a) designers who still really care about "pixel perfectness across devices" but don't know how to code usually aren't all that great (so I see fewer of them as move to better projects) and b) the ones that are really good also have an understanding about how the finished product should feel and will change across devices/screens sizes/etc (and what kinds of crap I might need to add because they have missed or omitted some functionality.

I've found it really helpful that the poorer designers can't think about the edge cases (or even to send a post archive or 404 page, in the case of WP sites), so I end up just doing whatever, and then iterating based on my own preferences... if they really don't like it, it's not my fault, they just send a design.

It's still all a pain in the ass, but at least I work remotely, for a few hours, and get paid okay... I just have to be okay with folks telling me to fix the "horrible looking mistakes" I did intentionally but which don't match their (non-obvious, often poorly thought-out) aesthetic bends.

I've never seen it stated so clearly but I think that it's fairly common sentiment. If you made bad financial/job decisions in your life you deserve to not be provided with such basic necessities as food and shelter that we provide to even most serious criminals.

Basically in public opinion not getting rich enough (to support yourself in economy of the time) is very serious crime and you should be punished for it with hunger and homelessness.
8.1 doesn't push new apps to the screen by default. They appear on the "all apps" screen, where they are indeed grouped (by the old start menu folder presumably, e.g. "Microsoft Office").

Also you can remove apps you don't want from the start screen. It's not supposed to include everything on your PC. It's supposed to be the things you use frequently. They only did the auto-pinning in 8 to increase discoverability, but it added more clutter than value.

I'd tend to say I agree with you, except for one thing: the response itself is clearly slightly in jest.
