Well yeah. But that is not a problem with the book exactly. The problem permeates the software development space in many other ways and the problem is...Many employers and many in the general public think that a weekend with the gang of four, Java in a nutshell and a complete lack of social skills are the definition of a complete programmer. Welders get more training and mentoring that the average programmer. Employers simply point to a goofy looking kid with bad motor skills and say get to it. Of course simply reading a book won't make you a good programmer. We need to develop apprenticeship and mentoring as standard models of how developers become REAL developers. As long a employers and the public equate bad social skills and the ability to type something that compiles with good developer we will have issues. It is not the patterns book that is the problem. It is in fact a very good book.

They have lost all credibility in the last year. They are no longer a news outlet but the paid shills of their network an their sponsors.

I DON'T want my computer to read to me every time I open you page. I can read it myself. I want to read it myself. If I wanted it to be read to me I would go to CNN.

Unless, it is from something you don't like to something you do (for instance from "IT Guy" to "Developer" or vice versa depending on your likes). Even then lowering your pay is simply the one of the options open to you. With a little more looking you might find that you can change and increase you pay. You have to be VERY careful because an employer is looking to minimize his expense and maximize your productivity. So, always bargain hard and start high. You can always move your price down, but you can't really move it up.

The above is the best of all the ideas. Puts the onus on the owner. Makes it much harder to push a fake update and allows the car company to always be up to date; it being the owners responsibility to apply the update. I like it.

But, the kitty that they are paid from is soooo large that from the corporate perspective they are not all that expensive. And free enterprise etc. So, paid too much yes. Anything we can really do about it no.

Damn but that posted before I fixed it speak not speek.

We have all recognized security breaches or system vulnerabilities and been given the brush off. Nobody in the business world wants to be proactive. If a business has never been hacked then security will remain lax until that company is finally hacked. Even then most companies will just do enough to take away (or make it seem that they have taken away) that particular attack vector. (Hope nobody minds that I spoke for all of us).

Wrong I see comment #46185253 in both places. Are you wearing a tinfoil slash hat TWiTfan? Cause you post is still there. Or maybe they put it back. Or maybe they have just deleted it so only you can't see it.

Look at reddit.com sometime. They drive way more traffic than you and they don't "look" all 2014.

To say fuckity fuck fuck fucking /. you used to be so kind.

Yes we have.

Nothing sucks that bad.
