Dollar Exposure

We just purchased a 42″ Sony Plasma television set. I have been working hard for a long time, and I figured why not, I deserve it. When you pay that much for something you want it to last a good long while and you have to make sure to keep it safe and protected. I am going to purchase one of the 32″ 40″ 42″ 50″ Sony Wall Brackets. I will obviously buy the 42″ size, I can not think of any reason to buy a different size. They stock wall brackets that are absolutely top of the line for Sony televisions. These wall brackets are a price that makes sense to me, not like the ones being vendored with the TV unit itself. Why would anyone pay five times the price, if they can get one so much cheaper over at Dekomount.com?

I am considering buying one for our other television, I want to do all I can to extend the life of my televisions. I went with a Sony brand product because I am aware of its quality and their products have a long lifespan. This wall bracket is the extra insurance I need to sleep comfortably at night.

I am heartbroken a bit. Perhaps it was a circumstancial tantrum or something. Linus Torvalds hates C++ and programmers who use it. I LOVE C++, and think its a very superior programming language.

I also think Torvalds is a champion, and hero, a pioneer, and the closest thing to a god this world knows. But then, I am a Linux zealot.

I hope this was some spat between design choices. Else, i am concerned that this man’s character has badly degraded over time.

*YOU* are full of bullshit.

C++ is a horrible language. It’s made more horrible by the fact that a lot
of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it’s much much
easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if
the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out,
that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.

In other words: the choice of C is the only sane choice. I know Miles
Bader jokingly said “to piss you off”, but it’s actually true. I’ve come
to the conclusion that any programmer that would prefer the project to be
in C++ over C is likely a programmer that I really *would* prefer to piss
off, so that he doesn’t come and screw up any project I’m involved with.

C++ leads to really really bad design choices. You invariably start using
the “nice” library features of the language like STL and Boost and other
total and utter crap, that may “help” you program, but causes:

- infinite amounts of pain when they don’t work (and anybody who tells me
that STL and especially Boost are stable and portable is just so full
of BS that it’s not even funny)

- inefficient abstracted programming models where two years down the road
you notice that some abstraction wasn’t very efficient, but now all
your code depends on all the nice object models around it, and you
cannot fix it without rewriting your app.

In other words, the only way to do good, efficient, and system-level and
portable C++ ends up to limit yourself to all the things that are
basically available in C. And limiting your project to C means that people
don’t screw that up, and also means that you get a lot of programmers that
do actually understand low-level issues and don’t screw things up with any
idiotic “object model” crap.

So I’m sorry, but for something like git, where efficiency was a primary
objective, the “advantages” of C++ is just a huge mistake. The fact that
we also piss off people who cannot see that is just a big additional
advantage.

If you want a VCS that is written in C++, go play with Monotone. Really.
They use a “real database”. They use “nice object-oriented libraries”.
They use “nice C++ abstractions”. And quite frankly, as a result of all
these design decisions that sound so appealing to some CS people, the end
result is a horrible and unmaintainable mess.

But I’m sure you’d like it more than git.

Every business in this day and age needs to be digitally accessible and be prepared to handle the digital data they are certain to generate and be provided with.

Does your business have the tools it needs to compete in the digital world? Software to convert files from PDF format to one your enterprise uses, and back again? Software to track finances, accounting for the small business, and project management software rank high on the “needs” list. There is software to use for business forecasting thats important to the bottom line. Software for email marketing would increase your clientèle.This is just a small listing of Best Software for Small Business. Software that allows for Public records searching would be invaluable to many business, for things like title searches, background checks on employees, the world would truly be at your fingertips, without the time consumption that comes from pure internet searching alone, and this would allow you to do things in your company to  progress the bottom line.

In a world where technology and life is moving into the digital at a rapid rate, a very large dependence is placed on data. Oftentimes multiple applications will run off of one database, or a systems crucial data can be left vulnerable, In both cases having an accessible copy of the data in a safe place is the difference between a success and a failure.

Inability to access data can cause a business a vast amount of money, it is imperative you have complete backups of your data.
Genie Backup Manager make is easy to accomplish this, and to do other critical tasks like registry management.
