Our product owner is pretty knowledgeable, but our BA is kinda clueless. And, like I mentioned before, none of the developers or testers truly understand the domain so requirements that come out of discovery end up being ambiguous and incomplete. And, to top it off, my particular team is...

C# is a .NET language (as well as VisualBasic and F#). If you're interested in web development then ASP.NET MVC is what you should study. For desktop apps go WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). Just go download Visual Studio. The free version is good enough. C# compiles into .NET IL...

I enjoyed the pilot. Plus, when was the last sci-fi show that took place on board a spaceship? I don't even remember, so I'm sticking with it unless it getsreallybad.

You've described our environment to a "T". Open environment with tables. We sit across from one another so it always looks like someone is peeping at you over their monitor. Plus, the constant talking between the guy on my right and his friend (who he got hired) on my left. Thankfully I can...

On another subject: our team uses the Scrum-Agile process of software development. What is becoming a major issue, in my mind, is how our development is so uncoordinated and unplanned. For example, another dev and I were tasked with adding new reports to a newly created module in our software...

Personally, I hate excessive comments. One of our devs loves to write voluminous comments and it eventually just becomes noise. Your code should be clear as to what it is doing. And, as for magic strings and numbers, that constant should have a descriptive name to make it clear what it...

Dunno but people at work made the same comments. So apparently it wasn't communicated that clearly. Also, not sure I liked their depiction of the King Pin. The guy spoke like a retard and wasn't particularly charismatic. How could such a person have so many people under his command? Throw...

Woah woah woah, stop the clock. What about Iris? He pines over this girl for years and years and just suddenly goes for some new chick? Zero sense. Unless Iris dies.

I slowly moved through the series and just finished it today. Really enjoyed it for the most part. However, I don't think the writers did a very good job at depicting exactlyhowFisk was "tearing apart" Hell's Kitchen (other than knocking down a couple apartment slums?). And exactlywhatwas his...

MURPH!

"By that logic, anyone who goes to an open casket funeral is a murderer." Fucking hilarious.

The coder is probably trying to avoid magic strings.

While we're on the subject...

Hey, I actually really liked this show. I admit the big bad is goofy looking, but overall the first season was a fun ride. You know, switch-off-your-brain type of thing.

I love this show for Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu's legs, but the cases are often a bore. I think the problem is that they have to craft relatively elaborate crimes in order to be a challenge for Sherlock. But I suspect they go way over the head of the general viewing audience.

I'm betting on the eventuality of Skynet. Perhaps nothing quite so apocalyptic as the films - but an advanced technological biological species will be replaced by a machine intelligence of their own creation. Either willingly or by accident. Honestly, biological organisms are quite...

We have an Indian female working with us. She's very nice and intelligent. Only complaint I have is she doesn't use deodorant.

Manual! Nice.

Oh, and fucking smart choice with choosing the rope. FINALLY someone makes some damn shoes.

I thought he was a really cool dude. I was cracking up over his rat-organ comments. Regardless, he knew his shit and I didn't feel he was ever being "bossy". I think a couple of times it was like, hey, I know what I'm doing, I've done this before, your idea ain't gonna work. But he was never...

They keep hounding us to write unit tests, but the problem is our application is so old it's inherently untestable. New stuff we can unit tested, sure, but changes or additions to legacy code? Forget it. Our app is an ASP.NET Web Forms which has so much business logic written into the code...

What doesTomorrow Landhave to do with Tron? Tron: Legacy actually had pretty decent box office numbers I thought?

The problem we have is, considering the whole developer / QA thing, is that neither understands the domain logic. It's like, product owner: "hey, we need you to add an additional safety check to our nuclear reactor controller software." dev: "Yeah, but I don't understand how the current...

Okay, so what's a reasonable price for an Apple iPad Air 2? All I care about is WiFi and the cheapest I can find on Amazon is ~$440. Honestly, other tablets, like the Samsung Tab S or whatever, isn't exactly way cheaper.

Calista Flockhart has always been sort of odd-looking. But for 50 years old she looks quite bangable to me. But, I admit, I like skinny.

Looking for tablet recommendations for my 72-year old mother. She's not technically savvy and struggles with the Windows 8 PC I set up for her (how she keeps managing to get a metro app to cover half the screen is beyond me). I fucking hate Apple (irrational dislike from my Commodore days, I...

She's more cute than "hot". I do, however, think she looks the part. I liked that they settled for the more conservative outfit. Although I, being the hyper-straight male that I am, enjoyed the more skin-baring ones.

Oh, come on. The effects were pretty damned good for a TV show. There were only a couple of places where the CGI looked a little off. But the fight scenes were fantastic. Straight out of Justice League Unlimited.

Which is floating in water...

That fucking trailer did the pilot NO justice. CBS may have itself a real winner with this one.

I'm telling you, they're all in the Matrix.

If it's a public company, be prepared for an initial house cleaning. Any under performers will immediately get the boot just to show you who is in charge.

Out of curiosity, what kind of tests do they throw at you?

Can someone give me a run-down of what significant happened this past season? I really don't feel like slogging through 20+ episodes. Just a quick summary and then I'll watch the last couple of episodes. Maybe.

Honestly, I wish I had just waited on the PS4 purchase. I have no doubt I would have bought one eventually but probably when it had dropped to $299 and revision 2 of the console. The Blu-Ray drive spin-up sound annoys me. My PS3 is completely silent. I'm not as demanding as I used to be...

Wait, didn't Juliette get on the helicopter? What was she doing while the Royal old dude got shoved out the door? "Just drop me off at Nick's"? I thought for sure it was Nick's mom that called Truble. That, somehow, it was all some clever ruse to expose the Royals or something. Guess it...

Professional ASP.NET MVC 5: Jon Galloway, Brad Wilson, K. Scott Allen, David Matson: 9781118794753: Amazon.com: Books The author works through building an online music store app which includes user authorization and security.

You may want to consider Microsoft ASP.NET MVC framework. User account management and security is baked into one of the template options. Obviously, though, you still will want to understand what's going on. I've been working through a MVC5 book and it's pretty sweet. Microsoft has become...

You know, I'm wondering if there's something one can do about the mosquitoes. That has been the consistent bane of existence for every survivalist. Could one weave some type of blanket out of leaves or whatever and lie under it? Would that help at all?

SHE MALFUNCTIONED, YO She was cute but that damn mouth would get old right damn quick. Wasn't too impressed by the dude either. Also, I call bullshit that he lost his water at the beginning of his trek and made it out without assistance. No way you could go a day and half walking miles in...
