This happened to me ONCE. My new contracts now state any additional work requires a new Professional Services Agreement. No further issues.

@topfs Good point

If I were your boss I'd tell you to have a fallback plan. I remember a two day outage of AWS a few years back. Many companies had no fallback and suffered the consequences. If you could cover that in your plans then, yeah, CDN is fine. Personally I get a little nervous relying heavily on servers not in my control. Admittedly things are be the today than a few years ago. As far as speed, I suppose if your users are closer to the CDN servers it makes sense. Especially for media files.

Agree 2000%. I can run circles around Access with SQL Server. Damned parentheses groupings!!!

I like camstudio but last I tried it it did not record sound in the free version. I switched to Jing, but most recently, Screenpresso.

Good to know. Didn't want to try the RC just yet. Maybe I will. Will it run side by side ok with 2015?

I have to agree with your former boss. If the connection between you and the CDN is somehow interrupted, that's a problem. As far as speed, it's not faster to load across an internet connection vs a local file. Sorry to be an asshole. Just my opinion.

To each their own. I like PHP, warts and all.

Ah the PHP flame wars are alive and well. I look down on any dev that can't bend PHP to their will. 😛

Got an email from them a week or so ago saying they were implementing a 1TB cap. I have seen people complaining about this. Comcast implemented a 250GB cap a few years back, so I was pretty happy with this. I stream Netflix, play video games, download Linux distros, work from home with constant data flow over VPN and RDP and my max usage is around 160GB per month. No complaints here.

I'm laughing because of the cat comment.

You mean that's real? :D

Of course, not what I think about when I hear Big O. :D

Use your phone number, or at least part of it. Then you know what code is yours. ;)

I wanted to but my Mac Mini is too old. Just upgraded it to 8GB last year and it runs like new so no reason to buy a new one. Disappointed.

Doing that in PuTTY freezes the session. Grr.

Tip: Ctrl-Q unfreezes it.

55 person hours. That's over a week's worth of pay!

I feel your pain. I use my office phone # as my z-index. That way I know it was from me.

Been there. Done that. If you find you're not laid off ( hopefully not) then roll with it and enjoy the ride. Could be beneficial to your career. I missed the boat when it happened to me. My ex-colleague is now VP because he did just that. That was a "wish I had thought of that" situation.

Tried it for about two minutes. Too quick to stop listening. Several tries just to get a short sentence in. Uninstalled.

If you must connect directly from an Android app, just use JTDS. Android is Java, after all. (Native, that is.)

I'm guessing this would work. Haven't tried it myself.

Tabs. Seriously, why inflate the code size with unnecessary spaces? Help me understand this.

after a few years, you'll see the wisdom in what she said.

Poor planning on their part does NOT constitute an emergency on your part.

#1 reason to create a db wrapper class to wrap native functions. Change the db class, done.

Or examples that aren't about creating a blog or chat. Why would I do either these days?

No, but I want to. Problem is they put out a new release earlier this month so the documentation is out of date. Plus, if you don't know typescript all that well, the cookbook is useless. Couldn't get a simple ListView to work to save my life. Many wasted hours the past few days. It had so much promise...

Got Android 5.1 running in VMware Player. Once networking was figured out, was able to install an app. Success! Runs nice fairly fast, too.

@kexxar Required Pro or Enterprise Windows 8/8.1/10 or Server 2012 or above, and a computer that supports Hyper-V. My laptop has 10 Home. Never had a need for Pro until now. Not gonna upgrade for just this.

You sure that's Windows? Since when does a Windows alert have an OK button in the title bar?

Worse yet... client prints screentshot and faxes it.
