Same in Poland - regular taxi drivers need to have licenses. Only positive is that Uber tracks and records the route, so you can apply for refund if driver took unnecessary long route.

Do you prefix everything with "this"? Did you ever..No, but I had two Forms in app and each form was referencing the other one as "other".

NAS recommendationsI'm using older version of this: http://www.zyxel.com/products_services/nsa310s.shtml?t=p[^] Works fine, quiet enough. After installing ffp[^] you get almost anything Linux can offer if you need extra features. Edit: just for reference - better zyxel+ffp link: http://zyxel.nas-central.org/wiki/FFP_as_zypkg[^]

MSFT HCK, crock of shitOk. I get it. This is unit testing. But the certificate is for the whole chain working: HW<->OS interface<->Driver<->OS interface<->Application I don't say you should not test driver and HW separately. I repeat: certification is thing after unit testing. It is to certify that pieces tested and approved separately before DO WORK TOGETHER!

And as for the windows system causing tests to fail, that's just plain stupid.
And here we are: Driver is working? Yes. HW is working? Yes. Whole solution is working? NO. Still no need to test the whole thing? Ok, arguments aside, something constructive now: Are you 200% sure that neither HW nor driver makes the interface unstable? Ok, after unit tests you have the right to be. Most common cases? Flaw in interface, wrong driver or HW reaction to nonconforming signal on the bus or interference with other (faulty?) drivers/HW ... As far as I remember CHAOS is the test that is doing exactly this kind of tests. If it fails without your driver you should suspect there is something unstable already in your system. All patches installed? All drivers for all hardware updated? Known problems checked? Look, if you are the only one who is suffering this type of problems - it probably means there is something wrong with your setup. If there are many others like you - leave the Soapbox and join them on MS forums - MS should hear you and fix the problem :)

MSFT HCK, crock of shitCalm down, this is soapbox. Why so serious? But if you insist... ;) Yes, I've heard of all these terms and yes I know the idea behind microkernels (but had no real life experience with Windows drivers, I admit). As a customer I would appreciate if the certification "yes this hardware driver works with this OS and this HW" was backed by a test with this OS and this HW. I'm not interested in certificate that just say "this driver works as piece of software". I would compare this to doing just unit tests on "modularised" and "un coupled" pieces of software without doing an UAT (I really hope you don't need to look this term up...). Do you understand my point now?

I don't want to test the OS, the OS drivers, the PC hardware, the USB host controller, or the hardware the driver is written for. All I want to test is the driver, that little tiny bit that sits between the host and the IO manager.
Well, I'm not sorry for you. That seems the way some manufacturers do and we end up with brilliant drivers that work all the time except the real hardware is connected :)

Michael BrownProtesters insist he died because of stereotype: black=criminal So they fight with this stereotype by starting riots, destroying public (and private) property, hurting other people and stealing TVs from stores. It makes sense, doesn't it?

Mike Hunt...I live in Poland and pay <$700/year for full insurance (including Auto Casco - full refund even if car is stolen or trashed because of my fault), just after two years of owning a car (8yrs, 1.3d). You can buy a compulsory insurance for less than $200/year if you have good insurance merit. Gasoline - $1.6/l Average wage: ~$1200/month (~$1600/month for programmers) Anyone to beat that?

If some group as powerful as government or big security agency want to see your data - they will, even if you have it on pendrive in your pocket. Only safe place is your mind.

My area (Flint, MI) is bad for programming work, but I don't have much experience. Will moving make a difference in that case?I found a lousy job (programming, but not something I would like to do for longer time...) just after my Bachelors degree. Stayed there a bit longer than you - for 3 years. That was my "gain the commercial experience" period. Then I looked around and in my area there was 6 job adverts. In the area I live now - there was >50. Moving? Yes. But consider this advice (it was given to me by my fried when I was looking for the change): 0. Never move if you have no prospect for job there. 1. Try to find job in area you have someone (relatives, friends) - they may help you with accommodation, they may know the company, living costs, etc. 2. If this is very distant try to set few interviews in a row. It's hard, but gets you more chances for small cost per interview. 3. Have a backup plan - if you will not find the place to stay, if you (or the company) will change mind in 2-3 months, etc. 4. Never try to move into highest pay (and living cost) area without secured contract and place to stay But today the world is a bit different. Did you try remote work? Freelancing? Work as subcontractor? For most companies this counts as experience. You may for example fry hamburgers in the day and customize Joomla modules for someone in the night. ;)

Low voltage lightingI didn't expect a section called "IP Numbers" in the electrical wiring guide. Maybe that's because English is not my native language. :) Still, I find this quite funny:
On reffered page:
Equipment with no IP number must not be used in Zones 0, 1 or 2, or in any other wet or damp location.
