SKY has confirmed it. Problems in Birmignham. Its time to roll out the forces.

Ow Lawd. Sky news has not picked that yet

r231:

about to srt in Birmingham

Are u serious

Am calling in sick for work tomorrow. Cant face the wrath of these stupid hoodies

Fire in Deptford.

Sky News says the guy who was killed did not even fire at the police. The two shots were fired by police because the officer involved "Feared for his life". Holy smokes, they killed the guy for nothing
Initially, the newsz was that he may have fired on the police. The police claimed they cannot say who fired first. The shot guy or them. Now the news is that even the bullet that got lodged in a police officers radio was one of the two fired by a fellow officer.

Sky News is showing it live. They just said Lewisham too is getting agitated. All the black areas seem to be going crazy.

They've started in Hackney. Check Sky News. Apparently, a stop and search by police sparked off the riot.

I just came from Woodgreen. So many shops were looted. T-Mobile, Boots, Body Shop. Several shop windows showed evidence of breakage - glasses shattered. There was a feeling of panic in the air. Even in the Wood green shopping mall where I went, several shops were closed. Some were shutting down as I was there. There was a brief period when people just started running - for no reason at all. Everyone is afraid.

The looted and burnt area in Tottenham high road is still cordoned off. Helicopter constantly in the air. Police every where. One officer said the closure will last a few days.

I've lived in Tottenham for over 5yrs. The level of poverty there is appalling. Am sure this is pent up anger over the yrs not only about the shot guy. Its also strange that 99% of the police who reacted to the incidence were white. White policing a black neigborhood.  Are there noo black people articulate enough to drive around those pandas or ride those riot horses?  Anyway most of violence was perpetrated by people who had no idea why a peaceful protest was going on in the first place.

Already copycat riots happened in Brixton, Enfield, Walthamstow. Helicopters have been hovering over our house since saturday.

The lyrics made me laugh at times.
I initially thought "comical". Whats the stuff about selling biscuits  Who is brother Wale? That dude is in trouble
My rating on the voice and arrangement: not bad.
Lyrical content: not very good
Verdict: Interested to see what she does next before I reach a DECISION.
Advice: Work on the lyrical content. The voice is good though.

Thats like giving it to you free

last call for bids.

They probably think:

"Fukc it! I already have him now. Am gonna eat all the eba I always wanted"

and so they balloon out of shape.

Show her a mirror.
She will understand.

Where is that statistics to prove rich guys dont marry. For ya info, in ma neck of the wood, only poor dudes remain barchelors. Bride price too cost.

A psychopath getting free press  

Would you trade a six pack guy for a rich pot bellied dude?

ok you are right . testers are still relevant but someone with a sole role for just testing is probably becoming redundant this is because majority of the testing process can be automated if the software is designed properly.

That means the person with the sole role of automated testing is becoming highly significant. 

Automated testers are programmers mind you. The developer should be confined to his role of crunching out codes. The tester - be it manual or automated should check the codes for defects.

Even in agile, all the players are present (BA, Tester, devloper etc) and work simultheneously.  However irritating the tester is, every SDLC process worth its tomato must have them present. Testers checkmate lazy developers.

Exactly. Security will forever remain an issue. Ethical hackers will never lack job.

candylips:

With more organisations adopting agile methologies like scrum. the role of testers and Business anaylst are becoming irrelevant .

I was just reacting to your initail assertion.

Testers have never been more relevant. Mind you, testers are not just point and click trouble makers like you want to make out.

What of penetration testers? With hacking becoming fashionable among bored teenagers, who would ensure the safety of corporate infor? I think the only testers in danger of extinction are the "point and click" group. Failure to step yr game will backfire.

Much as testers and BAs can be a pain, they are an integral part of the SDLC.

I have just installed and currently playing with Selenium, QTP and LoadRunner

what i ment was that manualy regression testing your software everytime you want to release your software is error prone because a human is involved.

Custom created Automation scripts themselves are not error free. A human is involved in setting up automation processes too. In the end, manually checking codes before they are unleashed is necessary and will remain indefinitely.
Automation is not God sent end-it-all solution.

Half the tester job adverts on the popular job boards added he word "Manual" in the titles.

candylips:

it is not entirely true. what typically happens is that when the tester goes off and start testing independently without collaborating with the developer, they sometimes misinterpret requirements or functionality.

Thats not what I meant by independence. Testing in isolation of the developer never really happens and is wrong. I was trying to say an entirely different person (different from the person who wrote the codes) should do testing. Like the popular pidgin English saying goes: "Every pikin fine for im mama eye" Every developer believes they are gurus. Developers may be blind to coding errors for various reasons. Only an outside person can really point out errors they may want to pass on as expert programming.

candylips:

Also manual testing is just error prone especially when you have many moving parts.

Didn't get that one.

candylips:

the idea behind automated test is to capture whatever a tester will do manually in an automated test and run this whenever the software is built.

There is limit to what can be automated.

Larufa:

He also alleged that Abiola, being an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), would not have been killed if he had heeded the warning of the American agency that he should renounce his mandate.

Thought FBI was domestic and CIA foreign. If Abiola was an FBI agent, then he should have been working within the USA not outside it.

Automation might be a God sent but you cannot automate everything. There will still be stuff that needs done manually. Stuff like performance testing can be done automatically. YES. What about visual checks, etc.

Again developer bias means tester independence continues to be a large and favourable factor for proper software quality measurement.

Would developers really make good testers of[b] their own code[/b]?

Most software testers go on to become Business analysts (BA). These people draw up requirements after sitting with business owners. Developers now build the system based on the drawn up requirements. Testers ensure the system has been built exactly as the BA drew it up. A frequent cause of defect is when requirements keep changing. That is, the business owner keeps asking for changes here and there.

Business Analysts earn quite a lot especially when on contract. A combination of Project mgt, Software Testing and Business Analysis is the bomb. Employers will chase after you like Mr Biggs chicken.

So NITEL is this cheap?
Not even up to half a billion

Basically whats been sold is the potential. Whoever buys would need to work on all that. Build the traffic.
All those factors listed have been considered and would affect the prize. Which is not too high by the way.

more bids needed plz
