Outdated in a sentence as an adjective

Com/Contra/8780398 The code from the post is misleading/outdated.

There are problems with outdated versions of IE, should that stop you? There is nothing wrong with ID selectors.

Which I think underscores my opinion of how outdated the old site design was.

The article cited is from 2008 and so nearly five years outdated. The rise has stalled and the trend has been reversing with a slight decline of 1% in 2012 [1].

That's outdated advice, unfortunately. You can't do this with most hard drives anymore.

By and large, these classes are not popular with students at all, the most obvious reason being "why the **** do we need to know this outdated ****? If someone likes it, they can take it as an elective."

The Internet has made copyright law outdated. Social norms are in the process of adjusting to the new situation.

Your ideas on Psychology are outdated. What Freud believed is nonsense and without experimental feedback he could do little better.

Most SVN or CVS-based systems have an outdated, painful Web interface, buried under a thousand menus - assuming the project even sets one up to begin with. Even when you have a program installed on your computer, it's easier to browse the code on Github.

Their examples are outdated, insecure, and don't really explain why things work in a certain way. Their tutorials are optimized for copy & paste, and God knows how many security bugs in the wild are due to somebody copying W3Schools.

They would rather hear in advance about a new edition, and wait for it, than buy an outdated version. Steven's need for books for his seminars is a special case, but one that he could have anticipated and communicated to us in a cooperative way.

While there's great feedback here, it's interspersed with information that is either outdated or just flat-out inaccurate. Overall, Angular is a much more extensive framework than Ember.

But on the other hand, "users and developers are exasperated with Craigslists insistence on preserving an outdated interface and design." I don't know the legal merits of either party's position, but from an ethical perspective, I tend to side with Craigslist here.

The library was outdated, but there were enough books on physics for me to refresh my understanding and my friends and family ordered books for delivery for me on a regular basis. I discovered a life-long love of Mark Twain, especially the book he wrote about Joan of Arc. 6 Months seemed to crawl by and was full of home-sickness.

I would love to have a bullet point on my OER: * Successfully eliminated five outdated computer security training programs, saving the Army $15MM/year in program costs and 750,000 hours of Soldier training time.

Even the tried-and-true desktop metaphor seems like an outdated crutch for helping old people understand computers. How does imagining manilla folders help the next generation of computer users understand directory structures when they've seen more computers in their time than file cabinets?

Note that I of course have no gripes with Android OS/concept itself -- it's a good contender to iOS. My gripe is with the current gouging of consumers by hardware manufacturers/cell phone companies, of the fragmented/poor/outdated hardware coverage in many models, lack of upgrades, et cetera. And don't forget the mandatory "crapware" that carriers pre-install.

Instead of the previous concerns people were now unwilling to support the majors, or wanted higher quality encodes, or simply thought that IP sales were outdated and believed that music acts should shift to solely making their money through touring and merchandise sales. Whether these are reasonable new barriers or not I'm not at all interested in debating.

Not only I wouldn't expect anyone to understand what that project was doing and why it mattered, it would not get uploaded to github because it was outdated before github even existed. So while the quoted sentence is still true, I think anyone using this service misses out on masses of experienced developers who simply didn't publish their code on GH, for various reasons.

It may seem all outdated to us global internet citizens, but a lot of those old-fashioned real-world rules evolved because there was a problem. That's not to say that all rules in their current incarnation are sensible and well applicable to the current state of affairs, but participation in the law system is not voluntary - you don't get to opt out just because you think it's unjust.

This is the way you should do hiring, if you happen to have any semblance of fairness and intelligence: If a senior person with a somewhat outdated skill set applies for a job, then you're not supposed to test them on the latest technologies, you are supposed to take a look at their track record and try to figure whether they are generally a smart person and whether they were able to get things done back in the day. If someone was a good programmer 20 years ago, then they will be just as good now, if not better, because it's ultimately a person's intelligence and attitude that determines how good a performer they are, not a list of buzzwords on their resume.

Quote Examples using Outdated

It really grinds my gears when I see stuff like this: "While this could bring more licensing revenue for journalism, it may also produce a phenomenon like what is occurring in France and Germany where publishers are treating copyright like a tax to protect outdated industries and chilling online innovation in the process." Gee, how outdated can an industry be when you're fighting for the right to use its original content for free? [1] It's not like the AP is trying to protect the underling facts here. Meltwater could have gotten around the licensing requirement simply by paraphrasing and summarizing instead of copying snippets verbatim. But that would've required paying people and it's cheaper to just let AP do the work for free. That's almost the definition of free-riding. More generally, people throw out the word "innovation" whenever they want to use content for free. The internet allows new distribution mechanisms. There is innovation in that, sure. But distribution mechanisms are useless without content. Creating an innovative new distribution system doesn't entitle you to get content for that system for free. Ultimately, what people value is the content, the distribution system is just a means to an end. If the creators of that content want to be compensated for it, they should be. Nothing stops you from "innovating" a new distribution system using content the creators of which are happy to license for free, other than the simple fact that there is no money in that because very few people want "indie" content. [1] Does the government sometimes use law to prop up outdated industries?
