A warm feeling obviously isn't enough because it's not directly connected to actually doing things right. How about 10% by weight of my plastics back as 3D printer filament? Plus the threat of losing access to that service if I keep contaminating it.
I use TinyTinyRRS on an old laptop I leave running at home and have a variety of ways to connect to it from outside the house. It's my main source of news, and in fact the way I was alerted to this Slashdot article. It consolidates feeds from the following sources, allowing me to quicly keep up with a ton of news and other stuff that interests me in one place:
English Wikinews Atom feed. ("http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewsFeed&feed=atom&categories=Published¬categories=No%20publish%7CArchived%7CAutoArchived%7Cdisputed&namespace=0&count=30&hourcount=124&ordermethod=categoryadd&stablepages=only")
That's not the only broken assumption in that paper.
There are two important points here:
Jobs are changing: What you were trained for even 20 years ago may be a viable career for the next 5. Meanwhile if you're 40 you probably can't afford to stop working and go back to school.
The number of unskilled (or low-skilled) manual labour jobs will fall from now until it hits zero. As will any management job that can be done by software.
In the short term, governements have to help people retrain in a way that keeps a roof over their heads.
In the long term, governements need to stop producing mindless drones for jobs that don't exist. And they need to stop calling businesses the engines of employment while they throw tax cuts at them.
Any article that thinks that working less gives you more sleep is ignoring the majority of life. I do my 38-40 hours of work, rarely more, and I'm lucky if I get an average of 6.5 hours of sleep per day. I'm not partying, I'm just trying to maintain my health and my house.
When there are no customer service agents to assist, and the answer is always "what does the website say?", this is the risk you run. At what point does it become a customer's responsibility to sanity-check a massive corporation's self-service portal? I say at no point. If your system stacks multiple discounts and you don't have rock-solid rules and checks, and I find a way to reduce the price to zero, then I assume that *is* a really good deal I've found. This is extreme couponing, not hacking. If an instant cash-back offer is more than the sale price, am I stealing? I think not.
I would suggest that he got fired for everything between the headings of "Personality differences" and "The harm of Google's biases", where he belittles every traditionally feminine strength. His belief that the male way of being an engineer is inherently better than the female way of being an engineer demonstrates a deep ignorance of what the company is trying to do and the way he handled it is exactly the sort of thing the company is trying to get rid of.
Looking at the increasing rate of disorders and other health problems affecting younger and younger children, there is some sort of problem with early life medical policy, but the "You're stupid!", "You're a liar!" screaming match between both sides of this debate is drowning out any civilised dialogue about the problem.
When we've all got grid-interactive electric cars, that will be the lowest demand time because everyone will be on the roads trying to get home.
Solar tracking is the right way. Fixed position is a financial and maintenance compromise.
So Diesel cars in France are basically unsellable and anyone who has one can look forward to fuel costs rising ahead of petrol for the rest of the time they have it. All that's going to happen is that Diesel cars that would have gone to or stayed in France will flood the rest of the EU.
Any clues on how to get past the placement agents? They seem to have a lock on jobs for companies with more than a dozen employees, but are so risk adverse they won't consider anything outside some tiny box they don't understand.
You do realise that the job boards are full of placement agents that make it impossible to work out which company is looking to hire. Finding s specific individual is completely out of the question.
My favourite remote control app crashes on connect, the keyboard support doesn't feel ready for prime time, particularly in the mail app where alternate keyboard mostly don't show up and running my iPad as a noise generator overnight it appears to charge only about half as much as it used to.
That must be nice for you, but some of us need to maintain a landline for affordable incoming international calls from family. Also, my security system has a dialer that needs a landline.
Does anyone remember Windows CE, Pocket PC & Windows Mobile? It's all the same thing. They realise the brand is ruined, release an iterative update, change the name and congratulate themselves on a job well done.
I can control the Philips Hue lights and Belkin Wemo switches in the house. The core of this is the Android app Tasker. I also use it for sleep tracking with the app Sleep As Android.

We don't ask if a man is a father before deciding if his views are valid, and we shouldn't assume that a woman is less of a woman if she's never given birth.
TWENTY-SEVEN months for 27 offences — that was the prison sentence handed to Perth pervert Stuart Arthur Clarke yesterday morning.
It’s a sentence that has upset one of his repeat victims.
Clarke, 52, was caught in January following two years of reports to police of a man appearing at homes at night and committing an obscene act in full view of female occupants in Maylands and West Perth.
For each of seven indecent act charges and one obscene act charge, Clarke was sentenced to four months imprisonment.
There were an additional eight obscene acts and one indecent act which each received a punishment of five months prison.
Clarke was also sentenced to 14 months prison for two trespassing charges, 18 months for two stalking charges, and 12 months for a 1997 burglary.
However, all of those sentences are to be served alongside a head sentence of 24 months for two burglaries and three months for an assault on a man who confronted Clarke during a flashing incident.
Requiring untrained people to enter data into your electronic forms and subsequently into your database is inherently flawed. Do you deploy a complicated new internal system and expect your staff to use it flawlessly without any training? No. Then why do you expect the untrained masses to cope with your forms and procedures?
Take a structured narrative, say a CV with a cover letter from the person that isn't trained in your procedures and get someone who is to put it into your database.

Or countries could actually tax businesses properly.

How about just trying to reduce the overhead of everything that isn't sitting in a moving plane?

That's a pale imitation of Isohunt from when the original got shut down. I doubt anything it does with The Pirate Bay will be any less pale.

With parole, Clarke could be out in 15 months.
