Atheism is not ignorant. There are no 'two sides' to the coin. The Republican mentioned in this article is a fucking nutjob. Period. You either agree with this statement or you don't. It's VERY black and white here. He's a detriment to the further progress of our society and our country. You either vote for people like him or you don't. The instant you go "well, he's not THAT bad.." or "STUPID ATHEISTS ARE ALWAYS POINTING OUT THE CRAZIES!" is the instant I take from the statement that you agree with the guy enough to let him and those like him to have power. And from that, you are then on their side. And I then treat you like I treat them.
You want my respect? I don't care if you're Christian, Muslim, Jew, Atheist, or whatever; you vote people like them out of office. You keep people like them out of office. You make sure people like them will never have a voice outside of their cults and churches.
Your post wreaks of someone who truly thinks that this is the best way to hire somebody. When in reality the entirety of the process is from top to bottom a sham.
Do you know why that is? Because the reality of the world is that employment and work is a cutthroat business. Do the executives take these same "personality tests" to tell them that they're "best suited" for a call center position over being a marketing executive? Of course not. It's two entirely different hiring conditions applied based on whether or not you had enough money to force your way through college.
There is NOTHING good about these tests. Someone can LEARN to be good at their job, and behavioral training can happen mentally when someone's livelihood and money is on the line. Just because someone doesn't answer well on your PERSONALITY TEST does not mean they can't do well in a particular position. How do you know they won't change their outward personality based on the conditions of the job? Your system cannot possibly detect that.
Better AV/Malware protection. Built-in Flash (updates with Windows Update) IE10 (maybe being backported? probably not?) Significantly faster font/UI rendering (must use a card with TIR, so need to upgrade your video) Faster booting (on UEFI systems)
If you think that's all Vista is was then you need to read the Windows Internal books. Let me give you a hint: These guys know significantly more about OS design than you do. You can argue it all you want but until you can point out problems to me in the books word-for-word and why they're a bad idea, please shut up.
Unlike most people on the site here I think the Windows 8 platform is the correct direction for Microsoft to go. To not have a major phone or tablet platform would spell the death of the company--guaranteed. While they are certainly playing catch up you cannot argue that in 3 years they've turned around something that most major companies cannot do. Microsoft is an 800lb gorilla that somehow manages to put its muscle behind everything it does.
The Xbox platform has succeeded in the market to being a dominant player in the space. 10-12 years ago people swore that the Xbox would fail and that nobody could compete against Sony. Yet here we are today where the Xbox 360 has been a mature platform that drove forward online play for end users.
I suspect the merger of the platforms across the board will drastically improve the integration of products that right now are jarring to use. Hopefully MS can smooth out the rough edges.
It's not that bad. Doing Windows IT is significantly easier than handling Linux IT. If you do Linux server stuff specifically it's okay; but handling user issues is significantly different than server issues. You can't just cough it up and say "We have an open ticket with support we're waiting a day to get back on"; it's "This has to be fixed NOW because this user has $deadline."
This is absolutely brilliant and so true it's unbelievable.
Honestly, I let it be known that I am a flight risk by having little to no debt. I make them damn well sure that I am choosing to work there and can leave at any given time if I wanted to. For the employers that keep you around you tend to get better treatment.
There are a lot of intricate reasons as to why corporate policies do not carry over to acquired companies. The decision could have very well been the guy in charge at the acquired company.
Interestingly enough I was just talking to a coworker about this today.
I have never been able to get on a "proper" sleep schedule. Ever since I was a kid. I have always hated getting up in the morning. I have always hated mornings period. The nicest thing about being of school age was I could have summers to readjust to my natural schedule. Having this time off was one of the best things of my time and I am damn sure contributed to my ability to stay skinny. I ate much more food as a teen than I do now--AND I ate much unhealthier. I have consistently been unable to lose the weight after I spent most of my childhood life (read: until I got a fulltime job) so skinny that people thought I was anorexic.
I have difficulty getting to sleep before 11P/12A. Sometimes this can indeed vary but my most natural sleep schedule is roughly around this time or later. I have tried everything under the sun to get to bed earlier, including lying down at 8 with the intent of sleeping by 10. I've forced myself to try these patterns and it cannot work for me.
I have 3 alarms in the morning to wake me up, and I try to get at *least* 7 hours/day of sleep. I know that my natural body clock wants me to sleep 8-10 hours (I had a very big habit of a 3AM-12PM sleep schedule since I was a teenager) but it refuses to get to sleep earlier than 11PM. This does not matter if I wake up at 6AM, 7AM, or 8AM.
This is just who I am, and I know I"m suffering for it because I cannot make my natural body fit with my work schedule.
I'm a left-handed person that spent nearly a year in a cast when I was 7 years old with my left arm which forced me to do some things right-handed. I therefore learned a few things right-handed but I generally always go back to doing them left-handed naturally. I *can* do them right-handed, for example, cutting with scissors. However I default to left-handed mode.
I have a reasonably developed right-hand/arm because of that incident. I can do things with my right arm, I'm very competent with a computer mouse on my right arm, etc. However when it comes to things like typing or writing I'm purely left-handed.
For a long time I tried to teach myself the DVORAK layout for typing. A friend of mine got into it and he said it was great, and all of the 'studies' showed it was awesome. Unfortunately it also has a SEVERE right-handed bias while qwerty has either a left or mixed bias in general. Which means that most of the typing in dvorak is concentrated to the right-hand. I saw some pictures/images on this a while back that explained everything. The images explained why I had such difficulty getting up to speed on the layout which was directly due to my left-handedness. I can type > 120 wpm in qwerty most of the time, use my right-hand as my mousing arm, yet I still had problems here.
Some natural things you can't just overcome easily.
That's pretty much the same for everybody that mentions free market, not just Congress people and corporations. Even the people on internet forums. They're all for free market--until they're not.
How, exactly, do you implement a "checks and balances" system when the security of the IT system is ultimately a pyramid? There is always a *god* or *root* user, and it's always going to be a technical person that isn't necessarily the business front of the IT team.
Your ISP will provide you with say, a/60 network via a mechanism called DHCP-PD using what's called a DUID.
Your router will then provide you with a/64 (or multiple/64's, depending on the features of the device, I suspect just one by default unless you go into some advanced networking config), which will be used to connect your home network.
Your end devices, such as your PC, will have the option of what's called "temporary addresses". These addresses by default on Windows are preferred for 1 day (meaning, all new connections are made using that address), and available for 7 days (as in, it will accept incoming connections on that address, but not create new ones from it).
This mechanism provides a level of anonymity because the address generation has nothing to do with any identifiable components on the device itself.
This is also something you control on your client, not controlled on the routers. If controlled on the router, one would merely use DHCP, offering the same level of "anonymity" that we have today.
Actually, the main google.com site does return IPv6 proper (so does Youtube and all of their services) assuming you use a whitelisted DNS server.
On June 6th, however, this will no longer be a requirement and ALL DNS servers will return Google's public IPv6 addressing, including over your v4 servers.

I really hope this is not at the university level. If it is, walk out. You do not filter adults.
Part of the reason for 'having an app' is for native performance on the hardware itself. Even Facebook is making a native app on iOS.

There's no redundancy on users...
for the smaller screen. Definitely not a fan of the larger Android devices. A larger iPhone will make me sad.
In an Active Directory domain, the computer with the FSMO PDC Emulator role is not only a proper NTP server, but you can sync your devices to it.
Also, look up the command: w32tm
Doing it this way would be too obvious. The CIA has to stick with their original plan.

The Apple fanboys are still trying to think of something to say, something they can pick on MS for--because security isn't the answer now.
Right now they're hiding in waiting. Some of the more die hards may move to Linux over time.
You hit the nail on the head with that comment.

The first time I've seen someone that "gets it". Bravo, sir, Bravo.
They could just take a portion of the obscene amount of money they charge me for internet and pay for their peering agreements.
That's pretty much the same for everybody that mentions free market, not just Congress people and corporations. Even the people on internet forums. They're all for free market--until they're not.
