Gasp the government is monitoring public information! No we want a government that will only listen to its fan mail and not go to the sites that say something bad. If you are complaining about the government you should be happy they are listening to you. Also if the government is going to monitor against threats agains it's own country, I would expect you get more info from places where there is negative information.
Keep in mind Dilbert and the PHB are stereotypes used to make a form of entertainment well... entertaining. Going into management doesn't mean you will not use a computer again or never code. But you will be challenge yourself with new problems, when you go to management level you really see things with a different perspective. You see you are making decisions that you would have thought would be idiotic, make more sense as you see more trade-offs you need to make. For example. You may make a decision that all new code should be done in C#.net even though you know the advantages of all the other programs and you know.NET combines the slow speed of Java with the Platform independence of just making it in C++, however you see when trying to find new developers most of them have C# on their resume so it makes it easier for you to hire new people to maintain the projects. Or having to go to your team and tell them that their program is Good enough to be released, even though you know there are still rough edges. But on the brighter side you are also more involved in the decision making process, you really can be part of the creative process on making the application and you can get your way, and push for what you learned to be a good thing.
Consultants are not as evil, as Unions who feel threatened by them make them out to be. For the most part their motivation is to get the work done, so they will be hired again, as well empower the people working at the location so they end up looking good.
I love command line and would love to see windows expand its command line interface... That said, RDP is a good protocol for remote administration of a windows server. And the reason why people choose windows over all the other systems, really comes down to software availability. And most of the software written for windows uses the GUI so you will need RDP for server administration.

I think that is exactly what they wanted... No Kids/Teens. Yes they really want to attract the big buyers but just as long the average public behaves, they will be welcomed.
Because it is fun to see what type of stuff they are coming out with. I went to Linux World Expo back in the early 2000's and I had a general good time, going around watching the demos, being able to go around and asking all the people in one area questions and seeing what each company thinks is important and the next big thing.
A lot of these products will never go out into production soon, or will not be popular, however you get to see what is currently possible with technology.
"Because they are so close to their star, the three exoplanets are too hot to support life." Aren't red stars cooler then our yellow sun... Thus the habitable zone will be much closer to the star then for our sun.
Well large businesses have interesting interactions with each other. They are both Competitors and strategic partners to each other.
Microsoft isn't suing Google directly but the people who use Android. Because if they sued Google, And if Microsoft won, Google will probably pull their Android OS off the market, Then Microsoft will need to go alone against Apple. If Microsoft loss against Google then they will probably going to need to back pay people who paid the licence fees, as well Google can counter sue because then it would show that Microsoft is using Google Patents.
Now if Google Sued Microsoft then they risk loosing and dumping their product line. If they won, then they will need to do more nitpicking on whose patent is whose.
However if Microsoft puts pressure on LG, LG will determine if it comes down to a fight between Google and Microsoft they won't be in the middle of it.
Most companies like consistency, they will pay more to keep things consistent and prevent external change as much as possible. When external events either don't effect them then they are happy. If they do effect them then they will need reorganize again to adjust for that change. Corporate dislike of change is why they oppose New Regulations and Taxes from the government, not so much as their public statement that they cannot afford it or it will cost jobs, but because they need to change and if you get more government control they will need to change over and over whenever the public doesn't like something that someone else is doing.
The key difference is that the opposing side Google and not willing to admit that it isn't stepping on any of Microsoft Patents. And a lot of companies would rather pay Microsoft License fees, which probably offer protection beyond just Android/Linux patients but probably a more general patent protection with mobile devices, some of which LG my be doing themselves.
The problem is too many patents, so it has gotten too confusing and expensive to figure out, so it is cheaper and easier to pay the big patent holders a general licence fee then fight out which one they are are not using.
Perhaps it was because the requirements was for you to write JSP code and not PHP code.
But you say, PHP is so much better then JSP for all these reasons....
However all the developers know JSP and in that location it is easier to hire JSP developers. Or their customer base looks at something in Java as more professional the PHP.
When you are the Boss you have to think of other problems and code efficiency, is only a small part of the bigger picture you need to meet.
I seem to make my career as a Pseudo-manager, Normally with titles that start with Sr., Chief, Lead... You know, I find it it really depends on the person. Sometimes when they start they see my MBA degree and they assume that they are so much smarter then me at first. So I need to spend a little extra overtime and do work that they said will take them a week to do in a few hours, just to show I know my stuff, and I have been doing it for a long time. Also I will pull seniority/I am the boss card if there is a disagreement just to keep things in perspective. However other programmers feel so intimated by these hotshots and actually they are quite talented so I will coach them, and even give them some interesting problems, if they disagree with my approach, but their view has a good method I will go back and let them do it that way to get confidence up.
I find in a few weeks after Humbling the one who Exult themselves, and Exulting those who Humble themselves, they get into a good position where they are motivated to do the work that is at their level.
Now I have been Humbled and Exulted many times myself and it still happens (For example a Programmer right out of college, impressed me with his Java Skills, when I learned Java back then it was much more complicated to program, and when taught OO I did it in C++, where I learned to dislike OO, but his skills with Java and OO really showed me some really cool and new stuff, I was quite humbled and he changed my opinion on OO and Java). But when you are the Boss you need to show that you know enough not to be BS by those you are paid to manage, also to know enough to help keep the projects and operation run smoothly.
Many times in software development when you make a decision not to do something, and you have enough people asking for it, the best thing to do and bend a little and put the feature in. Google made and put a lot of money behind Chrome for a reason, primarily to have a widely available browser that uses all the new features of the HTML standards. So Google can make cooler products. Before Chrome and Safari there wasn't much effort in passing the ACID tests Google Chrome help put the other browsers in gear to keep up with the standards. However to keep this success up their browser will need to be and stay popular. So they will need to listen to their users, in order to keep popular. That said, there is a balance that needs to go on. You can't just put every request in, you need to step back and look at the popular request and objectively see if you made a mistake in the decision to not implement that feature. For example Apple and its long standing position of the one button mouse. Apple had a logical reason for a 1 button mouse. It was a good reason at the time (If you have ever taught an adult how to use the mouse who never used one before, you will see that they get very confused on what does the right click and the left click does) however over time Apple first started to add windows like support for 2 button mice if you add a PC mouse to your Mac, then finally they made a mouse that handles left and right click, and they did it in a way (I think way too late, and kinda overdone) that they didn't apologize for what they did in the past but recognize the need for more features.
Why would you say that? The shuttle tiles are designed to insolate the heat. iPads don't do that yet. Perhaps the iPad 20 designed to protect you from fire.
I would expect the insides would probably warmer then the outside, with the padding to keep it isolated a little better.
Besides these specs are not the limits, but the first 2 standard deviations of normal. So still a lot of them can handle far more extrams but don't expect it to be normal conditions for long period of times.
the -4 to 113 F means Keep it stored in a heated storage area, not in your outside shed with your snow blower, and don't keep it on your car dashboard.
So in other words you are a Lefty. I agree with the democrats view however I would like to debate the view the republicans have.
Their goal isn't as much making the Rich Richer, but cut down the expenses for the upper middle class, Those small business owners, who need stay in business and have to deal with laws and regulations that really target the large companies. So they figure that it will be better off to cut out these rules to allow the small business succeed. The large companies and the super rich actually tend to like the Democrats those extra rules and regulations with a little of funding can make sure some new regulation gets passed where a huge corporation can deal with but their small fast growing competitor cannot. They are looking at the effectiveness of such policies that make people feel good but they find that so much money is being spent and they are not doing much to help people out. They see these social services as way to keep the average person down, by covering for all their needs for their own life mistakes, and not giving an intensive to get off their butts and go back to work.
While most Americans would like to be working, however if you ever talk to some of these people about getting work, you here excuses left and right why they will not do a particular job. I don't want to work there, I don't like the hours, I heard from a friend the boss is a jerk, I am too proud to do that type of work... They don't have the idea of let do what I need to do to get by, because they are getting paid to survive.
While I think we need a safety need to allow people to take risks without loosing it all, and to prevent mass starvation and all the other stuff that will cost more if left by its own devices. However sometimes we need to give people some tough love and force them to go out and do something they hate just to survive. While it seems hartless, we sometimes need some extra pain mixed with the pleasure of earning your own money to put your life into perspective.
What people want is a lot of TV they want to watch and for a small price or free.
The reason for Netflix popularity (with the recent mess-up excluded) Is with its streaming for $10.00 a month you get a lot of options and they are/were updated frequently, which is a lot cheaper then buying DVD's of those TV shows you liked, and you don't feel bad after watching them not going back to them for a few years.
But unfortunately the media providers are still wary of this medium and want to over charge for this.
If the Mean average is about 8% and the standard deviation of grades is 1% So the the people who got 8% will get a 2.0 the people who got 9% will get a 3.0 and the one who got 10%+ will get a 4.0 the poor slob who got 6% or lower would have failed.
Now this allow the professor to raise the bar up very high, and really see how much the students get out of the class. The students will work harder because low percentages do not feel good, and there is always that kid who will break the average that will make sure you are on your toes. I have never seen a class based on a curve that ever got away with lets all try to fail so we all can pass succeed.
Also this helps keep the professors material at the right level too. If the average is 10% for passing then he knows either he is not teaching the material or it is much too difficult. If students are getting high grades of 90% and 100% then he is making the class too easy. If he gets an average grade about 70-75% and a Standard deviation 15% then he is around on mark.
Welcome to the New Scientific method. Step one get a PHD in science (or something that will make you an expert). Step two you make an hypothesis. (This hypothesis will be based on your political standing and it will either point to certain doom, or discredit others hypothesis for certain doom) Step three find some data (It really doesn't matter if it is based on your hypothesis or not, we just need data) keep on summarizing the data until you show a trend in your favor. Step four go in front of congress with your statement to push political action in your favor.
It could also be that his mind is quite active. A lot of people in his condition would be waiting to die, So they end up doing so sooner then later. Dr. Hawkings is still using his mind and being active member of society besides his condition.
There are probably other issues involved as well. Such as people who keep their minds sharp. A lot of people at around 45 start getting into retirement mode where their goal isn't to learn new things but just do the same thing until retirement.
It fits better in an economics model. The basic principal is the more education you have the more you will get paid. So as more people try to get a better education the more schools will try to meet demmand. So standards get lowered because a 2 year degree is needed for a job that was previously needed for a high school deploma. So the education taught would be the equlivlant of a high school deploma. A 4 year is about what you get in a 2 year, a masters is about the same as a 4 year. A phd is the same as a masters. And you need post PHD work to get the same level of work a PHD use to get.
The problem isn't as much lower school standards but students know how to handle the system to get degrees without learning as much. You find professors who grade easier, take classes on information you already know, or classes where you just need to work hard at but not necessarily learn from. They space out classes so they can take a class they think as too hard as pass/fail per semester as to not hinder their GPA. When going to other schools say to take a masters you need at least a 3.0 GPA. That means colleges can no longer grade their students the old way. By giving grades based on the statistics of the rest of the class. So going to grad school if you got a 2.5 from Harvard University would look worse then a 3.0 from University of Hartford.
If a student went to college for an education there would a lot less A students and a lot more C and B students as they will want to take classes in areas they are not good at as to really expand their minds.
A lot of people don't want to live in Cities. They are crowded, loud, full of crime, cost of living is high, there are regulations for everything you do, and you on verge of getting some fine placed on you every week, or wake up one day and find your car has been towed because the city needs more revenue, and started towing at 5am cars parked in an area that states no parking after 7am.
I lived in the city... and I hated it. So I moved to the country. I can sleep at night without a street lamp glaring at me. When I take my garbage out during the day, when I come back the cans are still there (empty) and with the lids intact. I don't get nasty letter from code enforcement because my neighbors are making a mess and the wind blew it onto my property. I can leave stuff outside on my property (like flowers) and not have it stolen the next day. I am not smelling cigarette smoke or pot smoke every day. Or have to hear screaming in the middle of the night because one of those looser neighbors doesn't know how to talk about stuff... Just yell...
It is quite, safe, I can do what I want and when I want to do it. And if people are going to tell me that I need to move to the city because it is statically more green, you will see me buying a gun. And using it on anyone who tells me that I need to move from my property, which I bought with my own hard work.
I am not anti green. I have a fuel efficient car, I pay extra for recycling, I try to make environmental friendly choices... However living in the city, I didn't feel like I was a human being, so I moved to the country away from civilization where things are far more civilized.
But does stomping on the gas really get you there faster?
I noticed on my GPS it gives me an arrival time. Sometimes when I try to drive a bit faster then I normally do I get there +/- a minute of the arrival time. While driving I have people fly past me 20 mph faster then what I am driving and only for me to catch up to them later on.
Stop Lights, waiting for traffic who has the righter way, and making sure that you are not pulled over by the cops. Puts a real damper on your driving. By going a little faster so you can get home 5 minutes faster you normally end up getting the Red Light faster and waiting.
I have a fare comute (30 miles) When I try to average 55 mph vs. 45 mph I still don't save much time.
If you want that extra 5 minutes. Go to bed 5 minutes later. Your body will not miss it.
Well every country really want to Spy on each other country. However very few have the resources to do so.
The United States like every other country out there is going to serve its own self interests. Having China Spy on the United States isn't in the United States Interests. United States to Spy on China is in its own self interests.
I wouldn't want to vote for anyone in power who goes. Well it is only fair for China to spy on us because we spy on them. What would be more of an outrage if we Spied on China and/or they Spied on us when there was a treaty that said we couldn't spy on each other.
Then in that case we would be breaking a treaty and that could be in detriment to our self interests as we are showing the world we are breaking a promise which could invalidate other treaties we have with other countries.

Apparently you never have taken statistics.
If the Mean average is about 8% and the standard deviation of grades is 1%
So the the people who got 8% will get a 2.0 the people who got 9% will get a 3.0 and the one who got 10%+ will get a 4.0

They are crowded, loud, full of crime, cost of living is high, there are regulations for everything you do, and you on verge of getting some fine placed on you every week, or wake up one day and find your car has been towed because the city needs more revenue, and started towing at 5am cars parked in an area that states no parking after 7am.
I lived in the city... and I hated it. So I moved to the country. I can sleep at night without a street lamp glaring at me. When I take my garbage out during the day, when I come back the cans are still there (empty) and with the lids intact. I don't get nasty letter from code enforcement because my neighbors are making a mess and the wind blew it onto my property. I can leave stuff outside on my property (like flowers) and not have it stolen the next day. I am not smelling cigarette smoke or pot smoke every day. Or have to hear screaming in the middle of the night because one of those looser neighbors doesn't know how to talk about stuff... Just yell...
It is quite, safe, I can do what I want and when I want to do it. And if people are going to tell me that I need to move to the city because it is statically more green, you will see me buying a gun. And using it on anyone who tells me that I need to move from my property, which I bought with my own hard work.
I am not anti green. I have a fuel efficient car, I pay extra for recycling, I try to make environmental friendly choices... However living in the city, I didn't feel like I was a human being, so I moved to the country away from civilization where things are far more civilized.
But does stomping on the gas really get you there faster?
I noticed on my GPS it gives me an arrival time. Sometimes when I try to drive a bit faster then I normally do I get there +/- a minute of the arrival time. While driving I have people fly past me 20 mph faster then what I am driving and only for me to catch up to them later on.
Stop Lights, waiting for traffic who has the righter way, and making sure that you are not pulled over by the cops. Puts a real damper on your driving. By going a little faster so you can get home 5 minutes faster you normally end up getting the Red Light faster and waiting.
I have a fare comute (30 miles) When I try to average 55 mph vs. 45 mph I still don't save much time.
If you want that extra 5 minutes. Go to bed 5 minutes later. Your body will not miss it.
Well every country really want to Spy on each other country. However very few have the resources to do so.
The United States like every other country out there is going to serve its own self interests.
Having China Spy on the United States isn't in the United States Interests.
United States to Spy on China is in its own self interests.
I wouldn't want to vote for anyone in power who goes. Well it is only fair for China to spy on us because we spy on them. What would be more of an outrage if we Spied on China and/or they Spied on us when there was a treaty that said we couldn't spy on each other.
Then in that case we would be breaking a treaty and that could be in detriment to our self interests as we are showing the world we are breaking a promise which could invalidate other treaties we have with other countries.
