h1b's are walking the hallways. US born folks are second class citizens since we are not as abusable as the h1b's.
It's ironic, don't you think? The fact that they can be abused makes you the second class citizen?:)
It can be rough being trapped in a job as an H1B in the US. What was originally a great opportunity can become down right nasty. And you don't even have the luxury of quitting.
hmmm... Why would they put in a backup plan that is not needed? Maybe the usage of the word 'redundant' is redundant in this situation? Or backup is redundant. But I'd have thought a backup is never redundant. Useful, those things. Having backups. Right? Unless maybe it's not a useless backup, rather, it's a very profuse and lavish backup plan. That makes sense. I think. Now where did I put my medicine?
Main Entry: redundant Pronunciation: -d&nt Function: adjective Etymology: Latin redundant-, redundans, present participle of redundare to overflow -- more at REDOUND 1 a : exceeding what is necessary or normal : SUPERFLUOUS b : characterized by or containing an excess; specifically : using more words than necessary c : characterized by similarity or repetition d chiefly British : no longer needed for a job and hence laid off 2 : PROFUSE, LAVISH 3 : serving as a duplicate for preventing failure of an entire system (as a spacecraft) upon failure of a single component - redundantly adverb
Only problem is a lot of the 'coming soon' games on their website never materialised in the end. Some titles I was particularly interested in have vanished from mention (Like Neverwinter Nights).
Thats why I bought a PSP in the end:) The Zodiac still serves me well as a PDA, portable library, media player, etc.
I just hesitate to mention it to anyone else as a games machine - It sounds like a great idea - a combination games/PDA - but you're better off with a PSP or (the much cheaper) GBA if you want gaming.
However, it's still possible to transcode from one format to another with no loss of quality, at the possible expense of huge files.
uh...
So you're saying (if I understand this), that it's possible to transcode perfectly from one compression system to another... by not compressing the files?
Can you imagine an episode of Friends or Boston Public or 60 minutes concluding that abortion is wrong, or that environmental regulations are too strict?
I don't know about you, but I'm also having a hard time imagining them concluding that abortion is ok, or that environmental regulations are too lax...
I'm unsure as to how VoIP is going to pan out. I think the ultimate killer-app for it would be the ability to be mobile and not restricted to the same elements as a regular land-line.
To answer a question like this, it's important to understand what voip actually is and what it's not
- Voip is not skype, or vonage or any other 'PC phone systems' -Theses are all simply applications of voip.
Voip is actually a lot simpler in concept - It's just a different way of carrying voice - And it's carrying voice over IP networks, instead of the traditional dedicated single purpose voice circuits of the past, like your home phone (PSTN) line, or an E1 PRI digital circuit.
Thats it. Nothing magical, or something that needs to be proved. The 'Killer App' for Voip is the ability to transfer data over the existing ubiqitous IP data networks, and the fact that both voice and data can coexist on the same network. It's already being used all over the place, from the large scale carriers to small software applications running on your PC.
It's only a matter of time before everything is voip - Though it's likely you won't even notice. The handset on your desk at work, your home phone, will all be Voip one day soon - They'll look like an normal phone, and be used like a normal phone - It's just that they won't be connected by that analog circuit any more.
An accurate, well researched post with supporting evidence. And it languishes unnoticed while it's own parent with no supporting facts to its claims is moderated up high.
Is it just me, or is something wrong here? Someone mod it up.
"Xandros always lets the other distros get the bugs out of the latest bleeding edge software before they do a new release so this should be another solid release...... Can't wait. Gotta get me on that beta list."
Hold on... You're telling us that the reason you love xandros is because of its non-bleeding-edge stability...... and you can't wait to get on the _beta_ test?:)
If you came up to me and offered me the presidency of the US, I'd probably decline in favour of whatever bridges your were selling, then ask for a swig of whatever it was you were drinking.
As others have said, the world is already mostly covered with water - Not a bas assumption it will remain.
As to the city in the shape of a question mark, if you'd read the article, you'd have seen that the student did this as a statement that he also had no freaking clue as to what the perfect city of 2250 would be like (Nice cop out answer.)
I agree about the human body one though. Odd.
As for 'form following function', dispite what you think, there ARE cases in the world right now, where the city was built for a function - Canberra, the capital of Australia, for example, was built to be capital, as opposing to growing in to the role.
Actually, those people are directed to another job

~blink~
hmmm.....
actually, this idea has more than a little merit.....
Sounds to me that we're not building our IT systems as well as the engineers are building their air conditioners.
Not something to boast about.
hmmm... Why would they put in a backup plan that is not needed?

Yeah, a *real* supercomputer uses vacuum tubes and steam valves.
it IS a sweet little machine (I own one)

Would it be an open source screwdriver?

Two words:
Better marketing.

... a version of Skype that can be used on WiFi enabled Cell-phones as a Java app.
:)
Yeah, because cell phones are really crap at all that complicated calling stuff
The graphics are fine, the gameplay oddly like World of Warcraft,
:)
Oddly like world of warcraft?
You meant, of course, that WoW is oddly like EQ1, riiight?
The Iraqis as a people are much better off this year.
Then why is it that they don't seem to think so?
This effect isn't completely new (at least I don't think so).
:)
Absolutely correct. The effect has been around since the dawn of time.
The theories presented are of course a more recent vintage...

"Ah, leeching off the work of others? Pointy haired haircut?

Nope. That's not the reason. Rather, the number is not prime, and I doubt it occurs in e anyway.
actually, considering that e is an infinite sequence and all, I suspect there's better than even odds that it does occur somewhere in there...
... The fact is that aside from a very few scenarios Bush won all the recounts performed by the various newspapers and groups...
Uh... The fact that apparantly the newspapers and media count your votes in the US for you quite frankly disturbs me...
