I am in college now, and familiar with tuition costs. Right now, a Va resident can attend basically any college in Va for ~ 10k / year. Thats tuition, books MIGHT add another 1-2k, but you can generally rent books for $50/class x 4 classes x 2 semesters.
Yes, if you cant cover that, you dont have the gumption. Sorry.
And I love how the headline demonizes merit based aid. Oh the horrors.
Australian and British citizens as well as families and associates of long-time despots, Wall Street swindlers, Eastern European and Indonesian billionaires, Russian corporate executives, international arms dealers and a sham-director-fronted company that the European Union has labeled as a cog in Iran’s nuclear-development program.
Hell, if you're a Republican (I am) and believe that hurricanes are caused by high barometric pressure (I do) and not gay marriage (I don't), then you, too, are a RINO
Oh bull. RINO refers to pushing for non-conservative agendas while claiming to be a republican (ie, a conservative). If Bloomberg claimed to be a republican and then pushed for the softdrink restrictions and cigarette restrictions, yes, that sort of makes him a RINO: conservatives are going to tend to NOT want overreaching government intervention.
This idea of McCains may or may not be a good idea, but if most of his ideas follow this one in suggesting "more government intervention as a solution", Im sorry, thats just not what the GOP generally goes for, and maybe the RINO tag would be accurate.
The hillarious thing is this is the third post Ive responded to, and the third which has called GOP folks various names (bigots, hatefful, derps, tards, wackos, lunatics). And the claim is that we're hateful.
* You may be experiening adverse effects from RADAR if you start having skin burns
* If you feel your organs starting to cook, you should mitigate the damage by leaving the vicinity of the radar device.
Damage is caused by thermal effects, thats it, and you should generally be aware of when that is happening.
More to the point, whatever damage is done by radio waves from cellphones is going to be massively outweighed by the barrage of "radiation" coming from that unshielded fusion reactor in the sky we call the sun (not to mention background cosmic radiation).
For the record, "cosmic radiation" is a known factor for introducing errors into computer memory. "A cellphone is nearby" isnt.
Its different in that its price routinely fluctuates by 50%, and has a crash every 6 months. USD fluctuates by a few percent, and has a crash every 40 or so years.
I would call that a substantial difference, even if its only quantitative.
A) A datacenter isnt interested in drives which each have their own cache, which is limited by sharing a SATA port with the platter drive. B) Datacenters are using SANs, which just about always require you to purchase vendor branded drives. C) SANs dont run Linux, so its irrelevant.
Salts and hashing algorithms arent supposed to be secret. The only requirement for the salt is that it be unique, and the only requirement for the hashing algo is that it be secure.
The first three bytes of the MAC address that is generated for each virtual network adapter consists of the OUI. The MAC address-generation algorithm produces the other three bytes.
Unless you manually pick a MAC address, youre going to end up with a MAC that identifies as VMWare, every time.
Grats on being both a jerk, AND wrong; its really a potent combination.
I think you missed the part where theyre holding Seoul hostage, as well as sizable portions of their population.
All the history books / classes trumpet the whole "US Defender of Freedom" thing regarding WW2, because we helped stop the holocaust. Yet we have the same sorts of concentration camps / ghettos as in WW2, in North Korea right now. You dont think thats something worth considering war for?
So the excuse is, "But maintaining an important app involves work."?
The "excuse" is that IT cant unilaterally make a lot of these decisions for organizational and practical reasons, regardless of how good the theory is.
However, "IT" basically means the guy who fixes his family's PCs, and you're lucky if any of 'em actually program as a hobby.
Oh wow, OK. If they just replaced our whole staff with HS CS students, we'd be in GREAT shape! Yea, theyd totally lay the hammer down on the executives who demand access to that java 1.4.2 app that Company Y has shared out to us. And they can totally explain how they threw out that access database that was used for accounting because it sucked, and unfortunatly some functionality was lost but now they can access their records in firefox!
Im sure it will all go fine, and their tenure will be long and incident free.
Yes. It will cost said user about 4 hours of downtime and a few hours of tech time to re-image the machine. But thats a heck of a lot easier to budget and handle than trying to get 15 departments to agree on an upgrade date.
If you can figure out a good way to pull something like that off as an engineer in one department, Im all ears.
What hes saying is that really havent had any experience in the enterprise, but youre more than happy to play the back seat driver. And it sounds a lot like hes right.
THe excuse is, this is the reality we live in, and I can either make retarded proposals that will help noone, break all the applications, and get me fired, or I can accept that "just upgrading" is a painful process thats gonna take years to accomplish.
I view my job as making sure others can do their job, not getting some ego boost knowing we're all on version 10.4.2.5 of IE or something. Id love to have everyone up to date, with all the latest updates, browsers, scriping environments, etc. But thats not how the real world works. Sometimes its not possible to get the latest and greatest, so if I want to get work done I make do with the crappy framework we are given.
Let me ask you, how large of an organization do you work with? Have you ever had to do IT work for one department full of executives, and get them to have access to a whole bunch of other departments that you dont control, when that may mean using Java1.4.2 or something because the other department sucks and hasnt upgraded? GO ahead and tell me how i should bite the bullet, block the insecure java version, and tell the executive "sorry, you cant access that payroll data, its not secure". Guess whos going to end up with the short end of that stick?
YOu can try to explain why its bad that tons of people are in this situation, but it doesnt change the reality that "upgrading saves money" is a load of crap. Its a gigantic PITA and a huge cost.

Way to be fair, objective, and unbiased.
No, you need to stop casting wide generalizations, and stop calling others hateful when youre going to use derogatory terms like "old bitty".

Am I crazy, or is this what we call hypocrisy?
Ok, because some "old bitty" (apparently thats not hateful at all) had bizarre ideas about Obama's nationality, Im a racist.
Sounds legit.
brainwashed... superstition.... derp... deranged... wackos... racists....lunatics...
What was that about hatred?
WHO lists the damage threshold around 4W / kg. For the average male, thats going to be around 320 W. Most cellphones operate in the range of ~0.1mW.
This is a non issue.
Let me sum up the WHO's report on the dangers of radar
* You may be experiening adverse effects from RADAR if you start having skin burns
* If you feel your organs starting to cook, you should mitigate the damage by leaving the vicinity of the radar device.

Germany made their behavior an international matter by invading neighboring countries.
As opposed to North Korea, which is only restrained by the knowledge that they cannot retaliate against the US if they spark a war.
What happens when they get second-strike capability? Or first strike capability?
Stopping the Holocaust was not really the reason the US entered the war.
I never said it was, I said that was the common claim, explicit or implicit..
Salts and hashing algorithms arent supposed to be secret. The only requirement for the salt is that it be unique, and the only requirement for the hashing algo is that it be secure.
Im aware of that, I was pointing out the hypocrisy of it all.
From VMWare documentation
The first three bytes of the MAC address that is generated for each virtual network adapter consists of the OUI. The MAC address-generation algorithm produces the other three bytes.
