Give HostGator a try. Excellent service although they do charge more to register domains. I had to switch from APLUS.NET (A Deluxe Company!! YAY!) after ten years due to horrendous, defunct, abysmal service from hell. I think APLUS.NET fired anyone who knew anything about networking and hosting accounts.
I don't know what service you have but 10GB a day costs me $100 PER DAY. I get 5GB per MONTH with $10 for each 1GB thereafter (10GB per month == $100).
Admitted Google fan boy. Google is still clearly the best search engine. If anyone is concerned with privacy they can find ways to use Google without divulging "personal" information. Facebook has many times more accurate personal information than Google could ever dream of gathering.
Indeed, Chrome has put a lot of pressure on Microsoft. Then again, everything Google does puts pressure on Microsoft. Ironically, Microsoft could have ignored all of this and focused on their core business (OS, Enterprise services, and server platforms). Hell, they could have even stopped producing a browser, shed the distraction, and continued on unabated. Now they are mired in a fight against many others in the industry, all of whom are leaders in their respective service or tech while Microsoft is an also-ran. You would think the stock holders would have some words.
This celebration that has become Christmas used to be the most anticipated time of the year and had nothing to do with presents in the shape that we know them. What you hate is the modern cultural manifestation of this corrupt and once great tradition. I wish it was just a celebration (party) involving the entire community and not just family. Don't let the shallow meaning of Christmas consumerism blot out your ancient heritage. Maybe one day we will celebrate again.

The Science of Santa
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
Santa Claus is an archetype established by ancient Nordic shaman who used to gather mushrooms (amanita) in a sack and descend into his "hut" (forget the name of the structure) through the roof to process the mushrooms before handing them out at the yearly celebration that took place around this time. Christmas is an amalgamation of MANY year end (beginning) celebrations that were common over the entire world. This saint you refer to did not descend through the roof of homes in any way and deserves much less credit than the Nordic shaman who were stamped out by the Catholic church (although the tradition is still somewhat alive).
Any association of Jesus and Christianity with this yearly celebration is a VERY late hijacking of this universal festivity. Like other traditions, the Christianity cult had to subvert these cultures to facilitate conversion. Being highly valued cultural traditions they also had to preserve the festivities to ease the transition. Why are there so many "different" holidays that all occur around this time of year?
You can really infer anything from the wrapping paper except that it is maybe a gift. Has this patent been granted? I thought that the design has to work in order to get a patent?
Before you read any further, just mod me down. The IT department's job is to make things work for the user and grease the gears of the business. Who cares where the stuff comes from. If it causes problems then it causes problems. Look at it this way, job security. Maybe IT needs a power check? I try to act as a service to the people in the company and consider them "my customers." It is a good idea to bend over backwards to accommodate what people want. Wouldn't you want to be treated that way?
My investment experience is limited to Fidelity funds and 401k's (and some stocks purchased individually). These are well managed and yield positively over the long run. [No, I'm not a shill] Playing stocks on your own (sole nest egg) is a tricky game and best left to the people who get paid to do it (professionals). Fidelity is a solid and trustworthy company (in my opinion) . Stay away from banks and non-professional investment as a means to retirement. The funds held and managed by a professional investment firm benefit from the power wielded by their massive interest in the companies. When their funds are invested in a particular company it is usually a significant sum and they are actively involved in communicating with and researching the companies they invest in. This tends to keep things in check, for if the fund managers detect any funny business they get out and put the money elsewhere. The fund manager's main concern is the firm's reputation and stock holder yields. If you care to research for yourself there are a several funds and firms which have weathered the entire economic downturn. It can be done. The news media loves doom and gloom (only conflict sells), so these success stories are not the average parrot garble.
I'm sure that if you are not vigilant you could lose money in a 401k. I switched funds (401k investments) and made money (good solid returns) during the 2008-2009 years. Also, government pension funds are doing very well. You will see dips and "losses" during economic turmoil but these can be temporary. Real companies a that offer needed services and well managed funds are insulated against major losses. Hearkening back to the Enron example, their employees had all of their 401k invested in ONLY(!) Enron stock. That is not diversification! Sure they experienced windfalls (which will never happen in a well manged and diversified fund) but they also felt the bite of total loss.
Having lived and learned my measly thirty years on this planet without a college education, It is my opinion that despite the well known problems with modern education, the requirement and justification of well-roundedness is a very good thing. I started college for the first time at 32 and I can see how valuable it is to take classes outside your field to round out your ability to think and consider new approaches. If there is any reason for college, the most glaring one is the way they force you outside your comfort zone whether you like or not. I have learned to stop dreading and avoiding classes I don't think apply to my interests or field because, almost every time I have taken them, I have been able to synthesize additional wisdom that applies to my interests. Making people take math and physics is a good thing. The only reason people do not perform well in math classes is because they do not study properly. I'm no math genius, but I get A's because I recognize when my study habits are not working and I scramble to adapt them or I simply practice more. The head math professor at my college was not good at math when he was young.
Unfortunately it is true that a lot of people CAN and do lie, cheat, and steal to get ahead. The workplace is very competitive, and when someone less capable comes up against someone who doesn't have to cheat the temptation is great. They face a choice of success or failure and the only thing to make it a debate is their sense of honor. Honor has to be taught, and I find it is undervalued or absent from the conscious thought of many. Although, it is possible to over-value your honor as well.
You guys have issues, but anyway. What is the point of cheating at a game that you play because someone designed the challenge--that you pay for? Doesn't make much sense to me. Cheats always seemed like something for little kids. Game cheats act to rob you of the value of the game.
This is originating in France for a reason. GMO crops have prompted riots in that country. These people are serious about food. America has been a push-over when it comes to GMO and most other food adulteration.
Like no one saw this coming? Her dad's name was fucking Alfredo for god's sake! Have we had a decent Italian on this planet for several centuries? WTF?! Bureaucracies, that's what you get.
NASA has a management system that is proven defunct. I wouldn't want to risk it souring my resume. Not very attractive. When your management and bureaucracy is bad enough to kill people it kind of drains out the incentive. I want to spend my life with a smart company and team enthralled with the prospect of surviving on their raw success. Bureaucracies survive because of status quo and tax payer windfall. You can keep it. If you have ever worked in a bureaucracy AND a real business you know the difference. In a bureaucracy people go through the motions and typically loath their job, in a thriving business people are alive with the smell of opportunity constantly perking their eyes--save for a massive corporation. That is why startups are so attractive.
However, for me, for example, the amount of time I save in being able to corporate systems on my own time means that the cost and added complexity of a smartphone is more than worth the it!
This is a political pissing contest. The president's administration relies on Google contacts, so you can expect attacks. Especially as Microsoft has become adept at political manipulation. I guess a lot of people think these big companies get off on having political contacts, actually it is the other way around. The politicians get off on having contacts at the popular (tech) corporations.

You are comparing a community college to a university. They are VERY different animals.
Playing World of Tanks, the accusation of cheating was thrown around constantly.
