Try describing your SEO experience in complete sentences and use grammar. You could lose out on a metric fuck ton of money when employers don't hire you because you can't communicate.
I grew up a few miles from there in the 80s. It was awesome hearing/feeling the rocket engine tests. I don't think there has been any correlation between higher cancer rates and the communities around that facility, so I'm not sure what that has to do with the story. Progress requires some sacrifice. If we aren't wiling to sacrifice anything we will never progress. The trick is finding the right balance and personally I feel we have swayed too far into the unwilling to sacrifice territory of the last few decades.
We already burn a crap load of coal for our electricity. Wouldn't it be great if we worked to make it clean-er ( at least in terms of soot and mercury released into the air)?
I'm no expert on coal power plants but I'm pretty sure we already do that with scrubbers.
There isn't much on the horizon that could replace coal over night. We should try to find something will all due haste, but it wouldn't hurt to get the low hanging fruit.
Maybe not on the horizon but there is certainly something that has been around for 50+ years that could replace coal overnight. It's called nuclear power.
Its pretty much what Obama is doing now and its a sensible approach.
Is he? I feel like its more about politics than actually solving anything. Instead of pumping money into "green" start-up companies that inevitably spread the wealth among their executives and then disappear in a puff of smoke, the federal government could subsidize the building of a smelter capable for manufacturing a reactor vessel. Last I read, the only country with the facilities to manufacture those is Japan and they currently have years of back orders. I also haven't heard anything about solving the nuclear waste storage problem out of this administration. Getting the waste problem sorted out, subsidizing the construction of a facility with the ability to make containment vessels, squashing all the red tape involved with new plant construction, and decommissioning some of the older nuclear power plants is the most sensible approach to getting us away from oil and coal in my eyes.
How can you prosecute someone for infringement based on an IP address? IP address doesn't mean jack sh*t. Unless you have the person's computer with the infringing file, and video of them using said computer at the time the file was downloaded/uploaded, it shouldn't be possible to convict somebody of infringement.

Subject: Dice.com influence over slashdot needs to stop right now
This is a vain attempt to save a website I’ve been reading and contributing too since 1998. Dice.com, you need to stop. Just stop. Like right now. Another post full of buzzwords from a PC magazine hack about what employers want will make me not visit/. ever again. Forever ever.

And their strategy does seem rather common in the business world, which explains the large percentage of buggy, poorly-designed stuff that we see all the time.
All I got was spam from the site and spam from recruiters asking if I want to move to texas for a 3 month contract to write code to test Ruby on rails deployments for 60 hours a week at $15 an hour. Now that dice.com owns slashdot and all I see is spam for me to work 60 hours a week to test whatever company has the most openings on their website. Synopsis: Dice is an evil spam monster of a company and has infected an old favorite of mine. Conclusion: I'm not going to use this website anymore.
It really doesn't matter what it is in. A CS degree will help a lot when you are first starting out but once you have 2-3 years experience it doesn't make much difference. This is coming from a software engineer with a history degree... I was an intern at a company that built computers, changed degrees to history after I started working there, later graduated and was hired on fulltime as an associate engineer. After 3 years I left. Now, after 5 more years in tech, it doesn't even come up in interviews. The guy in the cube next to me has a degree in business, on the other side is a former marine with no degree. Once you get your foot in the door, prove yourself as competent, and do a little networking, you are pretty set in this industry.
Anyone know how this monitoring software works and if any workarounds exist?
I'd guess that they grab tracker information and then gather IP addresses of those sharing but I have never heard of this company or their "product" until today.
I saw The Hobbit at an AMC theater a couple weeks ago with my girl. A young couple came in about 5 minutes after the movie started, sat in front of us, then proceeded to start taking flash photos of themselves with both of their phones. Other than people in the audience, who were blinded by the flash, nobody from the theater said anything to them. They also talked continuously until they walked out, about 45 minutes later.
This last weekend I saw Django Unchained with my girl. The theater was almost full so we ended up sitting in the handicap row, which is allowed for non-handicappers once the movie starts. About 10 minutes after it started an obese guy with a cane showed up and stood over us, staring like we killed his dog (we were sitting in the center handicap seats). He then hurumphed and sat off to the side. 5 minutes later he was asleep, snoring loudly enough for people three rows in front of him to turn around. I made a game of tossing raisonettes into his open mouth.After the third "score" he gave up sleeping and left, this was about an hour into the film.
While the raisonette game was fun, but these people are why I don't go to the theaters very often.
I had several professors who had classes moved to get older rooms with chalk boards 10 years ago. The main complaints I heard were that dry erase boards were hard to clean, the markers were more expensive/dried out/missing/bigger, and that the dry erase boards had to be replaced every 2-3 years if they were used a lot. These professors (some of the best I had, including an amazing CS prof) put up with all short comings of chalk (like breathing in all that nasty dust) because chalk had never left them stranded MULTIPLE TIMES in front of there classes the way dry erase boards had.
It was said well before the founding fathers, and if you had any knowledge of early US history you would know that our forefathers believed very strongly in an armed populace to keep crime, the wilderness, and the government in check.
The higher you raise corporate taxes, the more inventive ways large profitable companies are going to find to avoid them. So we end up taxing the crap out of small players that can't afford to globablize (and are a small percentage of oerall tax revenue), while the big boys just offshore their financials. If the USA were to lower corporate taxes 80-90% it probably wouldn't be worth the effort for a lot of companies to maintain foreign entities to get the tax benefits. This might make for an interesting economics investigation...

/. is going to hell in a handbasket real quick. Clearly dice's upper management is stupider than the last few companies that owned this site.
And their strategy does seem rather common in the business world, which explains the large percentage of buggy, poorly-designed stuff that we see all the time.
Like dice.com?

I would definitely re-install. As I recall Windows 7 recognizes SSDs and adds some special sauce to make the OS run better on them.
Just get a 120 or 250 GB on sale for your OS and applications. Keep your data on a traditional HDD.
It's worth it dude. Trust me. The upgrade to SSD was the most noticeable single component upgrade I've ever done to one of my machines.

Nerds read books. Girls, on average, are more open to and less likely to get harassed for being nerdy than boys are. Case closed.
I.e. diminishing returns.

And they might as well throw in The Hobbit movies along with em. SO BORING!
