Yet another example...People applying for research/academic faculty positions at universities usually come and give what are known as "job talks" where they talk about (some of) their research and the current faculty are allowed to ask questions, etc. This is absolutely an assessment of their skills and abilities within their field.
Another point I'd want to make is that many fields, such as law or medicine, have formalized, comprehensive tests that are administered and scored by a recognized organization, e.g. the bar exam or medical board exams. IT certifications come nowhere near those tests in so many ways and as such, technical interviews for a technical position in IT shouldn't be considered out of line with what other professional fields go through, as I see it...
So wait, you are saying that MCSE and CCNE certifications have no merit? The test facilities are run independently by a recognized organization. Why did we spend all that time and money and study so hard? Have you ever taken one of the test?
It's not about the particular film or about the DRM or even about the PNY. It's about a means for distribution. I saw an advertisement about a year ago for a company in Ireland that was working with IBM on a similar technology that allowed for fast USB sticks to have a movie downloaded from a Kiosk to a flash drive. You buy a memory stick (not sure if it was a proprietary one) and their set top box. You pick out your movie on the kiosk, insert the USB stick and it downloads while you wait. They were trying for a thirty second transfer time but I think it was taking more like three minutes which can be an eternity with the kids in tow. Regardless think of the possibilities. They could put them anywhere and you would never have to go back to return the movie. And they could create an internet Kiosk across your home connection. Why do you think Comcast is going to throttle their bandwidth... too much video.
It's time we freed these slaves from their Jobs overlord.
Meet me at the internet cafe at Hollywood and Vine and ask for my code name Harriet Tubman. Leave your Macbook air and you too shall know freedom that shines like a ray of light (Silverlight that is).

All this negative blah blah blah. I for one see a great untapped market. Aluminum Foil jumpsuits and head gear.
Bye Mom! I'm going to protest the new ray gun the government is using for "crowd control" (four fingers held in the familiar pose)
Don't forget your reflective sunglasses Jimmy! Are you wearing your tinfoil hat? You get back in here and put your Microwave Screen Cream on there's a tube in the medicine cabinet. I don't want you coming back here with your skin bubbling again.
It is after all Microwave! Have you seen what even a gold trimmed cup will do in a microwave? Lightning shoots right back at the top of the microwave. Oh cr*p here come the soldiers. Hey I wasn't doing anything. I was just exercisin my right to free speech
Who didn't wear their anti-static wrist band?

ISS Goes Solar
·
· Score: 1
From SpaceflightNow.com..... On Monday, the Atlantis astronauts attached a new 36,000-pound solar array truss segment featuring two new solar blankets capable of generating some 20 kilowatts of additional useable power. On Tuesday, a computer crash occurred that ultimately left the Russian segment with a single guidance computer and a single command-and-control machine. That, in and of itself, was not crippling.
But Wednesday morning, as the Atlantis astronauts were beginning work to retract a different solar array wing, "we lost both of those computers," Suffredini said. "Currently we're in that configuration. The guidance, navigation and control computers and command-and-control computers in the service module are not functioning. Our Russian colleagues tried a number of techniques to try to recover the computers and were not successful."

Exactly.

"rob the bank or I shoot your wife" is a threat exactly how?
Everyone knows port 69 gives the best results with port 99 if you are trying to backdoor.
Lord Vader our troops are almost ready but I gotta run to staples to get some more of that plastic injection stuff for the printer.
