The bombing of the Cole was a deliberate and contrived sacrifice to build pretext for stepped-up operations in the Middle East.
Proof: The attempted sinking of the U.S.S. The Sullivans months earlier, by the same people who successfully carried out the Cole bombing.
After the Cole bombing, FBI personnel were present on scene. Yemen at that time(specifically Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh, who was recently evacuated into the United States for medical care) was in America's pocket - he was in on it.
One of my favorite then-quotes of Ali's Newsweek interview was, "They write about this as if it were a play..."
Well, the powers-that-be are writing global affairs like a play, and you're all eating it up like a coprophiles in the library restroom.
LaTeX resumes are for people who graduated from MIT/Caltech or are otherwise celebrities in their fields and can coast by name alone.
Not knockin' LaTeX, just that resumes are not an ideal application of LaTeX.
Hey, I gotta question, man, and it's a stupid one. I've answered a lot of dumb, lazy questions here and now it's my turn to be dumb and lazy. How do I make those accent marks and other oddball characters here?
Meta-rant: Why do people post worthless "lazy comments" asking for examples when Google already provides them? Look up a damn example yourself, and offer a counterargument if you really want to advance the discussion.
But enough of that - I will offer you the real-world challenge: Write your resume' with Office, especially using an Office template. Be sure that template looks nice and pretty, with plenty of formatting. Fill it.
Now open it with OpenOffice. Aww, what's the matter, did all your perfectly placed stuff get all messed up and spill over into the next page? Does your once-good-looking resume now look like a freshman computer science major's blind, botched attempt at a rich-text editor? Now, without making any changes to the document, save it while opened in your favorite open source document editor. Then, open that same document in Word. Looks like shit, don't it?
As much as we hate to admit it, MS Office formats are still the most widespread in business and government. Any changes toward open source must embrace true interoperable, open source-friendly formats as well.
You are so full of shit. I'm all about the open source, but Office's speed, features, and reliability kick the living dog shit out of any sludgy Java catchpenny open-source alternative.
There's a reason for that - Microsoft Office runs on Microsoft Windows. Imagine that!
Yes, I do understand. People who have graduated college with a computer science (or above) degree know what Dijkstra's algorithm does.
The people in the real world who understand its applications are applying it and not being fake-fuck blowhards. Agile. Extreme (pair) programmming. HAW.
The daily meeting has other advantages:
1. It puts everyone in the same room at the same time and they know what is going on daily. This can stop duplication of effort as sometimes you get multiple requirements across many people but the work is actually nearly the same.
Do you all even talk to each other? Like, getting up and vocalizing rather than fucking off on Facebook all day?
2. It helps focus on what your tasks are for the day. Let's face it, there are days that you slack off on not because you don't have enough work but because your daily goal wasn't there. A quick meeting where you need to state your goal keeps you honest and helps you know your goal is for the day.
You should probably hire less microcephalics and other unmotivated, underpaid interns to do the actual work.
3. It is informal and no notes, nothing gets fixed in stone, allows for more of an honest assessment.
None of you have the balls to say that daily meetings are redundant and stupid, so you're all lazy, underpaid, or dumb.
4. Team lead is informed on what is going on, and when pressed by management he has the answer.
Why does the lead have to be pressed to know the answer? Once again, your company is full of idiots.
5. Simple problems can get solved easier. After the meeting people's schedules can disconnect and it could take days to answer a simple question.
Schedules can disconnect? Anybody who can't walk to another cube and "connect" should be fired.
6. It keeps your team together.
Sure, when the meetings happen because of one idiot's shortcomings and it brings us together to insult the idiot. Shit, son, I think you may be on to something.
Oh, yeah, Agile. I was taught by a guy who was a certified SCRUM master and he informed us all about the joy of agile development.
He shit his pants when I called him on Dijkstra's algorithm and he didn't know, so I had to go to the whiteboard and draw it out to the class because he couldn't.
It was a software engineering class, and I was the only one who turned in an actual project, and not some Microsoft Paint mockup.
It's curious that they mention the military first doing stand-up meetings - when i was in the military, you stood up only when you were about to fall asleep, but that's all that needs to be said about that.
In the civilian world, if you have meetings every day, it's because your boss or some other important idiot is a bottleneck in the process and they need daily reinforcement of common sense, at the expense of department productivity.
It's a shame that you were modded down all the way to -1.
To back you up, how many pill-rolling M.D.'s do advanced organic chemistry in between putting their stethoscopes on chests or molecular pharmakokinetics in between viewing earwaxes with their otoscopes?
How many mechanical engineers use thermodynamics when they're in their cube drawing screws and hinges?
I think you hit a little too close to home all those hollow, cubicle-dwelling husks with mod points.
Speck had purchased a USB stick branded âApple iPad6 TVâ(TM) from the premises for $99, which alongside a $50 per month subscription fee purported to offer over 1100 pirate TV channels (including MTV, Discovery Channel, ESPN, CNN, HBO, Fox and the BBC), over 1000 first-release movies on-demand (including Hugo, Tin Tin and Mr Poppers Penguins), over 600 adult films and downloads of popular television programs including âThe Family Guy and âBig Bang Theoryâ(TM).
A forensic analysis of the USB stick found it offered "proxied and peer to peer access to restricted sites" hosted within China and the United States, which host several pay TV stations as well as streaming videos and other copyright materials.
This coming from the guy who grew up in L.A.'s backyard. You're a funny man.
Go try to park on Wilshire Boulevard, or go to West Hollywood where the cop cars have rainbows painted on them. (note: when I lived in L.A., the WeHo cop cars had a Pink Floyd-style rainbow design on their doors - it comes with the territory of being a boyfriend of a fag-hag). How's that for family values?
As for your three items, San Diego is probably the most conservative big city in the United States. Yet, come visit downtown SD, and I can show you all three of your items within 3 blocks of city hall.
As a Californian living in San Diego with family in the Bay Area, I dismiss the guy you are replying to as -1, naive. Parking sucks in every major city. I'm guessing that Archangel Michael grew up in Peoria, Illinois or Abilene, Texas; was somehow offered a job in San Francisco, and experienced total sensory overload when he visited.
My sister works for Columbia university, with decent pay. Think she has a car? Take a moment to answer that, Google map if you have to.
The base fine for the FIRST offense is $20 and $50 for subsequent convictions. With penalty assessments, the fine can be more than triple the base fine amount.
Californian here. Knowing people who have been caught breaking that law, even for the first time with no other offenses, you can expect to pay over $400 for that ticket in San Diego and San Bernardino counties. Just a public service announcement for you potential tourists. So slump in your seat so the cops behind you can't see, cover your phone with your hand like you're scratching your ear so the cops to your left can't see, and keep your mind on the road.
Another logical use for this technology in San Francisco could be to identify half-full mens' restrooms available for trysting.
For example, infared sensors on the toilets could ascertain which stalls are taken and which are empty. The technology to detect prolonged sitting is already in place to flag chronic masturbators at public universities. Why not sell that information in real time to scores of rich, horny homosexuals?
4/10, condescending without being offensive. Briefly going over your comment history, I suggest you stop trying to be funny. Humor is not one of your strengths.
Though I must commend you for being able to sum up Slashdot in entirety with just one post.
Here in San Diego the Chargers were threatening to move to L.A. if we didn't build them a new stadium, and they wanted the taxpayers to subsidize the stadium. Note: the Chargers haven't won a single super-bowl and got their asses handed to them(by the San Francisco 49'ers) in the one super bowl in which they played.
Note: the lowest-paid NFL players still make over $100,000 a year(the median is around $750,000) while you are feeding your kids ramen noodles because you can't find a job.
It's about fearmongering and harassing red-blooded law-abiding citizens, conditioning them to accept government intrusion into their lives, and making work for low-rent thugs while scores of teachers are being laid off.
You are the one who's trolling. Since when in history has an American football game ever been subject to a terrorist attack? Note: a drunken fan who throws a plastic cup of beer at a rival team's fan is not a "lone wolf" terrorist no matter what the government tells you.
That's me 40 years ago, but you wouldn't know it today, eh? I was in high school, I was a football star. All the girls wanted to dance with me. And I had a Diamond Viper. It was the fastest on the block.
Based on the articles (and other articles using "mind reading" for lie detection) the apparatus would have to be calibrated to each person.
So in 20 years, when the Department of Homeland Security conducts an involuntary "health and wellness" check for your residence, it would be in your best interests to think of something "out there," such as a transexual Asian prostitute shooting ping-pong balls out of her ass.
Then you could behave like Multiple Migs and toss one off in their face.
I am a nerd with a decent understanding of Linux, Windows, and OSX systems. I have tried Apple's products, and I'm thoroughly unimpressed. The action on iPods and Macs feels sluggish - there's a half-second delay between when you swipe or click the action and when the action begins to occur.
Why are Apple products slow for being on cutting-edge hardware? The only explanation is the condescending genius of Steve Jobs - it was his design decision to slow down his gadgets on purpose as if to say, "hold on a sec and get ready -- you're about to have your feeble minds blown while the fucking application launches."
