Knowit is one of those small, yet well designed and enormously useful applications- I've used it for taking notes on new subject matter. You can get it here. Once you have all your notes organized, it can export them to HTML.
When I read "stopped consuming", I'm inclined to believe that the author means a boycott. That means NO consumption- no buying, no stealing, nothing. It's a matter of picking up your marbles and going home. Game over.
One of Hutcheson's most successful technicians is the former assistant manager for a brake-check franchise. "What I loved about him was the fact that he was taking a $99 brake job and turning into a $300 ticket, and the customer was still happy," he says.
I'm not sure I'd be too happy, especially if this is something that was "liked" by higher-ups. It seems to put the emphasis in the wrong place. How ironic...he starts by indicating how vulnerable he is when it comes to something like plumbing, and then uses that same kind of vulnerability to extract more money from GoC customers.
Remember the whole H1-B mess? During the dot.com boom, all the IT managers were screaming that there weren't enough skilled workers available here in the US. dot.com go boom, and suddenly there was an overabundance of tech workers who were no longer employed. Despite these conditions, IT managers start to look at outsourcing, and many take the bait, reducing staffing requirements even further. Just not 1 month ago, I saw an article claiming that there would likely be shortage of candidates working in the IT Field within the next few years.
If one chooses to pursue IT as an educational objective based on current, observable market conditions, and then Big Business has another conniption, whose fault is that? I've never seen a more schizoid group..."We need more IT Workers!"..."We have too many IT Workers!"...."We're gonna have a shortage of IT Workers!"...blah blah blah...
Black & White photography is an artform unto itself. It's not like you can "unplug" black & white, and then just just "plug" color in its place and get the same results. Good black and white images are very rich in detail and contrast, and that contrast can lend itself to a much more dramatic image. Color will never match this quality.
In many cases, before the manager ever gets to see a candidate, they are screened by either a recruiter, or an in-house HR department. This probably isn't true for smaller companies, but for the larger ones, "Skills" is the only way they know how to evaluate a prospective candidate.
Finally, if bigger heads really implied greater intelligence, wouldn't you expect offensive linemen on professional football teams to be some of the most intelligent people in the U.S.?
I'd expect most of our politicians to be geniuses.
April 2001 - March 2005 Security Administrator, CardSystems, Inc.
- Responsible for maintaining all aspects of security - Limited recent security breach to a mere 40 million cardholder accounts, out of a possible 200 million- an 80% reduction, - Worked closely with team members to monitor and ensure transaction integrity- we successfully prevented 99% of the methods known to pose substantial risk. - Provided off-site backup services for our clients, preventing catastrophic loss due to irrecoverable system malfunction.
Is anyone actually going to sit there and tell me in all seriousness that their primary source of news and info on 9/11 was somebody's blog?
Not me at least. I see blogs as an excellent vehicle, though, for issues that require "groundswell"- involvement or reaction on the part of the community. I think this is at least one aspect of blogs that worry entrenched interests - like politicians. A well-written, well-researched blog is great for staying in touch with an issue, garnering support from concerned readers, and initiating corrective action.
Along these same lines, they can be a valuable resource for "after-the-fact" tidbits that might be overlooked, or simply omitted from Big Media.
I have liked Gentoo since the day I got through the stage 1 install. To be sure, there are some aspects of it that could stand to be improved, but that's true for ANY distro. I've never had, nor have I heard of anyone having such a 'meltdown'.
I think Robbins did an awesome job. I just wish it was some other company besides Microsoft.
Take an idea and using it yourself is a cornerstone of capitalism in a free market. Most unfortunately, we are now saddled with this governmental dung pile we've come to know as softawre patents. What this means is very simple...you can no longer take an idea and use it yourself, as you stand a good chance of violating one or more patents.
Case in point...Let's say that there was a particular aspect of digital painting that you wanted to focus on. You wanted to develop software that addressed this one aspect so that users wouldn't have to saddle themselves with an 800lb gorilla just to get this one type of functionality. Well, too bad. Users don't have much choice any more, since they're pretty much forced to deal with the one entity that holds a patent on a software methodology that does what you're after.
There's a lot of stuff related to graphics that probably wouldn't survive a patent challenge, since a lot of it has been around quite a bit longer than then patent insanity. However. I don't expect this to last long - little by little, companies will find ways to lock in their precious little software patents, while locking everyone else out of any real semblance of choice.
People complain about an hour's wait to participate in the democratic process(only once every few years, mind you), while they won't utter a peep about waiting in line for [insert favorite entertainment]. It goes to show how skewed American values really are. A FULL HOUR! OMG!!
And this is nothing new really- it's also up to them to make sure that their wage is reasonable. However, given any chance to increase their annual income, job performance notwithstanding, they'll take it. Oh...and this isn't too much different from the endlessly-promised, never-delivered campaign finance reform. As along as elected politicians are going to benefit from it (even if it taints the system), there's little motivation to change it. That's also why I think we should place more emphasis on electing leaders, instead of politicians- and imposing term limits.
Stir up the hornet's nest even more by invading a country with imaginary weapons, at a significant cost of human life(our own citizens mind you), all while creating a new hotbed of terrorism, and a new excuse that terrorists can use to justify their actions.
It doesn't seem like a reasonably stance to think that you can fan the flames of hatred with impunity. Eventually, it will catch up.
I was watching a Sunday news show where someone claimed that the US has, by default, become the "world police." Think about that- there are some very serious implications here.

Where's the logic in extending the copyright 70 years past the author's life? This seems like the other extreme.

What if it's an unexpected package? From an estate attorney? That could easily be a serendipitous event.

Jobs want to call the original mac "Bicycle". Tell me that wasn't acid-induced.
Want a good laugh? Look through the listings for IT-related work on any job site...notice how many of them require a four-year degree.

While its work is focused on animation, its mind and soul are focused on your wallet. This is where it begins and ends with Disney. Money.
I've been working with struts as of late, and although setting things up can be a little tedious, what specifically don't you like about it?
Any of Dubya's speeches, for example.

a.k.a. You wish.
All I can say is, "oops". I did actually read it, but quite obviously didn't pay much attention to what I was reading. : )
I wonder if all of those fans are blowing outward...if so, it wouldn't be surprising that the results weren't any better.

Wouldn't it be better if they just wiped everything and started from scratch?
