Nope. If it's not in an area relevant to the kinds of jobs he's been applying for, that PhD might as well be in philosophy. Most employers are cheapskate dirt bags. They're already trying to undercut you with outsourcing and H1-Bs. You need to demonstrate that you're going to be valuable to them and a good value.
Having an overpriced degree undermines that. They don't care about your extra brownie points. They certainly don't want to pay extra for them.
There is also such a thing as being overqualified.
The whole "they resent my brilliance" attitude is a clear manifestation of this.
If you are whining about US taxation rates you are clearly a poser that has never had any actual experience with this stuff. The US tax code specifically panders to corporations. The nominal rates are a pure fiction to distract ignorant RV dwelling GOP supporters.
Not quite. In 1981 there was already a microprocessor that could address 16M of RAM and used a flat relocatable address space. This microprocessor was used in a CONSUMER microcomputer only 3 short years later.
640k was not "supercomputer" territory by any stretch of the imagination.
That was the domain of mini-computers and that concept had already been shrunk to the size of a single integrated circuit.
There was already plenty of writing on the wall in 1981. You just have to bother to actually look for it (then or now).
> I don't know that dropping bombs and launching missiles would be an effective response against a plague of locusts either.
This plague of locusts captured our equipment when the Iraqi army folded like a deck of cards. If nothing else, we need to destroy that equipment and deny the enemy use of it.
This works for every ism out there. That's why the "no true scottsman" fallacy is such a fallacy. You can only ever judge something by what it produces. This includes the battle of Tours, the siege of Vienna, and ISIL.
They are "muslim enough" to take and hold half of Syria and half of Iraq without being ejected from either by the native population.
That's funny because Tyson is one of those people that spews this "Science equals Truth" nonsense. I want to throw things whenever I see someone on Facebook repost his nonsense.
Science is today's best guess.
"Truth" is for people that like to spend all day in church.
If streaming video is a problem for ANY one then it should be a problem for EVERY one. That's the basic idea of equality being fought about here. A natural monopoly should not be able to abuse it's position to sabotage competitors in different markets. This is also basic anti-trust.
The entire issue only exists because we tolerate (if not actively encourage) monopolies.
>> Funny you should say that. Also how is that any different from registered mail or any other method where it's guaranteed that a message was sent.
> There's no proof that they were communicated with by merely posting to f.b.
With registered mail, there is proof. That proof is physical and is mailed back to you and is suitable for 3rd party verification. You can actually verify that the person that signed for it is the individual in question.
NONE of that exists for Facebook.
Posting something on Facebook is only vaguely like publishing it in the local newspaper (also bogus).
SystemD and Upstart are both more complex and easier to screw up. That right there is enough good reason to stay well enough away.
if you want to redo the plumbing under the foundation, you first need to give good reason why the foundation needs ripped up. You don't get to do random nonsense and then explain yourself later.
No. It means that the spirit of Teddy Rosevelt needs to come along and whack them with a really big stick so that they can't abuse everyone and distort the market.
Bragging that your pet brand can act like an abusive monopoly is nothing to be proud of. It's blatantly anti-social.
...and both of those look like they need to be broken out into a number of distinct questions. Every comma and "or" muddles the resulting data.
Although I've been part of the phone survey racket. So I know all about how these things can be distorted to suit the agenda of the company paying for the study.
No. It's a recurring problem in these discussions because radical feminists will redefine terms. So it's hard to know at any one time whose definition you are dealing with. Are you dealing with something sane or are you dealing with something that's been "trumped up" in order to push an agenda?
You can't trust any random study to be free from such biases.
Then you end up with the basic magnitude problems that occur when dire claims fail to meet basic sanity with respect to numeracy.
If you're actually numerate, some of these claims are just incredible on their face.
I don't think most of the people pushing them fully understand the implications.
Women are more likely to be the subject of a sexual advance because men are expected to initiate courtship. Differing social expectations and indoctrination will dictate that women find any advances more objectionable then would men regardless of the level of genuine menace the represent.
There was some feminazi that went on a tear because some guy had the audacity to hit on her. Then she whined when the corresponding community luminaries pointed out that she was being a hysterical idiot. The whole situation was portrayed as proof that "X community is mysoginistic".
It was all a load of mindless victimology.
There can be a wide gap between how a bunch of extremist crusaders define a term and how the rest of us define it.
These DRM laden video formats aren't any less crapulent on Windows. Unfortunately they aren't just used for video but also for basic site navigation. So you get a pervasive level of crapulence even with Windows.
It's not just a Linux problem.
Windows users perhaps just suffer from a certain level of "muggle numbness".
You only have to rip something once. You don't even have to do the ripping yourself. Someone else can do it for you.
DRM on a BluRay is only slightly more of a nuissance than the DRM on a DVD. Both are well cracked formats with lots of suitable tools that are readily available.
That particular battle was lost a long time ago.
Now this new format will remain intact only so long as no one cares about it. As soon as it becomes relevant, it will get cracked. Admittedly, obscurity is one thing Apple may have going for them here.
Yes. SSH has it's difficulties in this use case but it's the best of a bad lot. ALL of the other options simply require FAR too many resources. SSH is the only feasible remote support option here.
No. The Sobieski room in the Vatican Museum is the real fuel that drives interventions. There is a long history here that people are ignorant of or refuse to acknowledge.
No. It's the liberal bleeding hearts that really trivialize the non-white races. They frame them as nothing but passive victims because that's what liberals do. They defame all manner of foreign nations and cultures.
I suspect the leadership of ISIS ironically enough understands the relevant history here better than you do.
> You mean.... gasp!... PostgresSQL isn't a shell script pipelining a bunch of sed/awk/grep/mv/cp commands?
In terms of the larger systems that it is integrated with, that is EXACTLY what it is. It is a highly specialized application that does one thing well and leaves the scope creep for other programs that consume it's services.
It may even be broken down into a lot of highly specialized background processes like Oracle.
This leads to a Windows style boot process where things might not even be ready when they are needed. I see this with one of my more complex Ubuntu boxes. It HALTS the boot process. Now I have to find a way to manually repair that so that box can boot on it's own without human intervention.
So you have this mindless following of the Windows mentality where it doesn't matter so much if the machine is useful. It just needs to appear to be useful for marketing purposes.
"Booting fast" is a pretty low priority item to trash a core system process over.
It doesn't even need to be "crashing". It could simply be "user error" incurred because the system is more complex, more difficult to deal with, and new and interesting "user driven" failure cases have been added.
Upstart is a real peach in that regard. I've blown my toe of with it already. If SystemD is anything like that, no thanks..

That money is "well worth it" only if it generates some marginal improvement. That marginal improvement is deeply in dispute.
Mindlessly throwing money at a problem is of ZERO value.

Nonsense.
I am sure that Netflix is more than willing to BRAG about how many Canadian customers it has, or how many customers it has in ANY country.

Yes. That was Dawkins that rightfully noted that you lot are complaining about 1st world non-problems.
You will take a situation that's not the least bit sinister and distort it until seems to be something entirely else.
That's why no one can trust any stories like these.
Radical feminists have hijacked the debate and the language.
