That does not help. Honestly a highly skilled IT guy that understand virus writing can infect all the machines with a timebomb and you would never know it. IF he did it right and inserted the time bomb into a driver there is nothing you could do to stop it.
It's called paying IT people what they are worth and running background checks. This guy would not have had a squeaky clean past if he did stupid crap like this.
Finally having enough staff so that ANY changes are done with a peer review. I.E. Update XYZ needs to be applied. Sr IT guru does not apply it himself and deploy, it MUST be reviewed by 2 others and DOCUMENTED.
But corporations have no interest in properly staffed IT departments that are paid enough to hire competent and trustworthy people... You get what you pay for.
The same age group act's like they are having Crack withdrawals when they do not have a phone at all for a 48 hour period. My daughter lost her phone on vacation in the woods and was acting like she was going to cut one of us if she did not get her fix... " I need to check my messages, give me your DAMN PHONE OR I WILL CUT YOU!"
people need to unplug more and learn how to not be a slave to the tech.
Hello? this was FOR script kiddies, it was DESIGNED for script kiddies. Script kiddies have had all along. it. Now joe schmoe script kiddie that does not have any money at all because he blows it all on Monster and Twizzlers in his mom's basement can now have
The fricking bug that makes it hang and sit (not responding) for 4-12 seconds at a time at random intervals on page loads once in a while? I am about to completely give up on it because of that. IT happens a LOT of slashdot, I would blame the poorly written CSS that slashdot uses (still get the jump to the top of page when you click on the commend dialog text box once in a while as well) but I've see it on Cisco.com as well as motorola.com
When you do a company wide deployment you modify an existing distro. The one I used to maintain for AT&T Cable was based on RedHat but it was not redhat by the time we got done with it adding our special parts.
So yes, whoever is in charge of the In house Distro will care greatly about the kernel.
"1) Where do you get all the dense mass to protect you from hard cosmic radiation? 2) How do you protect the elevator from all that crap whizzing around Jupiter? 3) What do you build the ship with? 4) How do you provision it, etc, etc, etc?"
1 - Congress. It seems that the members of congress are so dense that grinding them up and using them as radiation shielding will work better than anything else we have here on the planet.
2 - pass laws making it illegal.... DUH
3 - Build it with illegal immigrants or outsource it's assembly to China or India.
4 - Provisioning is a long term plan, you obviousally dont have a degree in business management. All that matters is how things look next quarter.
I would utterly KILL to live within reasonable biking distance of work. That reasonable distance is 5 miles. something that I can make it at a leisure pace within 30 minutes and not breaking a sweat. Well I cant afford to do that because the company I work for chooses to pay the lowest possible wages to ensure highest possible profits making sure I cant afford any of the condos, apartments or homes near work within that 5 mile radius.
If businesses were paying honest wages, located themselves where the worker base lived, AND land-lords/land-owners overcharging heavily because of the excuse of " it's the price the market will tolerate" causes the situation that most workers have to commute a distance that requires the use of polluting transportation along with the fact that in the USA the corporate hostility towards mass transit making sure that light rail and other systems to remove the need for single cars to be driven to the workplace exist. It is why I ignore all this "carbon footprint" stuff because it is a worthless venture. If it was actually important than businesses and governments would be making it priority #1 to build infrastructure for public transportation and encourage companies to move to where the workers are as well. Also real incentives for carpooling by charging extra taxes on any vehicle that exceeds a certain threshold. IF you can afford to drive your Ford Excursion XLT alone into work 45 miles every day, then you can also afford an extra $2500 a year on your licensing costs used to fund building and operating of new mass transit systems.
But it's all moot. Everyone will bitch and moan about "carbon footprint" and do nothing about it.
I only see the 10+ year requirement for the senior positions. Honestly, you will not slide from your $120,000 a year senior developer position to senior embedded programmer.
If you are thinking you can slide over and keep all seniority, that's not how the real world works.
Also ANY programming that is like what you are doing IS experience in it. I HAD 10 years experience in embedded programming as I did Linux C and C++ programming for corporate as well as some driver design. that equals embedded programming.
I have already been using embedded python in projects.
I blatently stole the code for the python project for symbian and recompiled it for an alpha processor running on a embedded linux OS. I have a DIMM sized computer running python scripts that acts as a brain for a outdoor weather station.
So you need a motorcycle that has the equilivant of 20,000HP? or did you not actually read the article.
To create the equiliviant of 100HP of power, a power level that is the same as a damn fast motorcycle, and a level that is higher than any Harley, you would need to make it far smaller.
Also a 500 pound engine is not that big of a deal. I ride a 900 pound motorcycle and the engine+transmission weighs a little over 225 pounds. Boss Hoss motorcycles have a 650 pound chevy V8 engine on them, but only manly men ride those..

How about simply hiring more cops and getting some to get out of their car and actually walk their beat?

Quad i5 with 8gb of ram. I see it so regular that I have recently completely abandoned FF.

Actually I have bough 6 cars in that time period and 3 motorcycles... Oh and 2 houses as well.
No boats though... That's wasteful!
"First of all, wouldn't the law trump a contract?"
Corporations are trying very hard to fix that loophole.
"they usually give the artist an advance to cover costs and then recoup that money from the sales."
WITH INTEREST! You are forgetting a teeny tiny part...
have all gotten serious cases of dumbtarditis.
THIS! exactly THIS!
and Yes I have notice that it seems that almost everyone in a position of power lately have become complete retards.
Good ideas innovative ideas forward thinking... None of that exists lately. It's all changes for the sake of trendy change.
"People do not run Wow at work."
Tell that to the guys in the R&D lab. I can walk in there right now and I bet at LEAST 3 computers are currently in a raid on WoW.
"just about every car says somewhere on the dashboard and on the gas cap "Unleaded gasoline only"."
Funny, the last 4 cars I had said... "unleaded gasoline or E85 only." Even cars as old as junkers from the year 2000 have had flex fuel capability.

Building your own business General office machine machine hasn't made sense for a long time now, IMHO.
The powerhouse 8 core workstations here for the Graphics department and Video department are well worth it building them instead of buying Dell crap.
Their pricing on high end workstations are not competitive and their parts and BIOS are sub par in that realm.

Because we are more interested in policing the Middle east.
"So it's ok to waste money on NASA because "we" are wasting it elsewhere? Any other fallacies you'd like to share with us?"
Yup. your vote actually counts.
Private corporations dont own politics.
The tea party is really for preserving the rights of Americans.

It's still 900X less risky than a full on Retrorocket landing like Viking.
It's the fault of business owners and landlords.
