Also the alternative that these services need WB so much that they are willing to pay licensing fees to play the songs. This would change WB's profit to $X + $Y (where Y is licensing fees).
I don't even know what music WB owns. I stopped liking the music I was being fed since high school and that is when I stopped playing their game. No music is much better than crap music.
Also doesn't state that the dissertation was finished that night, just that she spent the night typing it. Perhaps she also spend the following 10 nights typing it as well.
Same with me. The article doesn't really say whether the survey asked whether they needed disk encryption because all the data is still on the servers, not the laptop / home computer. I don't have a USB thumb drive at home, so should I have to encrypt it? No, so I'm part of that 91%?
And to connect to my work VPN, it is as simple as logged into a web site (with my RSA key) and it does the VPN connection. Normal users from there get access to their web sites that they normally use. But I use my RDP, VNC, SSH to wherever I need to go.
In short: Don't rest on your laurels. They would probably be saying they are trying to be perfectionists, but there is a time where it is a little harmful (upgrading engines and scratching everything, etc).
After reading the article, I'd have to say he should just go home. You give your best programmer the task to help a customer and he agrees. Then go home and don't bug him 5+ times a day/night about the job and the progress even though you can't help him. I'd rather get a bigger bonus rather than pizza and a couple compliments the next day.
I rarely work over time as the net benefit over a long time isn't worth it. You get burnt out, can't use the comp time and start producing shittier work as time goes by.
GS 12 starts at $59383.
GS 14 starts at $83445.
If you were in San Francisco at GS 14, then you'd make $112108 at step 1.

I don't recall being taught that concept.
I just thought about it logically and it made sense. (Plus trying a few examples to confirm it).
Maybe some teacher mentioned it, but by that point it was already obvious.
Math seems to take me a long time because I never remember the tricks everyone was taught in school. I always do it the long way, but at least I remember my calculus after not touching it in over a decade.
When I read the summary, I was picturing them with pitchforks.
Then they said they were affluent and I couldn't picture an angry rich mob with pitchforks... damn.
Except that it is not ready for use beyond benchmark and review.
I tried it and like it. It is still missing removal of snapshots though. Without that, you will ultimately end up with a full disk.
If you work 7 days a week for 10 hour days, you will get 2 hours of overtime for the first 4 days.
The fifth and sixth day are all overtime. Seventh day, first 8 hours are overtime and last 2 hours are double time.
Total of 36 hours overtime and 2 hours doubletime.
Sometimes the system works against you if you work the last 6 days of the work week and the first 6 days of the following work week (therefore 12 days straight, but not seven consecutive days in a work week).
They state their source along with the data. At least for Steve Jobs, it lists when he was born.
It doesn't look like their data gathering algorithm can process that into an age though.
I am so happy that my motorola is charged by USB and I can hook it up to my computer, and copy files back and forth with the bluetooth.
This is one thing I wished the Japanese phones started doing.
Having one cable that can plug into any of my devices is great when traveling.
I guess his prediction was guessing how long it would take for the world to catch up to Japan?

Well, with my cellphone, I have trouble getting a signal in my parent's city, which isn't far from San Francisco. I am lucky if I get 1 bar long enough to listen to my voice mail from a call that didn't even ring because I had no bars a few seconds before.
This one is obvious:
"Individuals primarily use portable computers, which have become dramatically lighter and thinner than the notebook computers of ten years earlier. "
Am I supposed to think that they just get bigger and bigger after 10 years?
"Computers routinely include wireless technology to plug into the ever-present worldwide network, providing reliable, instantly available, very-high-bandwidth communication."
Wrong, we don't have ever-present worldwide network. Even finding 'hot-spots' are hard.
"Communication between components, such as pointing devices, microphones, displays, printers, and the occasional keyboard, uses short-distance wireless technology."
Mouse/keyboard is about it. Display won't be wireless.
"Government agencies, however, continue to have the right to gain access to people's files, which has resulted in the popularity of unbreakable encryption technologies."
Umm, I guess they still have access if they have a warrant.
I don't see your average person using encryption, let alone 'unbreakable' type.
The only thing he got right is the obvious one. They rest are off. Making a 10-year prediction isn't very fun anyway. 20-year or longer predictions are great, especially if they include flying personal transportation.
If so, thank you! I can't stand a group of 9 people talking to each other and competing to be heard.
maybe they had no baggage,
What is so suspicious about this? Maybe they already checked it. Maybe they decided they'd save $15 x 9 (x 2 for both ways) and go to their destination bag-less. I do this if I want to save some time getting on and off the plane.
Over-paranoia by others is probably what got them kicked off the plane.
I remember filling out a VTA questioneer about what they should prioritize with their spending and I put traffic signal synchronization as #1 priority for me.
I am not sure who reads that in the end and what affect it has.
Maybe you can email some of the people in the Group 2 section VTA board and see if you get any positive response.
I usually don't even have enough luck to make it 2 signals before hitting a red light. I can hit it every single time.
Going through S.F. on a medium traffic time, on the other hand, I usually can get through the whole city stopping 3-4 times.
I don't see why parent was marked funny. I think the answer to that question is important.
If they are mixing CRT and LCD in their experiment and concluding it has to do with fps (which makes sense for a movie projector... but not a TV), then I think they need to do better research about how they are going to research.
No, it is slightly different.
GP is saying that the kernel kills the process.
GGP is saying that the application crashes because it can't allocate memory.
The kernel can kill the process when memory is just slow, but not completely empty and I think that is evil (it may kill an application I need to run in order to let another application get memory). I only saw this with RHEL5, and am not certain how old this feature is.
The system usually doesn't crash, but applications do and hard.
I blame the applications for always assuming there will be memory.
I run my WinXP in a VM without swap because I don't see the point in having 2 swaps (one for windows, one for the VM). I made the mistake of running 2.NET apps with 384MB of RAM. The second one crashed itself and my IDE.

You'd probably be in a park or close to the train station if you were homeless in Japan.
Their cardboard box houses didn't look too bad either.
I'd rather end up homeless in Japan than in the US.

Hopefully the click-through counts reflect the /. reader's ability to avoid anything with "blog" or "gadget"
I just play it safe and don't read any articles.
I have. At least they were using yahoo instead of bing.
full DVI 135 pixels wide x 52 tall = 7020 pixels MiniDP 43 pixels wide x 27 tall = 1161 pixels So, yeah, 1161 / 7020 ~= 16.5% which is not 10%

California's overtime laws are pretty simple in my opinion. http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQ_overtime.htm

Put on the minimum required by the state and whatever takes the least effort.
I am sure it won't take long until they are all booting some LiveCD of linux as the easiest method around stupid restrictions.
