Agreed 100% There is never time to do it right, but there is always time to do it over. Reviews that admit success, but celebrate weakness are not positive experiences. There is another trend of third parties marketing infrastructure solutions to high level management, skipping local subject matter experts. This triples the work we have to do. change is fine, and embraced, but we are paid for something. Provide stability and compliance in a rapidly evolving globalized environment.
Its business. Not Sport. Business. Would be interesting to consider the sum of salaries and expenses to the revenue derived from tickets and broadcast.
Too often, the ocean is seen as an infinite resource that we are free to plunder at will, and to absorb our garbage with no consequence. How can we get people to respect the ocean as a huge part of the canvas that supports our life directly? How to balance the pursuits of fishing against the need to maintain a breed stock? One day we may realize that the perfect net does not catch all the fish, but thats still a ways off, it seems.
Digital platforms are the way of communication these days.... after 30 years of being a Keyboard jockey, my handwriting has suffered. But... the process of writing is antiquating, unless you are a carpenter or somesuch. Being able to concoct a document, and review / send/ print / post / submit etc... good stuff. I don't buy the tablet craze, rather the Chromebook/netbook that make sense. We have to compete in global market place... . to keep current, gotta keep kids in the game.
Ive used everything from Blackberries to big smartphones to tablets to netbooks to notebooks to laptops to desktops. Most of us/. ers have.
The Phone format is good for texting, quick snapshots. Netbooks/notebooks are pretty portable and desktops are solid and can be made into what is needed..
Tablets are sexy and spiffy, but they don't have a good feel for doing what you could get done on a SMartphone or something with a keyboard.
people look silly taking pics or movies with Tablets.
My Wifes tablet has a bluetooth kb, so its small and light... but a 13-15" net/lap seems optimal for many things... add a big monitor to a laptop and you have a big screen.... not too bad.... 17" laptop is too big...
Cell phone + 15" netbook/laptop and Desktop covers me.
Maybe I am hold ing the tablet wrong? My main frustration!
But that is just me... a member of the dead tree generation!....
The managed monopolies have caused stagnation in service to the end customer, with steadily rising costs. Thats the rub in any monopoly. Why is this permitted? Do we need to start a class action suit to get some competition back in telecom? What is the metric we need to review to show how far behind the US is behind Rest-of-World in this space? This sort of cronyism/protectionism can't be tolerated.
Would a square mile of seawater with no scraps of floating plastic harbor more life than a square mile of seawater with a 10' layer of plastic debris? While it does not seem.. ahh.. traditional, maybe that would be a silver lining. Doesn't make sense to use a plastic utensil for 10 minutes and then relegate it to 100 year of status as trash... The world is not that big... Plus... not every experience with plastic is bad. Put it another way.. We have huge volumes of Non Biodegradable plastic crap in the ocean... What can we do to make it a positive? Its already happened.
Hate to say it, but the autonomous vehicle folks should seriously confer with the legal profession to ensure that the devices that they make / retrofit will be not fully depleted by the gamers that love to make money off folks with deep pocketses. The number of DWI's will decrease, and the number of sleepy driver issues should fall.There will be some considerations, as the responsible party shifts from John Doe to the Corporate Programmer.
Is there any real evidence that a wormhole would actually pass anything to a remote location, or is that just a writers fantasy?
Usually travel does not include being disassembled to your constituent parts midway. OK. Call me a doubter!
Sounds like the problem with Newark schools are the folks that -HAD- a great opportunity to make things better, but
diverted it into each others pockets rather than into programs that actually increased the chances that the students would prosper?
Is this a small scale version of municipal budgets and quest for opinion and appearance rather than results? I mean.. publicity and appearance over real change?
In the 80's and 90's there was linkage between apps and OS.. and the Juju was strong. Monopoly resulted. Now in the new era, platform is irrelevant. Same data and capability needs to be made available on all platforms where practical. The Juju pops back up though in places like HealthVault (championed by an outfit that is losing its monopoly) where a subset of functionality is available to non windows users. (yeah.. I was irritated!) Have we reached a point where we should be free of linkage between applications and platform? Lets hope that the app developers (free and closed) can provide value with software quality, rather than platform linkage.
Why should we glorify the process of bilking the system, and manufacturing ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H sucking money out of the stream? The process adds nothing, not to the company or the people or the products. We have been glorifying the gamers for.. a long long time. I recall a visit to a museum in my home town when I was 10 where they had a wampum mill on display that drilled Clam shells to make fake Lene Lenape Indian currency. It struck me wrong then too.
The new genius is going to be separating Fact from Falsehood from Opinion.... Facts are shared absolutely. Falsehood is downplayed, and Opinion is held personal. Now... Legislation should be based on Only one... Facts.. shared realities ! Guidance can be offered for opnions?
Good thoughts... The mix of hype (positive and negative) around non-pharmaceutical is its own worst enemy. The worlds NIH's could do well for their (all!) people by making these into real studies. Evidence based approach would be invaluable. Not sure if Pharma would appreciate that, but that might be a downside of money based realities.
The common thread here is that Multinational companies are saying "get a degree" but opportunistically seek the "same work" from international sources instead. How can anyone afford to repay the loans when the cost of life in a metropolitan area is so high?
Very often we admins have to make all kinds of hacks to get OpenSSH to support Chroot and ScpOnly. Would it be possible to make it simpler for these features to be added/configured without third party tools? OpenSSH is a foundational package, and making it easier to add these features would make it all that much better. Would be great to stick to your source 100%!! Thanks for your many contributions!
An employer needs to have staff to setup,maintain,improve services to others and to itself. It benefits from a motivated workforce, but is obsessed with cutting costs over increasing efficiency. An Employee needs to have a job to allow him to be a consumer at the store, a parent to the next generation and so much more... an element of local society. He/She provides time to the employer who needs to use that resource efficiently as possible for yesterdays, todays and tomorrows challenges. Fast forward to today. The employer is obsessed with cutting costs, and loses sight of efficiency and productivity goals and only presses their employees to pass on their knowledge to lower paid workers, with the illusion of promotions and advances at the workplace. Is it best then for an employee to quicklly and efficiently train someone where the wages are rising, and not require the local employee to be productive? Are we doomed by leadership that does not seek productivity and efficiency over cost and global exposure? Too often we end up withtoo many managers and no one to guide coherent policies, consistent methodologies, and in short a sane working environment. Real work is not appreciated, and, as such its getting done less frequently. Rush a project get a promotion, leave a stinky turd in the wake for others to suffer. Bitter? Yeah.. we still have the same challenges as 20 years ago. It was 1970 that we went to the moon. What have we done lately?
The thought that the public should have -any- exposure to this debt (via FDIC or similar ) is ridiculous.
Bitcoin is by its very nature outside the establishment. When it fails/falls should it just disappear as invisibly?
If the public has to bail it out, substantial measures would need to be put in place to provide transparency, which would be completely at odds to the secrecy/privacy crucial to Bitcoin.
This sounds alot like the trend in the US markets to favor private benefit and public exposure to financial risk.... This has to stop.

Dear MtGox Customers,
In light of recent news reports and the potential repercussions on MtGox's operations and the market, a decision was taken to close all transactions for the time being in order to protect the site and our users. We will be closely monitoring the situation and will react accordingly.
Best regards,
MtGox Team
In a greater Northeast US metro area, the cost of living is pretty high. When the employers for large multinational companies compare the cost of the salaries to keep a presence in this area, to a data center elsewhere on the planet, IT folks look like overhead. Our value add is not usually appreciated, and our opinions are often ignored. Efficiency is never a consideration, and our fate is not looking bright. When taxes are $15K/year, and things like TV/Inet/Phone are $220 per month, (etc...) our salaries evaporate pretty quickly. I drive a 10 year old pickup, and my wife has a 10 year old SUV too, so we do keep vanity in check. Having a can-do and will-do attitude has its costs, but not to my employer directly. Is the fix to move to a rural area, where costs are lower? This cuts down on the face to face contact with customers which has been essential to proper service.

On my Android, the first letter of every word gets capitalized on many sites .. Whats up with that? Is that client side or server side nonsense?
