California only recently recognized certain computer professionals as being exempt from overtime pay. In September 2000, California created an overtime exemption for computer professionals, one which is more stringent than the federal standard-and, accordingly, California employers must follow the state standard. Many states do not have such a standard, despite the nation-wide explosion in technology positions!
In California, a computer professional is exempt from overtime pay if he/she is primarily engaged in work that is intellectual or creative, requires the exercise of discretion and independent judgment, and is highly skilled and proficient in the theoretical and practical application of highly specialized information/computer systems analysis, programming, and software engineering. The primary duties of the employee must consist of at least one of the following
* The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures including consulting with users to determine hardware, software, or system specifications.
* The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing, or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications.
* The documentation, testing, creation, or modification of computer programs related to the design of software or hardware for computer operating systems.
* Lastly, the employee must be paid at least $41 per hour. This does not translate to a corresponding annual or monthly salary; exempt computer professionals must be paid hourly. For example, if the employee works ten hours in a day, he/she must be paid at least $41 for those ten hours-but the employer doesn't have to pay overtime for the "additional" two hours.

Higher octane has one use and one use only, that being to allow an engine to run higher compression/more advanced spark timing without pre-ignition (detonating/pinging).
Gee- I bought this machine over a year ago when it was called a Fujitsu P2040. Yesh, there are some minor differences but as the parent linked, the new P5000 series from them is the latest.
I paid $1300 back then, and am typing on it right now...:)
a) Opera *is* free with an ad-banner. Want the ad-banner to go away? then you pay your $29
b) Opera most certianly has a mail client(M2), and a good one too...
Personally- I've been around every browser on most platforms for a LONG LONG time- and I'm telling you- Opera7 is *the* reason I was finally able to switch to Linux on my weak Crusoe-powered laptop. Mozilla DRAGGED. Phoenix DRAGGED. Opera7 responds as quickly as IE- I shit you not.
Also- I've been using it at work as my primary browser for ~6months now- and I LOVE it.
People pay for Linux distros for only 3 reasons: 1) They feel a philisophical duty to do so 2) They are paying for a more convenient distribution media (CD vs Download) 3) They actually are *not* paying for Linux, but are in fact paying for the associated support and packaging. (See Redhat)
The fact still remains- attacking the GPL based on it's "cant charge for the product itself" nature is still entirely valid, because *nobody* will pay for it. (unless they feel charitable; as in reason #1)
And as for the GPL, source code is defined as: "The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it."
That's a *very* arbitrary definition, which renders it utterly meaningless. Suppose I code in binary, and it's my preferred method of making changes.
Great- now what are you gonna go do with my "source code"?
But readability isn't the issue here- once you have your own style, your code becomes readily readable. It's more that with Perl there are many many different ways to do the same thing. Python does not suffer form this. So while absolute "readability" can't really be argued too much- the issue comes in to play when you have to look at *somebody else's* Perl code, and they do something differently than you do it yourself.
My personal opinion is that if you're using threading you *will* be taking care of the associated protection and locking. There's no reason the interpreter itself can't use this as well. (The concept I mean)
Nobody is going to voluntarily pay for something they can get for free.
And besides, you're wrong- BSD-licensed code can never be "made proprietary". However, modifications to it can be.
The GPL is worthless anyway- "Sure, here's my source code- of course, it only works with my custom interpreter that I will sell you for $995." The road down describing "source code" and "human readable" is a very long one indeed...
In addition- Diebold was responsible for the "hold the cash door open after taking money and the ATM resets on the error; without completing the money transaction" issue.
It looked like they shot the foam out of a shotgun- it was moving so fast that you couldn't even see it. Just a *BANG* then theres a big hole in the wing.
This was NOT the same kind of impact caused by the "casually falling" piece of foam as seen in the video of the actual Columbia launch...
Really- I've been around the browsers for a LONG time.
Opera7 is the only thing that's kept me away from IE for over 6 months. AND It (along with mplayer) are the reasons I can use Linux on my laptop. Mozilla and Phoenix just never had the snappy response that IE did. Of course unde Linux IE isn't an option... so- Opera7 does it- under Windows and Linux it SCREAMS.

but can i get it from www.cheaplinuxcds.com???????
for a stellar price??????
hmmm i've used gentoo for a while now...
:P
i consider myself more a "power configurator" than a "power user"
Gee I wonder why?
We all know the Xeon is P3.5-class, dual P4s (if available) would likely urinate on the G5.
Dual Opterons would likely urinate on the G5s with enough force to knock it off the table...
And I can buy a dual-proc Opteron board at Fry's TODAY.
Cmon Apple...

My homemade one made out of a large Pedigree dogfood can works better than the Cantenna.

Heheeh yeah I feel ya- my P2040 feels just about as fast as my old P3-500 notebook-
:)
:p
But hey- it can play all my movie files so thats good enough for me
Took a couple days to compile oofice and mozilla tho

wrong, it takes a very signifigant time investment to grow vegetables
if it took months to download a linux distro, then yeah- i bet you'd see a lot more of them being sold
Right- and that's why you're anonymous...

We've all heard these "more readable" comments-
But readability isn't the issue here- once you have your own style, your code becomes readily readable.
It's more that with Perl there are many many different ways to do the same thing. Python does not suffer form this.
So while absolute "readability" can't really be argued too much- the issue comes in to play when you have to look at *somebody else's* Perl code, and they do something differently than you do it yourself.
Amen indeed-
Until that happens, threading provides nothing.
My personal opinion is that if you're using threading you *will* be taking care of the associated protection and locking. There's no reason the interpreter itself can't use this as well.
(The concept I mean)
We live in the real world.

Now you can put that in your pipe and smoke it

Talk about ridiculous...

Who cares?
Vanilla Redhat 6.0?
Oh that's right- the "exploitable out of the box" version.
Anyone using that has got larger problems than Java not installing...
It's really as simple as that...

Yeah- sounds like a very trustworthy company to be dealing with
