I worked for an 8a company on a government contract, so they took care of billing, pay, etc. Moving to a large IT government contractor had its benefits, but no bonus pay for us.
My Brother-in-Law has a Kindle. The main reason he uses it is it's a lot easier to read text on the Kindle's LCD than on a computer LCD as there is no refresh rate on the Kindle. The screen refreshes only when you turn a page, which makes it easier on the eyes than a 60Hz computer LCD display.
Also, Blio on PC, Mac, iPhone and iPod touch, but no Linux? WTF?
I haven't received a bonus in about two years. It was a $1000 check. And the only reason I got that little gift is that I MADE money for my company. One of the perks of being a contractor for a small company. Of course, that contract ended, so I went to work for a larger IT company, and haven't received a bonus since. Working directly for a company is nice, but contracting pays better.
Hey, thanks for the link! The original article that the Discovery article linked to was for subscribers to Nature and costs $35 to download?!?! Whatever. And I thought Slashdot posted old news!
All of the places where I've worked as an Admin, I gave the developers admin rights so they could install software, but only on development systems. Don't even think about giving them on production systems. Of course, I spent quite a bit of time fixing development machines due to something these folks have done, but all production systems were updated by me.
The skull was found in the early 1900s. There's been speculation about them for years. And NOW Discovery is writing about them? I think the better story to link to is about the giant snake they just found in a mine in South America. 40+ feet long, weighing in at over a ton, lived about 60 Million years ago, indicating that the temperature was significantly higher than it is now in the Equatorial Rain Forest.
I've seen one sysadmin per 70 Unix servers and one sysadmin per 30 Windows servers. That's a general guideline for SERVER systems. Desktops are another matter. I've yet to see a serious roll out of Unix desktops, so I'm going by Windows systems, but one help desk tech per 50 systems is what I've personally seen as optimal. More Windows PCs per tech and the help desk gets overwhelmed. Less than that and they sit around and play games most of the day. This is assuming that you push updates over the network, not go around and manually update each PC.
I am EXTREMELY fed up with the overuse of the holocaust by Israel apologist -- no, that your grand grand parents suffered a lot does not give you any right to do the same to innocent people -- for the same reason as I'm disgusted by this overuse of the cliché: it cheapens the tragedy.
First off, it's an atrocity. A tragedy is a baby dying in a car crash. 9/11 and the Holocaust are atrocities.
But I would suggest that next time a species is down to 30 members, get samples from ALL of them. For all they know, this last one may have had some genetic defect, and pulling DNA from her eye probably didn't help her.
There was an article a while back about why Lithium Ion batteries are not being used in cars. An oil company in the U.S. has a patent on the technology.
What's more, since Open Source software lacks any single person you could possibly sue in case things go terribly wrong, it makes sense to mistrust it a priori. OSS isn't magically secure because it is open. It still needs testing and validation if you intend to run it in any serious corporate environment.
I still hear this every once in a while. So my question is, has anyone ever sued Microsoft for loss of data/trust? Have you not read the EULA?
Nope, the engine was a Pontiac 455 with a really big Weind blower. One of the Australian Ford Falcons that was used in the movies was left abandoned in an industrial park. Some lucky bastard found it.
I'd suggest some large caliber firearms, but I don't think you'll go for that. How about a real chemistry set? Add some extras that don't come with the kit. Or an electronics kit. Or do they still make those? Bah, just buy them guns. They'll be better off when the zombies come.
Will this work for hearing? Abusing my ears with loud music and gun fire has resulted in some loss of hearing for me. Since I won't read the subscription article, does it say it works for all nerves or just the spinal stuff?
Please. I was in Korea when this came out. I had to wait for a friend to send a copy on VHS to see it, as AFKN was not showing this. Extremely disappointed.
And yet, the Soviets, er, Russians deny that they were testing anything there. Personally, I think it's a prelude to an alien attack. Their agents on Earth are beaming a signal to indicate that we here on Earth are too primitive to fight back. Well, it was nice knowing you.

Funny way to describe a girlfriend.
The question is will a government-funded internet make big-brother-ing easier?
I believe that the government (at least in the U.S.) funded the original Internet.

Who got invited? Whoopi Goldberg? Or one of the celebs on the T-Mobile Android ads?
And $530 for an unlocked phone that will last about three years? Really?

After reading the other replies here, I'd say the best bet would be NetBSD, since it's been ported to everything else.

It's China, they just throw the people off the train as they pass their station.

until this whole operation gets blocked? I might have to snag one now before BN gets wise to this.
So it seems firearms are a safer bet? Hey, they can learn physics and chemistry at the same time!
Especially for watching the hot neighbor undress. Real family fun there!

was there any singing in SCCM?
Only the theme song, which is now stuck in my head, you bastard!
