Like, "Unleaded Gas Only" just to make it visible to the idiot consumer what he or she is buying. "Runs Anything!" or "Runs Linux!" are optional, of course.
I know, silly idea, but sometimes I feel that this world is rather silly as well. Forcing a machine in hardware to only run Windows, for example.
I hope this is put on public display. Take one lot at that, and then you will really understand what it means for your country to have debts of trillions.
Display boards with lots of digits just don't get the message across.
"See that there big 'ole coin? That's what a Wall Street Banker got as a bonus, after the 'guvment bailed out his bank.
Former IBMer Bob Moffat, who was head of the Systems & Technology Group, was being groomed for the top job. But he got himself involved in an insider trading ring. Not for personal profit, but some careless chit-chat at a dinner party about Sun's finances, which IBM was considering to buy at the time.
So he got canned, and rightly so. If you are smart enough for the top job, you'd better be smart enough to watch what you say. Ginni will be subject to all sorts of scrutiny by the press in he coming months. IBM has probably already checked to see what she has under her fingernails.
... use Google to find out what the folks there buy with their credit cards. KKK hoods? Anti-vaccination literature? Cannibalism Club Dues? Schizophrenia self-help books? Crack house paraphernalia? See what they've got under their fingernails . . .
Real Estate Agent: "Oh, it's a nice neighborhood, with pleasant people!"
You: "And they seem to spend a lot of money on books about how to annoy and sue their neighbors. And which one bought the cat skinning machine?"
Sure, it's a start, and it's cool . . . but I would have been more amused if they had build a massively parallel array of Slinkys instead. Maybe a Buckyball shaped scary looking thingie with cameras and minimal remote direction control.
With a shell shortage, hermit crabs around the world are being forced to stick their butts into bottles, shotgun shells, and anything else they can find.
I keep tellin' them pesky neighborhood ranch association folks that it ain't no trash in my front yard. That there's a Hermit Crab Sanctuary.
And them crabs keeps their kids off my lawn.
At least I think there's still a lawn down there below the trash.
Earthbound junkyards work, because there's lots of interchangeable parts that can be harvested from old cars. Can the same be said of satellites, or are they made of one-time built to order parts? Also, it's one thing for a junkyard part in your car to crap out on the road. Do you want to trust satellites in orbit with used parts? Oh, just stop by the orbital junkyard, for a new used part . . .
Debtors are "it" and have to tag the debt on non-debtors. Banks fail? Well, people who save money can pay more taxes have to bail them out. People with lot's of debt get tax breaks, and don't have any money anyway. So anyone with visible money ends up paying for those in debt.
So my advice is, dig yourself as deep into debt as the silly financial system helps you to. You will never have to pay for it. Someone with no debt will.
As the economist John Maynard Keynes said, "If I owe the bank 100 pounds, I have a problem. If I owe the bank 100,000 pounds, the bank has a problem."
Oh, and for US students with too much loan debt, that would be deducted from your paycheck? Flee the country, for the off-world colonies.
If you don't have a "a comfortable, ergonomic, efficient work environment" at home . . . then you have other problems.
Most employers won't cough up the bucks for ergonomic stuff anyways. They read "ergonomic" as "expensive" . . . which it usually is. But you have a free open range at home.
Hmmm . . . let's take a retrospective on the/. stories on German technology this week . . . a government spyware Trojan . . . wireless controlled bicycle brakes . . . and the throwable panorama ball. Put that all together . . . and you get . . . ?
I'm not sure yet, but we should keep a sharp eye on this tech coming out of Germany. They are definitely up to something.
It depends on the product and project that you are developing.
Research Prototype? Two developers? Quality not an issue? Need to be done as soon as possible for a demo? Maybe vi and make are all you need. The error reporting system can be post-its on a wall.
Long Term Product? Supporting multiple customers on multiple platforms? Man-rated? Well, you had better have all the doo-hickeys then.
I've seen both these methods work, and all types of mixes in between. Like I said, it depends on your product and project, there is no norm.
Since frequent flyers generate lots of revenue for an airline, those are the people they want to save first. To guarantee future revenue flow. Frequent flyers are worth more to the airline, it's as simple as that.

German culture is very old . . . but THAT old? Old like dinosaurs?
"Hey, who y'all callin' my kin-folk dinosaurs!?"
Is it really dinosaur skin that they found? Or dinosaur Lederhosen?

Propofol is better. It causes death; regardless of what music you're listening to. You`re dead, Jim. You can't get any more relaxed than that.
