So don't commute in a Lamborghini which you park on the street in the ghetto.
I'm in NJ, the state of obscene car insurance rates, $450/month is ridiculous. Try $3000/year if you don't bother trying to find a reasonable price and take the first thing you see.
So instead of your loan payments of $650 and insurance of $450 why not buy a $10k car and insure it at more normal rates. You don't even need to bother with any more than the minimum insurance since you can total it/have it stolen once a year and just buy another one each year and spend less money than those ridiculous numbers.
Case in point: Heroes. I just discovered this excellent fantasy show, but jumping in "mid-stream" leaves lots to be desired. I'm able to watch past episodes all the way back to season 1, in order, on my schedule.
I wouldn't have thought it possible to discover Heroes in season 3...
Season 1 was great. Season 2 was nowhere near as good, but there was that whole writer's strike making them ditch half the story so that's forgivable. Season 3, well let's just say that Season 4 better be good since you only get three strikes...
Heroes is one of those shows that makes no sense at all if you jump in the middle - probably why NBC puts so much if it up on their website.
If the backup provider get broken into (either computer wise or physically) and someone copies (or physically steals) the no-longer-a-customer's data there's going to be a world of hurt. Yes said ex-customer should have encrypted things before handing them to another party anyway but that won't matter.
Safest option is to purge the data once you have a "cancel account" request. You don't want to purge the data because they are a day late on paying, but once you have the "we are cancelling the service" notice, bye-bye data.
Better a grumpy ex-customer who is being unreasonable, then a grumpy ex-customer being reasonable and suing.
If the idiotic news networks can't help but make a guess and announce it as reality then don't publish any counts until everything is counted. Then let them announce their guess.
If you get riots you'll only have them a couple of times before no one believes the news networks anyway.
I do remember working on a heat exchanger that filled half a room back in engineering "lab", And crushing concrete blocks and bending steel rods in the materials lab back at university.
And a generation of scientists who have never done a real experiment seems a good way to kill scientific progress.
Or maybe "virtual" doesn't mean what I interpreted it as.
Homeland security would be interested in the magical technique they have for telling apart a US Citizen, a Legal Resident, and an Illegal Alien given they all have US mailing addresses, credit cards, an so on...
OK, I have an old payslip in front of me (was just tax time...).
For that month:
Gross: $9800 Net: $6139
net is after the taxes (social security, medicare, state, federal, whatever the little extras are) and health insurance. It still includes retirement contributions (so I see about $900 less in the bank).
I happen to be in a place where public transport works fine (NYC) and is pretty cheap, so that's probably a wash.
So how much would $9800 gross end up take home in Norway?

My commute is 5 seconds by foot, and 3 minutes by car.

"Fine. Whatever. I'll revert it, assholes." - what a great way to resolve the bug.
He basically told everyone "if you want something changed just bother me enough and I'll give in".
That's going to make him the most productive developer ever!
So "no matter what" means "as long as it is still the best". OK then.
Shit man, who is your dealer and where do I find him?
Bizarre, if something better came along you would keep using the google??? Even if the new thing was better in *all* aspects?
How did you manage to switch to google in the first place?
No shit! You mean wine isn't the same the whisky?
Who knew???
And I want to pay $1.23 for 700 channels and "hi-speed" internet.
Doesn't means it's anywhere near realistic.

All that damn hugging, that's what that is.
Easy peasy then, just don't reduce it while the economy shrinks 15% and bingo bango there you are 3% with no effort at all.

I was sure no human could be that stupid. Oh well, thanks slashdot for further eroding my faith in humanity.
But there's liability with data.

But how much value does your job (when you aren't crimping cables) bring to the company per hour?
That value plus your hourly pay needs to be more than the amount saved per hour spent crimping over just buying the things.
The "make it exactly the right length" argument seems more valid, unless you earn very little or produce very little.
That seems a remarkably stupid reason.

I wouldn't think so, it's not that uncommon for companies to have policies that company data is not to be put on non-company computers.
And everyone having different hardware would be a nightmare for IT to deal with.
Fair use is a term of art in trademark law as well.
Since this is about wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use_(U.S._trademark_law)
Or if you don't like wikipedia...
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/1115.html
b(4) is the section that is referred to as "fair use" by the Supreme Court in rulings.
Or not if the GP post was false.
Do you buy every new employee a new machine?
Or when Bob leaves does his machine get the hard drive reimaged and Bill uses it?
If so Bob's root kit survived that re image of the hard drive...
"virtual science labs" work...
I do remember working on a heat exchanger that filled half a room back in engineering "lab", And crushing concrete blocks and bending steel rods in the materials lab back at university.

And that's the problem, if it was NASA could manage it easily.
