Meaning, it's been higher. Why not report that in the headline? "Techie pay still less than previously" provides a lot less reason to lower techie pay...
I bet you don't have health insurance either, I mean, you aren't sick right now so why bother?
You know, sometimes when people warn you about potential dangers, they aren't just trying to alarm you, scam you or hijack the world back into some kind of pre-industrial state. Sometimes they are trying to do you a damn favor, idiot.
My employer bought us all ScamDisk flash drives with that POS on it. Tried to put a flyer on it and take it to Kinkos for printing and the crapware wouldn't load, so the regular partition wouldn't mount, the flyer was inaccessible and my time was wasted.
Ha! Until Wendy's produces a game where Pipi Longbeard can hide in trash cans, stalk people and deliver unto them the hot and juicy, they are nowhere near as creepy as Burger King.
Also, as for hate crimes, there was already a difference in the laws. Hate crimes are by definition premeditated, and as such already carried a greater penalty.
We are talking custom in-house apps, not running DNS and a web server on the same box. I am and always have been a UNIX admin, I was taught this method, and I've seen it done in every place I've worked.
Dumb AC fanboi. Pick a better reason to dis Windows.
Each subpixel subtracts from white to give a particular color of red, green or blue. But those are added together to create any other colors. So LCDs are in essence additive, not subtractive.
You don't get the concept. It doesn't matter what the VMs are doing. The monolithic kernels can get hacked up down and sideways, and if there are no bugs in the hypervisor, the rest of the machine is still secure.
Not to put it as harshly as the AC, but you don't know what you're talking about. Are you a sysadmin of any kind? Security was never the direct reason for virtualization. Utilization was. Now, virtualization may not help with crackers, but it does help isolate configuration issues, runaway processes and things like that. Admins like to keep one app on one machine because in a production environment, we are afraid of borking things that are currently working. Virtualization lets us keep one app per virtual machine, while letting us more fully utilize our physical hardware. This cuts down on electrical and cooling bills, & frees up rackspace. Mainframes have been doing this for decades.
Bingo. Irresponsible people no longer had to live with their mistakes (nor did the rest of us.) It's also why there are fewer Democrats registering every year. At least Cornell keeps churning them out. Oh snap! Damn, it makes sense though. Happy, well adjusted people are less likely to want change. No, I'm not happy or well adjusted.
They obviously believe that anything they say is the law when it comes to content they produce. That's complete baloney. They can say whatever they want; it doesn't make it so. No, I don't think they believe that for a minute. I think they think we'll believe it though.
Call me paranoid, but I think it has to do with anthrax. Call me absurdist, but I think it has to do with SCUBA diving chimpanzees in clown costumes playing underwater violin concertos.
Now that they have their trillion-node quantum computer cluster with Strong AI they can easily detect sarcasm and insincerity, and you have surely been marked as a dissident. It's worse than that. Now they have Genuine People Personalities. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
Different hominids approach power differently. There are many different and successful strategies, and 'alpha male' is only one of many. Bonobos, pygmy chimps of South America, for instance, are lead by females, have little or no heirarchy, and use frequent and creative sex acts to mediate when tensions arise in the group.
Why, oh why can we not be more like the Bonobos?
We really don't know for sure if humans were naturally violent and hierarchal, or naturally egalitarian. We do know that before 4500 BC, one does not find fortifications, armor, or weapons that have a purely warlike purpose. One also finds no mass graves or evidence of wholesale slaughter.
One theory is that we were mostly peaceful and egalitarian at first especially in times of plenty. Then we developed agriculture and settled down. The first big drought and famine to occur after that, and we had forgotten how to just move on. We also initially had a surplus and more complex social organization that let us wage actual war for the first time. The combination of a generation of PTSD parents raising a generation of brain damaged (famine will do that) and PTSD children locked in the violent, famine oriented mode of behavior.
I've found that this theory pisses off people who are wedded to the idea of the necessity of heirarchy and social control. They want to think of humans as inherently 'bad,' and only the taming power of civilization can force us to be good. Of course, they get to be the ones who decide what good is. Because they see themselves as good and the rest of us as little better than crazy, violent animals, any amount of force is justified.
More like variable valve timing as opposed to a fixed camshaft.
I'll explain. Other species besides humans use abstraction. Parrots, for instance, understand the abstractions of color, shape, and number. The categories and levels of abstraction seem to be genetic, though. Parrots do not seem to create the abstractions of love, freedom, or justice, for instance.
Other species can't build abstractions out of abstractions. We can. We've abstracted the process of creating arbitrary abstractions out of lower level genetic abstractions already present. There is evidence of an explosion of symbolic thinking (symbolic burial, cave art, faster and faster advances in technology) that marks the advent of modern humans.
In computer terms, it's the difference between creating a fixed table and loading it with a fixed set of data, and creating an object factory that creates objects dynamically.
The concept of God (and the soul) exists because of the inherent paradox of the existence of evil. The existence of evil derives from dualistic thinking. Dualistic thinking comes from symbolic thinking. When we ate the fruit of knowledge of good and evil, we created God.
Symbolic thinking provides a huge survival advantage. Instead of using built-in or evolved categories of abstraction, we developed the ability to abstract the process of abstraction. This produced a plethora of mental symbols, but they all have to refer back to the individual top be of use, so a symbol of the individual was created. Eventually, people forgot that this was a just symbol, and started to see themselves as separate from then universe, creating the dualistic world-view.
This creates a problem. If 'it's all one' then there is no problem of evil. Shit happens, that's that. If people are separate, how is balance maintained? One must hypothesize a balancing force, in the form of either a God, or karma. This is why Buddha rejected the traditional Hindu concept of Karma and created a non-dualistic replacement.
God exists to balance the scales unbalanced by our separating ourselves from the universe. His role as enforcer for the ruling clique is a more recent development brought about by the development of mass human on human violence. But that's another story.

And this one. Where are your velociraptor entry-points?
Err, the point is moo. Like a cow's opinion. It's a moo point.

Thanks! I knew there had to be a way to get rid of U3. Now I'll actually use that flash disk.

U3 Developers are retards.

Shouldn't we respond with an imaginary strategy?
And snapshots for developers. Compile, run, oops: bork-bork-bork, reset to snapshot, hack more, rinse & repeat.

Making people safe from a type of thinking? Fuck you, Mr. mind-cop, I don't need you or anyone else to 'protect' me from thoughts.

Okay then, abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!

Yes, I'm a Democrat.
But I'm not happy about it.
Roe v. Wade. Reduction in unwanted kids results in less criminals. More abortions for all!
In my book, a laser guided, computer controlled anything is a robot.
