I'm all for it but the thing that bugs me is why cant we write a paragraph for our passwords or at the very least a full sentence. usually 8-64 characters is the min max range for a acceptable password. But what If I want my password to be the gettysburg address. Or maybe just the lyrics to a song. Why cant we have insanely complex passwords if we want? So until my password can be pi to the 100th digit dont come complaining to me when my passwords are the same for everything.
I skip the little things... Plus I do not recognize U.S. soccer teams as a tool for organization. I had to remove Galaxy from my organizational charts when they formed the L.A. Galaxy. That little naming convention set me back 10 years worth of organization. I became confused of which galaxy I lived in and had to seek extensive therapy. I feel a relapse coming on.
But honestly thanks for the clarification, I actually forgot a little thing like galaxies.
I never understood how you can have something organized or not. I organize my stuff at the planetary level. Universe > Solarsystem > Earth > Contenent > United States > Florida > County > City > Street > House > Room > Desk > Computer > Hard Drive > Folder > File Type > Location I think im pretty well organized even though i miss place stuff all the time.
Yes I often go to various companies I intend to work for. Offer them each to pay me in advanced for the chance I might choose to work for them. I of course will not refund the money as they had the privilege of competing for me to select them for my place of employment. The problem with my argument is no one in their right mind would agree to it. So why agree to a contest on the off chance you are one of two things (Extremely over qualified / talented enough to beat everyone else) or (Not doing it for the money and would do it anyhow). Chances are you want to know you are the best but really you arent. You are just the best of a group of people who want to prove they are the best or looking to get lucky.

What Went Wrong At Yahoo
·
· Score: 3, Informative
Service 1) when google came out and I first heard of it I thought wow what a silly name. 2) I got past the name and tried it to see how it was different. 3) It was immediately obvious it was better compared to yahoo. 4) I stopped using yahoo and other search engines immediately.
Customer Loyalty 1) I told my friends and family about google (I rarely suggest anything) 2) I've had issues with some things google has done over the years but nothing major enough. (I dont use chrome all that much because I don't see it as a far superior product compared to firefox. At least not in terms of Google vs Yahoo when it first gained popularity) 3) They've built up a certain level of trust that I don't associate with many companies.
Management 1) I wouldn't go as far to say they are charismatic but I would say they have a ideology that appeals to some people that could make a lot of money without the help of google but still decide to work for the company. 2) I've used their service and I'm a loyal customer but the only thing I have to go on for their management is what I can infer from news. But I still think management was a key part to their success.
Kinda why I always hated being referred to as a programmer / IT / geek whatever. Seriously can't we do a little bit more to refine our public image a little bit more? I'd like to have a little bit more pride about saying what I'm doing when I go out with the girlfriend and have to talk about what I do. It's been 20 years now and we still can't make our profession cool? We practically make the fucking civilization go and programming is basically the next form of communication for the next 100 years. We generally make good money and we can fuck up even the best of most businesses.
Kill all birds with one stone. 1) Every person should be copyrighted 2) Any missing person should be considered abducted and cross filed under copyright theft 3) Any person that has gone missing should be cross filed under identity theft as it could be an abduction, copyright abduction / theft, and a missing person at the same time.
I could find sarcastic ways to connect ident theft & copyrights to possibility of missing persons but I'm lazy.
I dont like the idea at all. When one gets derailed what in gods name is going to take it away for repairs? All it takes is one idiot with a kayak or something mounted to the roof of his vehicle to cause a traffic jam. And what about exits and side streets? Couldn't they just build a separate rail system next to the road or are they too cramped for space? And what happens to traffic when one of these is knocked off the rail? I would love to see what they would have that could haul that thing away from traffic. Seriously underground or above ground mass transit. They have the layered traffic idea right just not the proper implementation of it.
Here at Microsoft we half ass our software on purpose. It's a feature... for us.. you, not so much.
Seriously I could shake down every customer that walked through my door to buy a item by forcing them to disclose all their private info. That would work great until the shop next to me offers a better product and is just happy to do business with people.
Common sense prevails again. Now let's start blocking common sense in EULA's and only license the software to our users that way any time they use our software they run the risk of breaking our agreement.
Um no I disagree they are middle men that are between us and the law. We can choose to represent ourselves if we decide thus making them middle men and not required although highly recommended and by current standards necessary.
Seriously I understand publishing a book in multiple languages and in multiple countries is a big deal but they should have saw this one coming for a long time now. If you are the middle man and technology rears it's ugly head prepare to be marginalized or bypassed completely. I cannot wait for the day when this happens to Lawyers.
I think once Starbucks has a store at every 2 miles on every continent they will have to eventually start populating the ocean. Give them a year or two. By then you should be able to float up to their starbucks buoy building and grab a latte and use their wifi.
You'll get degraded signal if you hold or sit next to your computer. And if someone using a microwave within 100meters you lose signal completely. But that is a feature so you know when your food is done cooking.
I have my computer where I can remote into it. If some fool dares steal my laptop. I'll remote in and send a email bomb threat to the person's local municipalities from the persons laptop. Wait 2 days then watch CNN to find out which dumb ass stole my laptop.
The first grant is just for 5.2 million for 60 people and 20 businesses. At 50$ per person per month and 150$ per business a month that is just a around $72,000 Per year of revenue for the 5.2 million dollars expense.
Who says Democrats don't know how to properly allocate funds. How I missed the boat on this free money has me needing some serious therapy. Do we have free health care for that yet?:)
Copper Valley Telephone Cooperative Incorporated AK This $5.2 million grant/loan middle mile project will allow Cooper Valley Telephone Coop. to extend terrestrial wireless broadband connectivity to McCarthy, AK. When complete, the project will offer upgraded service to more than 60 Alaskans and nearly 20 local businesses and other community institutions that currently can only subscribe to satellite service. The project will include significant non-federal investment. Beyond the jobs it creates upfront, the project will open McCarthy to future economic and business development.
I think the problem is there just aren't enough jobs. For local / offshore / everywhere. Too many people in the world, not enough resources, not enough of anything to be honest. So we want to make a system that further skews things because too far in one direction is worse then a crappy balancing act. Offshore pushes towards labor inequality. I just wish the offshore people would demand more from their employers and it seems to be slowly moving that way. But the fact is that there are too many people that can do the same job, but with varying demands of compensation. So taxing them because they are willing to work for less does not seem very ethical to me but that is why I will always be broke. I'm not willing to screw people over just for a little extra money.
Either that or he has another theory that the monetary system flawed and fails to adequately characterize the effort = reward by the fact that Money is it's own reward or Money = More Money.
But think of all the poor unemployed lawyers that need a job. Wait a second... I'm starting to see a problem here. Maybe if a company with cash counter-sues me I will sell my patent to my other company, close up shop and screw over that lawyer with the bill. Then open up shop under a new name like Big Patent or BP for short. I hear that name will be available soon.
Corporate Defense through mitigated risk and shell companies. Is there a patent on that yet?
Call me crazy or wrong but isn't everyone sick of hearing about HTML 5 by now? It felt like a political race with regards to the video, who is supporting what and why. Maybe for HTML 6 we can have a canidate race and I can choose my party affiliation and have a voters registration card. And of course ONLINE Voting in a easily hackable IE6 only browser.
Let's make a Patent that Patents the system for which Patent Lawyers & Patent Registers Circumvent Common Sense and are awarded Patents. That way anyone who files one of these ridiculous patents are infringing upon my patent. Anyone who defends the patent is also infringing upon my patent. I'll see you in court Bitches. (That is step 6 of my process)
Seriously if they are doing £12 per visitor, it really makes me wonder how much they pay for physical office space per visitor. Since it is the government there is probably a building or office that relates the physical presence of each one of these websites. If overall traffic to the websites are that low just imagine how much is wasted as foot traffic is probably significantly less.
Usually when I do work it is for the whole project. There are people out there who are willing to be jerked around with a 33% of being hired to complete a full project?
You know what I would do is sub out a few people to help me with the first milestone and then just sub out to one dumb ass to complete the rest of the project.
