Probably because you can have universe with out a deity, we do in this universe. Evolution can give you hope. I do agree that we can't live in ignorance, but thinking about god only encourages ignorance.
In order to reverse this modification, it means that Facebook has retained a copy of your original contact list. Most likely FB has numerous timestamped versions of their users contact lists. For most professionals it is standing operating procedure to take backups before doing any modifications. However while that tidbit is probably not surprising to slashdotters, it may come as a surprise to the average Facebooker how much information FB is collecting over time.
As the victim of several home burglaries. The sign doesn't matter. The glass break detector that sounds an ear piercing alarm doesn't matter. Thieves smash and grab, they know that security and/or police response time gives them enough time to grab something they can sell at the flea market or a pawn shop.
Outside of sitting at home with a shot gun, your best defense is what the original poster is trying to do. Set up an automated and secure way way of video/photographing a potential intruder and getting those files out in the cloud somewhere.
I thought about trying to replicate the experiment but ran into a couple of snafu's.
1. The comparison was between IE9 and Firefox 4 (other browsers as well, but Firefox is the one I typically use). 2. The current version of Firefox is 6.0 -- 6.0 might not have been available at the original time of the study but 5 was. I'd prefer to test the latest and greatest, so it should be a comparison between IE9 and Firefox 6. 3. Microsoft won't let me install IE9. Apparently I would have to upgrade to Windows 7 in order to run their latest version of their web browser.
The jury summons I received last week had the option of responding via ejuror.co.clark.nv.us. I attempted to login and was denied access. The error message indicated that neither my social security nor birthdate matched what was in the system. However when I called in and eventually got access to a live person, both of those details were correct in the system. Color me not impressed.
Good, bad or indifferent I have accumulated over 2 years of continuous playing time on my assorted toons. I am normally a PvE-er and spend most of my time raiding or grinding to prep for raids. I also try to set aside some time to attempt to experience as much of Azeroth as I can from as many perspectives as I can, so that I am in a good position to offer suggestions and determine solid strategies to defeat new content. The elements which bother me time and time again seem to be technical in nature rather than content related. When things get bogged down and you have to wait 10 seconds for loot to actually get picked up, or spend 10 seconds trying to harvest a node, pick up an herb or grab an item for a daily quest and then discover that someone already beat you to it, but your client didn't even show them until you thought you had successfully looted it are infuriating. Presumably this is because of queueing up responses between the client and the server and getting confirmation of ownership of items.
Most of these items are far from game-changing and it would remove a huge chunk of annoyance factor if the model were altered even if that permitted some duplication of these items. If multiple people all reach for a half empty glass of wine in Dalaran at close to the same time, let them all get it. Same goes for an herb or a mine. It should simplify the transaction required between client and server and I realize that it would be a substantial change from a code perspective, but I think it would be a pleasant and welcome change to your player base. Is this something that you would consider? I'm sure I speak for many players that would happily transfer more load from the game to the client if that would mean a more responsive environment.
Leroy Jenkins was from EQ, although Blizz does have the new achievement for this dubious honor as an homage. I wouldn't expect to see that character in a WoW movie.
Apparently we need to protect our children from unscrupulous lawyers. The only harm involved to date can be directly linked to the actions of District Attorney George Skumanick.
Actually the site doesn't work whether you're using Internet Explorer or Firefox. It looks worse with Firefox because they are using some of the non-standard display tags that cause components to overlap if using a standards compliant browser. Regardless of the browser used, the result is the same: failure.
It's highly unusual to allow a person with high access to remain on the premises after giving notice. Even if management follows the general procedure of removing access, someone who has worked for many years in a trusted position of authority may very well have alternate means of gaining access. Physical access to the premises, following someone who has recognized your face for many years into a secured data center is not that difficult in many corporations. Standard security policy for any security conscious company upon receiving someone's notice typically involves a short exit interview. During the exit interview all access to systems get revoked, while management explains the severance package, unused holidays, paying the employee 2-4 weeks to not come in... After the exit interview security can escort the person off the premises.
When I left IBM to pursue a life worthwhile, I was well aware of how they dealt with folks who intend on giving notice. I knew when I planned to leave and started working on finishing my active projects that could be finished and bringing in more of my employees to co-develop on the projects that would continue to exist after my departure. A couple of key trustworthy developers I clued in to my general departure plan. I did not inform anyone of my specific departure date, in order to give them plausible deniablity.
Management saw me as a wonderful mentor. When I did turn in my notice, I did it on a Friday as I was walking out the door. I came back in on Monday with an escort to officially say goodbye. To my knowledge, everything continued to operate normally without the guy who never got to take any vacation because he was critical to the success of the business.
It was a win win. The corporation had trained personnel in place to continue without disrupted services. I left knowing that any of the projects I had any emotional vested energy would be properly looked after. I happily cashed the paychecks they sent without a twinge of guilt.
As the original poster had been utilizing Notepad previously, vi/vim should both be considered significant upgrades.
It would help if the OP had posted the current number of records and projected growth. Size of the database and how it will be utilized goes a long way to determining a 'best' solution.
I guess I have the opposite tack to the original contributor. Having worked in industry for 11 years and slowly gaining on the completion of my PhD which I have recently gone back for, I find this argument to be disappointing. Almost every computer class I have taken has insisted on team projects, inevitably you always get a slacker and your project suffers as a whole. Additionally, it's very easy to get pigeon holed into working in a specialized area and not getting exposure to the other components of the project.
I would strongly argue for projects that can be performed by one person. No more than one class in your educational curriculum, like a Software Development Practicum should involve team work.
Sure in the business world teamwork is necessary, but typically businesses will completely retrain a college new hire anyway. We're looking to see that you are well balanced, intelligent and that you're a fast learner. If you've been working as a team member for all of your college years, I believe you'll be lacking in certain areas of your development.

Duck season.
Hopefully the original guy got paid for his hand modeling.
