In Brasil, the engagement ring is the same as the wedding band; usually, it's a 14-ct to 18-ct gold plain ring. Both nubents wear it on the right ring finger during the engagement period, and switch it to the left ring finger in the marriage cerimony.
I worked at the Belo Horizonte store for Sears in the holiday season of 1987 [they have gone out of biz here in Brasil in 1990 or so -- hope it wasn't my fault:-)]. I worked at the credit granting section as a temp assistant, and our manager was great, but the "corporate policy" in general sucked and treated employees as potential thieves all the time (security checks when you are leaving the store, security crew constantly looking more for employee wrongdoing than shoplifters, etc). I was invited to stay employed, but I was just entering college, and I didn't need that kind of shit at the time. My aunt, who worked at their credit section since the mid-1970's [she has gotten me the gig], was laid off when Sears faded away a couple of years later. That is to say, sometimes your manager cannot overtune shitty corp policies.
So long as the user in question can run 'at' or cron, it can still install itself.
No it can't install itself. To install something, and set execute permissions, requires manual input of a password from the keyboard. is your/home in a separate, noexec partition? because if it isn't (and many -- almost all -- of them aren't) then your trojan can set exec bit for something hidden in your ~/.kde or something without any keyboard access. and it can keep running after you log out, too.
Most truckers seem to drive a whole lot better than the cell phone using, texting, make-up putting on, shaving, eating, or newspaper reading car drivers I see every day. Shaving?? Shaving???? I thought I was enough of a public enemy for driving while watching SGA... What a sissy I must be.
1. This device is supposedly Trekly-indolor, the one they used to vaccinate me hurt like hell. 2. Ergo, this device is not the same that they used in me in the 1970s.
I can virtually see him now with his black cape, sleep-deprived eyes and a sinister grin, pointing at Bill Gates and screaming: "KILL HIM, MY ROBOTS!!" Cue to cell phone ringing (Nokia Tune ring), suspense music stops, killer robots halt mid-attack, the screen splits in half, Tove (karate-champion Linus' wife) at the phone in the other half: "Dear, would you please bring some whole milk home after you're done conquering the world? I want to make you some victory chocolate cake." Linus: "Ok, honey, luv-u." Mayhem restarts, killer robots resume attacks.
6pm.. sounds like you're "on call", which is different than telecommuting. If you're not on call, you're an IDIOT for answering your work phone after you get off work, and an even bigger idiot if you gave them your home phone number. Sure, it sounds harmless until you start getting those late night calls. Then you quickly realize how important a line between job time and family time is. Just sayin' Parent poster is "on call", but the telecommuter who called to solve VPN problem is working off-hours for free.
As an employee, you have to give 30-days notice before quitting, and work the 30 days. If you just say "I quit" and go away, the employer can fire you for abandoning the job and you lose whatever accumulated vacations/bonuses you have to receive. As an employer, you have to give 30-days notice before firing, but you have the option to just pay for the 30 days and sending the employee home. The soon-to-be-fired employee has (IIRC) 2 less work hours per day (full pay still) during the 30 days, to be used for finding another job. The employer must pay proportional vacation (30 days/year with extra 1/3 monthly pay vacation bonus) and proportional Xmas bonus (1 month's pay) for the employee. And 40% of the amount of the employee's FGTS (some compulsory savings account we have here, like 8% of the gross income per month).
For starters, let me say that I had no intention of rattling anyone's cage;-) It was an honest question.
Not sure I understand your question. I intended to say that using fsevents creates less overhead than being called by the OS X equivalent of inotify directly. The overhead in being called by inotify directly is that your app needs to be called every time the FS changes. If that occurs often and your app isn't extremely efficient, this may drag the whole system down. Using fsevents, only fsevents gets called when the FS changes. Your app can then get a list of changed files from fsevents whenever it feels like it, and doesn't need to worry about efficiency. First of call, events in/dev/fsevents (OSX equivalent to inotify) go quite often.
my math: case 1: total OH = OH of going to/dev/fsevents from time to time, in your program case 2: total OH = OH of calling fseventsd + OH of fseventsd going to/dev/fsevents from time to time
in which case you think the total overhead is greater?
Every single one of the 200-300 people I know that downloads music:
* Buys the CD or re-downloads the music from Amazon, Terra, UOL, iTMS or something if the music is good, and they have available cash.
* Wouldn't buy the CD if the music is crap. Sometimes they still keep them in their HD/portable player/cell phone[1], but they would not buy the CD at all.
* Wouldn't buy the CD if they didn't have the available cash at that moment.
And that's it. There are absolute no lost sales. Au contraire, there are gained sales for good music because good tracks usually don't play on the radio, and the only way the music gets out is via downloads.
And Radiohead is winning a lot of money by letting people download their music.
[1] and in this case, sometimes some friend of this person finds the supposedly crappy music ok, and buys the disk, etc, etc,...
Repeating: loss of revenue from illegal downloading and/or sharing is a myth.
It's not "keep your appliances with 0W draw during standby" (which, per se, is no advantage at all) but "use a more efficient way to power up your appliance during standby and save x% energy after all" (capacitor vs. transformer). You have a good point, though, but I think you could have been a little less rude;-)
If I'm wrong, I hope that I'm not very tasty! Start polluting your system with preservatives and chemicals! If they find you tasty, at least you might give them cancer! Ah! That's why I am dieting for the last 25 years or so with lots of preservatives, chemicals, ethanol, tetrahidrocanabinol, xantines and other stuff! Thanks for reminding me! -- Those who drink for forgetfulness, please pay in advance.
Man, where do people think the electrons will come from? Magic aether? To keep the standby circuit working at 0 draw (integrated over time, as in Watt-hour) instead of +x draw, this capacitor thing will have to draw the +x during the "on" time. What is the advantage? The only one I can think is lowering the "humming" transformer sounds that my house does at night with its dozen pieces of equipment in standby.
I hope you would respect the fact that there are other people in that public place that should not be forced to listen to said ruckus.... Respect, yes, but people should _know_ what to expect of small kids. There is no such place as a quiet place that does allow kids inside. Why do you think some resorts don't accept people with less than 16?
and that you'd take that little screaming fucker outside till it was calm enough to come in again. How do you teach a kid to act in public, if you let it act poorly there and get away with it? That is the problem. If you are taking him outside (and letting yourself be embarrassed), you are giving him attention, and I have read (in many of the many many child-upbringing books my wife bought when she was pregnant from my older son) and I have had the real-world experience, with both my kids and other people's kids (sometimes we just have to take them to playdates, you know?) that: if you ignore _every_ temper tantrum the kid learns not to throw them. Temper tantrums are a cry 'give me attention! all of your attention! now! stop shopping and looking at other stuff that is not ME!', and they are a natural reaction of the kids up and until 4-5 years old. If the kid is older than 5 years and it _still_ throws tantrums, it's most certainly because the parents didn't do the Right Thing (TM) to begin with. Obviously, it works still better if when then kid is _not_ behaving badly, you pay attention to it to begin with unless you want to raise a completely insecure kid by means of ignoring it. I am quite satisfied with the fact that my 8yo son behaves appropriately in public and does not indicate any sign of carelessness, and with the progress that my 1 1/2 yo daughter is doing... but then again, I know anecdotal evidence is no evidence at all. And no, this is not a flamebait (informative maybe? offtopic, sure!)
who has a 8-yo and a 1-yo, if I go to a store with a 3-yo, and he/she starts screaming at the top of its lungs, I couldn't care less unless he/she is in danger of damaging any goods at the store, in which case I would physically restrain him/her, which would make him/her scream even louder;-) I wouldn't call this keeping under control, but... Yeah, you have a point. Editors could (should) have linked to the damn blog (and yes, it would be too much to expect that...)

Yeah, the east and west, too, defining the east as the place where it's rotating to (like on earth), relative to some point (like the earth).

fsevents is a daemon that goes polling the OSX equiv of inotify and populating a log. So, where exactly is the overhead??
Your answer is approximately US$ 0.00.
