Well it is hard to say but more crimes are motivated by money than by sex... however I suppose the two are running in a dead heat.
Leverage is leverage.... Hiding an alcohol problem? An affair? Owe $50K in revolving credit? How about a wee bit of a coke thing? These are situations that make people act in ways that they never dreamed of in order to satisfy their closet thing.
I have only held DOD clearances, but the investigation (maybe it is the clearance who knows) has followed me from job to job.
You may well be correct about clearances granted by different branches of the gov't. Would a DOE clearance be honored by the DOD? I don't know (or even if there is a difference.)
If it got to that point I would be doing such things as you stated, rather than simply churning through my savings.
However I don't *think* it would ever come to that for me. I've found that with the tiny bit of financial independence I have accumulated I have the flexibility to choose my employment to my suiting.
So: every paycheck - 10% into retirement and 10% into cash savings. Any bonuses/tax refund/found money half go into savings half to a treat for me (more likely for my son these days!)... hold off on the lastest and greatest CPU upgrade.... when you do buy something buy quality. Wait for 5 years. This is the simple and easy formula that I have followed and it seems to work.
That is simply not true: There are tons of emplyers willing to sponser a clearance (for a person who stands a good chance of getting one).
It isn't just IT either. Janitors for example. There are TONS of high paying janitorial positions in this area requiring clearances. Other positions too. Electricians. Locksmiths. You name it, there is a job doing just about anything and it requires a clearance.
The same is true about the lifestype polygraph. You can be a married father and banging strange men at rest stops on the side with no condom.... but as long as your spouse knows about it there is no problem as far as your employment status...

Don't know if this is still the case - I will try it the next time I have to reinstall Windows - which means sometime next week;). (Just kidding - I actually have an XP install that still *seems* stable after two years of abuse.)
Well, Pascal kind of did catch on - Delphi, C++ Builder, Kylix, Object Psacal, Tubo Pascal - but yes you are right compared to C or Java it was really nothing.

Well, as usual, truth rarely fits into simple little statements like the one I made.
True, the POSIX subsystem doesn't sit solely on top if Win32 - however many of its calls are translated to Win32 calls and passes to the NT Executive. I believe the same is true for the OS/2 subsystem.
However with Services for Unix 3.5 much of this could be changed.

There will be no space elevator. Not now. Not 200 years from now.
Who knows where the combination could lead?
How about CRT's?
At a long enough range the apparent velocity of a target drops.
Were the RV in the tens of miles from the laser you would have a valid point. however the target will be at a minimum hundreds of miles.
Think about a CRT and the steering coils that direct the electron beams. 1930's technology - but similar to what they are trying to do.
I think so with the chicks. haw

Congratulations on a great imitation of a person who is living paycheck to paycheck.
...to work for a place like that.
No way. I would have quit after the first month.
Advice: save save save your pennies. There is no value that you can put on a year's salary in the bank (aka a Fuck You fund.)
But are you running around *naked* in the woods?
...I'll upgrade when the thing simply refuses to work.
Not true.
Depends on level of clearance... but I think a secret is good for two years (after you leave the job), a TS for one, and so forth.
Atleast that has been the case with me.
After all, your past doesn't change simply beacuse you change jobs. Even the US gov't realizes this.

To use some OOP jargon... with a few execptions like you pointed out, a C source code module "is a" C++ source code module.

He was given is job (and allowed to keep and was subsequently promoted) by both administrations to woo Colin Powell.
Why bother marketing at all?
Seriously: for prescription drugs, the doctor gives me the Rx - then I go get what they say to get.
Perference, hot modles, and cool ads do not factor into this transaction whatsoever.
I guess they could market directly to doctors and insurance companies - but that is much smaller in scale.

It is true - but the POSIX subsystem is a paltry subset of the full POSIX standard, sits on top of Win32, and (I think) deprecated.
