It may not be on most people's agenda, but it certainly is mine. People just don't understand or appreciate their privacy in the US. It's so sad.And in the facebook age kids are being raised to expect no privacy.
Boeing and McDonald Douglas are the same entity now. As for Boeing/Lockheed, those are highly coveted positions that often go to people in positions of power, authority, or with the right connections to have friends involved in the purchasing of training, or other hardware. Most retired personnel would do better looking for a smaller company that provides services to the military.
Exactly. I've worked in a several different companies, and basically shit rolls downhill: if your bosses are jerks, then the people above them are going to be even worse.
This is not always true, thankfully. My boss is a huge jackass, and the more he travels the happier I am. However, I also know the CXX's and they are all the nicest people at work. The CEO remembers the names of most employees (over 500), they will joke around with you in the hallways, and they try to take care of the employees. In fact, they turned the company into an ESOP.
There is no contract type available from the government that would cover uncharged OT. For instance, a Cost Plus Fixed fee contract only allows you to make money off of the money that you spend. If you do not pay the employee overtime, you cannot charge for their time.
On a firm fixed price contract, the company brings in the same money regardless. They may "make" extra money by exploiting salaried workers, but the government does not pay any more for this.
On a Time and Materials contract, again you cannot charge the government for anything that you did not spend.
My boss would probably like you to have his baby. He thinks that everyone should only work inside of VIM and on the command-line. I think he's an idiot. I've watched him try to merge code bases w/ diff on the CLI. Then I fire up WinMerge or Beyond Compare, or any other GUI merge tool and show him how its done. He seriously asks people their favorite CLI editor in job interviews and if you don't say VI, he probably won't hire you. It's ridiculous. As if a programmer's skill is measured by their love of VI.
Anyway, I can't imagine what you are doing on the command-line at home most of the time. Doesn't sound like you do anything fun. Sure I use the CLI on my server at home, and a lot on my HTPC as well, but the GUI beats out the CLI on just about any FUN activity.
How long would it take to drive to a popular destination like, say, Disney World... from where you live in a hybrid or gasoline/diesel powered car, vs, an electric car (assuming you have recharge stations on the way)?
Hmmm... I think I could get to Disney land on one charge, though I may have to charge at the hotel to come back.:P
The only hybrid I have driven would not make sense to the average driver in the south, though. Having to leave the engine running to provide power to the AC 9 months out of the year cuts into your gas mileage! Maybe they've changed the way they power the AC though in the last 4 years.
VMware took a nosedive for us when their Linux support began to suck. When VMware Server 1.x and Ubuntu 9.04LTS was around, I could compile the vmmon and vmxnet modules and the virtualization software worked very well. When I upgraded to 10.04 and all the way to current, VMware Server 1.x refused to compile despite the patches offered by VMware.
You do realize that VMWare server 1.x is older than dirt, right? And even VMWare Server 2.x is old. They are free products and do not (admittedly) get much love. However, there are patches available from Ubuntu and other groups that will allow you to compile the tools for whatever Ubuntu distor you desire. I do not know about other distros, as I typically only use Ubuntu at home.
which lead us to believe that VMware just doesn't care about their Linux users and would prefer to sell their other products rather than attempt support of their existing lines of supposed Linux-compatible VM server products.
If you buy one of their paid products (Fusion, Workstation, etc), then you will find that you have absolutely no problems with any of the modern, or ancient distros I have tried (Ubuntu 11.x, RHEL 5.1,5.2,6.0, etc). In fact, if you have VMWare Fusion 4, you can even create VMs of Mac OS Server 10.6 and any release of Mac OS 10.7.
Critical = steady state and Steady state is a good thing.
Not trying to argue with you about this, but in this case they do not have any (or much) control over the reactor. Having it continue to produce a reaction is likely an undesirable condition.
WE CAN STILL MEASURE RADIOACTIVITY AT HIROSHIMA! THE OLDEST NUCLEAR EVENT IN HISTORY!
NO NUKES!
NOT NOW!
NOT EVER!
I'm pretty sure they dropped a test bomb long before it ever made it to Japan... that *might* be older than the first drop of a weaponized bomb. Because no one takes a brand new weapon to battle without making sure it works, first!
Instead of complaining about tickets, run for office or attend government meetings and propose changes.
Yeah, that'll work.
'Look, I know you get a sizeable amount of your revenue from taxing those who drive at more than X mph, but you really should stop because it's very silly.'
I would consider this a tax on the short. I know for a fact that when it comes to things like red light cameras, and other such things, that the camera cannot see my face. I have to slouch to look clearly out of the windshield on most cars. If this camera is up high enough to see across multiple lanes of traffic, then it's not going to be able to see my face!
Wars are multiplying, though he does get credit for winding down Iraq (way too slowly) and Libya (bonus credit for keeping boots off the ground, but loses them for getting us involved in the first place).
So moving the troops out of Iraq and into Kuwait counts as ending a war? And then moving in the state department to take over entire bases in Iraq? Doesn't sound to me like anything has changed.
I thought that SCART was used as a standard input on TV's in the UK and Europe? Maybe I am mistaken... but I know that my previous employer provided enterprise level digital video surveillance systems and they supported SCART in Europe...
Not to mention that if I were a crook and wanted to rob the guy, he's posting exactly just enough useful information for me to know when to rob his house!

Or the Bank of America app, or any other app for a major site that uses Flash that needs to be remade for iOS...
You're forgetting about Nashville, TN. That's 4 senators now... I am sure there is some back scratching going on in just CA and TN though.
Hey! all this within my wallet.
Most people want a TV that won't fit in their wallets...

Which army attack helicopter was he on? If he's a good 15Y, then I could probably land him a job right now!

Not just by county, but they can vary by school districts, or even by city!
So with a 9mm traveling at 335mps you have about 2msec to get the clipboard into the bullet path and here is a hint, no ones limbs can move that fast.
What about Neo? I sure wish they would have made more than one Matrix movie...
The main environments in which such filtering would occur are libraries...
When was the last time you went thru the computer lab at a library??? *yuck*

The perfect UI for 90% of all use cases has existed for decades. I think In The Beginning Was The Command Line

I thought it was easier to heat the seats and glass via resistance rather than forced air. Are they using forced air on the Tesla?
Sorry I meant Disney World... grew up on the West Coast so I am used to Disney Land...

Just remember that if you do grow the balls to do this, you may be prosecuted if someone is seriously injured or killed due to the power outage! :P
I still use Eudora 7... but 5 was my favorite.

Either way, the Trinity bombing test predated both Hiroshima and Nagasaki by almost a month. So it is the oldest nuclear event in history.
