How reliable are the reports of $400K/yr cobol coders and $75K/yr A+ cert password resetters and what kind of numbers are we talking about? I can totally see a CEO's son getting a really special deal, but thats just an anecdote compared to the other 300 million citizens and non-citizens here.
I can tell you that there is a company here where I live that does Cobol programming for banks. I know someone who works there and they will start a Cobol programmer at around $200k with no financial experience.
The problem is that the game on the DVD will still have the DRM and you have to deal with it. For instance, I own DIRT 1. It has tons of on DVD DRM that, later can be removed by patch. However, I can't install the game without it wanting to install all the DRM tools in the first place.
When I buy a used car I don't get the original owners warranty or any free stuff which may have come with the original purchase, free services, road tax, insurance offers etc.
Incorrect. If you transfer the car while it is still under the manufacturer's warranty, the warranty transfers with the vehicle. Been there, done that.
I look at it this way: I work to live, and I want to enjoy life, so I try and make as much as possible to do the things I enjoy. If money weren't a factor, I would teach. Though I usually enjoy what I do.
I set up my own Zimbra server and it does all of that except for the apps. I decided long ago that I wasn't going to just hand any of these companies my entire address book.
I switched to Cyanogenmod for Gingerbread and I haven't looked back since. I love it. I am thrilled about this feature and am now downloading the nightly as we speak! I am very excited.
Oh, also, I want to be able to read the data myself at any time! It would be a great way to learn about your own driving habits, what causes fuel use to go up, am I subconsciously sitting at a red light with my foot depressing the throttle, etc. With GPS, I can track everywhere I've been (but this does tend to imply Big Brother stuff, so no GPS please).
Just get a bluetooth ODB II reader and the Torque app for Android and you can log all of this to your phone while you drive. There are other options for a carputer scenario too. Its quite fascinating information, and its not used against you!
The fences around Area 51 are still marked with "No trespassing signs" that indicate that they are authorized to use deadly force if you violate the sign.
No FOIA requests required. All flight plans filed with the FAA are, by default, publicly available. They require the flight plans for safety reasons. If you don't want someone to track your plane, then stay within VFR airspace and don't file a flight plan.
This article isn't about server applications. It is dealing specifically with Windows as a desktop OS. But yes, you could use powershell and such tools to do something like syslogd. I am not at all familiar with this, so I can't tell you what sort of automation it provides. And all I was trying to do was to get you to concede that sometimes a GUI tool is better than a CLI tool. But something tells me you'd never admit to this.
Except that you can do all sorts of things with the Event Viewer that makes diff, grep, and other tools useless. You can do things like sort your errors by severity, filter events by severity, filter between OS, hardware, and userspace errors, etc. And if you really decide that you want to use diff, grep, or any other command-line tool with Cygwin, well you can just export the entire log and grep to your heart's content.
I'm not trying to say that it is better or worse than/var/log/messages. I am just trying to say that a GUI doesn't automatically make something bad. In fact, I can tell you right now I'd rather use a GUI diff tool over the CLI's diff because it's much easier to see what is going on.
Clearly I care because I want to leave something behind for my family. Isn't that the whole purpose of an estate? To look after those you are leaving behind?
See I think an estate tax is just ludicrous. Everything I own was acquired through my personal income which has already been taxed. Everything I've bought has already been subject to property tax, sales tax, and other taxes. Why do they get to tax everything again when I die? It's already been taxed. They just look for any excuse to tax you as much as possible.
My AsRock P67 Extreme6 does not have USB3 driver support. None of the USB ports (but two) work in Linux. I'd say that is pretty crippling if you need more than 2 USB devices. Of course you could get a hub to work around that, but that is just one more piece of junk to put on my desk. But I actually run several Linux VMs inside of Windows and on my Mac mini.
I watched it from work this morning, about 120 miles away. We didn't hear it here, obviously. But, once it got above the clouds it became very visible. The haze + early morning sun made it impossible to see through the lower level of haze. Shortly after they kicked the SRBs into full blast, it again disappeared into the haze. Total viewing time was approximately 10 seconds.
The best launch I've seen so far was a twilight launch. I went to the beach and was able to see it for a good 60 seconds. It was amazing.
Raw data has no agenda. A person who has a non-linear, non-thoughtful response to raw data should be avoided like toxic waste.
You're kidding, right? Because you can collect raw data in a way to support your agenda. In a perfect world, raw data would have no agenda. Unfortunately, everyone I know that collects raw data has an agenda. Said agenda often influences how and what data is collected.
Actually, the armpit of America is officially in Nevada. Just ask Old Spice. Anyway, I live not too far from Daytona (I'll probably go out to the runway and watch the shuttle launch at work this morning), and I will agree that it's not the most exciting, or nicest place to live. At least, not when it comes to weather. I wish I could make it down to Titusville for the launch. Oh well, we will see what July has in store.
I wish the general consensus here in the US were to be more interested and respectful of our foreign friends (and enemies for that matter). There are those of us who know that Stockholm is actually in Sweden, and that they speak Dutch in the Netherlands. It saddens me because I know people here in the US who think that any language other than English is just a waste of time, and effort. I have actually been chastised by a woman for being fond of Spanish, and languages in general. Not everyone here is so ignorant, thankfully.
I do contend, though, that German and Dutch look very similar when written. Similar enough that I, who speak neither language, could probably not tell the difference in common writing. What has me totally flabbergasted is why someone would spend thousands of dollars to go to the Netherlands, or any other country, and not bother to learn a little about the culture and language before they go.
It only takes minutes for the flight engineer to hook up the sling. They often sling load downed helis in Iraq. I'm not sure about Afghanistan, I haven't asked. There are several war damaged Chinooks in the hanger at my work, however, and they are not in flyable shape. So I don't think they consider these things to be terribly disposable.
They don't paint the helicopters black. They paint them OD Green. I can tell you that at night, they might as well be black. I've seen one do touch and goes at an army airfield and from 50 feet away I had no idea where it was by sight. They had the navigation lights flashing every few seconds, and that was all that gave it away.
Like I said above, if they had sent in a chinook they would have just sling loaded the downed helicopter out of pakistan. It would have been a walk in the park for them.
If they had brought any chinooks in, they would have just sling loaded the crashed helicopter out. There would have been no need to blow anything up. Those things can out climb an F-16 and carry some 50,000 pounds of goods.

Hmm that is exactly how my phone looked w/ 2.1, 2.2 and now 2.3. *shrug*

Why they drilled that tunnel.
I RTFA and I didn't see anything explaining why they dug the tunnel.

All I have to say is this: It looks like Mary Poppins was right.
