Well, you could also cut out letters out of newspapers and magazines and reconstruct the document that way. That way it is less traceable... especially if you use magazines and newspapers from around the country.
Only problem is it might take a some time, and it might freak the hell out whoever first sees the document...:)
If I had a few billion dollars lying around, I would start a new wireless provider or buy an existing one.
I'd just offer a pipe and sell bandwidth with packet shaping. I wouldn't care what you run on the network. I'd let vonage / skype, etc. sell their services and let whatever phone run on the network (that passes FCC regulation).
I don't know if its feasible, but i'd also offer two low level network calls to send packets at different QoS levels. Email, text messages, podcast syncing can go at a low QoS level while voice and active web browsing can go at a higher.
I'd still charge plenty for my service and I'm fairly certain I'd still get a ton of customers.
The honest thing to say here is that ageism is very real in *most* (not all) software firms. Its just the reality. If you are older, people will expect you to be experienced and thus fulfill a more architectural or managerial role.
You can succeed, but its going to be more difficult for you. If your heart is set for it and you really enjoy software development, go for it.
Everyone always says "After company X goes bankrupt, it'll be worthless." - but really, what are the odds that Stardock/Valve/Microsoft/Blizzard/etc. will go under?
I think you're all paranoid. These companies have been around for years - they clearly have some smart people leading them.
What are the odds of AIG going under?
What are the odds of Lehman going under?
These companies have been around for over 100 years.
Even if you look at tech, 10 or so years ago, it would have been hard to imagine Sun or SGI disappearing (even 3dfx in its heyday -- I would put 3dfx on the same standing as Stardock / Valve in your list). Now its not so hard to imagine.
What is new is live migration across different CPU generations.
I believe its using some features in the newer CPUs to turn off certain features / CPUID bits such that all CPUs look the same to the guest OS / applications running on top of it.
That depends strongly on what time horizon you evaluate the shareholder perspective. Your average shareholder would like nothing more than for management to operate the company like a big pump-n-dump machine, jacking up the stock price for the next two quarters at the expense of long-term profitability. If management's doing its job correctly, it won't listen to the day-traders, instead building a solid company over a span of years.
I never understood this argument. Fraud aside, you shouldn't be able to jack the stock price without increasing profitability long-term or the promise of liquidation at a higher price in the near term.
Dumb investors that cause the temporary rise in price by short-sightedness should eventually go broke.
Interesting... stack trace displays are turned off by default from remote sites when using ASP.NET for security reasons. They had to explicitly turn them on to display this.
I doubt they are the best people to tell others about security...
WRONG. If another player is playing poorly, he is affecting how the cards come out of the deck. For instance, if another player "hits" on a 20, and takes the Jack that would have (should have) accompanied your Ace, he has most definitely played in a way that affect your odds of winning.
In fact, most blackjack players are expecting you to play the "basic strategy" and will get miffed if you don't.
Before saying in all caps that someone is wrong, you should know what you are talking about. It works out to be the same. In your example, he could have easily have hit another card which allowed you to get your Jack on your turn.
Looking at it another way, the chances of the Jack being at the top of the deck vs. the card underneath it is exactly the same.
I get really annoyed at people who blame others at the table for their losses, saying they shouldn't have hit yadayada. It even happens when you follow basic strategy, they complain when you hit on 16. They only remember the situations where that causes them to lose the hand when they shouldn't have vs. when it made them win the hand.
It increases your chances manyfold if you get referred to by someone in the company.
Also speaking from the other side of the fence, most of the great hires we've had had been referrals, and *all* of the "bad" hires we've had were through digging the usual dice / monster / recruiter resumes.
Slashdot Mirror
thereby allowing her to impregnate herself .
Gives real meaning to the saying "go fuck yourself".
You could also do this using VMware player, which is free.
Or conversely, go to Yahoo's search page and get the "clean" look.
Note to those who may want to try this at home: piss in the *vegetation*, not the mug...
The only limitation I can think of is the 4 virtual NIC's, it would be good for some of our products to be able to provide a much higher number.
ESX 4 (very recently released) supports 10 NICs.
Can we ask you then, why are you running it on VMware Server? Use ESXi. Its free. VMware Server's I/O performance is no where near as good as ESXi.

Flu season kills more than this strain will.
How the hell do you know that? The spread of this flu has just begun.

Your comparison between your fire hazard insurance and credit default swaps is weak, at best. For several reasons: ...
Actually its a hell lot simpler than that. Regular insurance, like fire insurance, is regulated. Credit default swaps are not.
Which should be clear to the buyer that they should only "proceed at thier own risk"

To distribute a 3d plugin widely and show that heavy 3d can work well in a browser environment.
I can see some interesting things coming out of it. Decent chance it will just fade away, though.

Did you consider renting? Did it make economic sense to buy over rent?
If renting was more economical, you made a poor financial decision and the taxpayer shouldn't be forced to bail you out.
If you did the numbers and purchasing was more economical (which I doubt), then house prices will come back soon enough.
Doesn't matter, if we keep repeating that Goebbels made that quote, then people will believe it.
Problem solved.
Not to mention the acceleration getting to that speed would either take a very long time or turn the passengers into soup.
Use your networks. Seriously.
It increases your chances manyfold if you get referred to by someone in the company.

The point of the H1-B visa was not to get cheaper workers. It was to address a (falsified) shortage of qualified workers.
You aren't making any sense. Why would anyone "falsify" a shortage of qualified workers if not to get cheaper labor?
(FYI, I do believe that there was a shortage of quality IT workers, its just that if you believe there was a shortage, your statement makes no sense).
Yes, there is a video of it being tested on the Hudson river here on YouTube
Bah, its just a "mental recession". :)
After you quit, this is something you can let the board know what happened.
As a matter of principle, people like that should never manage other people.
