A good employer would invest in training and developing their employee. So, company should paid fully for the conference or training that is directly related to your job. If they don't, you should decide whether you want to work for someone that does not want to invest in you. The truth is that if they value something they will find room in the budget. Do not beg; either pay for it yourself (and consider it a personal investment) or get a new employer that actually cares about your development.
With that said, as a manager, I would carefully scrutinize the value of the conference or training. Some conference are so broad, it probably not that useful to the company. I would rather the employee pick a few conference in the beginning of the year, and work with them to narrow down to the most valuable one, and maybe come up with a plan for alternating local and out-of-town events to save on budget.
I really don't see the point in this. Do you not have faith in GPL? When a company sinks in millions of dollars and builds an entire business model around an open source project, they have economic incentive to participate in development (whether they realised it or not). With their dollars at stake, they are the best people to figure out what enhancement / fixes are needed. If they have their own "private" features/fixes", every time a new release comes out, they run into compatibility issues. Once they go down that road, it is not that far fetch to start contributing the project and have what they want be part of the main branch of development. They might also just sit around and wait for the "community" to do their work, but with money on the line, they have to start adding or making changes to the software.
Even if you don't agree with me, writing angry letters or complaining is really not going get you any where. If you really want to police this, close source your code or your project.
google.cn is an additional service not a replacement. with google.com, you get poor service + filtered content without disclosure. with google.cn, you get better service + filtered content with disclosure. morality has nothing to do with this. if I was living in china, I prefer the second scenario.
google is not in the business of changing local law, they are in the interest of search. law changes must be from within. the local people need to stand up to their gov. the external pressure is possible, but to be effective it must be on governmental level. I agree with google's decision, and it shows that they have thought things through, and have good reason to do what they are doing...
Why not just use gmail. There is enough storage, and they have the money and people to take care of security, cross-platform issues, and bandwidth. Unless you have money like Micro$oft, you won't beat gmail.
I like the last chapter a lot. Most epic have a hard ending well. Author usually brings people to the climax, and drops the reader right after that. The last chapter brings a climax to a sense of closure. It makes you fell like you are indeed reading a excerpt of these people's lives, since life to go on after the main plot...
Worm's growth is exponential. It needs to reach a critical mass, then it unleashes itself. The problem with a worm that seals the vulnerability is that the growth will spiral downward exponentially. It's like a parasite that kills it's host too quickly. I'm not quite sure about the details, maybe a mathamatician can help me out, but my gut reaction is that this might not work.
I never seem to be able to find internet explorer or microsoft word on those bloody linux. How do they expect people to use the OS if you can't get on the internet or type your papers. I'd thought they fixed that by now...
There are correct ways to say things, and there are what people actually say; in the long run, what people actually say will win. GNU/linux insisting folks might be right, logically, but the tide of the times is washing them away. Just like Xerox cannot stop people from using their trademark in a generic way, GNU folks in the long run will not be able to tell people how to use the word Linux. In the long run, they also paint themselves in a bad light (self-righteous and whinny). I'm no way saying that their argument is incorrect; I would love for them to win, since they deserve it, but the zeitgeist (spirit of the time) is against them.
Exterior: They both have bright color. Apples come in red, green, and yellow, while oranges come in orange only. So, the win goes to apples.
Accessibility: Apple's skin is thin and edible for most adults. Oranges on the other hand has to be peeled. The process of peeling might delay your gratification, and it might make you hands smell like oranges. However, you can cut each with a knife.
Taste: They are both a bit citrisy. Apples tend to be sweet, while oranges have a stronger citrus taste. However, organs tend to be juicier with pulp exploding in your mouth.
------
I guess you are asking for it. Your not suppose to compare apples with oranges.
It's kind of ironic. With piracy do prevalent in Taiwan, they are asking MS to release their source code. Within 6 hrs. after releasing it, you'll be able to get your very own copy for $5 (US).
Also, seems like the officials didn't know what he is talking about. How could open source help you get better firewall.
Please take this chance to educate yourselves. Dont' just go by what you read on the news, and what politicians are saying. Do some research and some critical thinking.

The Hagop Kevorkian Center at NYU was created in 1966 to support
the study of the modern Middle East and promote a more informed understanding
of the region. The activities of the Center focus on the contemporary
political economy and cultures of the area from North Africa to Central
Asia, and on the historical processes that have shaped the present.
With Princeton University, the Hagop Kevorkian Center maintains a
video catalogue of over 175 films and videotapes on the Middle East
and Islamic World which are lent free of charge to universities, colleges,
secondary and middle schools in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut). See http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/program/neareast/7_video_c atalogue.html
The Center is developing a series of Virtual Classrooms for teachers
with art guides, essays, and lesson plans. The first of these is entitled

I don't mind getting a few of those to use as firewall/DNS/router/web server. Currently, my firewall is an old P100, which is huge and I need a KVM switch to monitor it. Of course, putting one of these in every room in the house would be great too.
I don't see any network connection on this thing, i guess you would need a usb network card.
Things in the printed world is just as fragile. Also, it is less likely to have multiple copies. The danger of digital dark age is real, but so is the danger of "paper" dark age (natural disaster). The fragility is not more or less, but simply different.
I read the series about a year ago, it was quite entertaining. Since, it's been a while, I don't remember much of detail of the book, however, I do remember staying up late try to finish it (for each book it took me within 2 days to finish). Pullman does create a interesting world.
As a religious person, I was slightly disturbed by anti-organize-religion slant on of the book, though I would still recommend it to others. Like Dune, and many other fantasy novels, religion is a major component of the world being weaved by the authors.
The series also raised some metaphysic issues. Pullman created a world where a person is more then just one "being" (like the idea of mind, soul and spirit). In some worlds, the different beings of the same person manifest physically, while in some worlds, like ours, only one being is visible. The idea of a multifaceted personhood is intriguing.
Anyways, it's a enjoyable read. It would be fun if you get some friends to read it at the same time, so you can dialogue with them. Agreeing with the original post, though this book is marked as children book, it was entertaining for a 24 year old. If I had any kids, I don't know if I would let them read it until they are in high school. It's more adult then Tolkien's the Hobbit or Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia.

Some of this is not true:
2. coporate computers get upgraded every 2-3 years, they don't have exotic components.
3. coporate desktop does not require multimedia
4. there would be little extra peripheral (network printer, graphics department can do the scanning)
All they really need is office suite, browswer, and can print. Maybe an email client, but event that can be web based or imap based.
now if they can only figure out a solution for shrinkage, all will be good...

I love this... I remember those days of WordPerfect 5.0 in Dos. With the blue screen and reveal code. Ah...the wonder years...

They both have bright color. Apples come in red, green, and yellow, while oranges come in orange only. So, the win goes to apples.

my token's battery ran out at 2am. I guess i can only get to my stuff after the corner store opens.
I'm still waiting for my DOS refund from 10 years ago. They said they would send me the money, never got though.

There is something wrong with your english. Steep means hard/difficult, gentle means easy. Why the heck did you get a rating of 3 for this comment?
Anybody know the price for this thing, and where to buy it. I hate review articles that don't tell you these things.
It is a laptop, it's got a CPU and memory and screen, and it takes USB keyboard. More specs: http://www.dualscreen.com/specs.cfm
