AT&T's core business is telecom, not renting real estate. Real estate requires a whole bunch of lawyers and employees that aren't required for running a phone system. Companies that try to profit off things that aren't really related to their business tend to have trouble competing with companies that focus on an area.
Maybe this doesn't exist in the US, but here we have places that advertise 'we do your taxes, you get your refund right away'. I assume that they do your taxes, give you the cash minus a fee, and set your refund to be deposited in their account. If that type of business exists then it wouldn't throw up any flags to have a bunch of returns done at once going to the same account.
They tore off the handle, and you replaced the entire door panel? And then you paid some paint shop to do a professional job on a 7-year-old car? Can you call me the next time you need your computer fixed? I'm sure I can find something to charge you a couple grand for...
That was my thought. He mentions Nokia, but I have yet to see a BlackBerry with a 'made in China' sticker on it, so far I've seen Mexico and Canada. How about he actually list some major manufacturers and why they, in particular, are worse than Apple.
Sure. Abolish copyrights, and there'll be no NEED for the GPL.
That may apply to BSD somewhat, but without copyright the viral nature of the GPL is no more. There would be nothing to force people modifying and distributing to release their changes.
So how did you get the SSH keys onto the server in the first place? If it was via physical access then of course your ISP can't MITM it, since it wasn't in the middle when you sent the keys. I'm talking about encryption based around RSA, PGP, SSL, or SSH. All of these require some method of getting your public key to the person you want to communicate with, and if you're sending it over your ISP then it is possible for your ISP to intercept it and MITM your communication channel, rendering your encryption useless. I'm not saying ISPs are doing this, I'm saying it would be possible for them to, and that that is the definition of an MITM attack and that nothing FaceBook is doing would qualify as an MITM, since FaceBook isn't in the middle in the first place - it's the end point.
Any encryption that requires key exchanges to set up the encryption is vulnerable. If you want to be really paranoid then you could assume that your ISP also modifies your browser executable when you download it to inject it's own CA so that even that level of security is gone. This is why those RSA keyfobs are used for VPN in large companies - it provides a shared key in a way that your ISP can't intercept to set up the encrypted connection.
Exactly. Cable TV was once ad-free. That was why you paid money for it. Then they stated adding advertisements. Now it's as bad as over-the-air TV, and yet people keep sending money. The same thing would happen with a paid version of Facebook.
Except that the source of the term 'Man in the Middle' is from a type of attack that your ISP could use to read your encrypted communication for any type of encryption that relies on public key exchanges. Facebook can only see the messages I send to facebook, it would be a pretty damn useless service if it couldn't.
If you've been working for at least 5 years your undergrad marks don't matter so much for grad school. If you can get a couple of work references you may find that getting in is possible, despite your undergrad situation (assuming you graduated at all, of course)
That seems like a silly rule to produce more lawyers. What's the difference between you paying me a good wage to work for you long-term, or you paying me an arm and a leg to work for you short-term? Isn't the whole point that the lawyer's interest is that of his client?
Stop the hyperbole. 1984 had cameras in every room in every house, and televisions broadcasting propaganda 24/7 that couldn't be turned off. Entrapment was both legal and encouraged to catch people breaking the law. If you want to put a soundproof room in your house to have a place you can guarantee you can't be snooped on no one is going to stop you. No one is going to arrest you for reading a history or politics book, even if it is about how great communism is. Even if you go grab a copy of the Anarchists Cookbook and get arrested for it no one is going to try to torture you into loving America while you're in prison. Anyone who thinks we're in 1984 hasn't read 1984.
Then they assign it to themselves and set it to 'in development' in the tracking system. A PM or manager can be informed of roadblocks any time, assuming you can't fix them yourself, and anyone who waits is a fool.
Frankly that would be about as useful as most development standups I've been in. I know what you did, I saw the notice that you checked a feature into main and I saw that you moved a ticket into 'ready for QA' in the same project I'm working on. I really don't need to hear you say it. And if you wait 24 hours to fix a roadblock due to when a meeting is scheduled then you've waited at least 23 hours too long for my liking.
I'm reasonably certain you're not my manager, I don't think he's up to 15 years yet, but in any case let me say THANK YOU from someone who greatly appreciates having a boss that thinks this way:)
End of the day for me is 4:00PM. For some of my coworkers it's 5:00, for some it's 7:00. One of the biggest problems with these meetings is that whenever you schedule them you're interrupting work for someone, even if you try to time it when people are just starting or finishing up for the day.

He is unelectable outside his base support group.
Is there a Republican candidate that doesn't describe?

That only makes sense, after all the GPL is the viral license!

Assuming it's self-learning, after a few days of YouTube comments I'm not sure it would qualify as an 'intelligence' any more.
That's a good thing, right? Keeps other companies from being stupid?

The idea of a school censoring the web is a lot more disturbing than a private business...
In the US is there a difference between a school and a private business?

I don't know anyone that did a free internship as a developer. Most interns in this industry are quite well paid.

If it's a meeting you can't skip, that must be done standing up, that has a very set list of things each person must cover, I would call that process.
Those probably aren't cameras, they're sensors that see the strobe lights on top of fire trucks so they can turn green for the fire truck.

As I recall, of the 4 major points, one was 'people over process'. Guess which of those 2 things regular meetings are.
