Creating a Subversion working copy (checkout) involves a lot of irrelevant local disk overhead. Same thing for check in. Since import and export don't create a working copy you can measure the attribute this benchmark is looking at more accurately: how fast is svn at reading and writing binary files in its repository.
Can we just evolve to the all-electric car? Please?
The nearest outlet to my car is 50 yards away and up 5 flights of stairs. Assuming the city doesn't ticket me for stringing an extension cord across the sidewalk, and no neighborhood delinquents mess with it, 9 times out of ten, I can't even park on the same block as my house. Plug in cars are fine for houses in the suburbs where people have driveways with garages and such, but they're unworkable for a huge population of people.
The most appealing idea I've heard is using electricity to generate hydrogen to make methane and using the methane in a fuel cell or burning it directly.
How is saying you disagree with management bad mouthing? The post I was responding to stated that saying you left a job due to a disagreement with management made you unhireable. I provided an extreme counter example to show that such a generalization is insupportable.
All I'm saying is that it is totally legitimate to say "I left because management made a decision I couldn't work with. I felt that it was best for me to seek employment elsewhere." You're not even saying it was a bad decision. Incompatibilities aren't always someone's fault. It's a business relationship, not a marriage -- ending it shouldn't be a divorce.
If I'm interviewing somebody and they're telling me that they left their last job over a disagreement with Management, I'm thinking, "OK, so if we disagree when you're working here, you're either going to quit or I'm going to have to fire you."
So if management wants to put you into a soul crushing, career limiting, dead end job for which you are way over qualified, you'll just suck it up? What if you're asked to do something legal but morally reprehensible?
I worked with someone a few years ago who was way overburdened. She was basically being asked to play three roles for one salary (product, project and dev manager). She repeatedly asked for help and got none. So she left. Her boss discovered he didn't like doing three jobs any more than she did and shortly thereafter we got real project and product management. Should she be unemployable?
Every job is going to ask you to do some things you disagree with. Most of them you can live with. Go on record with your disagreement and move on. If it's something you can't live with, then you should leave. I'd prefer to have an employee with a backbone than one that's working at a job they hate because they won't stand by their principles. Besides, it's not like employers show any loyalty to workers these days. It's unfair for you to expect anything other than the same in return.
The bike path on the way to my work crosses about 10 streets. There's a crosswalk at each crossing. Makes sense to me. I agree he wasn't blameless if he was moving above pedestrian speeds.
Rise of the Triad also had dual wielding. It came out around the same time as Marathon, I think. I have no idea if one copied the other or if they thought of it independently. Give the existence of John Woo movies, I would say that it was inevitable.
I've been using Strip (Secure Tool for Remembering Important Passwords) for years on Palm. It keeps your passwords in an AES encrypted palm database with a master password. I like it over other PC-based password managers because I know that whether I sit down in front of a Windows, Linux, or Mac machine, I'll always be able to get at my passwords.
It's not liquor, but when I was 10 or so, my dad used to send me to the corner store with a note to buy butts and they never gave me any trouble. This was in the late 80s. I think it depends more on the disposition of the particular clerk and the degree of local enforcement than anything else. Ironicly, in high school, most of the kids I knew did "harder" drugs because booze was so hard to get and conceal.
There's also a big push to create RHIOs (Regional Health Information Organizations) so that facilities can exchange patient records directly. Ideally, your PCP would refer you somewhere, and you medical history would be waiting for the specialist to review at the hospital or clinic. See also IHE.
If it weren't for government regulation in the form of HIPAA we'd still be using 100 different proprietary interchange mechanisms to talk to insurance companies. Instead, everyone figured out how to do X12 or hired someone to do it for them. Also, hospitals that interact heavily with Medicaid tend to have better IT infrastructures because Medicaid insists on electronic interchange.
Replace it. The server should resync with the unit after one failed attempt (it will just ask you to enter the next code).
You don't replace the battery in a SecurID, you get a new fob issued when the battery dies. They're supposed to be tamper resistant, so I imagine it'd wipe its key if you tried to open one. They also have an expiration date printed on the back, after which they deactivate, presumably wiping the key first.
The GBA is no longer the hottest handheld, but it continues to move over 120k units per month. This puts it just behind the PSP and just ahead(!) of the PS3. I think people buy the GBA because it's cheap, obtainable (still iffy finding a DS in stores), and has a great back catalog. You probably won't see new AAA titles on the GBA, but it's still a great casual gaming platform or gift for a younger sibling who's too young to care what platform they play Pokemon on.
How does a predilection for cancer due to vitamin D deficiency translate into a selectable trait? Cancer typically strikes after your childbearing years, after you've already passed the "defective" gene on to your offspring.
...developers needed to use the internally-created text editor. It actually made vi look user-friendly.
Hehe, that sounds suspiciously like my first job. I actually worked with someone who helped write that editor. I left M behind years ago, but I think it's made me a stronger person. Heres to anyone who still has nightmares about encountering X @X in the middle of a routine!
One of the key checks on government power has always been the expense of monitoring its citizens. The ubiquity of information technology has caused a precipitous drop in the cost of monitoring. Consequently, the balance of power is shifting away from citizens and towards the government. Maybe that's what everyone wants, but if it isn't, we should be looking at either restricting the government's use of technology to spy on citizens (stronger privacy laws), or reducing the penalties associated with minor violations.
Lately, the telecom companies have started hinting that they might start charging for optimal delivery. That is that CNN's website, having paid for premium delivery with your ISP, will have 8x the bandwidth available to you as, for instance, youtube.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
What I would find troubling would be if my ISP throttled YouTube down to 1/8x the effective bandwidth they previously had available, because they DIDN'T pony up a "premium delivery fee". That's protection money, and would surely run the ISP afoul of existing racketeering laws.
There's no difference. Let's say you have a 2Mbps pipe. As it stands now, if you wanted to, you could receive a 1Mbps feed from YouTube and a 1 Mbps feed from CNN at the same time. (For simplicity's sake we'll ignore network overhead).
Now what happens if CNN pays your ISP to deliver their content at 1.5Mbps? Answer - whenever you visit CNN all your other traffic has to get crammed into 512kbps. That 1Mbps YouTube video starts skipping. If you fully utilize your connection, your ISP can't throttle up CNN without throttling everything else down.
That situation will suck because there will be nothing you can do about it. The average person won't even be aware why it's happening. They'll just conclude "YouTube is slow" and move on to a competitor that pays the protection money. Even if you are aware, what would you be able to do? You are a $/mo "consumer" and CNN is a $$$$$/mo "business partner"
The neutral, end-to-end nature of the internet is what separates it from being just another cable TV. Right now you are not just a consumer, you are the ISP's customer. But if ISPs are allowed to distort that relationship, you'll become just another pair of eyeballs for the service provider to deliver to their new real customers -- the content producers and their advertisers.
If it is an electrolytic capacitor, you just have to look at it. Electrolytic caps are typically the little can-like components with two legs. If it's swollen, the top is split, or there is brown crud on or around it, then it has probably been venting electrolyte.
If you are interested in an empirical test, you need to measure the cap's equivalent series resistance (ESR) and capacitance and see if it matches specs. If you have a nice multimeter it will be able to measure capacitance, but you'll probably need a separate ESR meter. A good cap will have a pretty low ESR (usually under 1 ohm) and a capacitance within 50% of it's rated value.

Yeah, sounds more like a sting than a raid.

Sweet, I saw it in NYC a while ago? Are you getting tickets in the splatterzone?

My guess:

Since variable interpolation happens before regular expression matching, it would match the contents of element 123 in array @foo.
This is pretty easy to test:

I've had dock.net for three years and they're fantastic. I've only had to call them once. And I've only had a few downtimes that I've noticed.
And step 2.5: Spend half an hour fixing file names and tags.
Nevertheless, I avoid the iTunes store except for disposable stuff that I know I won't want to listen to in 5 years.

Also, in some places, Boston, for example, the public transit system is uninsured. So if they hit you, you have to sue them!
