I was at this zoo last May and do remember the lion house as they call it with the tiger enclosures. The tigers (including the one in this situation) were just lying about or walking around. The moat does look fairly deep and the fence is very close to the moat edge. It would take some severe irritation to get one of them to take the time to try to escape and attack you. There are benches right behind the fence and I felt in no danger at all...but I wasn't intoxicated and taunting them either. Also, getting down into the moat from the grass is a big drop and the tigers didn't see interested in going down there. I also could not see how the tiger could get much of a running jump in the moat. I imagine their taunting must have enraged it to the point that the massive andrenaline rush gave it the boost it needed. Pure anecdotal evidence, but that is what I noticed there last year.
Is this truly a good thing. Are US patents even valid outside the US (ie international treaties that govern patents)? There seems to be a big difference between using R&D to come up with commercially-viable products and generating patents of ideas that may or may not be viable.
I admit I was a Caldera employee back when they purchased SCO and left Tarantella alone. The first thing that happened was most of the Utah-based employees were replaced by employees from CA. The company that was once Caldera was gutted after the acquisition and replaced by SCO. I left shortly thereafter and my department was laid off 6 months after I left, and was replaced by SCO's equivalent. It is unfortunate to see my former employer slammed all over the news, but the reality is that those who worked hard on Caldera's Linux distribution were removed after the buyout. The SCO Group has nothing to do with the old Caldera, other than retaining the geographic location.
How do they differentiate terrorists from people like me who are naturally nervous when flying? there is a large subset of the population that have a fear of flying and will look nervous and fearful when in an airport.
Oddly enough, they are looking for.NET programmers here. Also note that their development is in New Delhi. Perhaps the Indians don't realize the type of company they are working for?
No, you are not the only company doing that. We, too, run our most critical production machines on RHEL, and use CentOS for everything else. That gives us standardization across the entire company, as well as support for our critical boxes. Leaving CentOS alone definitely works to Red Hat's advantage.
4.1.1 Members of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict and members of militias of such armed forces
Seems like they are members of a militia of a Party to the conflict.
They also do carry arms openly. As for respecting the laws and customs of war, perhaps that could be defined? They do follow the customs of war. As for laws, seems those go out the window with all parties in a conflict.
Because the US is supposed to hold the high moral ground? And beyond that, they don't want the constitution destroyed, they want us to end our relationship with Israel so it can be removed from existence.
Doesn't matter. You should look at the actual treaty:
Article 4 defines prisoners of war to include:
* 4.1.1 Members of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict and members of militias of such armed forces
* 4.1.2 Members of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements, provided that they fulfill all of the following conditions:
o that of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;
o that of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance (there are limited exceptions to this among countries who observe the 1977 Protocol I);
o that of carrying arms openly;
o that of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.
* 4.1.3 Members of regular armed forces who profess allegiance to a government or an authority not recognized by the Detaining Power.
* 4.1.4 Civilians who have non-combat support roles with the military and who carry a valid identity card issued by the military they support.
* 4.1.5 Merchant marine and the crews of civil aircraft of the Parties to the conflict, who do not benefit by more favourable treatment under any other provisions of international law.
* 4.1.6 Inhabitants of a non-occupied territory, who on the approach of the enemy spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading forces, without having had time to form themselves into regular armed units, provided they carry arms openly and respect the laws and customs of war.
* 4.3 makes explicit that Article 33 takes precedence for the treatment of medical personnel of the enemy and chaplains of the enemy.
$100,000 - $150,000 for an MCSE network admin? It is widely known that many contractors hire people based on clearances, not skills. It is also widely known that they pay very inflated salaries for having a clearance. So, you have a large army of contractors, of which many are unqualified for their jobs. Couple that with record profits for defense contractor companies (meaning a dot com bubble style for defense employment), and you have a situation ripe for mistakes. Just my $0.02.
The Webinject tool is popular among those using Nagios for testing web functionality. The owner has not done any upgrades in quite some time. Might be a worthwhile to look at working on.
Slightly offtopic, but did anyone notice one of the other articles beneath this one? It appears that Sony has cut out the adult film industry from putting titles on Blu Ray. Here is it.
I just left the civil service, working in DoD. I saw plenty of contractors, including the security teams ( security and accreditation process people) have complete ignorance of technology. They were hired because they held a 3C0 AFSC (if that) and a clearance. Their idea of security is running off of a checklist, with no thought given to new exploits in the wild. The checklists usually ran something like: 1. Antivirus up to date? 2. No Guest User? etc. These same people have caused there to be plenty of NT 4.0 servers still running as domain controllers. For that matter, there were plenty of individuals in the civil service who also were not IT people, but working in an IT capacity.

That's easy:

Where I work, managers get a larger bonus and more pay. That does provide incentive, especially when you have been working in IT for some time.

This Toshiba is going for 199 at Best Buy for an HD-DVD player.
I am waiting for these to come down in price. It reminds me of the +/- war, it forces the mainstream customers to wait for dual-format players.
You may be thinking of this.
You may have a case against them. Check your rights and see if you have a case.

You mean this?
Rather amusing, the last Multics in use was with the Canadian military. See here.
next step: we arrest anyone that likes shop class or chemistry ... they could be supporting the terrorists in the future.
Already a step ahead of you...

Probably RAID 0...MS needed a few stripes.
Money is not that good? I tend to disagree...

Central America does use americano for Americans. However, South America mostly uses norteamericanos (North Americans) to refer to people in the USA.
Oddly enough...Caldera started as a Canopy Group company...and fell under the Ray Noorda umbrella. Not sure if SCO still falls under the Canopy Group.

Does this make it a good thing to be banished to Siberia? If not, what are they saying about their high-tech workers?
