It is likely that certain countries who dispute the DNS entries will just hijack that domain for local use. Such disagreements will lead to sub-domains and somewhat splinter the Internet.
This is just selfish money grabbing by corporate giants and does not serve public interests.
It would be nice if the cited quotation actually came from the article. I wondered, seeing if the facts of the quotation are actually wrong. There may be creeping, in some sense. But the northern hemisphere is already pretty green. Perhaps the creeping is toward(s) the arctic.
Point taken - somewhere along the line take-down notices must have become nerdy. I just can't see why any more. Essentially anything "big brother" must have become nerdy. Perhaps we should reopen 9/11 events and spend the day discussing them instead. Get that guy Alex Jones involved. Perhaps have one of those "Ask 10 questions of..." sessions for him... etc etc.
Wood and trees anyone?
Where has all the tech news gone? Short ints passing. Garbage collected, every one. When will they ever deallocate?
Sung to the tune of "Where have all the flowers gone?"
If one argued that DNS is the root of all web links then perhaps that too should be removed. That would show them how to completely disconnect them from the web.
This seems to be the majority of America. Insufficient of the population seem to care about the current political situation and even less think that they can actually do anything to fix it and even if they do most of them don't really understand enough about politics to see through the disinformation provided by the political parties.
It seems Huxley has already predicted corporate run America.
Fox News (and others) diluted news is just part of the issue. Quality is missing. Capitalism ultimately leads to mediocrity.
I have to say that you both have points. jQuery can make things easier. BUT. It has huge memory leaks which will bite you really badly if you use it a lot.
I too have my own set of libraries for most things and still use them just because of the issues around jQuery.
I still use jQuery for some things though. The time consuming part was determining which parts area actually safe to use.
Obviously, the library software and data needs to be backed up. Nothing new there.
But who is going to back you up? Whatever is installed needs to allow for the fact that one day you wont be there when it breaks. You are on vacation, or have moved away or something.
There have been many interesting posts throughout this stream, but no-one has as yet mentioned requirements analysis. Yes, you could say that you have engineers to perform this task, but perhaps you need to analyse from a different perspective, that of the business perspective.
So learn to ask "Why?" a lot and find the real objectives for a task. If you know the reasons, then you can prevent frustration in the ranks. So take a requirements analysis course.
So now you need to know.
What do you want us to do? What is the issue? What is the objective which the issue is preventing us from reaching?
Digital TV in the US is of such low broadcast quality that we were almost better off with analog. Why (rhetorical) is the image quality in Europe so superior to ours in the US.
I read the articles, and it's possible I missed something, but how far away from the existing land masses is the eruption and in which direction? All I saw was a vague mention of "South" at some point.
This is too obvious and therefore likely wrong. But when an animal jumps from tree to tree (vague thoughts of Monty Python "Swinging from tree to tree") it holds it's arms out. When a runner jumps a long gap, s/he continues to pedal the legs as if there is something to pedal on. The arms being out stretched would, initially, be of little aerodynamic value but, with a little evolution here and there, would soon be of advantage to the animal enabling it to leap further if they had some extra skin attached under the arms. How much further of a leap is it to assume that an evolved, small aerodynamic surface would benefit the next round, or that moving the limbs, like we humans do in a long jump, would assist the "jump"?
That could largely depend on where the degree came from and what it was. Your experience clearly differs from mine. Where I come from a engineering degree.
The issue with certifications from IT companies is that there are very few standards which regulate them. Essentially, all they mean is that you turned up and probably passed a test. If you have not used this knowledge since then the certificate is as good a useless. If you have that degree from a reputable school then that already speaks to your ability. Now you have to be convincing of the specific skills.
Generalizations are impossible. There are so many areas of IT which require skills that you will never acquire in a classroom that the only way to see if a candidate is worth their salt is an interview. Here we come to your point of actually reaching the interview stage. The US is a country which largely works on a "who you know" basis. Networking is very important here. This differs in other countries. As someone who regularly reviews resumes for candidates I am shocked by the poor quality of the literacy in the resume and also the incorrect use of technical names, abbreviations and acronyms (and people who have no idea what this last word actually means). You can judge a great deal about the candidate from their resume. Do not try to use terms with which you are not 100% familiar. It is incredible the number of resumes from candidates who will incorrectly use terms because they are not proficient and try to over fill the skill section.
Hopefully, if you are looking to move to an organization worth moving to, they will have good staff at the interview. If the position is looking for a particular proficiency and you don't have it then of course you are at a disadvantage. But an employer will consider paying less for someone who is bright, hard working and thinks the right way.
Specific skill sets can be easily acquired in most circumstances. General skills can take a lifetime to acquire.
Have your resume edited by someone else. Please. Then find someone who can deliver it to the right person. This is your best chance of getting an interview.

"Journey to the Center of the Earth". Lot's of movies to be watched after and referred to in other movies.
Agreed. If you don't play 3D games then an old PC is just fine. Why buy a new one?

Perhaps he means the possession of a CD in the binary sense.
Either you have one in your hand, or you don't (the bush ate it).
But yes, the content of the CD is digital. The actual disc exists in the real world.

For the life of me I am trying to determine why this is on /.
It must be a slow tech news day. Sunday - sigh.

It sounds like Arthur C Clarke's work ;-)

Or can I go out side with a Sonic Screwdriver and land one on my lawn?
These drones will make it very tricky to plan the next revolution.

How can they ban this?
Thanks!

Anyone?
Is this the same question?
Over time, many alternatives keep popping up. Each time they still fail to gain traction.
