First anyone who says a statistical theory is a fact makes me skeptical. It is a theory based on statistics from data collected and analyzed and can be very accurate or very inaccurate depending on diligence in the collection of data. Doesn't matter, I still own an electric lawn mower because I know that the exhaust from a gas mower has carbon monoxide which is toxic. (no accidental carbon monoxide poisoning when the kid starts the lawn mower in the shed, I know I'm messing with natural selection). I don't disagree with "save the planet, we might need it later" I just think there are better arguments to be had.
That's just silly. I might as well say "My experience is that the people with most knowledge of Linux also have experience with assembly. I do not think it wise to let someone who can't write a boot loader try to fix a Debian box."
Nifty. I wander if any of my friends have AV on their linux boxes I know they have a working versions of Wine. Now I'm curious to see if any of them have malware running in wine.
A well installed and configured version of Wine works a lot better than it used to and I know plenty of people who have it on their linux box so they can play their favorite windows only games. I would not be surprised if the Mac or Linux versions could execute windows based malware with similar results to windows.
Writers have placed hidden meaning into their work to express opinions that are not socially accepted or possibly illegal for a very long time. In order to actually understand what any of it means you must first have foreknowledge of the writer, their culture, common issues of the time, and imagery. Even then unless the writer has later explained these things then you will probably never know if those hidden messages were really ever there. Grading someone on it means your teachers/professors were not very good at their profession.
When your IT admins sends out an email with a word doc attachment (because if it were anything else you wouldn't know what to do with it) that has multiple screen shots in it and lots of words that is called a walk through. It means they are tired of you calling for the same "how to/walk through" every single day. They might post it in a knowledge base and send an email letting you know it's there but then you would have to call and ask them to reset your password for the knowledge base every single day. Then they would freak out and start mumbling to themselves as they bang their head against the desk, because they already tried slipping some ginkgo into the water fountain and you still can't remember your password.
I've played Mario, Donkey Kong, and legend of zelda and I enjoyed them, especially legend of zelda. The wikipeadia article on NP-Hard is so poorly written using broken circular logic I really have no clue what they were trying to express.
I know there are people out there who feel they are entitled to use company provided equipment any way they want and are ready to circumvent safeguards put in place to protect that equipment in any way they can. Don't do it get your own equipment, if the company is security conscious like were I work then it is likely you will be caught, terminated, no unemployment, and no references. (Not all companies are like that, but I have seen it to many times to count. I've even seen some get prison time, because what they were doing wasn't legal company equipment or not.)
oh wow!... Wives/Girlfriends that feel like their significant other does not give them attention because of video games might actually bye those and regret it after about 4 hours.
As a Kansas resident I am offended. Yes, our nut bags are better at catching press than your's but that doesn't make any other places nut bags less crazy.
I can see the IT Department on the front lawn doing calisthenics before work. It may not help productivity but it sure would help moral at least for those watching not the ones that get injured.
Valentine's day is just a little to convenient. I wander if there are a couple of developers from both companies chuckling at each other. I know I have pulled pranks on friends and co-workers before. {I would not however want to answer to the boss when my prank hit the news}
Bach's Well-Temper Clavier set the stage for modern tonality but it wasn't until much later that it became a standard and artists like Fredrick Chopin carried it around as the ultimate reference and even today. Yes, we don't even tune our instruments in the same manner as Beethoven so I can only imagine what it would have sounded like with slightly flat fifths.
I have thought about switching to mornings but honestly drop the kid off at school at 7:50 get to the gym by at 8:00 30-40 minute work out shower and I need to be to work by 9:00 just makes for a bad morning.
Apple does make some fine products. However in the past decade they did not reinvent the home computing market and neither did their competitors which I find sad because I was really hoping someone would.
You did miss one thing that Apples does very well... Brand marketing!
Almost all of my family and friends a couple are even mac users, just use their computers to store pictures and music, check email, facebook, watch a video on youtube, play silly web based games, search for product reviews and possibly make an online purchase. This really wouldn't require very much horse power and I really don't know anyone that actually uses all the horse power under their computer's hood (except the one friend that has that warcrack addiction we should probably stage an intervention).
I was handed a stapler and a box of staples and asked to write detailed instructions that anyone could understand on how to load staples into the stapler at an interview. I imagine that they were looking for someone with good communication skills. That was my first job out of college desktop support.
This really sounds like a feature request. I want to filter my searches in a way that is not provided and get information in the results that is not provided. I don't know what to say I'm faced with apps everyday that don't have all the features I would like and is weighted down with features I never use. I would have submitted it to the manufacture not/.
She manages a convenience store for a small family owned company that has about a dozen convenience stores and liquor stores the only way she will get a raise at this point or a promotion is to marry into it. I wish she did something else but she fell into that position after having a couple laminectomies and needed a job where she didn't need to lift, stand, or walk.
My philosophy is that if you have an important problem you will call. If you email or text me it is not life or death and can wait until I am in the office. Something my wife and I do not have in common, her employees text her multiple times a night, and she always responds immediately. It's the equivalent of standing over an eternal trainee telling them how to do their work. Occasionally I joke with her and say things like "Did they forget how to button their pants? Going to the bathroom is tricky". In the end they will never be self sufficient because she never let's them figure things out on their own.
If your talking about a company issued laptop it will accept more than one user logging in even if it is biometric and each user will have different permissions if your talking about your personal laptop you should have already created an elevated account that you don't use normally and a more restricted account that you use daily. As for email I would set an out of office reply and ask if someone had an emergency that they forward the issue to a trusted college that would be filling in for me while I'm on vacation deep in the jungle since that is about the only place on the planet I can't check my email.
I think this will be more convenient for those working people that would like to continue their education for it's own sake. The only thing that holds me back from taking courses I am simply interested in is time and scheduling. I think the class room environment is about more than learning a subject and would prefer the opportunity to interact and and share ideas with peers as well. The online experience is not going to provide that interaction and for a young person just starting their education I would recommend the class room setting if reasonably possible.

Wine and Crossover can run all kinds of windows software, not always with the same results as windows, but none the less they can be executed.

"Something very bad happened!" I've seen avg throw that error when one of the settings files became corrupt and it was unable to read or write to it.

I must go to the wrong gym there is nothing but a bunch old guys jogging on the tread mill and taking their pulse.
