Wouldn't fitting the paper under a tight clear-plastic vest do the trick?
I'd have to assume, "if they could of, they would of." The Tour rules probably state the race number must be fixed to your back. Here's an excerpt from the Tour website:
Article 2 - Riders' identification
Riders must affix the number plates to the front of their bicycle frames and wear two riders' numbers (small format) exactly over their hips, one on the right and one on the left side.
Mainly because I don't have a job now, I'm working towards certification in two areas. Before I get into that, my background includes a bachelor's in electrical engineering and 8 years of experience in the software industry. So I have a foundation to add the certificates too, as a job applicant I'm not trying to push the certs as my primary experience.
That said, I'm working towards certification in both C++ and UML. The former I have experience debugging, but I'm not (or rather, wasn't) comfortable designing with. The latter is to help with OO knowledge and design. The certificates are through the University of Washington, not some technical school of questionable reputation. The amount of work for these classes is on par with standard 3-5 credit engineering courses. I know Sally Struthers can't offer anything comporable, which is why I wouldn't settle for certification from a non-major university.
Do I believe the certs are *necessary* for me to get a job? No, if Seattle had a decent job market I could land a job pretty quick (I've gotten response from San Jose/Portland, I'm just not willing to relocate yet). But really I need some resume fodder to keep me looking busy, employers don't like long gaps of unactivity in a candidate.
On top of that, after being out of college for 8 years it's about time to go back and take some classes to brush up on technologies I didn't study in college. Note that I said classes, not certification. Really, their is no reason to get certification for everything and if only a single class is relevant to your discipline.
Summing it up, classes from major university == good. Certification is not necessarily required and may in fact be overkill. Certification is not a substitute for real experience/education.
I've got to pull an me too in agreement. The combo of LaTeX and CVS is excellent. Unfortunately it's not going to be the "killer app" among office execs. But really it's their loss-- comments, solid cross references, etc etc. I've even keep my resume in latex/cvs with branches for different version of it.
I fully agree with doing a backup instead of setting up a RAID. Either use rsync, or perhaps unison, depending on your use case.
For myself, I've got my/home mirrored between my laptop and desktop machines. I use unison to keep the both in sync. On the rare occasion I accidentally delete a file, it's good to know I can still fetch another copy from the other machine.
that's one more job filled here that didn't go to me. If you're going to send people up to the Pacific Northwest send up unskilled folks so I can compete. For example, that Encyclopedia Britannica kid won't cramp my style one bit. Send him up instead.
the best way to overcome shutter lag is to manually focus. Using manual focus on a digital camera the shutter lag, while still not as good as a fully manual film camera, isn't that bad.
Figuring out how to use the manual focus and prefocusing on a digital camera is left as an exercise to the reader.
Sorry, but I'm gunna have to call the cops. Letting your kids learn VB is obvious neglect. You should have beaten the tar out of him when he installed Visual Studio -- even if he wanted to do C++.
I doubt you could beat the tar out of Visual Studio, I don't think Microsoft have picked up the.tar.gz way of doing things.
... They don't care nearly as much as you think about the brand or name of digital cameras...
So you're saying, after they spent $5000+ for a manufacturer's line of lenses, they don't mind droping that investment and going with an entirely new line of camera/lens? I find that very hard to believe. Perhaps they already have a line of Canon and Nikon lenses, but your post doesn't make that clear. Most people invest in the lenses, the camera body comes second.
This has been done with Fluke multimeters, and I'm many hundreds of other consumer devices. Truth of the matter is, you spend your R&D to make an uber-device, then dumb it down to various consumer pricing levels. It's a fairly common tactic. Why spend extra R&D on redesigning something you already did?
Actually, you weren't. You were reading from your friends material, true, but because you were reading it, learning/digesting it, and rewriting it in your own words, you were not plagiarizing it.
Sure he was learning, but he never cited his sources. If his bibliography included his friends paper, then it'd be kosher.
Actually 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 unless I can't remember multiplication as well as I think I can. This translates to 6.25%.
it's actually worse than that. Suppose you've got 3/5 for a clubs flush. Their are 10 remaining clubs in the now 47 card deck. Odds of getting a single club are now 10/47. To get the last one the odds are 9/46. Multiplied together this is about 4%.

NEVER, think that reading one or two books will make anyone an expert on anything, let alone on such a complex topic as programming. I personally never stop learning.
That's only because the current crop of programming languages are so complex. Browsing my bookshelf got seven books on C++. Why? The language requires lots of details, C++ has a decent size library, and overall is rather complex.
Then I scan my shelf for books on C and I only find one: the K&R book, 2nd edition. It's the only book I need for C.
But I don't think things have to be this way, Perl is a fairly advanced language and it only requires a single book.
when are we going to see a dual Athlon FX board? Does FX even support SMP? I'd put money down if I could get today's equivalent of an Athlon MP system from two years ago.
Athlon MP pooped out with the MP 2800, the Opteron are very server-ish, so gimme a good ole SMP Athlon FX system, thank you very much.
Best Buy is fun-- I needed a crossover ethernet cable, went to Best Buy and asked the sales drone where they were. After finding them I gawked at the $30 price tag for a 10' cable. I said something about how I could get a crimper, cable and do it myself for that price.
His response, "if you know how to use a crimper you shouldn't even be in Best Buy!"
Most of the larger/more reputable tax packages are already phasing in web-based clients alongside or in place of their shrinkwrap offerings. This will become a non-issue for the Wine team before very long.
I agree that web-based clients are a good thing from a portability standpoint. But let me dawn my tinfoil hat and disagree with web applications for my financial data. Do you really want Some Random Webserver(tm) to have access to all your tax data? I don't care if they use SSL, some machine out of your control will be decrypting and storing a database of your finances.
Canadian inventor Troy Hurtubise spent 10 years perfecting the Ursus Mark-VI suit of armour, which is made of chain mail, galvanized steel, titanium, high-tech plastic, and liquid rubber.
If had just used chain mail +5 he wouldn't need to use steel, titanium, etc.
It's well known that smaller sensors provide a greater depth of field. This page has links to multiple articles explaining depth of field with regard to digital cameras/small sensors.

yup, Quake3 was SMP capable. But some Quake3 engine games, notably Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Enemy Territory, don't support SMP.
Whether Doom3 will be SMP capable is another question.

ah, you're right, of course. Thanks for pointing it out, I hadn't considered that case.
wouldn't "([^&]*)\&" be a little more portable/readable than "(.*?)\&" ?
Here's a hint: don't store valuables in your mailbox. Inside your house, especially a safe, is a better location.
