Are you serious? It might not be legal, but it is physically possible and does take place quite often. Maybe it's you who should take his head out of his ass (or make some friends).
Like anyone under 30 will ever see the benefits of their Social Security payments. Social Security is more akin to a ponzi scheme than to a legitimate social program.
If that's the best argument you have (honestly, there are many, many good ones out there) then you are in trouble.
You may very well be right. How many guys do you know who work 60-120+ hour weeks (yet still get paid based on a 40 hour week) because their management places unfair expectations on them?
Managers can approach the situation in a number of ways. Hey, you don't want to work 120 hours a week? We'll get someone who will. You have a wife and kids or a life? We'll get someone who doesn't. A stable, reasonable, and fair union could bring this type of garbage to a halt.
The problem is that we have all seen too many unions exploit companies and meddle in politics far too often. Those types of abuses have left a bad taste in many people's mouths and, therefore, it's unlikely a techie union will ever get off the ground.
Say hello to everyone up in Mobilehoma. Watch out for those tornadoes on your way to the monster truck rally. I hear those trailer parks are just like funnel cloud magnets or something.
The department does not suck. The problem is that you have a network/UNIX jockey mad because he had to do some real work.
I got my BS in Comp Sci from A&M and I didn't really appreciate the education I was getting from there until I got out and worked with people who didn't know anything other than language semantics and technology.
Most of the malcontents at A&M and every other department end up malcontents at whatever company they work for because so-and-so boss/teacher/admin is always an idiot.
You are completely wrong. 75% of South Africa is black and only 13% is white. You can verify this at here. The South African government is run by a black president and is truly multiracial. Apartheid was, most certainly, a disgusting and oppressive regime but South Africa was a much more stable, safe, and hospitable place prior to its fall. The apartheid government wouldn't allow black South Africans to purchase alcohol but since that has been done away with, South Africa has succumbed to an incredible level of crime and is now #1 in the world in fetal alcohol syndrome.
It'd probably be in your best interests to check your facts before you lambast people to "do a little research so you don't look uneducated."
Actually it is not specifically mentioned that some segment of creation was done in a day. Put yourself in Moses' shoes and then try to read Genesis 1 as an account of what was revealed to him. For example:
Genesis 1:3-5
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day.
So Moses sees God commanding the creation of light and allowing for the absence of light. Then Moses' day ends. The next day, another aspect of creation is revealed to him. Then his day ends.
This isn't necessarily the correct way Genesis is intended to be understood but the wording of Genesis seems to suggest that something other than the traditional interpretation is going on.
Secret sharing, which was invented independently by Blakely (the guy I studied under) and Shamir.
In a nutshell: Encrypt the password using the "secret" as the key and store it somewhere safe. Then disperse the secret key value to multiple individuals, who must combine their information to retrieve the true secret key. You can do a variety of things with it, such as dispersing it to n individuals but only x n individuals must collude to extract that secret.
You can keep your symmetruc key on that same machine but you'll have a number of different options as to how to keep that symmetric key safe. One way I've found useful is to use a SALT, as described in the article. A SALT is a very large number which, once blended with a keyphrase produces a Key Encryption Key (KEK) that you can use to encrypt and decrypt your session key. Your keyphrase can be any of a number of things, from a dynamically entered password to another piece of information from the database (say a table name or DOB of a dummy record).
A new SALT is generated every time you want to re-encrypt your session key, helping you prevent precomputations (and therefore brute force attacks/dictionary attacks). The SALT can be stored locally or even on another machine in the clear. It is merely there to add entropy to your KEK. If it is stored on another machine, it could be on a machine segmented away from your network and could be retrieved via a VPN from your database server.
The key of this scheme is that you have dispersed your keys and you can then use machine security, network security, whatever to aid you in helping keep individuals' credit card data secret.

Are you gay or something? Good grief.

The stock market can have other returns, such as share profit and splits.
Couldn't have done it better myself.

Newsflash: You are not as brilliant as you think you are. Get over yourself.
Many linux advocates want everyone to admit linux is superior but they don't really want everyone to use it.
The only class that I know of that Hurley has taught in the last 5 years is the intro class. He's the CS undergrad advisor.

A Red Raider dissing a football team on Slashdot. I've seen it all.
Postage went up July 1st by the way. Maybe Leach should pay back all of that gas money he jacked to pay for all of his trips to the liquor store.
Yup. You Longhorns keep pushing the envelope and we Aggies will be forced to up the ante out of pride and necessity. It'll always make us both better.

How big is Kuwait exactly?
He predicted that the Gulf conflict would have devastating effects on the temperature of the entire world...so his prediction was incorrect.
Sounds like more fear mongering from environmentalists. Carl Sagan, anyone?
You are correct. Also, if it weren't for viruses and hackers, all of those network jockeys would be selling pencils on the street.
It appears that maliciousness and incompetence make the world go round!

Jews show reverence to God by referring to him as G-d.
