People skills are really the most valuable skills anyone can have. If you work really hard but no one likes you, you will likely be one of the first people laid off if a crunch hits. Even people with less skill than you are more likely to stay if they have made friends with others at work.
Same in the US, though I'm not sure of the years requirement. I do know you can't get a PE until you have real experience. And not having a PE will drastically limit your opportunities and job capabilities.
My biggest issue would be if there is too much information. What if the scientists are using the wrong search queries and missing something important? Or maybe something important is just buried on page 931 of a 2,000 page data report.
Still, it's better than the opposite problem, of just not having the data to search.
I really like my local Borders. It's much better than the B&N. I've probably bought 200 books there over the last 5 years. Not to mention a few hundred coffees. I suspected this was going to happen after the first round of closings a few months back, though. I hope the workers all find good jobs, as they've been great with me when I shopped there.
There was an article in a recent Economist about how poor people will save up any extra money to splurge on something like a TV. Just because they are poor does not mean they don't want some kind of luxury item. It's part of being human.
If you have an older computer, or one with 1 GB RAM or less, I recommend Xubuntu.
If you have a better/newer computer, I recommend Linux Mint.
Both are great.
New York and New Jersey are huge mafia states, so I can easily see why the have wiretap increases. Not to mention they seem to be the main targets of terrorists.
The TSA has yet to catch a real terrorist, but has likely given at least some people cancer. All for security theater.
And also all the abuse of authority they have done lately, such as making a 95 year old woman remove her Depends during a search: http://www.newsherald.com/news/mother-94767-search-adult.html , I almost don't feel bad for the affected agents.
Heck, Obama doesn't even sign the Bills anymore. He has a computer pen do it for him! He's laughing at all of his in his MIDI voice once the cameras are off.
I'll be sticking with Firefox 4 for a few more weeks, until I'm sure all my plugins have been updated. Also, I really can't see a good reason for Mozilla to start jumping versions so damn fast. It's not necessary!
If I was in charge of a software company, I'd think very, very hard about using something other than Java for any future projects. This lawsuit will quite possibly bite Oracle in the ass over the long term.

10% is still millions of users, many who have no antivirus of any kind because Apple has told them they don't need it.
I don't need my web browser to be a full platform. I need it to be a web browser. I wish these guys would figure that out.
Problem is, if Bizar tells them no, their only recourse is to use the courts.
I am similar, though I tried Ubuntu 11.04 then quickly jumped to Xubuntu. I really like XFCE.

I've switched to XFCE, and I like it a lot. Much better than either the current Gnome or KDE.

The only book store we had before Borders moved in was a Waldenbooks in the mall.

And Scientific Linux is already close to having 6.1 out. And they released 5.6 last week. They a little ahead, though not by a huge margin.
One of the first things I always did when I was updating Ubuntu was install Thunderbird. It's a great program. I also use it on my Win7 computer.

If it was Microsoft, I would agree. Apple seems to be actively anti-business lately, so this might not be true.

Knew it was coming. I still play this game, but only a few of the servers are populated. Many of them are near empty.

Except that, once again, NATO accidentally bombed our allies today: http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/06/18/libya.nato.al.brega/
Nice to see a kid be successful. I hope this works out great for him and his family.
That's who I was referring to, since they are the government agency in the article.
I hope Rojadirecta wins this big, and everyone else then files suit and nails the government.
