half of what I see, nothing of what I hear, and only some of what I read without checking and questioning. but then I've been around a looong time. and I've been burned, hence my skepticism
In the initial stages of a disaster you will get extremely detailed information. It will be wrong how long this lasts depends on many factors
Has anyone come up with a reasonable idea of what the optimum temperature should be? used to have vineyards in england, settlements on greenlands coast.
In the US no one is required to submit taxes online. We can't even do it free for states, only for federal taxes.
utah can file electronically for free. Got the fed state program from h&r block, used it to fill in and file fed electronically, do state then fill in the blanks on the state site from the completed form. electronic deposits, all done in a week. best $40 I spent (got the cd)
My yahoo account (since ~ '98) uses my real name which it appears is also some actors name. Keep telling his friends they got the wrong guy but I keep getting his mail. If I was closer I might take them up on those script readings and fancy parties. Might be fun (or funny, not sure)
Skeptics seeing ghosts is what turns them into believers. Used to work in a hotel that had them. Enough people (guests, workers, etc) saw enough things before being told about the spirits to turn them into believers
Why compare them? Because Jobs did when he introduced the ipad. If he screwed up anything in his intro, that had to be it. He should have never called it a network COMPUTER replacement. He should have called it an APPLIANCE that complements computers.

Today's hearing is expected to examine specific incidents that took place on the DHS servers, including "rootkits, classified leaks, compromised websites, bot infections, unauthorized use of networks by contractors, and viruses." The subcommittee has also identified a specific DHS network that is "riddled with... weaknesses" and could result in data leakage.
I have been on both sides and visited with others on both sides. Any trade where the cost of entering the field (barriers to entry) are low see the same thing. I've seen mechanics, electricians and plumbers all hang out their own shingle. I have also audited change order costs for contract work, including employee costs. Consider this: Basic 40 hrs/wk = 2080 hrs/yr Assuming independent (sole Proprietor), simple basic in US
As an independent you will be lucky to get paid for 50% of that. Employee get paid for all of that, even when sitting around In US independent pays ~14% SS & Medicare. Employee ~7%, Company covers ~7% Average Employee costs company ~30% OVER pay rate for SS, Insurance (Unemploy & Group Medical), Vacation & Sick Leave. Independent has no leave, no unemployment, pays own individual medical. Employer provides specialized tools. Independent provides them for self. As independent other 50% of time spent worrying about paperwork, sales, marketing. All the necessary things that don't add a cent to your checkbook. Employee just has to get their time sheet in.
I've seen lots of people jump between the two. Boom times go independent and get on the gravy train. Bad times grab the paycheck and let the boss worry about keeping the doors open.
Get a "incompatible version" error when I try to vnc back in from 2 different workstations. Guess I need to dig out the keyboard and mouse and hook the monitor back up to see what happened. Glad its only across the room.
In the fire service the difference is between Paid and Volunteer. With all the nasty stuff we can find when the alarm goes off there is no room for Amateurs out there. Amateur implies no training, which makes them a danger to everyone in this field.
Ah, not always. I read a magazine article years ago (after Apple II, pre WWW) about a design firm that came up with (among other things) a vacuum that was so attractive it was displayed in a musuem. The punch line was to the effect of "It never sold well because despite the fact it was lovely to look at it did a lousy job".
The problem with Lebed (at least what I got from the first part of the show) is he committed a CRIME.
He did nothing productive. He bought stock, hyped it to raise the price, and dumped it. Adults go to jail for that. He (and his parents) tried to make it sound like he found undervalued companies and just shared his views.
Problem 1:
If he was so sure they were good why sell after a quick run up? Surely it would climb much more if he had really found a diamond in the rough.
Problem 2:
After he quit hyping the stocks they tanked. His hot air was all that was keeping the balloon up. That is fraud, not investing.
I am surprised all they did was make him give some of the money back. An adult would be in prison

3 is 2
