In case you didn't know, SAP is a closed-source firm that sells super-expensive specialized software for BIG enterprise.
I hate to nitpick here, but you do realise that you get the SAP source code when it is installed right? No, you cannot distribute it, but you are free to change it however much you like. I know this doesn't mean that it is "open", but in practice it comes as close to open source as makes no difference to the customer.
I am not sure what their corporate package will set you back, but these guys over at The Brain have a very nifty tool which did search Notes Databases the last time I gave it a shot.
I am an H-1B holder and can confirm this. Moreover H1's usually need a few years of experience to get into the country as well. I am often amongst the best paid people in the office because I am often one of the most experienced people.
As others have pointed out the data is probably very skewed time wise. My recently approved green card application was for experience and salary levels from 2001 due to some quirky laws around the application.
We plan to support open server-to-server federation. We do believe, however, that it is important to have the safeguards in place to ensure that we maintain a safe and reliable service that protects user privacy and blocks spam and other abuses.
So hang in there and it will happen. In the meantime I guess you could email them if you were really anxious: federation at google.com
with bazzilion other themes,icons,widgets,windows managers and other crap? - yet so far no linux distro has side mouse buttons working by default
I would assume that the people behind this project are more artistically inclined. I.e. they are more comfortable working with graphics than with code. Therefore it would most likely be of zero benefit to Linux to pull these people off this project and get them coding away on the side button issue.
Also because it is open source we are not really dealing with finite resources here. Just because these people choose to work on this doesn't mean that the side button mouse guys are going to stop working on their stuff.
Each visit resulted in a different hypothesis on what was wrong with me, from dehydration to renault's syndrome.
Tsk. Lucky you. I was recently diagnosed with Porsche syndrome. Unlike Renault, the Porsche syndrome leads to increased bloodflow which can only be countered with huges doses of adrenaline to even things out.
However, I still consider myself to be relatively lucky. A friend was diagnosed with Trabant syndrome. Now that is cause for anxiety...
Does anybody know of a system out there to fit something similar to this to your vehicle? Something akin to the new Mercedes which detects the card-key in your pocket and unlocks the door with a button to start the vehicle.
I recently opted to drive from Nashville, TN to Panama City, FL which was about an eight hour drive.
Not only did I save a bundle of money by driving, but it worked out about thirty minutes quicker than the airlines best estimates to get me there. Of course I don't need to mention to any regular travellers that airlines hardly ever keep to the best estimates.
For anybody checking up on the flight times, my timing estimate for the flight includes my drive to the airport, checking in, grabbing a rental on the other side and getting to my hotel.
Now, what really interests me is in how horrible the quality of the Internet Explorer code must be for it to run into so many problems. Considering how unappealing Mozilla was, I can't even begin to imagine how absolutely terrible the IE codebase is.
We were wondering the same thing and recently sent a Mozilla developer to work undercover at Microsoft on the IE dev team to check this out.
The doctors assure as as soon as he stops drooling he should be able to write up a report.
One of the more delusional excuses for this I've heard is that people have a right to defend their homes in war, armed revolution and the like. Bullcrap. The US civil population would stand as little chance as the Iraqi population if faced with the US Army (or a foreign army strong enough to defeat the US Army). Warfare has come a long way since the 1700s.
The last time I checked the US army was not fairing too well in Iraq and that is against a population significantly less armed than most sections of the USA. You don't necessarily have to have direct shootouts on a daily basis to defeat an enemy.
Apparently, they haven't tried eXtreme Programming for the Business Manager (yet).
They must be the only company not have gone that route yet. Every company I have worked for seems to think that having two managers watch me at the same time somehow improves my efficiency.
It still lists the payload (which I interpret as the cargo being carried) as 47 tons to the moon. That is still higher than is claimed for the shuttle.
If we look at the figures for Apollo 17 it looks like they took the 47 tons of payload there as the various command and lunar modules combined to just under 47 t. (I would count the modules as cargo.)
I have always read that the Saturn V outperformed the shuttle in raw lifting capacity. Is there something I am missing here?
Slashdot Mirror
But can it find potential girlfriends for Slashdotters?
Wow. There really are't any out there. Check it out on google yourselves.
The same results come back in images, groups, news, etc. Man. What a sad bunch.
Huh? In which states would the satellite-based Global Positioning System not work?
In states with tall trees close to the sides of the roads. For example, in parts of Kentucky I always lose signal on my GPS unit.
I hope they realise that they need to launch these craft at night otherwise the sun is going to burn them to a crisp.

I used to live on Sepulveda. It is.

I just disabled it and it made a huge difference to the startup time for Calc. What functionality is killed in Calc by doing this?

I don't know what NASCAR tickets go for, but probably something similar. ($150 for a "good" seat certainly doesn't sound unreasonable.)
I think seats will be relatively cheap. On the other hand renting a decent shield to protect yourself from falling debris...
Surely that should be Firewhale?

Can you point me to a SAPGui (equivalent to 6.20) that runs on Linux?
This, along with Garmin's annoying "Windows only" policy prevents me from switching my second machine to linux at home.
I looked at the Java version, but couldn't get it running.

I think the whole music industry needs a shaking up, and a Apple + Apple thing could be the key.
...? Yeah, I thought so.
OK. So then we have Apples on the one side. What do we compare it with on the other side hmmm?
Comparing Apples and
Tsk. Beginners.
The title quite plainly says Opera Free as in beer.
This means it's free if you were immersed in beer at the time of the download. Otherwise you have just opened yourself up for some billing issues.
Please read the entire title next time.
Burp.
Same thing here. It choked on some Javascript which didn't even produce warnings in Firefox or IE.
This is a killer site which I cannot do without. Other than that it certainly did appear to kick Firefox's butt in the speed department.
Super. Thanks.

I have always read that the Saturn V outperformed the shuttle in raw lifting capacity. Is there something I am missing here?
Saturn V could lift 118 metric tons into orbit. Even if we are only measuring payload to lift to the moon then it is still a healthy 47 tons.
The Space Shuttle can lift only 28.8 metric tons into orbit.
These a lot of things that can be said for the shuttle (larger cargo bay I think) but raw lifting capacity isn't one of those.
