I disagree. I use firefox for just about everything; online banking, online account management, etc. Every once in a while I need to open up IE to view a flash animation or some other stupid site that uses ActiveX - but at that point I know what they are trying to do and can establish the risks of going to it in IE.
btw, regarding all these/. problems, for some reason I get this render problem intermittently, but a simple reload typically handles the problem.

thanks for pointing that out, or did you mean to make some other draconian government observation?;)

Thanks for COTFU (clicking on the f'ing url) where he clearly details how he found documents and immediately contacted the appropriate branches of service and/or military bases.
They did NOTHING. So he posted self-censored documents to shame them into fixing the problem.
Is there a reason that they don't hold the challenge(s) more ofter? It seems to me that this task is something that should be technically do-able. Also, it seems to me that good R&D work is done in sprints, rather than waterfall style development.
The government owns the land, right - so no cost there. These guys are funding themselves because the result of being successful will be to get recogniztion (and $$) from DARPA.

In a similar vein: What, pray tell, would happen if suddenly there was no market for that MSFT stock you own.
Answer: Who cares? Because there is probably a lot worse shit to worry about if that happens - like massive terrorist attacks, massive nationwide layoffs, world war (although this would probably cause SAIC to hire), the earth's core stops spinning, etc.
I worked at SAIC for a while and since I was a stock broker previously I had a great interest in how this whole "thing" worked.
I know they set the price every quarter and they use an "external" accountant to run the numbers. Supposedly they have a set formula (although I think when I worked there the board voted to change it -- this was during the Internet glory days when stock valuation models, uh, changed a little).
Also, I think you have to notify before you sell so they may take supply/demand into account as well. Also, if I remember correctly you can only hold a certain percentage of your net worth (or maybe just in the 401k) in SAIC stock...
Anyway, I always thought it was a great deal. I mean do you really think a board of directors would vote to decrease their net worth by making the stock price lower.
Also, I always thought that the company would go public when Beyster retires -- I mean, are they going to force him to sell all his shares? Although they'll probably just keep him on retainer so he can slowly liquidate or something.
Not to sound like a smart-ass, but have you considered dumbing down your resume?
Common sense dictates that if you are applying for a construction job you should list your construction skills not your l33t puter skillz.
While there is an obvious moral/ethical issue with adding things to your resume over and above your skill level, I would have no problem removing things and even lying about the extent of my experience to get a job.
Scenario: I go apply for a job at Mickey D's. I am not taking my Software Engineer resume in there. I'd throw a couple construction jobs, or pick some failed start-up and say I worked in the mail room or something. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Of course as you move into jobs that require specific skills and experience you run into problems.
The one line I would worry about crossing is asking one of my old employers/managers to leave out high-falutin' experience when they are contacted. That may be a line not to cross, depending on how well you know them.
Hardware integration like this should make for some interesting appliances in the next few decades.

Refrigerator/Web browser? wow. Watch/Telephone? uh huh. Car/Plane? dream on. Person/Jet pack? wake up.
You probably get all this from a speaker/LCD, right? Get down off the damn cloud. All they did was merge an LCD and speaker - flat speakers have been around for years using a variety of materials.
not from the heavens, but from the human beings on the planet.
Why do we worry about these thing when the population of this planet can't even figure out how to deal with the threats on this planet that we have control over?
in regard to [two] - I recently burned a recruiter, unfortunately, and while I didn't enjoy it my attitude was to look out for myself (especially these days)- it is a business after all, these things happen. In addition, the recruiter more or less told me he would never work with me again.
My response: "Yeah, right". If I have the skills a company wants, and this recruiter is in for a payday if they hire me he/she WILL present me. Period. Its called economics and greed. Look into it. I may not get the best consideration from them, but honestly who cares there are a zillion recruiters out there anyway.

So the cable companies are going to start making a profit off of (according to them) the primarily illegal activities of their subscribers.
I wonder how the RIAA and MPAA will feel about that?
