My normal experience from trying to actually show knowledge of a subject usually ends up running into an instructor with the attitude that you just presented. Instead of being allowed an opportunity to show/discuss my current understanding, I get treated as if I think I am a special little snowflake. Then I am told to prove it on the test, which I do. And then I am still forced into a bucket with the average groups. It is fun when the instructors are all so pissed off and jaded that they hate trying to pass knowledge on, and just despise their daily role. I understand the situation, as I have watched my wife grow from a very interested teacher of college level high school kids to someone who has burned out so badly that she is moving back to the corporate world. My current real life has me going back to college for a business degree, after 13 years in datacenter/sysadmin roles, and I am actually answering questions like what does a NIC do, what does http stand for, and which protocol is wireless? There are parts of the class that may be useful, but I am not getting my moneys worth from that nonsense.
im currently running a heavy production load on 6.0.something, and not quite up to the latest hot fix. No blue screens in a while. the only issue is the depth of changes in the hot fixes dont allow a smooth upgrade path, and the lack of polish you mention does get in the way. I wouldnt call it anywhere close to perfect, and dont now if I would choose it if this wasnt already a huge installation, but the price is definitely right.
The issue that comes into play is that VMware offers a very small feature set ( with ease of use ) for a huge sum. It is getting harder every day to justify the cost for those features.
isnt this what happened to eBay in Germany when they sold nazi memorabilia ? I think they had to alter the auctions to not display content to certain regions. Of course the difference here is that twitter is just enabling someone to shout really loudly, but you only have to hear it if you ask to know what the person is saying. France may not have to filter, but the French people who dont want to see what people all over the world are saying may not want to tune in to a service like this.
They did slightly more than look to see what was open. This is more like, "you had 2 open windows and one unlocked door, so I left some yogurt in your fridge and took pictures of your wife while she was sleeping. I will be posting the pictures to the world as proof, you are welcome for the yogurt. Enjoy!"
ok, some good points here, but... this goes well beyond the idea of a book available in electronic form. Increasing the experience isnt a bad thing, but a book can be just as useable in pdf form as in a dead tree form. Text, pictures, whitespace, all relaying thoughts and ideas.
I see the direction you are going, is an e-book a file, an app that plays a file with rich content, or is it an entire classroom ecosystem?
This is perfectly stated. The constitution passed the granting of corporate charters to the states. Each corporation issued articles in a state, and got approval from teh state. They were most often used as a way to go into a large business for a specified time, and then get the money back out when done. Think digging canals or building bridges. The concept of undieing multinational corporations didnt really exist.
I would argue that the opportunity to abuse the "granted rights due to their nonliving status" has contributed to the mess we see today, and that if this opportunity suddenly disappeared, then the society and law-warping activities that we see today would end fairly quickly.
and, once when I was denied, I found out that there is a per diem average that you are allowed to purchase. I wasnt sure if I could purchase a smaller amount that wouldnt trigger whatever rules are in place, so I asked how much I was allowed to buy " right now " . This triggered a phone call to security. I left.
Basically I wanted to buy a 30 day supply 28 days after a previous 30 day supply, because I happened to be there and it would be convenient.
I went to a doc, got a very similar perscrition that insurance has to now pay part of , for the great deal of only 4 times the OTC price. They will say that the perscription versions have higher consistency. I say the FDA wont allow inconsistent drug manufacturing at all. There is your wonderful insurance premiums skyrocketing again.
yup, Pearson is absolute shit. Now that they say that you can use either IE or safari, you still cant use safari. Restricting all E-edition stuff tio active-x is just wonderful.
I am sure that there have been many standards that are not in use as they dont implement the latest and greatest DRM offerings. The problem may not go away instantly and by magic, but I am certain that the standards could easily be settled when vendor lock in and DRM is made far less important than actual useability.
This creates the mentality of “Pay to play” and “Speeding Tax”.
I refer to these as fast driving awards and my racing license. It looks like a normal license, but I have to pay a bit more every once in a while to drive teh way I wish.
I have seen ( and been ) pulled over in large groups. Sometimes it takes some coordination, and sometimes a cop can just pull beside you and point, and just get several cars in a line. I always hope some asshole will try to run and distract the cop from the rest of us. The last time this happened to me was a pair of motorcycles that were using what would be deemed an illegal method of tracking speeds. They were over a hill/curve, and able to shoot the laser across yards on the inside of the curve. There was no way to see them. One guy would walk into the middle of the road ( two lanes each direction ) and just start pointing people onto a side street. I was amazed. He ran my records, and I am sure he wrote my name down, and then gave me a written warning and told me that the road was really 40MPH and the residents have been complaining. It was a great public education campaign.
Agreed. I also suspect that part of the sabre rattling here is that China is starting to get annoyed, and not defending DPRK to the levels that they used to. The North Korean way has always been to push the envelope to get sanctions at the table. After this comment, China will agree to continue helping them as long as there is a promise to not do what was never going to be done anyhow.
also, what if you dont train your employees and they leave? If workers cant advance they will get bored, or you will have a crappy workforce. Replacing a current employee from outside the organization has a huge ramp up time, hiring costs, and if they have the new skill already, can be more expensive than the one who left.
when the disparity between the product and selling the product is that great, then there is a giant problem. I dont feel bad for a company that gets a reputation for making crap games when they spend 9 times as much convincing you to buy a crappy product over creating the product. Chop the marketing budget in half, put half of that into game development, now we have 35 million on the game, 50 million of sales, and the company just went up 15 million on day 1 WITH A MUCH BETTER PRODUCT TO SELL.
having a degree from GSU barely qualifies some of their graduates for shuttling documents. I think there are people that graduate that do nothing other than stare at a wall.
I never have looked at the cost of any of the food that I have grown. I only look at the fact that I put food on the table and didnt drive to the store to get it. The constant improvements are an enjoyable way to spend time, so I only look at those as home maintenance budget items. I bet some of the stuff is expensive, but I had a volunteer squash last year that only required not running over it with a lawnmower, I have had years of self planted kale, and several pumpkins a year for jack o lanterns that also require no attention at all. The kids have a great time with it too.
exactly. The banks were paying loan officers commissions on loans, so the incentive went to more loans, for more money, as fast as possible. I was there, I bought a house while the bubble was building, and was shocked at the tactics that were being used. I am very thankful that I had a long term plan that I was following, so I could just use their aggressiveness to my advantage. The loan that we used to buy would have turned us inside out if we had followed the strategy that was given to us to convince us to take the model of loan that we had. I have a feeling that most people would have believed the banker who handles money and loans all day every day, and anyone who trusted them would have been forced into a position to sell or be foreclosed on, and since we know now that there were so many people in that spot that all the homes were underwater... When countrywide went under I just laughed
I have in my hands a shiny new 900x4d . I will be installing some version of linux this weekend. Is there anything that you are saying here that I need to know that is difficult to figure out, or that I wont just stumble upon from you description of the process? Win7 is booted now, and I have no cd/dvd (unless it is in a different box that I havent opened yet)
the responses are worthless to any of these . All that is required is a response. So.. " I see that a small amount of people think something, good on you guys" covers the whole thing. YAY for us!
The GP referred to these as distraction issues. Not calling them trivial distractions like hobbies, but issues used to distract. Notice how the mention of these issues quickly sidetracked the conversation. It works. These issues will not be resolved, because congress can throw them around to keep the masses busy believing that the two party system exists, and run around behind the scenes screwing over everyone for personal gain. Different definition of distraction.

because those would land somewhere where someone who is very interested in understanding how they work could pick them up.
