In most developed countries, raising the percentage of high school degrees has been a desirable goal. High school degree level was therefore decreased so that 80% of the youngsters get their high school degree. And now businesses raise the bar to college degree.
The biggest difference, at least in the US, is that more student debts to pay college years
(I am the same person who commented before)..... I don't know. In my opinion, after 1989 the situation is getting every day worse in the whole Europe and we're losing those rights that we had before. Nowadays, everybody, center-left and center-right politicians, tend to abolish "welfare" and "state healthcare".
Our political elite are for the most utterly contaminated with neoliberalism thinking. And after three decade most people now can see neoliberalism means povery for them, our political elite are now mostly disconnected from the population. See how absention, far right and radical left are raising in Greece, Spain, Portugal, France and Spain.
And do not confuse attendance with productivity. But we talk about highly qualified job here. Indeed an engineer may never stop working.Even under the shower, he/she thinks about resolving a problem. Now think about factory workers. Work hours are attendance here.
Well, i'm french. The 35 hours a week gave us an extra dozen days off a year. I'm still working more than 40 hours a week
Sure, and you probably do so because you enjoy your work, or at least you stand it because it is interesting. But you have to remember that for most people, work is hard and annoying. Think about cashiers in supermarket: limiting their weekly hours to 35 is a relief.
France law sets full time workers at 35 hours per weeks. This is much more than 3 hours of work. One could argue that 35 hours is not the highest working time in the world, but french worker GDP per working hour is quite high, which make France still relevant.
The Grizz rant is just a point against globalization. It demonstrates very well that it can be used to lower worker conditions as much as wanted.
There is a problem with what we call left and right: it may denote in fact two lefts and two rights.
On the societal axis, the left is libertarian, the right is conservative
On the social axis, the left is socialist, the right is capitalist
This seems to carry a contradiction. A libertarian would want to limit the intrusion of the state in its life. However, a socialist knows that the law, that is the state, is the only way to limit the power of the capitalists and promote equality among citizen.
This is the contradiction between liberty and equality. Pushing liberty too far leads to ultraliberalism, where the wealthier rules. Pushing equality too far leads to an oppresive state. French stateman Maximilien Robespierre added brotherhood to liberty and equality in order to balance them, creating France motto that is still currently in use: Liberté, égalité, fraternité
Right, I did nor realize it was only for building the doc. The info(1) command is still in C?
Man page concision is an advantage, IMO. The info pages are so confusing that I never use them. When I need some GNU in info format, I read it online using a browser.
Now we will have a perl dependency for all GNU stuff, and this to read documentation that is even less nice to read than man pages. The best thing they could have done to texinfo is to get rid of it, IMO.
Why bother with HTTP? Plenty of malware gets signed certs.
The attack described here does not involve malware. On WPAD requests seen on DHCP or DNS, just inject a WPAD reply with a malicious PAC script and you are done.
I have been seen "heterodox" for a while about heterodox economists, which are the ones that say neoliberalism is a failure, euro was badly engineered and cannot work, banks too big to fail should all be nationalized, some part of public debt should not be honored, and other insightful things...
The question is not about biofuel in gasoline. The question is that is is high time we switch to something else than burning carbon. One day oil reserves will be depleted. If at that time the climate happens to still allow human life on earth, we will have to choose between biofuel and food. I would prefer having food.
The spam from my own address must be generated on the telecom/yahoo server as there is no other way it can happen
It is shockingly easy to spoof sender e-mail address. I do not expect any Yahoo user to know it, but the journalist that quoted this person should know that, and mitigate this claim of Yahoo server breach
Easy enough to do with early days DOS programming. PC's would cache various disk drive information in unprotected system memory
Yes, but the bricked PC did not suffered from bad information on disk. It did not attempt to boot, and it could not even enter BIOS setup anymore. IIRC all we had was a message saying BIOS chekcsum was bad
I wonder is there are really useful usages of SWF in MS Office. I would be happy if I had the opportunity to make flash installation visible only to the browser. Anyone has a trick for that? Moving DLL to a place where only Firefox looks for them?
That remind me of an assembly language course I took at the University, where we had to implement a mathematical algorithm in x86 assembly. My implementation bricked the PC, leaving it with a BIOS unable to boot or to enter setup. I never understood how it did it, but I now suspect that removing the battery for a while would have cured the disease.
There are firefox extensions for that. But unless you are the operator of the service, what do you do if the certificate change? How do you know if the change is legit or not?
They say they got hacked because they did not run their own software. I see another reason: either one of the accredited operators of the signing infrastructure launched a malware on their signing machine (scaring), or the signing machine offered hackable services on the company network (scaring again).

This is nice, we have the opportunity to capture all produced CO2. But what are we going to do with it?

This is interesting: these machines are safe enough to fly over middle easy countries, but not safe enough to fly over US.
attach a microwave magnetron to the antenna and watch him burn.
What happens if someone stands in the line of sight?
Can someone remind me what problem is supposed to be addressed by online college course?
I read it does not perform very well. This is a drawback compared to traditional courses, but what is the advantage?
UOP? Wikipedia has many meanings for this acronym. Which one is yours?

Well, they at least need a machine without their software to examine new software they are going to sign, don't they?
There are firefox extensions for that. But unless you are the operator of the service, what do you do if the certificate change? How do you know if the change is legit or not?
They say they got hacked because they did not run their own software.
