Even a garbage company has this stuff. How do you suppose they decide who gets the desk jobs vs who handles the medical waste?
There is only one kind of employment that doesn't require social climbing to advance: self employment. And there you better either have these skills, or such an amazing product that other people are applying those skills to get to you.
What the prince and the art of war offer are skills / power. How you use that power is up to you. You can use it for personal advancement or the good of those around you. The grandparent wanted some reading advice for how to master the personal skills & political skills needed to advance in their career, and there is no better source in my opinion.
Yeah, it seems like the right time to take the chance. I want a nice house, and the mortgage rates are at historic lows, so even should my bet not pay off I'm fine on a fixed rate long term investment there.
Just read the classics. The Prince and The Art of War. If you master those two books, suddenly the social climbing stuff is easy and transparent. And the people who care about social climbing but aren't masters become easy to manipulate.
I'm busy trying to get the hugest home loan I can grab. I look forward to buying a great house in a great location, and then watching the inflation make my interest payments meaningless. Woohoo! (Thankfully, I have a secure job in one of the most inflationary resistant industries, so my pay should scale with the inflation ride we're about to take).
The problem is, you've aligned yourself, whether thoughtfully or not, with the people who opposed interracial marriage. You're on the side of evil, and you are both a bigot and surrounded by more bigots. You want to oppress a minority with your religious majority views. That's what the taliban is all about, Mr. Kazoolist Talibani.
I'm afraid it's an experiential correlation. Nearly all religious bigots I've met have had only a rudimentary reasoning ability. Whereas many homosexuals I've met have held advanced degrees (and nearly all college degrees). College degrees are surprisingly uncommon amongst the religious bigot population.
Most anti-8 people I've talked to are all in favor of NO LIMITS, but there are many who feel that the disgusting pedophilia popular among the polygamists would be bad for the cause, and favor fighting one battle at a time. Yes, MLK should have stood up for gays as well as blacks, but you know, he had his own priorities.
It's still 1955 for plenty of women, who continue to be discriminated against in employment and educational opportunities. In nearly all marriages, even today, the woman earns less partly because of child rearing duties (and expectations, etc). To deny them the fair split of the marital income would be grossly unfair.
You should get a better translation, that is way off. The actual translation is bloodlust not lust, it's a reference to those who would be violent with others, thus deserving only death themselves. Seriously, learn latin and read something closer to the original.
That's probably not true. They are mostly interested in hiring smart people, which includes many gays but fewer religious bigots. Prop 8 means those gays are going to MA, while the bigots hang around CA. Bummer for CA employers.
You don't hire 10,000 superstars. There aren't that many. To imagine that googles hiring process hasn't been figured out by the applicant pool would be foolish. It is very, very hard to keep from hiring nimrods, and the faster you hire the harder it is. Google hired a lot of people very fast, they hired a bunch of nimrods. Like every other company, Google is then faced with the challenge of getting rid of them.
The hard drive is really the limiting factor. There's just no getting around pulling say a GB worth of data off of it (to cover all your device drivers and core operating system, etc). That alone will cost you 10 seconds, which is roughly the time that it takes to resume from hibernate. Now, you could have a staged boot, where you bring up services as needed, which might give the illusion of a faster boot, while actually making you wait the same amount of time to ultimately do anything.
My disagreement is on the short term. In the short term, it works really, really well. They disrupt Hamas' (or the enemy of the day's) supply lines and the terrorism level drops significantly.
And that, unfortunately, is the strongest type of reinforcement psychologically. (Short term, intermittent reinforcement).
That was my point. The suggestion that life was better back then when any application crashing meant a full reboot is crazy. And oh the convenience of only being able to run one application at a time! Who needs cut and paste!
My point was only that there is an obvious looping solution (linear in N) and an inobvious solution (constant time). At least it is inobvious if you don't have a great memory, or haven't done a lot of 6th grade algebra lately.
It really didn't help the discussion that I typoed the parenthesis, that really distracted from the discussion I was more interested in having.

Statistically, the long run view favors the mother of the four children on welfare producing far more for the economy than your business ever will.

There's still plenty of bias, just because they can get in doesn't mean they have equal treatment.
Actuis, Alterno, Ensco ... sure many of the big names are in CA or WA, but MA has plenty of medium sized players.

Yes, please see any of the previous two dozen followups on this thread.
In all fairness, the 20+% annual inflation we're going to see starting in 2010 will bring housing values back to their peaks by 2013.

Eh, it's entertaining. Plus you tend to get a lot of karma for slamming AC.
Yes, feel free to read the follow-up next time.
You should have read the follow ups, how embarrassing for you.
