I'm rather surprised Google would invest in Zynga, considering their reputation for working with spyware, scam deal sites, personal information harvesters, and other things that Google would warn you about if you clicked on them in Chrome.
Not that it matters much, but this actually tarnishes my opinion of Google a bit.
That phrase is way before Doctorow(he actually dislikes the phrase, see his article "IWTBF considered harmful"). It was first used famously(that I'm aware of) by Stewart Brand in the 1984 Hacker Conference.
More importantly, structure your questions in such a way that, even if someone can look up the information, they need to understand it properly to answer
That's how most of my CS exams worked. You were allowed to use the book and four 8.5x11 pages of notes, use as small a font as you can read but no microfiche machines.
Statistics was similar, the professors even handed out a cheat sheet of every formula you might want. Didn't help much if you didn't know when to use them.
The lens in the human eye blocks UV. People who have had their lenses removed have reported being able to detect UV, but it looks a lot like purple.
Also, the human eye can see a teensy bit of near infrared, depending on where you put the distinction between red and IR. However, it requires goggles that only passes IR and a really bright IR source(sunny day or a IR flood lamp).
It's the same at my company: anybody that reports to the COO is a Director of "Whatever", even if they have no subordinates. Maybe 1/2 of the directors don't need employees to perform their tasks.
They all, however, can draft employees from other departments E.g. the director of process improvement can ask for time from the people who are performing the tasks he is studying.
I never stated or implied that violence was immoral, I merely stated that claiming violence was a primarily male domain was sexist.
Many proto-russian, pre-historic persian, and celtic women(all cultures who buried women with hand weapons) would disagree with you, if they weren't millennia dead. Not to mention examples of other species where females are more territorial, violent, or aggressive than the males. Insects especially.
Can't stop them, but if you aren't a horrible place to work, they won't cut and run.
I don't think it has happened, but anybody taking a bunch of training and then quiting without notice gets it taken out of their severance. The company will invest in you, but you are expected to stick around a few months to recoup that investment. Leaving due to illness, spouse being reassigned, etc., are usually let slide if they let their boss know right away.
A good source for those is, surprise, craft stores. For some reason, having "bead storage" on the box suddenly makes it cheaper than the exact same thing at a hardware/electronics store. I recently picked up some 24 bin 12"x12" boxes for $2 each.
Keep your ESD sensitive components in their bags, though.
Any research or professional development can be done at home, when you aren't getting paid to do specific tasks.
Ouch, my company pays for research and education, because the company benefits from it. Of course, we don't have people jumping ship after training, either.
You are allowed to buy a piece of sheet music and give it to a friend. But you are not allowed to buy a piece of sheet music and give your friend a replica.
Really, so now I have to lobotomize my friend after he gives me the sheet music back to prevent him from retaining a copy, in his mind </Izzard>.
I don't know about where you live, but in the UK if you're intelligent and have a degree you can go through a fast track system which ends up with being pretty senior within a relatively few years, and I believe only a couple of years actually on the beat. So it's not just a job for thickos any more.
What you're saying is, anyone with half a brain and some experience gets promoted. Reasonable enough, everybody likes a meritocracy.
The downside is that then most of the beat cops, by definition, are likely to be novices(possibly intelligent) or "thickos" who couldn't get promoted.
Anything that fits in a padded mailer and isn't X-day shipping. Single books, small electronics, etc all come USPS.
I am fairly close to a distribution center and I usually use the slowest shipping because it still gets here in 1 or 2 days, so I get stuff by way of USPS quite often.
If you actually have to pay for speedy delivery, they just don't use USPS.
Nah, they'll just tack on a "resisting arrest" charge and then drop the original charge. Tadah, they're holding you for a legit reason, even if they had to bounce you off a wall to get you to start resisting.
Slashdot Mirror
They don't necessarily have the same info and they definitely don't share "this is bogus information" notices. They are competitors.
Because then Windows Server wouldn't look very impressive.

You wouldn't see the magnetic fields surrounding an object in all directions, you'd only see those that intersected with your head.
You probably wouldn't even be able to tell what object was emitting them without moving around.

I dunno... How many mice can you take on at once?
What planet do you live on, and can I move there?
Wow, that's sexist.
On the other hand, anyone claiming a MSRC exploit on their CV, after the furor has died down, can list the MSRC as a reference to confirm it.

In the future, we'll do the trick with sulfur hexafluoride instead.
At least until enough kids suffocate.
I'm just glad the Dutch don't have a space program.
Sure, Americans get confused about the whole "metric-imperial conversion" thing, but these are some serious typos~

A very inflexible balloon.
Alternatively, balloons are rather mediocre bombs.
I'll be amused if the kid, later in life, sues his parents for half the money.

Apparently you have never heard of a process called "tanning". Some of us still have grand-dad's WWI tattoos, nicely framed.
