Don't put everything into one git repository. If you have large binaries, or large even large plain text files (like input data for testing), put those in a seperate repository so you only clone what you need.
If we commit acts of war, regardless whether or not the acts are justified, lets at least declare war. If Congress and the President can't bring themselves to do so, then there is no reason to get involved whatsoever.
Yahoo's upgrades are, for the most part, unwanted. They break things and even if you ignore the bugs and lost data, the new way to use groups, either as a user or moderator, isn't easier. It is actually harder. On top of that, IMHO the new look is just plain ugly. I subscribe to about 20 Y! groups and for the most part have stopped using them. Now I only check to see if the group owner makes an announcement of the migration of the group to a new provider.
Yes, but computer controlled az/el rotors to track satellites is not new, at least not to ham radio. Just one of many examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXWF09gPUSs
If you want to get into research the most direct path is to get into a Ph.D. program in the discipline that interests you. It is the most direct path because a) you'll have to do publishable research to graduate, and b) most research positions in academia and industry require a Ph.D. If you can't afford the time or money of a Ph.D. program, find a masters program with research option.
While in grad school there are a few skills you must acquire:
* Research experience.
* Awarness of your area of research. What are the big unsolved computational problems? Make your PhD research in one of the hot areas. Learn how to find out what's the next big thing so that you can be on the cutting edge.
* Publishing and conference presentations (learn to sell yourself).
* Networking in your field (best jobs come from knowing someone in a position to help you).
My wife is an attorney. When she's working on a case for a client, there isn't a lot of face time if she able to work out what needs to be done for the client in the initial meetings. Often she'll get clients who want to change or add things mid-stream.
Fine...
If you want to make a request after I've started working on your case, it's $150-$300/hr for me just to listen about what you want different. If I agree to do the work, it's another $150-$300/hr beyond the initial estimate of how much the total was going to be. And if it's more than a few hours I'll have to charge an additional retainer.
This has cut down a lot on clients who bug for too many trivial reasons and don't realize it's just delaying things.
It isn't unique to India. Never said that. But it does become a problem from my end (the US) because India is pretty much the out-sourcing capital so if/when my company decides to shift some development and testing over there, I have to deal with their sub-par work.
So that's 2-3 more million "developers" that don't know what they are doing. Seriously, how many of these new so-called developers really know what they are doing and can code with a passion as opposed to those that are in it just to get a paycheck and hope they can CYA wrt to bugs.
There they have small Debian/Ubuntu based distros that are designed to run one or a few related types of applications. I just started using their Redmine project management app for handling my software projects. Specifically I use it to track my documents, bugs, feature requests, and source code. The repository GUI front end makes it relatively easy to examine the code, especially when I have to put it up on a big screen for meetings. The distro has git, Mercurial, bazaar, and Subversion already installed and ready to go. I chose to use Turnkey Linux instead of working up a vanilla Debian install because I didn't want to spend any time configuring apache, MySQL, Redmine, etc. when I had project deadlines looming. I was just looking for the most painless way to migrate from SVN to Git with the bosses requirement that I couldn't use a Cloud service like GitHub or Bitbucket.
BTW, Redmine is just one of the project management appliances they have available so look around to see what might fit you best.
The country is well known to have a hygiene problem. Public defecation is rampant and hot topic in the international press. Couldn't they at least out sourced to a country that is at least clean, if not cleaner than us like the Japanese or one of the Scandinavian countries?
I have a feeling this will all be moot soon. Youtube are about to unveil subscription channels, and we already have Hulu, Netflix, etc. All we need is an idiot-proof box for the living room so that grandma can surf all these channels with her "clicker" and we'll forget there ever was such a thing as cable tv.
Only watching internet streaming (mostly Netflix) and OTA broadcasts. On demand streaming is the future.
Got tired of paying nearly $100/month for 200 channels, of which I would only watch 10 at most. Wanna bet if they sell a la carte, each channel would cost $5-10 month plus a $25/month "maintenance" fee?
Some aspects of the novel related to science understandable for a teen:
* How a submarine controls buoyancy
* How the steam engines works
* How electric propulsion works
* How batteries work
* Underwater breathing apparatus
* How to make fresh water from sea water
* Marine biology
* Ethics of using advanced technology to harm
and a few others I look into occasionally like QEX, Circuit Cellar, and Make which I might subscribe too after the refund comes.
I don't like reading articles on a computer or tablet. I code all day so when I have time to read for my hobbies, I don't want to have my head buried in another screen.
The thing is that in your examples the law is pretty unambiguous. If the company is paying for your home and car and they aren't used for work, it's considered employee income and is subject to regular income tax.
Meanwhile, food given to regular employees at work, like factory worker or doctor eating at the on-site cafeteria, or the soldier in the field eating an MRE, is normally not counted as a benefit for taxing purposes. The idea behind the exception was that the employer couldn't afford to give the employee time off to leave facility to eat. The question is whether or not this rule should also apply to tech workers who have a more flexible schedule.
AFAIK, meals provided to employees onsite by a company cafeteria, while on the clock, to reduce the time the employee has to take off from work, are normally NOT treated as a taxable benefit.
If the employee could come in to eat for free on their day off, those meals should be reported.
Two things...
First, that SUV can't use the bike lanes or dedicated bike paths that you can. Are you paying a special bike tax to fund those projects? No we are all paying for them, often as an earmark from property or transportation taxes.
Second, big rigs cause a lot more wear than SUVs. In California this is most evident on I-5 in the San Joaquin valley where the right lanes show a pronounced degradation of the concrete an asphalt. Almost anything you buy, clothes, food, your bike(!) was shipped on a truck. If you consume, you are part of the "problem"!
You forgot the sarc tag. The economy is what is killing restaurants. Fewer people have the disposable cash to eat out. If anyone does, it likely a Google employee taking his/her family out for dinner, spending the money he saved from lunch!
as well as any other "freebies" that Google provides to its onsite employees. Just think how much revenue the state could get if each Google employee's computer and office furniture were taxed at regular income tax rates!
It is hard to get a job anywhere in this economy. Real unemployment is around 15% (not the 7.6% touted by the Feds, that number excludes people unemployed so long they can't get unemployment insurance payments). For a university position, this means there is going to be less funding so fewer tenured positions. Plus the terrible economy means more Ph.D.'s are seeking refuge in universities so the candidate pool is bigger.
Back in the '90s with the tech boom, I remember seeing universities advertising professorship positions to CS, Eng. and science Ph.D. fresh out of school, post-doc not required because you could make better money outside acedemia. Now you have to do years of post-docs just to get your foot in the door as an assistant professor of even lecturer. It's worse in the liberal arts.

Hello! Former technical Yahoo here. Were you there when TK was CEO? That's when it was fun. Since then not so much and I'm happy to have moved on...

Same with the one to the north in Concord. It's actually pretty nice is the food was relatively cheap.

A Roku does that nicely.

is one of the big reasons I dropped cable. If they want to attract viewership, don't rehash a popular series, rebroadcast it!

And many (most?) of Google's services are free to the average computer user. So who's the leech?
