There's a difference between exclusion and not recruiting. Why should an industry go out of its way to build up a recruiting base when it already has a competitive one? The only business reason I can think of is so that it can pay everyone less, which makes so much sense when I see this same backwards argument three times a week.
You could take a lot of what current leaders SAY and make them sound like heroes too. These guys realized they were rich, but still quite vulnerable. When they preach about banks it's motivated by knowing they are vulnerable to them. When they preach about limiting corporate powers they are talking about other corporations. When they talk about wealth they mean anyone wealthier than themselves, which is variable. If these guys weren't completely full of shit we wouldn't be run by banks, corporations and money. Those very important points would have been put in the constitution or at least amended.
I'm sure they could. Remember, the founding fathers were a bunch of rich land owners that got together to get out of paying taxes to England. Not much significant has changed. It's still a bunch of rich people preaching about freedom in order to obtain more power and money. The main difference is that it's acceptable to worship money now, being greedy isn't immoral anymore, it's savvy.
Hell yeah, I hear they'll have all 14 stations of the cross, plus a bonus at the end where you shoot up out of the tomb. I have been thinking way too hard about what rides would be best for each station... somehow you have to cram a water ride in there. You definitely need a 'superman' type roller coaster where it's suspended and you are fastened to a cross.
You've been able to get level editorsCRAFT pretty easily since the days of Doom. Some were friendlyCRAFT, some weren't. The Quake editor was pretty great and you weren't stuck with boxesCRAFT. Now they've just shit up the interfaceCRAFT and took the graphics backwards 20+ years. --CRAFT
Unless you are out of the warranty or return period, which is basically always. Killing the ability of the device to interact with a computer is basically bricking the entire device. If I remove your car's ability to interact meaningfully with the road, for most intents and purposes your car is broken.
I don't see the point on taxing the use of things that you need to get be productive, like the internet, food, roads, power, water --etc.
Taxing consumption of luxury/non-essentials seems to make sense though. Of course that's a grey area, and saying, "Well, use some common sense." is more or less useless, because for some people having a yacht might be as essential to their business as you having a 04 Civic. Then you have the even worse area of vices. Calling something a vice and taxing it is basically legislating morality, so you have to be on board with that before you can tax booze and tobacco -- then do you stop or go on to jewelry, porn, sports cars, dessert?
Especially considering the person aware of the counterfeiting could be multiple times removed from the consumer.
The bad chip might be purchased by a company that distributes to a board house that is making components for some doodad you bought. You'd have to yell at the doodad manufacturer, then they'd have to yell at the component manufacturer, then they'd have to yell at the board house, then they'd have to yell at the distributor who may not even know they were selling bunk chips. Meanwhile, your doodad is broken and all that you know is that FTDI sucks.
That USB to serial converter is used a LOT. You'd be surprised how many times you plug in a "USB" device and it's going through a converter, especially on scientific equipment, sensors, etc. I hope they don't break anything important,
it certainly does suck for FTDI, but if they can detect the counterfeit hardware why not just make it so that your drivers no longer work with their hardware... instead of modifying the hardware to not work with your drivers?
Yes, I get that this means that people with existing drivers can still use that hardware, but I'd probably be safer to release new drivers, pull the old ones, and use google to link to a counterfeit awareness page or something whenever someone searches for the PID.
This all sounds great, at least until we elect Reagan II next election with control of the house and senate and ramp that prison industry back up. My only hope would be that some libertarian would actually be a libertarian and not some "State's rights" or corporate shill to get elected, because I don't see the dems surviving much longer.
If you aren't bringing anything to the table then you aren't going to do well in the interview, if it's skills or IP, and you are going to put values on those things. You don't work for free because your skills are valuable. The trouble you may have with IP is how much you separate its value from the value of your skills - especially considering your IP could be usefully mined for years past your employment. Most professionals bring IP to companies they join, patented or not, and they absolutely use that as leverage in an interview. You should take the time to properly assess the value of your IP and present that in an interview. You have a tough balance of making the case that your IP is valuable without coming across as greedy or misinformed. If you put no value on it then it won't be seen as having value.
The guy got arrested for putting a GPS tracker on her car, but what about hiring private eyes? Is that even a real thing or just something on TV? Isn't it still stalking if you are hiring someone else to do the stalking?
That's because the reaction is a PR stunt to distract us from picking a path - either nude selfies don't really make you a bad girl or Jen isn't a good girl. They can hardly come out and be nude selfie proponents, THINK OF THE CHILDREN, wait, don't do that... and rebranding Jlaw again probably isn't an option.
Climate change is inevitable, but the main reason that it's so damaging is because we have large static cities. Nature isn't static. We need to learn now that if we plan on having permanent settlements that they will have to bend with nature. Like it or not, our coastal cities cannot exist as they are now for much longer. Climate change right now might be a good thing, because we're not to a point where the cities are so huge that abandoning them is impossible. I just hope we realize, that at least for the time being, we don't win against nature on these things.
Excellent point on the intentional spreading. I don't imagine it would take much effort to run around spitting all over everything. They say this is easily contained, but if it takes 2-3 weeks before you show symptoms you could have a group of people running around infecting thousands of people a day.
I'm sure they've made a movie with a similar plot already.
If this was a game of Pandemic2 you'd be scratching your head as to why they haven't shut the borders down yet. I wonder what Madagascar is up to...
Apparently president Obama blew this whole thing because he didn't leave residual troop in Iraq, but then the articles goes on to this - "emerging threats in Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, Libya". How exactly would residual troops in Iraq deal with this? ISIS/L is coming from Syria and Libya. We made it pretty damn clear we didn't want to get into that mess, now that mess spilled over. You don't win this kind of war. You either let it be or you get Machiavellian and level the whole region.
Every year, approximately 250,000 cats leave the house to enter human life. When the job market beckons, many will be looking to become IT professionals, a role that, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is among the fastest growing jobs in the country. How their field skills will translate to the office is something to ponder. With the advent of virtualization, mobile, and the cloud, tech undergoes rapid changes, as do the skill sets needed to succeed. That said, the nature of today's cats—always on the go, and able to press buttons—may actually be the perfect training ground for IT. Consider that many cats are already are IT technicians: They need to be skilled in sitting, metabolic functions, hand eye coordination, security, the ability to fix problems as they arise onsite, and more. and more. and more! Cats are used to working with everything from strings to iPads. Should programs that focus on placing cats in human jobs focus even more on getting them into IT roles?

I really liked that "Cold War" show. I hear it's getting a reboot, but so far I'm not so fond of the people auditioning for lead.
I for one do do whatever statues tell me to do.

That was the running joke when the first gulf war started. "How do we know that they have chemical weapons." - "Because we kept the receipts."

I still don't understand why if you had a cable or a rod or something and you stuck one end past the event horizon why you couldn't pull it back over.

So you get infected, incubate and when you start to get a fever you run around the subway rubbing snot all over everything.
