Wage and hour laws typically don't cover vacation. Whether someone gets paid for not working doesn't really affect order in the labor market, which is what really concerns the ruling class.
Were the US actually interested in the welfare of persons or people, paid time off would be mandated with laws covering the corner cases, instead of a moth-eaten privilege to be granted or revoked on a whim.
You're certainly off MY hiring list. One, you didn't RTFP too well, and two, you used "your" instead of "you're", which in my world is grounds for instant termination.
As in functionally outdated. What happens when active documents become the norm? (One could argue that with AJAX and magical PDF forms, they already are.) What happens when wikis are the expected way to receive complex information with cross-references? Another chance for content handling software houses to get their fingers sticky? In court, sometimes you don't appeal because you know you'll lose, and sometimes you don't appeal because you know winning would be worse than losing.
It irks me that ISPs get away with claiming that encouraging local premium content caching on customer-owned equipment is "P2P", or "friendly" for that matter. Then again, we're not the target audience of this; telecom regulators and legislators are.
Robert X. Cringely once said that wireless telcos are in the business of creating billable events. What you see here is broadband ISPs desperately trying to do much the same. By convincing governing types that the P2P the public wants is faster fulfillment of paid-for premium content by donating hardware and cycles to the cause, those continuing pressure for proper net neutrality are somewhat discredited.
sendmail.cf is your compiled configuration, of course. That it happens to be a little more human-readable than terminfo or zoneinfo makes it what is known in US law as an "attractive nuisance".
About two cents in quantity, plus a penny to drill the hole and stuff the part. Plus six or seven cents for the AND gate on the write line. Times several million.
You can only shift one of the source registers, right? So think of the shifter as an extension of the register number and it fits neatly into a RISC architecture, and into the register fetch stage where you probably have time to burn.
One big difference between CISC and RISC was with philosophy. CISC didn't really have a philosphy though, it was just the default. Insofar as there was a philosophy, it was to make best use of the scarce resources of the time: memory (so pack as much functionality as possible into an instruction byte) and programmer labor (so make the assembly language as versatile to hand-code as possible).
Of course Intel is in a bind here. They can't dump the x86, it's their bread, butter, and dessert. They have to make CISC fast because their enormous customer base demands it. They're forever stuck trying to keep an instruction set from 1978 going strong since they can't just toss it all out and make something simpler. I wouldn't be quite so sympathetic toward them. They do it because it's a good barrier to entry and they already own most of the ways around it. Besides, people just won't buy a desktop processor that doesn't natively run x86 code, so if you want the world to spend less cycles running x86 code you either have to run x86 code plus a RISCier instruction set (and maybe ARM would be nice and license Thumb patents toward that end), OR dump the legacy x86 code entirely through a platform/perspective/way of life shift, as seems to be happening in mobile platforms.
It is perfectly possible for talented software developers to have no degree and yet generate verifiably working code from an appropriately detailed spec in a reasonable period of time. It is likewise possible for a talented student to complete a full complement of coursework to acceptable standards, not receive a degree for whatever reason, and go on to generate verifiably working code from an appropriately detailed spec in a reasonable period of time. I dare say there's little to no positive correlation between utility as a software developer and holding a degree.
In comp sci, and in part for electrical engineering, the tools and materials for experiments are cheap and readily available, and going to uni doesn't get you access to anything really cool except like minds. For something like an industrial technology cert or a chemistry or biology degree, access to the tools and materials you need to experiment is not cheap nor readily available.
So, industry has unintentionally through economy of scale reduced the barrier to entry into software development and electronics engineering. In other fields a degree may actually certify that you didn't disfigure yourself through missing some "mundane little detail", but in CS a degree is little more than a very expensive, standardized reference that externalizes the cost and risk of management.
How would a Canadian regulatory body react to a communications provider only providing confidential capacity information under some sort of confidentiality agreement? I've seen FCC ID files with the device's theory of operation fully redacted under a rather flimsy pretext, and the devices are nothing an hour or two in a well-equipped lab with someone who reads Chinese fluently won't completely decode.
So the customer must, as a condition of getting this access, run all queries with READ COMMITTED or READ UNCOMMITTED isolation level -- or, as many have suggested, replicate and let 'em do their worst to their own reserved box.
Only if your motivation for the layoff was to wreck your employee's life. Which is not the motivation behind layoffs, it's to keep the business a going concern by reducing overhead. The direct motivation behind layoffs is more often "MEGACORP WANT KILL" which usually but not always follows from "MEGACORP WANT FOOD" which in turn sometimes but not always follows from "MEGACORP STARVING". Almost as often "MEGACORP WANT FOOD" follows from "MEGACORP'S BOARD SAY SIC'EM" which may or may not be a step or two above or below sport hunting. In some cases it also means "MEGACORP NOT WANT TO MAKE GOOD ON PROMISE" -- remember the six-month retention bonus with the five-month deadline and layoff?
Pay per view might work for some people but isn't particularly a good one for people without much disposable income and if people are faced with big bills for their TV they may just watch less. Boo hoo. People might actually have brainspace and time to devote to critical thinking, creativity and un-screwing their lives instead of gossiping about crappy entertainment to deaden the pain of their own lives made empty because they spent all their attention on crappy entertainment in the first place. Or they'll just move on to cheaper gossip and hopefully be less dangerous to the rest of us as a result.
Here is a question for all the Slashdot crowd that want all their media freed from the man. Do you want to watch content that actually costs a lot to produce Not often.
you know with writers Labors of love tend toward much higher quality than the output of paid writers.
actors Yes, please, if it means replacing these big-name big-ticket designer-marketed wooden figureheads.
sets And sfx? All just a distraction from the fact that nothing of consequence is really going on here.
This would mean pretty much anything beyond game shows and reality TV. Isn't the latter just newspeak for the former?
Do you want to just watch content mostly produced for free on YouTube, kind of entertaining and weird, but not exactly compelling drama? See, I'm not really in the target market for network TV. I don't buy much consumer crap, I don't much care to lose hours of my day to staring at the same thing as the other monkeys (except/.), I see through the Precious Roy non-sequiturs of advertising ("Our spokesman is demented and manic! Snap into our petrified meat! Suckers!") and prefer not to expose myself to it, and I consider TV as little more than a crutch to go out another day and let yourself get screwed by the very people you're watching TV to fit in with.
Unless you're talking about politicians, then they don't get fired at all for making more than several mistakes. Please go tell that to Gary Hart, Elliot Spitzer, Michael Dukakis, Tom Delay.... How could the elites not want to throw Spitzer to the wolves? When he was AG he actually spoke of revoking tobacco companies' corporate charters. Hart and Dukakis probably weren't fully on-board with the one-party system. DeLay was just doing his job and probably will never have to work again.
It is also in politics that the product naively thinks they're the customer.
Law enforcement has "good faith" exceptions to just about every rule in the book. Besides that, the AAs need the lawyers and guns on their side to ensure a predictable market for bubblegum teen music. Would you give that up for one shot at a paltry $222k?
In case you didn't notice, the elites in the US ignore peaceable assemblies and everything you learned in high school social studies is bald-faced bullshit. Who needs noblesse oblige when you have Blackwater?
Try solving some real problems that advance society. Building crap just because selfish rich people are wasteful enough to make you wealthy providing them with useless toys is nothing to be proud of. ... and what did you do today to solve real problems that advance society? Personally, I'm just about to solve real problems and advance society by walking to the supermarket.
The purpose of the recording industry is to create and market quality recordings of audio performances[1]. If you haven't made a few hits already you probably won't have $20k worth of musical equipment in your acoustically shielded basement, and you're probably not going to make a hit in your garage with a room mic plugged into your soundcard. The recording industry solves that chicken-and-egg problem quite efficiently, albeit on terms only slightly less repugnant than the payday advance industry.
That said, I've heard some really great stuff coming from two poverty-class guys with about $1000 in old gear, two K6^2-400 PCs, and two living rooms containing "active" young children. Production quality was clean and good, roughly equivalent to what you might hear in made-for-cable movies. They aren't making money off of it, but they're both dedicated to poverty, for various reasons. I've also had a few well-to-do BBS friends form a rock band; they sounded great live but at the time they didn't have what it took on either side of the window to make consistently listenable (thus saleable) tracks. Too bad too.

Yet we're still dealing with this, twenty years after similar schemes proved inane on the Commodore 64. I fully grok that developers don't give a damn if they're making users' lives harder for no reason. But it puzzles me that they don't understand that it's worse for them, too: it wastes development resources on snake-oil protection schemes, and it diminishes consumers' view of the company name. But they just don't seem to learn. Access control that will deter (not eliminate) casual (not professional) unlicensed use (not mass distribution) isn't really that difficult, in this age of automatic code obfuscators and drop-in cryptography.
Your average on-the-ground coder doesn't care for DRM any more than the users, so please direct any blame to management, where lies the inability to understand that everything digital is on the honor system anymore.
A quick look at dcraw source code would have informed you that it can, indeed, get MUCH more fancy than that. Ignoring the complexity of containers (typically TIFF) and "encryption", pixel data is often compressed. You can see routines for Huffman coding, adaptive differential coding, even lossless JPEG for newer Canon DSLRs. It's starting to look more like an ECE4760 final project now, no?
And who is going to do the actual "seizing" of the equipment? Feds? Local gendarmes? (I can imagine that will go over big in some jurisdictions.....devoting time and manpower to seizing some geek's equipment for sharing music...)
If the Miller case in Arizona is any guide, I imagine they'll just order you to bring your data in for imaging. An enabled secure delete facility may require some explanation, lest it be construed as destruction of evidence.
