FYI, If my time at the gym bro-learning meat-head science is worth anything, than cycling is a very inefficient movement since it overrides the hamstring which counts for over 50% of the leg muscles.
If you do it right, you use your hamstrings. They kick in toward the bottom of the stroke, and pull across the bottom and up the back.
So, by going to carbon fiber (lighter, and most likely stiffer), they'll most likely negate any benefits!
Actually, carbon fiber is more flexible than aluminum, so it would flex more. But flex is bad, not good. The ideal crank would have 0 flex, so as to transmit 100% of pedaling energy, rather than wasting it through flex.
Clearly, you do not work in the medical industry, where this shit is cutting edge, because it's cross-platform and a real upgrade from building entire applications as ActiveX in the browser. Sigh...
I feel that if someone has issues with my code, then show me better and prove me it is better.
Not necessarily a good idea; I did this to an old guy when I was straight out of college and from that day forward he would barely even speak to me. (Although in this particular case, that wasn't really a bad thing...)
Touch screens on laptops, and even more so on desktops, can useful as accessories for occasional light use. UI features that allow for direct manipulation could be a nice touch. (haha.) But a UI that is strongly touch-centric is just a stupid idea, classic "me too" from incompetent marketeers who have no clue why or how things actually work for customers.
The supreme court of Canada recently made a very radical decision I think regarding a bunch of guys who left a big bank here. Basically the court decision was that people can work wherever the hell they want for whomever will have them.
FYI, here in the U.S., the state of California, home to the greatest concentration of tech companies, works pretty much this way. Other states still allow non-compete contracts to stand as they're written, but California severely restricts their enforcement.
Read the legislation. Electronic signatures are not digital signatures, but simple bitmaps added to PDF and Word documents to make them look like ink signatures, but without any of the security of requiring actual pen-ink rather than a copy.
I know perfectly well what an electronic signature is, and what a digital signature is. The legislation makes electronic signatures as binding as physical signatures--and they don't even have to be bitmaps because plain text signatures are binding as well.
To do that every employee would at least need a *decent* graphics tablet. And no, for things where a signature is needed, you need a real signature. "digital" signatures don't cut it.
Bullshit. That hasn't been true for 10 years. Every state in the U.S., and all of the EU, and the UK, have legislation enabling electronic signatures and making them as binding as physical signatures.
How does this hold any legal water at all? Isn't the manufacturer of a product liable for patent infringements, not the end user?
No. All users of infringing products can be held liable. Most companies have the good sense not to go after end users, but it is perfectly legal. Sucks, but that's the law.
What prevents him from simply getting a BSc and leaving for another company with more pay?
Also, it's somewhat strange that the company should make an investment in his level of education, and yet the return will go to him (I'm sure he would expect a higher salary).
Lots of companies do this. You seem to completely ignore the possibility that the company could be interested in having its workers be more skilled, and willing to pay for higher skill levels.
E10 has significant detrimental effects on small 2-cyle engines already. So right now, it is already a pain in the ass to maintain chain saws, blowers, trimmers, etc because most gas you can find will corrode engine parts if you're not very very careful about handling and storage. So now it just gets worse.

Apparently some dumb fucking fantasy is way more important than stopping the rape of children.
Is that what your petition is going to say "stop all the child rape"??? Perhaps you'd do more good in this world with less attitude and more plan...
Flex isn't bad. Flex where the flex is changed to heat? Oh, that's a loss. If you can flex without heat, you don't get loss (ideal spring).
You mean if you could flex without heat you wouldn't get heat loss. But you can't and you do.

people still use java in the browser?
Clearly, you do not work in the medical industry, where this shit is cutting edge, because it's cross-platform and a real upgrade from building entire applications as ActiveX in the browser. Sigh...
Why after all these years is Java not just blocked by default?
Well, on OS X it is. What Apple just did is turn it back off for everyone who had turned it on ;-)
...everyone who's working on it has a PhD, while I'm an undergrad...
Oh. Dude. You're so screwed. No matter how over-inflated their egos, you'll always be "the one with the ego problem"!
As an engineer, I've adopted the maxim that there is no good and bad, only fitness for a particular purpose.
There may often not be absolute "good" and "better", but there most certainly is "bad"!

And recruiters wonder why it is so hard to hire experienced staff from CA to work in other states.
I think there's a whole lot more to it than that--it's the whole "social environment".

Whatever the design, it's if made in the Foxconn factory, I will never buy such product from slave labors.
So you won't own a smartphone? Or even a "feature phone"? No cell phone at all? No tablet of any kind? No portable music player?
Instead Apple sells at well over 200% markup even when you buy direct with cash up front.
Which of course explains why they "only" get 45% margins on iPhones. Oh, wait, no it doesn't ;-)

It makes the news, like it did here, and then it makes Linux as an operating system -- and everything that runs on it and depends on it, look bad.
No it doesn't. It makes Linux look an OS created by people who care very much about not breaking things for no good reason at all.
Everyone knew these were nothing more than scaled up Scuds, it's been reported on for months.
The big deal is that what everyone suspected (not knew) has now been confirmed by physical evidence.
Which is why we have things like chroot and rssh. Limiting the scope of the damage is a vital practice with those kinds of accounts.
Yep. And more directly related to the article--not being a dipshit idiot about the key files ;-)
Who exactly is it that isn't password protecting their ssh keys?
Anyone who needs services to launch without manual intervention--which is a whole lot of services and a whole lot of people...

And the next century, and the next as well ;-)
