I guess, your "mathematician" is not a big fan of "regression toward the mean". Very unfortunate. Please, stop calling charlatans mathematicians. Mathematicians do know that luck cannot be predicted or replicated.
Not only is your professor cheap, but he also is a bad teacher. Look at the facts: - If he has been teaching since the 70s, what does he know about writing requirements in the industry? - Does he actually want to prove a point betting $25 to the charity? - The fact that nobody called his bet in 30 years means that none of his students made it to a managerial position. Managerial reports, proposals, and plans do not follow the memorandum format and look very much like term papers.
I brought up hypocrisy because out of all important issues (crime, poverty, education, war, health care, etc.) your senator elected to work on a meaningless law (unenforceable and unsuccessful). I brought up KKK because the only goal of this law is to instate fear. Sounds familiar or should I continue? Witch hunt continues. New enemies of Georgia are people who teach the theory of evolution and create community web sites. As far as senator's true inspirations I can think of only two: greed or stupidity. Any which way, Georgia's state taxes can be spent a whole lot better.
Do you seriously think that this law will help parents control their children? I think the only issue here is a greedy state senator who wants immortalize her name in a meaningless law.
The fuss is about hypocrisy. The State Senate of Georgia is once again making a fool of itself by showing everyone that they have nothing better to do. Oh well... It's Georgia. KKK must be still alive and kicking there.
"The Hallows could refer to the Four Hallows of Arthurian legend. They are intimately connected to the Grail and ultimately probably go back to the Four Treasures of the Tuatha de Danaan of Irish myth.
The Four Hallows are:
The Cup or Chalice The Baton or Wand The Sword or Dagger The Coin, Disc or Pentacle
I think we were right all along in connecting the horcruxes to the four elements. These hallows are associated with the elements, and match up quite nicely to the remaining horcruxes:
Cup (HH) Baton or Wand (RR) Sword or Dagger (GG) Pentacle (SS locket)
A good manager has to be a good leader first and foremost. A non technical manager will have a very difficult time earning respect among techies. Conversely, techies will eagerly follow someone who they perceive as an expert in technical matters. Managers who can't lead are useless and should be outsourced to India.
And you, mister politician, why should you serve your community? How about telling your people that you are looking for money, fame, and power? Fortunately, there are still people in this world who are not in it for the money.
Dear so-called internet journalists. You won. Blogs are now indeed a form of publication. Now, you may be sued over defamatory, just like any newspaper. Enjoy, and no, you can't have it both ways.
There was a time when IT was a part of R&D and it's gone. A natural cycle of every technology kicks in. During emerging stages a technology is a research. After a technology comes out of the woodwork and mass-adoption starts, a technology becomes a production. There is no magic in computer development any more. Adoption and demand are so high, people literally code for food. Take a look at your ten year old coding his website and think how many people could do that fifteen years ago. The fact that there are so many companies nowadays in 3rd world counties (no offence meant) who act as major players in outsourcing means we are far beyond research and development stage in IT. We did not need business people to manage IT when it was R&D simply because any R&D requires tremendous dedication and you can't do both research and business. A production can and has to be managed. Business skills mean more than research capabilities in production. Why approach the problem with your mind if you can approach it with your pocket book and do not pay an arm and a lag? I'm not worried a single bit about IT researchers. They are very bright, hard working and will be able to adapt. One year in an MBA programs is all they need.
I guess you also believe that it's more difficult to determine what needs to be build than to engineer and produce a high quality product. Marketoids are NGAA (Never Getting Anything Accomplished) for a very good reason - they have no idea how to actually turn their ideas into reality. In fact, marketoids are out of touch with reality. Market driven doesn't mean lead by marketoids. Market driven means delivering high quality products because this is the first thing that customers want. Pay attention to two words there "delivering" and "quality" - that's what engineers do. Now look at Intel - it failed to deliver competitive products. It doesn't matter what's their marketing strategy, if someone else creates better products than you do.
You can actually argue that the entire management science grew from engineering. From where do you think business processes, case-tools, flow charts, "plan-do-check-act" etc. concepts came? Management IS Engineering taken beyond technology. Management uses proven engineering practices to create a systems approach to planning, scheduling and controlling. In any solid management plan "Expert Opinion" is an input for almost every business process.
Scythians inhabited Black Sea region and could have gone as far as Bosnia Their burial mounds - kurgans were created in a similar fashion - stone chamber + artificial pyramidal hill. Some of the kurgans are as old as pyramids - 2000 BC. Burial mounds like this are nothing new to Europe. In fact it's a traditional burial for nomands' nobility.
More than ever. RedHat is making enterprise quality Linux distribution, i.e. carefully designed, thoroughly tested, and planed support for 5+ years. Running Linux just for the sake of running Linux is not cool any more. People use Linux to actually get something done. Linux-based projects nowdays spawn for well over 5 years, and they require a solid OS provider. Fedora is really just a playground. RHEL or CentOS builds of RHEL are a lot more interesting.
Have you been there? Hear from someone who had. I was born and raised in Ukraine. Yes, this is the way it is. And in case you need proff - 800$ two way ticket to Ukraine. Any person with enough curiosity can do it.

When I first saw SiteKey feature on my BofA account, I was impressed. The SiteKey system is very effective. It's an operator who's flawed.

If you were holding a public office, would you take bribes then?
Perhaps, you did not get my point. Your government should work for you and not for its own enrichment.

You tell that to my friend who is in his 6th year working 14 hours/day.
Happy fools day!
