63 and still amazed at the Daft Morons that come out of college. 42 years of working at one company (with 5 different names).
The new hires are woefully trained at embedded programming. They are all trained for web work. Which is the way I was straight out of college, except I was trained to be a "professor", not real work.
Corporate types want managers (supervisors) to be HR people, not lead engineers. Therefore the decisions are political and not engineering.
Savage Empire by Jean Lorrah. One important scene in the story is a telepath who can "see" inside of the body makes a 3d model of a tumor by hand in clay and the brain of his ally's father. The ally (a savage lady) then makes the tumor, "not be" telekineticly. As the tumor is removed, he as to remake both models as the brain expands back into the empty space. Patient lives.
They determine membership in their government by race. That too should be outlawed and all treaties null and void, they are in violation of many non-discrimination laws.
And yes, I am Sioux Indian!
Sounds like a good way for someone to shutdown your internet. Fake a root login attempt from every IP. You will lose all incoming internet for 90 days.
Here in Oklahoma, we are desperately looking for programmers, engineers, and believe it or not: welders. Three local companies have Billboards up looking for welders, who are paid more than engineers!
That's OK. We can differ on what is the definition of a local store. from the original article. "What brick-and-mortar stores make sense where you live?" That is what I meant. B&M near me "local" verses remote: long drive either for me or for my UPS driver.
I am not "in love" with the buy local slogan. Those that push that, better never take money from out-of-towner's. My "local" stores are filled with out-of-state tags because we are 25 mi from the border. I live in a medium town (36,000) 1/3 of the workers drive in from 25 miles away in larger cities.
If we loose BB, all I have left is Target, Wal-mart, Staples, Office Depot and of course the INTERNET.
My last 3 laptops came from Staples. Good Prices, Good Selection and NO pushy salesman!
AND no LOUD music.
Most of our programmers have been here more than 20 years. I have been there 36 years. We are on a hiring binge. The off-shore people are NOT working out. as our local managers told corporate.
There is another part to the open access. Trade associations that publish specs. They want anywhere from $100-$1000 for a specification that MUST be used to manufacture equipment. Those specs are written by employees of many businesses (users). These associations do not pay taxes.These specs should be published as e-books for a reasonable price. $35 for example. They are still living in the 50s.
Had a Lie Detector, that measured your brain waves. It was used routinely in court. It is no longer under copyright, so it is free (or should be) on most of the e-readers or on the web.
I've re-educated myself every few years, as needed from punched cards all the way to tablets. From Fortran all the way to C++, JS, CSS, etc. I've worked for the same company for 35 years, made it through over 20 layoffs. I think it is skill, training, work ethic, and yes, personality. I've moved to the tech ladder. I volunteer in the community and have a happy, close family life. Maybe, some of you should consider coming to the Hidden Silicon Vally, Oklahoma. Where the houses are reasonable, the taxes are lower, the recreation is abundant, the air clean. Our rush hour is from 5:00 to 5:05.

Are you sure Frank or Marvin did not do this for the CIA?

another "Death Panel" justification.
Actually the book was 21. The movie change it to 30 to match the actors. In the book it was a sleep shop, not Carousel. Details, Details

My sarcasm tag did not get passed on!
The first thing I saw was MIT vs GPL. What is the difference between the two?

Me Too, HP DV6
Nope! I just verified it is "firefox will remember history"
Maybe it is one of my add-ons: BeefTaco?
Every time Firefox upgrades, it wipes out my login cookies. It forces me to re-login to my sites. Is there a way to turn this dictator off?

Check your history. This is the way it was in Britain. Until a Judge ruled otherwise.

A web site like CMS matrix (use to be) where there is a table of *ALL* issues and responses that I can compare against each other and "my views"
OK 3 km, Cal, 25 km Also type of ground type of fault All of these variable make magnitude vs damage unreliable.

I think certain people ( first post, LOL, etc.) should be charged with hacking. ;)
