Ah yes, I forgot to calculate our overt addiction with buying never-go-offroad vehicles large enough to be considered military battlefield transport. I stand corrected.
Moist modern sedans weigh this easy, don't even need to go to pickups or suvs (which weight closer to 6-8k). Camaro weight (it's a 2 door) is 3800 lbs. ABS, Airbags all take up weight.
Even a Prius curb weight is 3k A Smart Car weighs in at 1800 lbs.
Protip: if your "truth" winds up offending lots of people, there's a good chance it's actually just your own shitty opinion. And, y'know, it's fine to have shitty opinions, it's even often fine to spout your shitty opinion out loud, it's just not a good idea to delude yourself into thinking that shitty opinion is "truth".
Furthermore, if you then feel the need to call people who object to your shitty opinion "snowflakes", there's a good chance that you're actually as sensitive, if not more so, than the people who are telling you where to stick your shitty opinion.
Was this true when a minority spoke out about slavery, or segregation, etc?
Hilarious!.. Ok, so the homeowner can sell his place to the person needing it for (say) $300K and then a month later buy it back for (say) $298.5K instead of taking $1500 in rent for a month. Would that satisfy you? They can do this every month until person 2 no longer needs to buy it etc.
Do you ask them to rekey your office door and the building access to match the doors at home? I thought not.. you carry one key for home, and one key for work.
If they wanted me to buy my own lock then I would
The point here is your employer cannot demand to control your property. You want to control something you pay for it.
Whether or not I will agree to carry a second phone is orthogonal. I might if my job required it but not if it was just for being able to work off hours. But again, that's beside the point.
You shouldn't trust your own network to begin with. How do you make sure no-one plugs in whatever they want?
Managed switches.
No unauthorised devices get plugged in. Every device has to authenticate with the switch (so not simply MAC address blocking).
From the fine summary:
Because you own the device, you have certain rights to what is on the device and what you can do with the device.
Yeah right, feck off.
When you BYOD onto my network, we control it, we can wipe it, we can install and uninstall apps and if you dont agree to our terms, dont bother complaining that you cant BYOD. BYOD is not open slather, if you want to bring your own device, fine, we welcome that but you will be registering it with our MDM (Mobile Device Management) system before you're even so much as able to put mail on there, that means our policies get enforced on your device (and your administrative privileges for that device get taken away). Sorry, but this part isn't negotiable.
Well, if it was my choice to B[M]YOD, I'd let IT get admin privileges on my devices. But if its at the company's insistence, then hell no! Here's the deal: - I can do off-hours work if I get email on my phone. - I won't carry a second phone for work - I am willing to add my work email on my phone PROVIDED:
-- I am not required to register my device for monitoring
-- I and ONLY I have admin rights on my phone
-- No remote monitoring of my phone allowed
I will, however, agree to follow policy like setting a passcode, time-out locking, enable find-my-phone and remote wipe (which I will control).
I mostly have various rss feeds on my iGoogle home page. Very, very useful to quickly see what's happening on pages I pay attention to. (Like, Slashdot, of course.)
I don't use many of the other gadgets/toys. Well, Weather Underground, Woot watcher, Google Finance are useful, but I could live without them.
Are there alternative sites that provide a similar function?
Netvibes looks pretty decent actually.. Just created a dashboard full of rss feeds iGoogle-style. Bye google.
I'm a developer turned dev manager turned VP of software development.. In my current dev team, 2 of 6 developers are college dropouts (both told me they couldn't afford college anymore)
One is now taking courses while working to get his degree, the other plans to do it sometime.
It's all about the interview. If your resume doesn't suck, you get a call. If you nail your phone interview, you get invited in person and by that time its just a matter of you not doing anything stupid. That's my MO as far as hiring is concerned.
Education is just secondary to your other qualifications. It may help, but it almost never hurts. I tend not to think too highly of people who have too many certifications. That says they had nothing better to do than to seek anonymous approval of their ability of follow instructions/manuals.
Perhaps an interesting fact is that I passed on several post grads to hire my latest developer (who is a second year college dropout) and I couldn't be happier with him. He started at a relatively low salary but is scheduled to get a significant raise not quite 4 months since he's joined

not 2000 lbs, averaging 4000 lbs (as of 2010).

Moist sedans? :D
Did you mean "flout"?
Just you wait until the moon sets. No longer high ground. You will be destroyed. Muahaha
And yet, this is, in a way, very similar to just flinging a baseball bat (or whatever) towards a group of people, isn't it?

But why does the state government need to have offices (or labs, whatever) in the bay area?

Seconded.. My behavior exactly!
Fair Enough.. Thanks
It may sound silly, but there are some practical reasons to do that.
Such as? (I'm really curious)

Vi user myself, but I just noticed that "vi" is at the "core" of "evil" :)
Is a drop 9% of the ocean.. Stupid "hyperbolists"
Wow.. So you're saying, if every A is B and every B is C, then.... every C is A? What logic school did you go to?

I feel like throwing in the towel and getting the hell out of this country.
Don't do that! You'll need your towel if you're going to travel!
Ha. The "I-can't-do-it-because-i'm-better-than-most" argument.
Umm.. that's almost 5%!!
I'm not saying it's not a business device (it isn't)
So you said you weren't saying something right before you actually did say it..
#confused
That statement does imply that the OP finds HFS+ to be either "unreliable" or "slow" or both. So it may in his opinion be "broken"
I have to say.. putting the opening brace for the start of a function on a new line is pretty retarded
Umm.. in Soviet Russia.. the software designs you??

Seems like "interesting" is the author's favorite word
