Nope. That manager is long gone...but for a completely different reason. The guy had a temper problem. Eventually he blew his stack one too many times and was dismissed. It's long enough ago that I can't remember precisely what set him off, but the end result was him going bat shit crazy on one of the vending machines in the break room.
(Yes, for the 5'th time, we _are_ saving the data in an Oracle database.)
That might sound like a dumb question, but I have worked ata place where they actually weren't saving the data. Oh, it LOOKED like it was being saved, but every couple of weeks disk space would get tight and one of the programmer/admins would purge the data he didn't think we needed. This went on for almost a year before anyone noticed what was going on. When confronted with his actions his response was, "Well I put in a request for more disk space, but never heard back about it."
And you know what happened to the guy??? NOTHING. He still works there. He's probably been promoted by now.
void foo() {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++){}
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++){} }
you'll get a compiler error stating that i has been declared twice. For some reason, Visual C++ puts the 'int i' in the function scope rather than in the loop's scope.
When I was in the military we were required to use a font called OCR-A. It was optimised for the OCR readers they had at the time (the late 80's early 90's). I was nearly 100% accurate when OCR'd - pretty good when you consider that we were OCRing text that was being produced by typewriters that had been in near constant use for 20 years.
But some sellers clearly bear in mind the potential for linguistic disasters when preparing their ads. Warren Lieu of Houston, who was selling hunting and fishing knives on eBay recently, covered all the bases. His listing advertised every sort of alphabetic butchery for his knives, including knifes and knive.
Had he been there he would have been able to verify the siezure list as they were siezing it. As things are now, there is no way he can contest what was siezed and what wasn't
Either that or there is someone up there in the Chinese Communist Party came to the realization that maglev is a gigantic boondoggle. It could be that the proof of conscept prooved that it was just too expensive to be used on a large scale.
How about we just let the parents decide what they think is acceptable for their own children.
and dude! what did the rich ever do to you to earn so much hate? Is it jealousy? Did a volvo run you off the road once? What is it that makes you think that rich parents neglect their kids?
My migrane flag is faint flashes of light when I close my eyes and a ringing in my ears. Then my scalp starts to tingle. If it's going to be a particularly bad migrane my teeth start to feel fuzzy, I break out in a cold sweat, and I feel dizzy and disoriented.
I have yet to find a drug that works at stopping my migranes once they get started.
One odd thing that works for me is immersing my hands in a sink full of hot (almost scalding) water.
Another (less savory) thing that works for me is vigorous excercise. Running up and down stairs usually does the trick. I describe this as a less savory method because, occasionally, at some point during the excercise the pain and disorientation get so bad that I undergo severe motion sickness.
Fortuantly I don't get migraines nearly as often as I used to. I used to get them once or twice a month, now I might get one or two a year.
This may vary from state to state, but according to the HR rep where I used to work, when asked for references the offial company policy was to only verify that the person had worked there in the past. She claimed that to say anything derogatory in reference to that persons employment at the company was an invitation to litigation against both the company and the individual that made the comments.
So my advice to you: If that shitheel is talking smak about you behind your back, talk to a lawyer. They might be interested in an action against a nice juicy multinational company.
According to the author, while life expectancy has gone up in the last hunderd years, it isn't happending because people are living any longer than before. The rise is a result of dramatically reduced rates of infant mortality.
Once the infant mortality rates are removed from the life expectancy formula, people are only living a few years longer than they did a hundred years ago.
Sorry, I didn't mean to force marriage on anyone. What I meant is that marriage is currently defined as between a woman and a man. Changing that seems like a sin against language.
Good points! If I could give an award for best followup post yours would be it.
In regards to the eating of the King James Bible. I heard that argument on NPR a week or so ago. It was regarding the affect of same sexed marriage in either Norway or Sweeden. The gist of the story was that the country in question had legalised same sexed marriage some time ago had found that to be detrimental to the concept of marriage. I found the story remarkable because the station usually had a fairly liberal slant to it.
These actually aren't my arguments, I just (poorly) paraphrased them from other places. I don't remeber where I read the first one. I heard the second one on the local public radio station (This actually surprised me, since it's normally a pretty liberal station). I read the third on in NRO online.
My point was that it is not necessary to be a religious person to be against same sexed marriage.
When you get right down to it, applying reason to something as emotional as marriage really doesn't make much sense. That's why I'm torn on the issue. I can't come up with a good reason why it should be forbidden, but at the same time I don't this is an important enough issue to force a change on the vast number of people to whom this is a big deal.
One thing I am certain of: a Constitutional ammendment on this issue is a bad idea.
Not all arguments against same sexed marriage are religous based. Here's three that aren't:
- The primary purpose of a marriage is to grant legal status to a man and a woman for the purpose of raising a family. Same sexed couples cannot have children on their own, therefore they should not have be entitled to the protections of marriage.
- Marriage is 'special'. Places that have allowed same sexed marriages have seen increased divorce and infidelity. Same sexed marriage takes away the 'specialness' of marriage.
- Marriage is not a right, it is, at best, a tradition or custom. Marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman.
I have not made up my mind on the subject of same sexed marriage. To me, it isn't an imporant issue .
Usage Note: The traditional rule holds that fewer should be used for things that can be counted (fewer than four players), while less should be used with mass terms for things of measurable extent (less paper; less than a gallon of paint). However, less is used in some constructions where fewer would occur if the traditional rule were being followed. Less than can be used before a plural noun that denotes a measure of time, amount, or distance: less than three weeks; less than $400; less than 50 miles. Less is sometimes used with plural nouns in the expressions no less than (as in No less than 30 of his colleagues signed the letter) and or less (as in Give your reasons in 25 words or less).

They changed the locks when they let him go.

Try this in Visual C++

You can see an example of OCR-a it here.
From the article:
it warms my heart to see that you used the proper "You're a moron" rather than the ever more common "Your a moron" or the coloquial "U R a m0r0n".
Nice work.

Small world then!
Do you call him Maurice because you think you know him, or because he speaks of the pompatus of love???

Leaving the premisis was probably a big mistake.

Tea is great stuff. I espescially like the Organic Chai Cinamon from Uncle Lee's Tea.
A nice cup of tea with a bit of milk and honey really takes the sting out of a stressful afternoon.
