Wow -- you are so sharp and witty and so absolutely right! Adobe has nothing to offer but Flash!!!
It's not like they own Phonegap for creating naive Mobile Apps with HTML5 and JS, or have their HTML5/jQuery Edge App, or do anything at all but try to promote Flash! Because Adobe is all about Flash! It's just Flash Flash Flash, all day and night for Adobe. They have no other products and boy -- are they going to get it because here comes HTML5, our lord, savior and messiah and boy -- HTML5 is gonna kill Adobe!
Adobe is so dead -- hurr-durr!
FFS -- some days./ users just make my had effing hurt so much.
"Failure to comply" is no reason to use a taser. A taser should only be used when an immediate threat requiring non-lethal force is present. Using it as a cattle prod on the sheeple is abusive and places the lives of the victims of this abuse at risk. Certain drugs and medical conditions can make people susceptible to seizures or heart failure when exposed to so much current.
Not missing much - it's a pretty crapy movie over all. It's basic premise is based on Captain Willard's intro sequence in Apocalypse Now.
I'd wake up and there'd be nothing. I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said "yes" to a divorce. When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. I'm here a week now... waiting for a mission... getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time I looked around the walls moved in a little tighter.
But they wait till the end to show you that. So it ends up being all about this jack-off who works as a bomb squad expert defusing IEDs and what not who keeps re-enlisting for another tour because it's all he can deal with any more. He's little more than a caricature of a risk junky with a death wish.
The plot consists of a few people dying, David Morse making a brief appearance as a gung-ho Colonel filled with bravado in homage to Duvall's Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore, how relatively untrained US regulars are able to out shoot and outlive highly trained SAS in a fire fight against a few insurgents holed up in a shack and how he risk of getting blewn-up is a hellofa rush.
And that's about it.
Frankly I'd have liked it better if it featured a Humvee odyssee up the Highway of Death to find a Colonel Kurtz character leading a group rebel Kurds holding their own against both the US Allies the Insurgents with Kurtz' command being terminated during the goat slaughtering for a Ramadan feast.
I recommend setting yourself about fixing some of that long list of fundamental flaws in MySQL. To potential employers it will show that you are a good little worker bee who can set aside personal preferences and feelings to endear himself to corporate drudgery.
A win/win in your case if you ask me -- I see a shared cube and a long task list of bug fixes in your future.
How quickly we forget the lessons learned on September 11th, 2001.
And what lesson is that?
Take repeated intelligence reports from your allies seriously? Bother to read and take heed of reports entitled "Bin Ladin plans to attack within the US" that detail planned use of aircraft?
Ohh -- I'm sorry, I forgot.. we're all supposed to shove our heads up our ass and run around in fear while the US Government takes away more and more of our rights every time they say boo.
Crabtree notes that Hammond... has also since been added to a terrorist watch list.
So hacking into a Corporation will now get you labelled as a Terrorist and could land you life in prison. Seems that being a plain ol' armed robber and/or murderer would net you far less severe a punishment.
Seems that if a crime happens on the internet, the punishment is automatically increased 10 fold from it's brick and mortar counter-parts.
The submitter comes off as an angry, abusive tool. Maybe he should fire himself for having a hand in hiring an "idiotic turkey" to begin with. It's likely that the developer wasn't all that bad, but stopped giving a shit after being berated by an abusive asshole for umpteenth time.
I for one think that all grade-school aged children should be given mandatory brain scans two or three times a year with bad results requiring the child to immediately be put into the nurturing safety of a Foster Care Facility and their Parents locked up for good.
Sometimes technology brings such wonderful possibilities for the safety of the Children!
Do you also hold hopes of having intelligent conversations with a parrot or mocking bird? There's a huge difference between mimicking sounds and understanding linguistics.
Just make it totally impossible to ever register a stolen serial number for new service and this should slow way down.
Why? And turn away a new contract?
Back in the 90's this was the norm. They'd match the ESN against a database of reportedly stolen numbers. They don't give a flying fuck anymore and would rather get a new subscriber and contract than do anything to protect the lives and well being of the peons, err... current subscribers already locked into contracts.
Any study taken by the Police State formally known as Great Britain that strives to set a course for conduct within the household should be viewed as suspect. Immediately, I would think this is little more than a ploy to goad Parliament into passing a whole new set of overreaching laws to invade the privacy of citizens households to insure that "children are being brought up in a safe environment that encourages good social behavior". Hefty fines and jail times for letting your children watch TV before the gov't sanctioned age limit is not at all far fetched based on what I've seen from that fascist Nanny-State as of late.
Yet the real message of the story is learning that catching a pokemon isn't just about stuffing it into a ball and forcing it to fight: It's about building a bond of trust and mutual friendship between the pokemon and trainer, which if properly fostered allows them to accomplish anything together
Which is just another form of animal abuse to PETA. They believe no one should have a pet, and that domesticating animals is just another form of abuse. Hell, some PETA members even think that damaging insect habitats during construction is akin to genocide.
PETA is nothing but a gaggle of whack-jobs. But, they put naked chicks on parade, so I give them a pass.
And why should tobacco be outlawed? Let them pay for the use via taxes and sky-high insurance premiums. Freedom has a cost, so let those who exercise it pay that cost -- but don't take away our freedoms for your convenience or lifestyle perspectives.
For the record, I occasionally smoke a pipe -- but that is a far, far different thing than cigarettes. Granted, you do get second hand smoke, but most everyone I've talked to actually enjoys the secondhand smoke unlike that from cigarettes or cigars. And what about the secondhand smoke from hardwood fires and BBQs? Shall we outlaw that too?
I've been an Independent Contractor in IT specializing in architectural and product consultation for early phase startups and internal product start-ups and prototyping for established enterprises. And in over 10 years and never have any shortage of work.
Yet I never went to college, am self taught and have never once bothered with shelling out cash for any bullshit certificate nor do I maintain any sort of web presence or "portfolio"
I merely have a resume on Craigslist, which most comment on being rather impressive and features some pretty big names and interesting projects.
In all the years I have been doing this, even when I was first starting out -- I obtained my work by being able to describe highly advanced yet exceedingly efficient solutions to my client's seemingly complex problems.
Of course, sometimes, descriptions aren't enough -- on occasion you will need to provide a proof of concept, the time for which you should be compensated for -- if successful in proving your point that is. For instance, to win a contract with a client to build a new social music service, I spent a week creating a prototype site out of my proposed frameworks and specifications featuring streaming on-demand music to an spider-friendly HTML5 AJAX UI with no plugins aside for degradation for archaic browsers with demonstrated mobile browser compatibility as a technical proof. That went over very well and I'm presently building the real deal.
Of course, offering proofs of concept might not work if you're looking for a rank and file job -- but, in any technical interview, the white board is your friend. You should always make a point to get up and draw out what you're talking about. You'd be surprised how effective a back of the napkin diagram can be in making your case. And it allows you to make a presentation and thus, take charge of the interview room.
But in the end, it all hinges on you being able to identify the problem and compose a compelling if not novel solution on the fly. I've found that there's not a great many that can do that, especially while under pressure in an interview room.
Maybe it was the lack of cult around Domscheit-Berg who shows himself to be every bit an attention whore -- but far less skillful at it than Assange.
And frankly, starting off by stealing then destroying submitted leaks that people went to lengths to procure might not have sent a very positive or encouraging message to the community at large.
I believe it is well known that a good, strong and colorful sugar pill administered with a tall glass of water can go a long way to curing many reported medical conditions. Frankly, I suspect that the NHS could save a substantial amount of money with this sort of treatment to the daily sundry of ills of the homemakers and saturnine types who are so fond of a visit to the physician to tend to their latest "ailments".
Ohh I'm sure NASA would if they could -- but considering the fact that they are a TAX PAYER FUNDED PUBLIC AGENCY, anything and everything written or recorded is subject to the FOIA.
Moon rocks however, being tangible assets are the sole property of the US Government and owning one, no matter where or how you claim to have procured it can lead to jail time. So don't be so quick to applaud NASA.
Great Britain to me has become a regime of politically correct tyranny and is not a country I will ever visit for any reason. Which is sad, because I've always gotten along quite well with Brits, but their laws and they're willingness to abide by rule of hyper-sensitive sissy boys and have the government be their nanny is quite deplorable.
Lay down and be calm while your wife and children are raped and murdered -- the PC-person willnbevthere shortly. Do not say anything that might ever hurt the feelings of someone or you'll go to jail Smile for the camera! Can't have enough surveillance let's add a million more cameras! Don't say or do anything that might run contrary to American law or American interest, you will be extradited even if your actions are perfectly legal here
I'm sure the fine denizens of/b/ would love to view all the bad things on the internet, and probably do it for free if not pay for the chance to get new OP.
The cost for Glacier Storage is $10 per Terabyte per month. Not sure why you are saying it's $10 - $20 per 4GB, perhaps you meant 4TB, I'm not familiar with LTO Tapes. If you are storing about 4TB of data, that would be $40/month for Glacier. However, reading back data will incur costs of $10 per Terabyte retrieved.
I probably would never use Glacier for storing internal document records, but for safely archiving DB records/snapshots and usage logs from services running on an EC2 instance after running them through analytics and aggregation, it seems like an excellent service.
The term "grey market" as used in the article is so general that it is really meaningless
Not so at all. In fact your use of the terms "Grey Market" is the one that is vague and meaningless. These days Grey Market is quite clearly a distinct term that means in the LEGAL GREY LAND between normal Consumer Market and the BLACK MARKET. So it is clear to all that products bought in this manner are not exactly a forthright business deal, but not illegal either.
On the other behind, your examples are clearly refurbished, pre-owned or privately labelled -- Which have nothing to do with market legality, since the legality of those items is never in question and the terms "pre-owned", "refurbished" and "privately labelled" are all that is needed to convey the status and origin of the equipment.
So maybe no one uses the term as it was used in the '60s (if indeed it ever was commonly used) because it's use in that manner was way off since it brought to mind a comparison to the Black Market.
