Politicians (judges included since they run for office via the same dog and pony show as legislators) are a screwed up bunch of people. They assume everyone else is as screwed up as they are, so they come up with laws to take away our rights. They're like clergy who abuse children and in their guilt scream "Sinners!" from the pulpit at everyone in the pews, assuming they are also doing disgusting things. What else do you expect from people who just want to extract money from the rest of us while creating nothing. It takes a strange mind to pass out a collection plate while calling you a sinner, or tax you while taking away your rights.
I think it's happening already. I develop in both Oracle & SQL Server environments and for years organizations I've encountered used Oracle for one purpose and SQL Server for another. In the last two years however, many of those companies are interested in totally replacing their Oracle databases with SQL Server.
As far as MySQL, after doing a lot of development with it over several years during the late dotcom/early bust days, I haven't worked with it lately because there hasn't been much demand for it. It'll be interesting to see if that changes with Sun's involvement.
He lost his software developer job in March 2002. He got the help desk job November 2002 and is still doing the exact same job today (it's a small company with no opportunities for promotion).
A lesson seems to be that you shouldn't lie... he didn't really have another job offer but said he did. If by "learn about reading people" you mean "learn who you can lie to and get away with it" I'd say that will only get you so far.
...just wait until a few weeks before the next big delivery and tell your boss you've found another job offering you what you think you should get paid. Since he's on the hook, he'll probably try to keep you happy.
Nothing like playing poker with your career. I had a coworker who pulled this bluffing stunt only to have the boss reach out to shake his hand and wish him luck at the new job. The guy thought he was an invaluable software developer and had a rude awakening. He finally got a job 8 months later at a help desk.
It is a television network that had Seinfeld back in the 90s. I haven't watched a minute of NBC since then, so they can go nuts with this flag thing as far as I'm concerned. Actually, all the networks can have at it, several years ago I stopped watching all television shows except Southpark. If ComedyCentral decided to set some flag so that I couldn't dvr Southpark during the week and watch it the following weekend, I'd just stop watching it and instead rent the season dvd when it finally came out.
Not a good comparison. Those cars typically seat four adults. This thing seats 2 (read the older article on this topic). Two seater cars (other than sports cars, again, toys for the rich) get much better than 27.5 mpg. The Honda Insight is a two seater hybrid getting 60 mpg city / 66 highway.
How can we read the article if the site's already down after just 19 comments? This is part of the problem, if everyone waited to read the article then comment, the story would already be a day old.
Try solving some real problems that advance society. Building crap just because selfish rich people are wasteful enough to make you wealthy providing them with useless toys is nothing to be proud of.
Small music venues are being targeted in Chicago; it appears that the city wants to make sure the only live music shows are in large arenas. Who benefits? Let's see. No more opportunities for independent artists to perform. Hmmm, guess the only way to hear live music is to go to a huge arena to see some crappy pop act produced by riaa minions. So are laws like this being proposed in other cities? Is Chicago just the start? Is this the next step in music industry dominance?
Shower views is still several years off. Google knows all, including the need to desensitize us somewhat slowly. Google Hallway Views will be released with government support under the guise of helping rescue workers save you in case of fire. Google Kitchen Views will get the "think of the children" chant going because it will help prevent childhood kitchen accidents or CKA as the advertisements will inform us - "with Google Kitchen Views we can stamp out CKA in the next decade." In a similar manner, Google Shower Views and Google Bedroom Views will follow.
Television is far more damaging to youngsters. But of course, the industry and advertisers would never allow television safety classes since they want kids watching destructive content and buying junk food, becoming perfect little consuming sheep.

What kind of boring, paranoid fucks call the cops when they see this? They should want to run outside and check it out. People who call the cops on a kid like this are the same small number of people who still approve of Bush's job as "president". Don't people know that creative problem solvers and tinkerers like this are the ones who actually make the world a better place?
Remember last month when a Danish journalist was talking on his cell phone and wandered into a woman's lawn? She came after him with a gun of all things!
She has a great track record - founded Marimba, product manager for Java at Sun. I'm not surprised that Microsoft would want to be involved with her when it comes to their open source interests.
I like it a lot as mentioned in my post above. I really like aero and as time goes by it becomes less a matter of "eye candy" and more something that makes you productive.

I thought not.
Stick to topics that you actually know about kiddo.

The administrative things... payroll, taxes, licenses, etc. eat up a surprising amount of time if you are operating legitimately.
Welcome to Chicago!
For those asking why not California, lots of good internet structure here (those heavy usage financial firms have data centers here for a reason)

Did anyone else read this as "Bender" at first?

Now if only they'd specialize in solar law.
Did he end up with a mean party, or a median or mode?

In the 1971 movie The Andromeda Strain a flashing red light causes a seizure.
4GB, that's precious! Thanks for the laugh.
