1. understand how what they are doing impacts things 2. give them projects that they enjoy 3. encourage them to make their own projects 4. set aside money to encourage things:
"steve, I wanted to let you know we appreciated you staying late and working on x last week, so we put $300 extra in your paycheck" 5. have them interact w/ people outside of dev. If your developers interact with customers they understand how what they're doing impacts things and they get to see the rewards of people being satisfied by their good work.
Oh, and say "Thank you".... a lot.
6. Lastly: Ask them what you could to to make their job better and more productive.
yeah, I'd agree with the above poster. You're going to have a high rate of disk failure, and either you're going to have to worry about maintaing those disks setting up some kind of hardware monitoring for each disk and then figuring out when it failed and replacing it w/in as short of a window as you possibly can or you can go with a commercial vendor and get a support contract and then come in in the morning and see three emails that say "disk failed" and then tracking messages of the tech being sent out and having the drive replaced w/in 4 hours. You can go cheaper on the onset, sure, but unless you're going to have a dedicated staff for this, your cost savings come in lowering your complexity and not needing to dedicate resources to maintain the thing.
You don't have the right to pee on me, that would be assault, but you have the right to pee on any consenting adult you please. Your rights extend as far as they can with out impeeding the rights of others.
Sounds like a weird conclusion to draw from the data they got - it sounds to me more like teenagers play less videogames as they get older. Otherwise you'd need to compare each age vs each age in previous years, not have each individual rate if they play more or less games than they did a year ago. Of course you're going to play less games when you're 16 as opposed to when you're 17--- you can drive and aren't stuck at home.
After your kid graduates highschool, don't let them go to college, but instead kick them out. Make them get an apartment, and a job, and bust their ass trying to pay rent and have enough food to eat. Make them tired at the end of the day... that long, hard tired where you're just glad not to be lifting anything. Let them do this for one year, and then tell them they can go to school. Tell them that year was what being poor is, and then tell them engineers, and doctors, and lawyers aren't poor. If engineering's the right thing for them, they'll pick it, and every time they start to think about quitting or taking the easy road, they'll think about that year, and how much it sucked, and realize that thinking all day isn't shit compared to lifting boxes.
The problems with education are real, but the problems with motivation in this country are much bigger. We've had it so easy for the last two generations that we've forgotton what it was like to *really* have to work hard
go buy a modem, and grab an old fax machine, then fax the documents to yourself. You should be able to fax a decent number of pages at a time and can walk away and leave it running. these will be saved as multi-page tiffs which while not pdfs and searchable at least solve part of your problem.
for I second I thought that said "Dave Thomas". Thank god it's not; it would be horrible to hear about the founder of a fast food chain being resurected and going after anyone, even if it is EA. Remember kids: zombies are never fun to play with.
It may currently be a problem to type on a cellphone, but the trend with mobile devices seem to point in the direction of the blackberry, sidekick, or palm treo. Using any of these devices, typing isn't nearly as much of a problem.
I think that the court found that they did have representation -- that they were the same company as owned the stores in california, and, as such had representation, by being citizens of the state.
Food for thought: How long does a diamond last? How long does a human last? How long does the average marriage last? Now considering these facts why isn't the used diamond market absolutely flooded? Where the hell did they go? OK My Mum had some from my Grannies that she gave to my sisters but come on, where are the rest?
Graveyards. They're a sentimental item and something most people would want their grandmothers/parents buried with.
That's the solution to the wrong problem. The problem is those systems allowing the users to use bad passwords. If a your authentication program expires passwords once every six months or so and requires non-dictionary based passwords and a combination of letters special chars. And hard passwords to crack aren't necessarally hard passwords to remember. Especially if you use some type of memory assistance, like a sentance:
"I have three dogs: elmo, burt and erney" Password: "1h3dgs:E,B&E."
the point is that system administrators should be activly sending out emails and talking to users who might have a problem with this, not disregarding important aspects of their jobs, like educating users as to a very important piece of their security.
1. client gets list of potential nodes 2. client connects to random node, using ssl encryption. 3. client surfs/does whatever 4. cops come say you were looking at blah. 5. your lawyer shows it could have been *anyone*
that's really scary to me, if correct. What about things like imagemagic? If I have a site where you can upload an image and wiz-bang-boom, my cgi calls imagemagic and modifies the image, am I using it, or is the person who used my site using it? There are a a lot of programs that are kind of ambiguious like that.
There is also the community college system. By attending a two year community college, which is open to anyone who is willing to pay the small admission price, a student who attains decent grades can transfer to most state schools.
Google may be cool, but most of its algorithms and technology are closed. We have no idea how accurate the information will end up being, and also, how corruptible.
After all, who trusts what the CIA tells us about anything?:)
Paranoia aside, the CIA world fact book in an amazing resource. It's created for US diplomats, congressmen, and government employees as well as the general american populace. It contains pretty acurate, up to date information about different countries in the world. Honestly, I'm guessing that the CIA doesn't really care enough to doctor the listed ratio of women to men under the age of 25 for peru.
I think that the strongest product that novel has is SuSE. SuSE, unlike redhat, offers *FREE* security and bug updates, and allows you to easily mirror their update server with wget/ncftpget or whatever, and point your servers at an internal update host, for FREE, unlike redhat, which charges for RHN. This, paired with the fact that SuSE has the benefit of numerous third party certifications, like IBM, oracle, and mysql - it's a no brainer. I'm really surprised that more businesses didn't move over to suse instead of red hat enterprise. Great on desktops, by the way.
I hope this isn't interpreted as flaimbait, but it is a problem. The problem, however, is not videogames it's parenting and parental responsibility. <sweeping generalization>Parents seem afraid to say no to their children</sweeping generalization> today, and that's what's required. Is an eight year old playing violent and demeaning videogames a problem? Sure - but why are they being allowed to play them?
That seems like a pretty big impact... I can't think of many places you can get a job if you don't know how to use a pencil. Maybe I'm crazy, but I wouldn't hire a janitor who couldn't figure out how to make a telephone call.

You want your people to work harder? Make them:
1. understand how what they are doing impacts things
2. give them projects that they enjoy
3. encourage them to make their own projects
4. set aside money to encourage things:
"steve, I wanted to let you know we appreciated you staying late and working on x last week, so we put $300 extra in your paycheck"
5. have them interact w/ people outside of dev. If your developers interact with customers they understand how what they're doing impacts things and they get to see the rewards of people being satisfied by their good work.

When asked about the possible ecological effects on marine life the military had no comment.
:)
I think the whole point is to protect the lives of the marines on the ships.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
There is not enumerated right to privacy either, but many, if not most, constitutional scholors agree that the right to privacy is indeed a right.

I'm sorry, did you just site mickey mouse having four fingers as your example of how he's unrealistic? He's a TALKING MOUSE!
With standard SuSE, you can download a boot cd or floppy and use that to do a ftp install. I assume it would be the same for opensuse.

Leave it open, on the outside of your firewall. Once you get an addres, vpn in with IPSEC, or just ssh -CX and run your browser off your server.
