The article may not mention america-- but the thread title does. So the parent is not 'typically american' but rather one might be inclined to say that you are 'typically...' whatever you want to call it. Especially since on substance you agree with the post that comparing America to Korea is not worthwhile.
trash DeVry all you want. My paycheck for being a developer converts to currency just the same as any of you with 'proper' degrees.
Props to these guys-- that is a nice project. Those of you slamming our school-- you know what you can do. I think DeVry comes in right behind Microsoft on the 'acceptable bashing' scale here at the dot.
I knew early on in college Raman would be the ultimate solution to many problems. I wasn't thinking about lasers at the time but I'm not surprised. Those scrumptious noodles. So cheap, so easy to prepare.
I know that when collection agencies call-- this is the phrase they use. They are required by law not to leave a message that says it is to collect a debt-- so they just say it is not a sales call. Not saying it is that for sure-- but that is what they do. (Could be skip tracers- and you live near a debtor's old address or have a similar name too)
I took the Bush part out and here is what we have: We allowed, and are still allowing, companies like Microsoft to do their dirty dealings.
I'm not crazy about some of the outcomes in regards to MS and their business practices but I know for a fact that there are many very, very intelligent people who are just fine with what they do and how they do it.
If you ask me, the rest of the world is leapfrogging us in technology because our opinion of ourselves is too high.
I'm not really sure how this follows. America still leads in research in many areas-- proud or not. But leave nationality out of it. Is pride damaging to technical skill and knowledge? I'm not sure that is necessarily so. I don't like pride either but I'm not sure it will keep one from being intelligent and making technological advances.
We need to quit believing that we are the best and that all we need to do is pray to Jesus to fix all our problems.
I'm not sure how many people believe this-- but those that do are not thinking accurately. I'll agree with you on that, though we may disagree on how pervasive this mindset is in the U.S. It is my opinion that in the national 'debate' too many stereotypes have become accepted as fact. Many people who would hold different opinions from yours (from what I've read in your post) on economics, politics and religion are highly intelligent and well-informed. They just happen to disagree with you.
Just by looking at the topics you are adressing- I would be hesitant that any statement could be 'true to fact' as there are so very few known 'facts' and so very many opinions.
You seem to have drawn a direct correlation between intelligence and the extent to which a person agrees with your ideology. Might be worth rethinking.
Really the only thing that would be better is if they could devise a way to make it impossible for people to install their software in a manner that violates the license.
How many more people would start taking a hard look at FOSS if they couldn't get their 'free' MS products?
Ooops - sorry about that. I use postgreSQL professionally but I work for a small company (300 people or so) and our IT department is very small. I have admin rights on everything so I forget what can happen in the environment you describe. Thanks for correcting me.
The installer creates a postgres user on the system if there is not one already and gets the service running.

Who the fuck is going to go to bat for us when we get owned by more organized terrorists (or internal conflict) when anything the leaders of our country have said over the past 10 years is proven bullshit?
I agree that your post is interesting but I can't make heads or tails of this sentence-- care to elaborate?
The site says they have 'pills' and describes them as "hort, mostly unedited articles about free software written by our readers. They can be commentaries, editorials, and so on. Ideally, we will have one different pill every day."
I love the idea- but I don't know that I would put one right on the front page of the site. Today's pill contains a grammatical error in the first couple sentences. Until I did some poking around I thought it was an actual article. If I had not found the explanation above I would have written this magazine off.
I have to shut down my lap top a lot. I agree with your other points-- and I don't mind the wait, but there's a good case for needing to boot up regularly.
So does this mean the print magazine Wide Open is officially dead? I got my first copy-- went to subscribe (at the redhatmagazine url) and they said they were switching to the magazine being free. I thought - 'Yeah!' and then filled out the application. Since then... silence.
I wonder if this is taking its place and they decided to act like Wide Open never happened. (the jokes are too obvious - please don't even bother)
I had a friend in the Navy who would make his own chess sets using lead figurines. He always won because I'd forget which pieces were which.
At least this set it doesn't seem that it would be too difficult to keep track of who was what.
I hated it when I'd move my 'orc w/wolves' piece and he'd say - 'You can't do that with a bishop.'-- 'A bishop?! I thought that was a knight!!' -- 'It doesn't matter you'll be in check mate in a minute anyway.'--'How?'-- 'You left your king wide open in that corner.'--'My king? That elf is my king?'-- and so on.
that CBS seems to have difficulty understanding that sometimes the best thing one can do is just to drop an issue and wait for people to get caught up in the latest Britney or Paris 'scandal'. Within a month most people will have forgotten about the forged documents and they can go back to business as usual. Fighting it just brings back all the memories.
It doesn't make a lot of sense from the outside-- and of course like anything that large there is room for improvement-- but it's not as bad as you think. The JSF will save money by doing some standardizing in the aircraft arena.
They are consolidated into one armed force-- the United States Department of Defense- with its various branches.
The Osprey program may still work out. I wouldn't completely write it off yet.

perfect. i read it 4 times and i still have no idea what it says.
So that is what the idiots who are constantly spamming by blog call themselves?

so it's "REEZE!!!"
Knowing someone got the reference was worth any loss of karma.
the characters in the comic don't look like you guys?

from the newbie review - "Does the air force require its pilots to buy their own F-18s?"
I guess that's because from independance day on every fighter jet in every film is an F-18 no matter what branch of the military is involved.
I don't know about you -- but FPS Doug is sure to be all over this.
