if you can't be bothered to jump through hoops to get the job in the first place, you probably wouldn't fit in at a place like raytheon which is probably nothing but people jumping through hoops all day long.
not every place works like that, but you have to recognize and avoid the ones that do, if that is your preference.
step 1. build a large box out of copper mesh screen (use wood for framing) step 2. place speakers, computer, and user inside mesh box step 3. leave cell phone outside of box step 4. profit!
with some unix-ish (or cygwin) text tools like diff and patch you should be able to extract the specific change somebody made in dreamweaver and apply that to the nicely formatted version (that you saved in subversion).
Honestly, i've *seen* what's in a lot of corporate databases and it's not all that interesting or special. Sure there's some ssn's in there and maybe some spreadsheets that shouldn't get out but it's not like every single file on every single machine contains critical proprietary data.
Obviously, managers should evaluate what the mission critical data is and take steps to keep it off of laptops and the corporate network but frankly I think they're too lazy--they'd rather blame rank and file employees and place restrictions on everyone and everything than sit and think for a second about what subset of their data is actually *harmful*.
I live in a climate with some big temperature swings, and I'd like to see an automatic way to do something that I have to do manually currently: "bank" some extra heat or cold in anticipation of the next change, usually day/night but sometimes a change in the weather too.
I'm talking about things like opening the windows on a warm day to let in a lot of heat (for free) then the furnace doesn't have to work as hard to maintain temp at night. Similar for cooling: open the house up at night so that the a/c doesn't have to work all day. Also take into account the side the sun is hitting from and set up fans to draw in or exhaust as appropriate to the thermal direction you're trying to take the house.
Not every climate has large enough temp swings to take advantage of throughout the year, but a lot can do this in the late spring and early fall.
there's a good chance that there isn't anyone actually monitoring the cameras on a regular basis. that costs a lot of money.
if someone reports a crime of some sort, management or a security company might review the tapes (or DVR) for that location and time to help identify the suspect. the rest of the time you could probably be doing all kinds of crazy stuff and no human eyes would see it.
also i've seen office situations where there are several cameras around but only one or a few near the front door or elevators is actually hooked up to anything real. there are a lot of 4 or 8 camera setups so if you see 20+ domes scattered about most of them are dummies.
one thing you can do is make friends with the security guards. unless it's a casino they'll probably have no problem showing you their monitoring station and telling you what parts of the building are really monitored on a regular basis. if you see the women's bathroom you have a case. if you see an elevator bank and the parking lot, you can probably relax.
Sometimes I wonder if there is a middle ground in the area of shared whitelists.
If someone tries to email you, and they aren't on your whitelist but they are on the whitelist of someone who *is* on your whitelist, maybe let it through or at least give it some plus points for the filter based on how many degrees away they are.
if you are about to patent some linux kernel thingy that got snuck in w/o linus knowing, sure you should raise a stink about that and not sign the patent paperwork.
but if its a patent on something ridiculously narrow or not actually useful then just go along.
if you want to quit, go ahead, but i suspect if you think real hard there are probably a couple other reasons making you think about quitting, not just patents. quit or don't quit based on the whole package. focusing on one issue is simpleminded.
Not sure how sarcastic to be about this, but google's main page is about 1.4KB and a typical results page is under 5KB.
I think the simple graphics would probably be in-cache most of the time, but even if not it's only 8.6KB on the main page and 10 kb on the results page.
Google is far from a front runner in serving up music or video clips. Google's text ads are pretty low bandwidth too.
Whatever Bell South is smoking, I want 1200 baud of it in a little plastic baggie.
They'll never admit to it, but it's possible that the most critical part of the strategy is a WINE-like environment for running the cubic buttload of windows-only applications. It's been a constant sales issue for apple. Virtual PC wasn't fast enough or transparent enough (plus it cost extra money), but something where you just click on LegacyApp.exe and do your stuff would make big volume corporate laptop sales not just easier but actually possible in a lot of cases.
I have pretty good vision, and a nice big monitor. I've tried various fonts, including some anti-aliased fonts. But still I have a lot of trouble reading the italicized text of articles.
Would you kindly consider not italicizing?
Also note that the italicized text is always double quoted anyway.
Rather than micromanage the thermostat schedule, a low-maintenance alternative would be motion or occupancy sensors in some key locations.
If you're home, you'll trigger them and get heat, if you're not then have it default to 55F or whatever is good for your area.
But as others have said, insulation and weatherproofing may be a better investment than a geeky control system. When the furnace kicks on it's not just heating you at that moment, it's got to burn a lot of fuel make up for being off for N hours.
(And if you have a 2-stage burner or dual-fuel system of some kind, the switchover to the 2nd stage or 2nd fuel is worse than just leaving the thermostat at 68F all the time.)

it's just another filter.

the comment before the graph implies that it's time, about 10 minutes.
that doesn't quite make sense though--i'd expect boot up to use extra power to overcome platter inertia and that is not reflected on the graph.

sooo.... is anything stopping you from just pasting in a bunch of alias commands when you start the ssh session?
leave a notepad window open with the alias commands selected if you do it a lot.

right, but what's to keep the spammer/phisher from setting up an auto-responder on a bot somewhere?

Side benefit is that if all the pipes are covered in foam you are far less likely to have problems with bursting from frozen pipes.
Not a problem in my area, but some locales it's critical.
most patents are crap and are never enforced.

i tried it and it works! thank you very much!

The irony is that the name "Google" is itself a misspelling of Googol.

Here's my Kari question:
How close did she come to getting fired for the time she mislead Tory about having clearance to bunny hop over a wagon on a bicycle?
How close did he come to getting fired for attempting a stupid (and kind of lame) stunt like that w/o any safety equipment?
Seriously. The equipment you describe, and the chemicals that are in use at places that have that kind of equipment are pretty dangerous if misused.
Follow instructions and don't mess around unless you want to wear an eyepatch (or two) for the rest of your life.
Follow the link next to the pictures labelled "Source (not original)" and you can see larger pictures with more detail.
wait 'til you learn about chicken functionality.
