But the US is the ONLY country that taxes you on earnings you make overseas while in another country. I mean, not unless you make more than $90k USD a year, but you still gotta file.
I know the argument of "Well embassies" and all those other American benefits (like heath insurance..oh wait...)
NZ taxes your American retirement accounts after you've been here for four years, even if you're not a citizen (just a resident). Seriously? I've already paid taxes on my Roth IRA in one country and I have to pay takes in the future on my 401ks. What entitles NZ to any of that money? None of it was earned here?
They could be answers to your security questions. Personally, my securit question answers are alway additional passwords. I form them based off an algorithm off the first and last words in the question.
Windows 8 is a lot faster. It does look better too and games preform better. It's hardly Vista.
The start menu think was fucking dumb and they really should released an "official" start menu that works, instead of having to pay $5 for a 3rd party one.
But other than the Start Menu, Windows 8 is actually just a faster Windows 7. I don't see what everyone is bitching about.
I agree with the original poster. You do a lot of documents and Open/Libreoffiice are horrible alternatives. I'd rather write things in Markdown or Laytex than use that shit. Word is actually pretty good for what it is.
It takes a long time to get stuff published. They had to take their results, form a paper, get people to analysis it and then it goes under peer review. For us to have all this information a little over a year out is actually quite good. Also, we know it's gone under review. It could still have bad information in it, but it's less likely.
Well I doubt it's near the quality of an engineered, titanium prosthetic. But it's a start, and if the plans are open source, other designers could improve them, on their own time, for free, out of the kindness of their hearts.
Over time, we could even see ABS plastic prosthetics with the same level of engineering as the $100k versions, and maybe by then we'll even see cheaper 3D metal printers and home built CNC machines. It could change everything.
Of course, it'd be nice if we could stop seeing poor people in poor countries not losing limbs due to bombs, landmines, military strikes and predator drones.
Really? There is a lot of evidence that shows our GMOs are not good. Monsanto and Dupont based GMOs lack a lot of testing. It doesn't appear to be affecting our health now, but the long term effects could be bad. Plus, the PATENTS! It's not about science, it's about freedom of seed! Banning GMOs is an important first step to getting rid of life-patent laws. Seeds should be part of the public trust. If they become public again, I'd have no problem with GMOs that were open to people looking at them and doing real research on them; as well as people saving their seeds instead of being forced to buy terminal seed.
This idea that GMO stopped world starvation is a myth. Good cultivation can stop food shortages without the need of this GMO and with GMO, we have less diversity and more monoculture.
anti-GMO is not a conservative/republican issue. It's a global health and a progressive issue.
We should never be loyal to our race, our states or even our families. But we are. If you discovered your son or daughter was a killer, most family members would do what they could to protect that person out of a sense of loyalty. That's why people stay with companies who then make them redundant after 8 loyal years of service to cut costs.
People should only be loyal to one thing: The Human Race.
Fun fact: Kiwi student loans never gain interest and have no late fees. There's almost no point in paying them back...except if you want to leave the country. If you move to Australia, the US or any other country to work, you have to start paying off those loans and they gain interest.
There are only 4 million people here. The entire population of Melbourne (or Sydney) is this entire country.
Pff. Of course it's needed in the Kernel. How else is Linux going to get bloated as Windows? I mean come on, the Windows kernel has JPEG and PNG decoders in kernel space! (or at least it did at one point in time, hence the endless amount of IE6 security problems back in the day).
My first experience with systemd was on OpenSUSE. Although it seems like a good idea, it seems to add some unneeded complexity./etc/init.d/someservice restart now redirect to systemctl, with no real output. Oh I have to run status to see if it succeeded. Now I have to use journalctl to see why it failed.
I'm all for dependency based init systems, but I feel Gentoo got that right with OpenRC. It gets rid of all that rc1,2,3,4,5 crap while keeping the/etc/init.d/ structure we're familiar with.
Gentoo can not be setup to use systemd too. I guess it's now the future; better get use to it.
Most retails outlets have freezes on any production changes from after Thanksgiving until at least January. More likely it's either a load issue or DoS
Ugh. Inedible corn used to make High Fructose syrup and all the filler in bread, tortillas, that fake meat crap and cut with barely for the cheaper beers (PBR, Budweiser, Coors, etc.)... I wouldn't call any of that stuff "food"
See and I've tried them. I really have, and even after two or three months, I had to go back because my living room felt like a damn jail cell or dentist office. I tried them again recently too and I still hate them. Why can't they produce them with more normal colour temperatures?
A lot of people might find this a little hokey, especially coming from the journal Nature. The biggest thing to overcome is science fictions deception of other dimensions. A dimension is just another direction. We know about the six directions we can currently move in (3 dimensions) plus time (which we always move forward through at a constant rate; you can slow down how fast you move through time relative to everything else, but it's not noticeable unless you can afford a very very fast vehicle). Here's a great explanation of extra dimensions:

The other "Things explained" videos are also really good for understanding more complex physics concepts.
Age on a C.V?! Who does that. No one.. (and you shouldn't. Employers can't ask if you are married or your number of kids either. That can get you sued in many places).
We have a lot of older people where I work, some hired in. The trouble is we also get a lot of people who come through who've been in the same shop for 20 years and they think they know what they're doing, but when you ask them an SQL question they use a sequence of nested queries without any join statements. We get sysadmin who don't know how to map a network drive on the command line. We get people who want security jobs who can't answer, "What's the difference between a GET and a POST request?"
Another issue is that maybe shops are only looking to employ 40+ people in management positions, being team leads and architects. Maybe you hate that stuff and are looking for dev jobs and people are reluctant to hire you for that. The problem here lies in that most IT departments only have a pathway up the chain via management. For a lot of devs and admins, this isn't too bad and they can manage people fine. But there are those that really don't want to manage people, who hate it and there isn't really a pathway for people who just want to stay coding.
Finally, it could be that you're applying to all the wrong places where people do look down upon your for your age. They are probably shitty shops you didn't want to work for anyway. Are you willing to move? If not, you could also try short term contracts (3 ~ 8 months). There are a tons of those if you're willing to be away for a couple of months each year. You can also build up remote contracting opportunities this way too.
So to recap, you might be stuck in a city of discriminatory employers and it's not you, or you're looking for dev positions because that's what you love but people want your age group for management or... you're not as good as you think you are and are bombing interviews.
What if a competing bank wants to buy up all its competitors' banks domain names look-a-likes? When you mistype the name, you get a site that gives you a low APR credit card or low cost stock trading options or free checking from a site that's obviously not your bank; is an ad.
The problem is that I know many system administrators that change their server's response to be Apache even though it's IIS. By the same token I know several Apache servers that respond as IIS and are used as honeypots; their logs are parsed for several known exploits and worms.
People have always mentioned this problem with mining for server usage statistics. What does netcraft do to try and filter out a lot of these false statistics? Is there any thing they can do? Is there any other way to identify a "true" Apache server? I can't check for the existence of php or aspx files because both IIS and Apache support both (aspx via mono).
If you were developing a new statustics mining server for determining service types on the internet, what would you use to identify the "true" Apache/IIS servers?

New Zealand non-citizens can vote. It's one of the very few States in the world that allows non-citizens to vote.

Fucking taxes man.

Exactly. People think being a democrat or republican still means something. There is only one party. The Demolicans and the Repubcrats
IBM dropped OS/2 support. No more patches or security updates. The OS/2 machines were very stable, but were also a dead end sadly.
If the Win95/OS2Warp war had gone differently, we might not have Steam for PC and Mac, but instead Win/Mac/OS7/Linux
Extended support might be cheaper than Win7 and make M$ more money (althought they will have more technical debt)
I came here looking for the OS/2 comment. I rmember when those were in ATMs and when IBM cut support for it.

Spying under Bush. Retroactive immunity with Obama plus he did nothing to stop the programs.
There is just one party in the US: Repubcrats / Demolicans
It's funny when I meet people who think voting still matters.

And by that, Snowden's loyalty is solid.

I like Gentoo's OpenRC. Much better than SystemD.
