given that this is not a scientific journal or a professional statistical review, demanding such level of credential to support a personal opinion is not only meaningless, but a sign of extreme dickheadedness. kill yourself immediately.
NT was available for DEC Alpha for years. I remember reading an article in PC/Computing back in the days when the top of the line PC was a 486-DX/2 66mhz drooling over the speed of NT 3.51 on an Alpha at 300mhz.
It's odd that Hatch would sponsor this. He's a conservative asshole, and a strange guy to boot, but he's always been well behind privacy rights in the past.
My sentence at m/c was a couple of years ago, so they may be different now. It was also a shock because it was my first post-dot-com job so I wasn't prepared to encounter so many soulless piles of protoplasm.
I spent some time as a contractor at Mastercard. Poor treatment of contractors there is not only well-known, but encouraged. Hell, we weren't even allowed to park in the same parking lot as the employees. At least we got a shuttle bus. Deliver me unto my corporate master.
The way a high-powered rifle like the M4/M16 kills isn't always through the puncture wound itself. There are many factors:
1) the bullet directly damaging whatever it hits on the way in
2) the bullet richocheting off of bone after penetration and damaging other organs
3) systemic shock to the body from the the wound
4) the kinetic shockwave of the bullet hitting the victim, which disturbs the functioning of all nearby organs even if they're not hit
With a laser weapon, you'd only get #1 and the only way that'll work is if a soldier could hit the heart every time. Not even the best special forces snipers can do that, let alone a GI that's scared shitless in the first place
Unfortunately, I'm in a sticky situation there. The place I work for used to be a small software shop, but isn't anymore (they got bought by a soulless multinational). Unfortunately, it's relatively stable, and jobs are hard to come by around here. I'm considering leaving the software industry altogether, though.
In most corporations, "Good attitude" means taking whatever shit you're fed. Yes, people only get ahead in most corporations when they kiss ass. Sometimes they have to be good at their jobs, too, but sometimes kissing ass and not complaining about anything is all it takes.
If you're good at your job and disagree, you will not get promoted over someone that's incompetent and an ass-kisser.
Business magazines are written for people that buy into the business lifestyle and don't see it as a necessary evil. For those people, who latch onto the cocks of their managers in a lamprey-esque way, the future in business is always bright. For those of us with minds, the future usually sucks. Such is the way of america.

In Soviet Russia, the State charts YOU!!
yeah, there are always exceptions. I'm just making the statement for all of them that I've met.
my high school still used Apple Imagewriter IIs to print the report cards. Well, guess what I happened to have at home.
Mom and Dad didn't see a real report card after the first one my freshman year. That's what they got for thinking that grades mattered.
All parents of high-achieving kids that I've met are like this.

yeah, the acting sucks, I'll grant you that, but I don't watch that kind of stuff for the acting :)

I loved ST. It's just a parody of war movies. If you don't get that you're being deliberately obtuse.
ERROR! ERROR!
oxymoron
The phenomenon of being promoted to management because you are bad at your current job is well documented.
maybe they would get better if their lying managers gave them honest reviews.
