People like this lack empathy for others. There are even brain scan tests showing this to be the case with actual physical differences in their brains. They cannot put themselves in the postion of others and feel for them.
Moochers aren't a 20th century invention. We just don't bother recording the legacy of "Timmy of Shropshire who doth live in his Mother's cottage for naught."
Plus you need a connection that can function down at liquid helium temperatures but doesn't get destroyed when it is brought to room temperature for maintenance. Add to that the massive amount of power going through these connections and you have a very severe environment you have to deal with.
By the way, when I did some work with electrical connections at liquid helium temps we used indium based solder.
Mod parent up. You see this with every issue based group. Activist groups have to stay around to maintain their gains but to their donors and dues payers that looks like they aren't doing anything so they have to push for more and more to justify their existance. You end up with things like unions that demand bloated pensions and work requirements.
My father remembers that when March of Dimes met its goal of eliminating polio he said that they wouldn't go away now that their mission was met, that they would find something else. Sure enough, they did.
Plus she spent a whole 3 months during a recession looking before giving up. I think she needs to open her eyes and see that lots of people with experience have been looking for far longer than that.
Since they use a fluid lens as part of the design I'm looking forward to all sorts of novelty designs. Put some white sprinkles in it so you think it is snowing all the time. Add some tiny plastic fish and now your world is an aquarium! The possibilities are endless.
So what the article is saying is that all those middle fingers are actually other driver's way of saying thanks for helping decrease traffic congestion? I'm glad to help!
These companies have DB systems that require far more than just a bunch of "cheap x86_64" boxes (talking terabyte dbs with rapid response times and a large number of simultanious sessions). Any DB they choose is going to require a full time DBA so that isn't an issue.
...If you do a total cost of ownership, the mainframe comes out cheaper, but since the costs of a mainframe are immediately obvious, it is hard to get it past the bean-counters of an organization.
I've found this to be true of many aspects of IT, not just concerning mainframes. I've watched customers struggle to get decent performance and constantly hit limitations with a certain database product (not Oracle) because it was virtually free and they didn't want to spend the capital cost on an Oracle license. The total man hours spent, time lost, etc on getting their "free" db up to speed vastly exceeded the cost of the Oracle licenses and they still have problems with it.
It would be interesting if players could become outcasts to their own faction and become open to "attack on sight" by all alliance and horde and visa-versa; sort of like bandits. There would be a problem of how to handle NPCs (would they only be able to use goblin/neutral towns?). Still, it would be interesting and maybe even give folks a chance to get revenge on jerks that play for thier own faction.
You'll end up with people joining a server and finding out that it is biased population-wise towards one faction (usually alliance). Currently you'd have to either reroll your toon or suck it up. Now they can get annoyed and instead of working through it they will be tempted to just switch to the majority side. Keep doing this and one side dominates completely and competition dies. I see this happen in on-line FPS games.
They point out the high real estate prices (legit point) but they are high because everyone wants to live here.
If he doesn't like all those winning teams then I'm surprised he didn't also take a shot about having too many good schools (Harvard, MIT, BU, BC, etc).
Well what if it was an exploding meteor? Huh? I just blew your mind!
Seriously though, a small bomb may have just destroyed the electrical system. Airbus' are fly-by-wire but I'm sure they are loaded with redundancies. Still, a combination of bad luck, stress on the plane, etc could've led to a perfect storm (pun sort of intended).

Exploiting people's greed and uglier sides may be funny, exploiting people's trust and naivite is just your usual scummy criminal at work.

He only last 1 day. Poor kid got ganked. Damn pvp.
He obviously forgot to use his speed buff.

There, fixed that for ya.

They'll have to be an epic geared lvl 80 tank or healer to find me. We have one slot open in the raid left.
How about requiring that every email be printed out then physically delivered to the recipient? Wait a minute...

Now excuse me while I drive on the median strip.
This thread is uber-dumb.
Cartman would say it was "hella-stupid".
I thought I heard a really loud "OW!" last night.

I don't care about all that. All I want to know is where do I sign up to be a part of the data gathering team?
The researcher doesn't appreciate that crack either.
And suddenly thousands of Indian techies have opened Warcraft accounts.

that just means the rest of us will have a bunch of great journalism talent to pick from soon thereafter.
"Hi, I'm with dailyblog.com. I hear you used to work for the Global Blabber. I'd love for you to work for us."
"That sounds great. I was one of their best local investigative journalists. How much would you pay?"
"Ummmm, pay? We are a blog. You'd work for fun right?"
