Helps to start as a contractor. You do a good job, convince enough people that you're valuable, and you end up with a lot of advocates that upper management and HR can't ignore.
I'm still young (24) but your whole post rang true to me. I didn't finish my CS degree and that has set me back immensely. I was always near or at the top of the class in grades and ability but HR wants that piece of paper. I always thought my abilities would be what landed the job, but every good job I've had has come to me though friends or networking. The last few months I've been working a contract position processing documents for a large company. It's easy, I can listen to music and it pays well for what my job is. I wrote software to automate most of the process and reduced the time it takes to process a document by over 90%. Implementing it is going to save millions in labor cost every year and increase the accuracy too.
So I showed it to my managers and they loved it, everyone I showed it to loved it but nothing else came of it. I talked a few other people who recommended I send my idea to the head of the office (this is a big office). So while I was waiting for more documents to process I did the math, got some figures on how much it could save, wrote up a nice guide to show how the software worked and what it could do and sent it off. I thought he'd probably just ignore it, or worse, I'd get in trouble for writing the software in the first place. He got back to me a few days later and said he was very interested in my ideas and wanted me to meet with some of his people.
That was Monday of this week, since then I've met with the person in charge of the IT division at the office and she was amazed by my work and sent a glowing review to all the people she manages and I'm going to be meeting with the heads of different departments to find where I'd fit best. I'm meeting with the global head of IT operations next week to discuss some of the other ideas I've had. Now all the upper level managers in the office know me by name and hopefully I'll be able to get an actual job out of it, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high yet.
I always thought what you knew and what you could do counted more than who you knew but in my experience it's the exact opposite.
It looks to me as though IE 8 does just this. The matched part of the url is in a bolder face than the rest of the address. Cool!
I've been using Locationbar for Firefox 3 to get that functionality, plus it makes it easy to navigate to other directories in the URL (moving up a level, etc). I didn't write it but I'd definitely recommend it.
When I was in school you had to choose a question as well (circa 2000). My friend and I did a project on whether it would be possible to create a Connect 4 program that was unbeatable. Turns out it is possible but I over-estimated my coding abilities and looking back on it now it was horribly written software but I did learn about hash tables, minimax, alpha-beta pruning and a bunch of other stuff I might never have looked at.
We made it to State science fair and then International Science fair out in California. The County paid for the entry fee and my amazing Biology teacher who had a doctorate in Genetics and encouraged us all the way paid for our plane tickets with her frequent flier miles (I think she went into teaching because she loved it). My parents only had to cover partial hotel costs and food costs. I was in the IB program and the Science fair happened to be at the same time as IB testing so I was forced to take two IB tests in between rounds of judging and it didn't go so well.
Sinbad was the host of the science fair and even did about 45 minutes of stand-up, it was God awful. I met a lot of really smart people, one kid made a glove that translated sign language to text. We brought large chess boards and clocks to challenge people to speed games, it was a lot of fun. My senior year I had learned a lot more and did a much better project but the County wouldn't pay the entry fees for us so we only made it to state.
I've worked in a number of restaurants, from fast food to fine dining and I can tell you that health department scores are not always an accurate representation of how clean the restaurant is. A lot of areas (in the States at least) only get one or two surprise inspections a year, if you fail a surprise inspection you get a scheduled inspection soon after.
Often the managers of restaurants will know around when they'll be inspected and double or triple the number of staff during just that time frame.
Some restaurants take pride in their craft and properly care for their kitchen and equipment.
A lot of restaurants are repeat offenders and fail surprise inspections over and over again, then clean up for the scheduled one. It saves them money and most people don't look up the scores before they go to the restaurant. One great deterrent is to require posting the scores from the last four inspections prominently at the entrance.
So what happens if used a password he had no chance of remembering? I know I'd never remember n;ai,asdh2987ea0jdfd;ai if I wrote it on paper only once. So he doesn't actually know the password, is stuck in jail, and has no grounds for appeal?
The attorney general and national intelligence director on Thursday said President Bush would veto the bill if the immunity provisions were stripped from it.
So it's vital to national security but not so vital if they can't have immunity along with it.
They say they haven't broken any laws but are fighting like hell to make sure they can't be prosecuted.
Is there any reasonable way to appear more guilty?
Accidentally posted this as anonymous the first time. Surely now the karma will roll in.
I don't know if you've be subject to the horrors of the new Kid Rock song "All Summer Long" He takes the piano riff from Warren Zevon's - Werewolve's of London and the guitar, backup vocals and keyboard were taken from Skynard's Sweet Home Alabama. In the end it hits your ears like a knife, and I don't mean a metaphorical one, this song will make you bleed out of your ears.
At least Vanilla Ice had the decency to change a note or two. And let's not forget if your music is being compared negatively to the stylings of Vanilla Ice (see above) you are doing it wrong.

So at an estimated population of 301,139,947 the United States has 16,562,697 unemployed adults. Nineteen out of twenty isn't so good when a job is such a necessity for prosperity.
That's a pretty good idea, but people are lazy and will use default question lists and even if they were to write their own lists they'd probably contain less than 20 questions, so then they just need to sit through X number of tries before they know all the questions, then it's spammin' time. It does have the benefit of being accessible to the blind.
Here's a system I thought of that while more difficult to crack is still accessible to those using screen readers. Rather than generating images you generate sentences with simple riddles, for example: "John has four apples plus one, he takes three from Suzie then gives two to Tom, how many does he have left?"
You could generate tons of variations on just that one riddle.
___ has ____ items (plus/minus/take away/divided by)(randint), ___ (gives/takes/steals/swipes/borrows/eats) (randint) from ____ then (gives/takes/eats...) (randint) from ___, (how many did he start with/does Tom have/Suzie have/are left/were traded/were eaten).
I'm sure you could make the puzzles more cryptic to computers are simpler for humans that was just an example off the top of my head. When it's beaten at least we'll have some nifty new NLP tools.
"You must understand, therefore, that there are two ways of fighting: by law or by force. The first way is natural to men, and the second to beasts. But as the first way often proves inadequate one must needs have recourse to the second."
- (Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince")
"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair. The usurpers, clothed with the forms of legal authority, can too often crush the opposition in embryo. The smaller the extent of the territory, the more difficult will it be for the people to form a regular or systematic plan of opposition, and the more easy will it be to defeat their early efforts. Intelligence can be more speedily obtained of their preparations and movements, and the military force in the possession of the usurpers can be more rapidly directed against the part where the opposition has begun. In this situation there must be a peculiar coincidence of circumstances to insure success to the popular resistance.

We havent really progressed that much past the automats (cafeteria vending slots) of the 1930s The technology behind the counter has progressed a lot though. McDonald's doesn't flip burgers anymore, they use computer controlled clamshells that cook both sides at once, you can cook up to 96 (1.6oz) patties in 42 seconds, 24 quarter pound patties in 106 seconds, toasters that toast multiple buns of multiple sizes perfectly in 8 seconds, heated cabinets that allow longer holding times at consistent and safe temperatures. Fryers that maintain temperature better than ever before, which makes everything cook correctly. Non static filled headsets and speakers with a computer screen to help confirm your order. Dish-washing machines with water pressure that could skin an alligator and a lot more.
Can you tell I worked at one for a while?
The next big step is going to be someone inventing an automated kitchen for McDonald's. They want the most consistent product possible in taste and portion size. A computer wouldn't cook 300 pieces of meat so that it wouldn't be bothered for a while, or leave carbon from the last batch of meat on the grill, or drop food on the ground and serve it. It probably won't be a whole kitchen at once deal but even automating salad making would be a good start, adding an extra tablespoon of bacon to each salad adds up across a few thousand stores.
The preparation of these bombs is very much more complex than tossing together several bottles-worth of formula and lighting it up. In fact, in recent tests, a National Lab was asked to formulate a test mixture and it took several tries using the best equipment and best scientists for it to even ignite.
and then a few lines down
B) The baggie serves to concentrate the vapor - substances used to create liquid explosives are very volatile and emit fumes even through sealed bottles. (We have tested.) We have liquid explosives detectors that take advantage of the vapor concentration factor in the baggie. This way, we do not have to examine what's inside every bottle, regardless of what the label says.
That is part of the somewhat rambling 750+ word answer to "Why can't someone just mix an explosive by combining multiple liquids after security?"
So if we have explosive detection devices that can detect any liquid explosives why can't I bring bottle of water? Does having MORE explosive in a bottle make it harder to detect, fuck no. So why can't I bring larger bottles on a plane?
If the detectors don't work as well as he claims then it still can't stop someone from mixing explosive beforehand and putting it in multiple containers or using multiple people.
He closes by saying the TSA folks are the best in the world, which if you've been to the airport you know this is patently false, all you need is a GED and you too can harass foreigners and your fellow citizens today!
It would also make sense if they cut the lines to install taps elsewhere on the lines.
The enemy thinks the problem is gone and is even less likely to audit the communications system.
Both strategies have their place, but you get much more information if the enemy thinks their communications are secure than you do by blowing everything up.
I'll second that, except it happened a number of times while playing Halo 1, I played enough of it to place in the top 20 nationally.

Lumens are the total energy output of the bulb, and doesn't change even if I focus the beam.

I'm 23 and I remember it being $0.89 per gallon, according to the DOE the last time the US average price per gallon of regular unleaded was under a dollar was Feb, 1992. I was 8, so chances are if you're under 20 you probably wouldn't remember it being under a dollar.
You've skimmed the surface but what is truly happening is the dilithium matrix is receiving interference from the phase inducers, which we all know also affects the theta-matrix compositor causing a cascading failure in the main stage flux chiller, deuterium injector, micro-fusion core and finally the positron-tritium deturbulancealizer. These combined form a positive feedback loop that slowly destroys the engines. Just like putting too much air in a balloon!! If we changed the pulse emitter to a longer interval and diverted control to the ship's computer the inertial dampers could take care of the rest! Brilliant!
