You still don't get it, do you? They'll find you. That's what they does. That's all they do! You can't stop them. They'll wade through your lawyers, reach down your throat, and pull your fucking heart out.
Listen. And understand. The RIAA is out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
The training cost of a new hire who doesn't know how to use Windows/Office is higher than one who does--two identically candidate--one who is ready to go and the other who "gee I've only used a Mac, but boy can I operate GarageBand" which would you hire?
I'd look for a 3rd candidate that doesn't need training when moving to a functionally equivalent push n' click program. These other two, tied to a specific OS, don't sound economical in the long run if they need training for every small little thing.
I can't but wonder if it wouldn't be more effective to have a central call center for arabic/english translators for the soldiers to call when they to facilitate communication. Perhaps they could install a videophone system to provide the visuals. How feasible is this?
That way you keep the translators out of harm's way, making them easier to retain/hire.
Ice Weasel sounds like it will be only installable on Debian, perhaps Debian-descended platforms like Ubuntu. Of course, since it's open source, anyone can port it to other platforms, I suppose. But why bother, all Ice Weasel is, is Firefox devoid of any nonfree trademarked art. And any updates to Firefox will be bought to Iceweasel.
But there are already other variations of Firefox, like Swiftfox. Firefox will be the main flavor for a long time.
The only way a fracture in the community will happen is if the releases are not compatible with each other, but the projects don't sound like they will develop on their own, but always staying with the main branch of Firefox. They can't really afford not to.
Holding the parents responsible in all cases is not good either. I have to admit, I was involved in shit my parents never got wind of between my 13th and 18th birthdays. And they were good parents.
And here we are, at a geek forum, with many posters regularly poo-pooing the idea that their mother ever could use any flavor of linux because it's too hard, yet they should be savvy enough to know every website their kid inhabits and every thing they post.
And that's figuring the kids aren't smart enough to swipe the cache.
I have a feeling that routers/modems with harddrives that log everything that goes through them and presents the data in a easy to adminster HTML format may be in demand soon...... and I have no doubt the 13 year olds will pwn those things in short order.
My first line, I put "This is", I meant "there is."
I'm not against the college allocating bandwidth and other legitimate practices - but the handhold (censorship) proves to be annoying to me every day where I'm at.
This is censorship. The college I go to blocks all the slashdot articles pertaining to games for some reason, even though there is a Video Games degree in this very school.
I often find that useful articles with algorithms or techniques get blocked this way.
One would think that the obnoxious handholding stops after highschool......
I think IE would be even lower, but a lot of businesses and school have IE and "force" it on them.
My college has IE on all of it's terminals, so I guess, at times, I am a dot in their corner, although I consider IE less than useless w/o tabs and with pop-ups.
I have a thing against overcompensation. Was her reputation currently worth 11M? I think if someone does that much damage - they shouldn't be sued, they should be in jail.
I think the punishment should fit the crime.
Have lawsuits made our country truly better? One of the most frequent lawsuit targets, healthcare, is barely accessible anymore and the costs keep mounting. Compare this to, say some European countries, and there can be a major difference in price and accessibility to the common man.
Long story short: A relative had a stomach operation here, 2 days in hospital with surgery cost $16,000 with insurance. They didn't do the stiches correctly and he started having internal bleeding during a business trip. Had to get the same surgery there redone, another 2 day stay in hospital. Even though his insurance wouldn't pay because the hospital wasn't American and therefore "they couldn't tell if the place met the high standards", the bill came to only $2400. For the same thing. This was in France. I am not talking about Puerto Rico here.
The way lawsuits are structure here, it is hardly doing anybody good. But don't expect the lawyers to change it either:/
Scheme (Lisp dialect) is or was taught first year in a lot of places because it is easy/friendly.
Perhaps the readability is where I don't understand why most people complain. I picked it up in half an hour (maybe being multilingual helps). Is there anything natural about infix notation, other than we learned it doing math growing up?
I find Lisp easier to parse, because of all the parenthesis, than infix, because I can throw out all the order of precedence rules required by infix for certain symbols and don't have to do much thinking in that area.
S-expressions are also easier and convenient on the programmer for programming, when he wants to make macros (not to be confused with the "macros" in C) and have data/code be the same.
However, if you want to check it out, Dylan is basically an infix dialect of Lisp - but macros tend to be a bigger pain to implement.
I'm weary of that too:) I don't think it has to be a part of life, well, not past 20 anyway.
I looked up laser hair removal. A dermatologist doesn't necessarily recommend it for all men, because shaving exfoliates the skin daily (or however much you do it), making you age slightly less. Of course, you could exfoliate the skin another way..... (but then that becomes a routine that can be quickly forgotten).
I wondered about that. Are people happy with that long term?
I'd be weary of anything that changes my body permanently, aesthically. (Plus I often wondered if beard hair stops facial skin from creasing.... it's hard to explain...)
I thought all those studies said that Linux had way more security bugs than Microsoft! The last report had Microsoft at somewhere around 52 security bugs and Linux at several times that.
If I have my math right:
52 -26 -----
26 bugs left!
Microsoft only has to fix them there 26 bugs until Windows is all perfect and flawless!
Not only is the stupidity limited to consoles but to domain names and email addresses so "sellers can get in early" and do what? Profit off a dorky email address based on one product that will die down after New Years? I don't think that works too well anymore, like in the early dot.com days. (sarcasm)
I wonder how much those Tickle Me Elmos are worth these days....
I don't understand "Lisp Hate" at all. Having used C and other C like programming languages since I learned programming, 9 years back - and having learned Lisp just last year - I always consider it approaching what programming should be much closer than an Algol descended language.
Maybe Lisp shouldn't be a first language in college, so the people who do come to it can appreciate it more. That way they have the fundamentals that occur in any programming language well out of the way.
According to ERA IT Solutions, the creator of the software, it will only be distributed to investigation agencies in the hopes of keeping it out of the hands of malicious hackers since firewalls apparently 'do not present a problem' for the software."
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
ROTFLMAO
Thank you, that is all. Great plan, thumbs up to the Swiss!
Um, if you are free/opensource hacker in the US, you don't have to care about the laws/law_enforcement in Switzerland, generally. You can circumvent this all you want.
Now, if you were a corporation, there may be additional considerations, but only if you have a branch of your business operating there.
They were colluding with Sothebys to keep commission rates high - asides a handful of auction houses, there are not many practical places to sell very high end goods for good money (in other words, these places attract buyers with good money and interest).
But they were still competing with Sothebys for good consignments - large and expensive estates. It doesn't do them any good to have high commission rates on zero merchandise.

Yep, you hit it. I viewed at -1 Flat, and counted, you are indeed the 13th post.
Congratulations. You have reached the pinnacle of your life.

You'd be surprised the amount of proprietary projects out there that "rely" on one person, or perhaps 1 person per major section.
I've heard from enough managers some conventional wisdom, that if a programmer becomes irreplaceable, fire him/her immediately.
Often, but not always, this refers to bad programming style. But there is a certain truth in it the industry must have learned from experience.
Still, I think in private industry it happens enough to this day.
I wondered about that. Are people happy with that long term?

By selling info on what everyone is watching, when, and all those statistics.
Information is the commodity of the internet, it seems.
They were colluding with Sothebys to keep commission rates high - asides a handful of auction houses, there are not many practical places to sell very high end goods for good money (in other words, these places attract buyers with good money and interest).

Yes. Next please.
