What you just wrote is a strong indicator that you have no clue how much undefined behavior you have in your programs, and just happen to be getting away with just now.
Of course it makes sense. They can either cut their losses now, and leave with their profits. Or they can be sued into oblivion by Twitter, and let them, and the lawyers walk off with their profits.
I wouldn't say that learning to code necessarily outweighs a degree. But I do think university courses are too heavily focused on theory, and not enough practical application.
The job of a university is to teach theory. These are not vocational collages, they are universities. The practice is meant to be something you are more than capable of teaching yourself if you're any good at the subject.
No, exercise is not it. I mean, it does burn calories. But it's far harder to get thin by exercising more than it is to do so by eating less.
For example, even a relatively fit person will walk at 4-5mph at most. At that speed, they'll do about 10,000 steps in an hour. That's one hour to burn a whole 400 calories. If they run, they might make that half an hour, but that assumes that their cardiovascular system is up to running for half an hour straight, which lets face it. No fat person's is.
Alternatively, they can make the same dent in their net calories for the day by simply not eating one chocolate bar.
Exercise is great for you - but it's great for getting fit. Not great for getting thin.
That's kinda the point. No, humans don't need carbs. We did not evolve eating carbs, and we don't really gain anything very much by eating them (other than a craving for more of them).
If I still had mod points, you'd get a +1. Intel motherboards are great. They're nothing fancy pants, but everything that's on them is solid and well supported.
There's a much easier solution, already in operation - pumped hydro power plants. They're hydro electric power stations, but when there's a surplus of supply, they pump water up into their reservoir. When peaks of power production are needed, they generate. They can be turned on at a moments notice (all it takes is opening a sluice, and dropping the water), and can store vast amounts of energy.
I believe you're assuming that the flash used on a rover that went to mars, and encounters all kinds of crazy radiation, is in some way similar to the crappy OCZ thing you stuck in your PC 10 years ago.
No, no it's not security through obscurity. It's security through something you know - a perfectly valid method of securing something. Of course, it would be nice if in this case, you could change the thing you're supposed to know to be different to the device's serial number.
Anyone that uses something besides Linux. One great thing about Unixen is how they share common interfaces. The more you change that, the less interchangeable the various Unixen become. The more reason their will be to resist moving from one to another.
Except that's actually false. Unixen really don't share common interfaces. Mac OS uses launchd, FreeBSD uses init.d, many Linuxes use systemd.
On Linux you'll find devices named/dev/hda(n) and sda(n), while on OS X you'll find/dev/disk(n)s(m), and on solaris you'll find/dev/dsk/c(n)t(m)d(l)s(o).
All unixes differ. Trying to claim that the way it happens to have been done in Linux for a while is the "one true unix way" is frankly bullshit.
You absolutely can feel the strength of the shaking at your location. For reference though, the USGS says it was around a magnitude 4 in oakland (and 6 at the epicentre)
Depends what you want to get out of these stats. If you want to find out in which group you're more likely to find a gamer, if you have a same sized sample, then sure, you're right, you need to normalise it. If you want to find out who you should target when you're designing a game you want to sell to people, then no, no you don't want to normalise it.
Okay then, I guess we all might as well give up on security. After all, if we can just blame the user for downloading something malicious, then that's it, solved.
Alternatively though... we can make sure that one process can't get information from another one. How's about that?
A person on an H1B visa must be paid at least the average regional salary for their job position (remove the lower wage incentive)
You realize that this is already a requirement of getting an H1B visa, right?
The job which the H1B person is being hired for must require a 4 year college degree and the candidate must have received said degree from a recognized institution.
The 4 year part is not a requirement, but having exceptional qualifications is already a requirement.
I also support a tax on these workers, to be paid by the employer in addition to normal wages and taxes, that would directly fund educating/retraining American workers to fill tech jobs that are open. Note, this is a fair tax because only companies that want to use H1B visas would be burdened--it's totally their choice.
While not direct, this is already effectively the case. When an employer needs to bring in an H1B worker they end up shelling out huge amounts for lawyers fees, moving expenses etc. It is not a cheap option to hire H1B workers. Quite the opposite in fact.

The ownership is relevant because Banks are much more strictly regulated. The better security is a direct outcome of VISA being owned by a bank.

Who says they didn't?
It's really simple. The russians have nukes, and the missiles to get them to us.
Actually, the metric unit of time is the second ;)
It's almost like, if you don't regulate taxis, then they do all kinds of nasty stuff you wouldn't want them doing!
Uhhhhh... no. That's not how driverless cars work.

Because it's easier to extract money from people continuously if you can deny them their crack^Wgame at will.

Oh come on. one power line down, and other than that basically no damage. It pretty much has gone unnoticed.

Considering that one of these was felt in the heart of the tech world, and this is a website about tech... No.
It was strong enough to wake us up, but not enough to do any damage in Sunnyvale.
Why should they repatriate it? What's wrong with keeping money earned abroad, abroad?
