Wow, I just looked it up and CA maxes at $450/week! That means a state with a 6% higher cost of living gives 12% worse benefits. Worse yet for those guys they are probably living within commute of LA so they really have an ~50% higher cost of living than most urban areas of Ohio. Anyone who thinks that receiving an extra $450/week is going to make those guys rich or make you poor is just fooling themselves. I can pretty much guarantee you that they would MUCH rather have a steady job that pays less, nothing will take years off your life faster than not knowing when your next paycheck will come in.
Uh, yes it does, smaller plants have more surface area per volume so they will lose more energy to an area of less heat (ie the environment). As another person pointed out this scaling only works so far in practice, but that's at the high end of the current generation facility size.
Those damns laws of thermodynamics say large scale plants are inherently more efficient even accounting for transmission losses. Reduce transmission losses by a couple more percent and it's like you built a couple more large scale plants. Oh and using cheap land to generate electricity for high value land also seems like a no-brainer (seriously, would you build local generation in lower Manhattan?)
Seriously, as a hiring manager I care if you can do the job I am hiring you for. If that's software development then that means I'm looking for education, experience, and successfully completed projects. I really can't delve into the minds of HR types so I guess they might hold it against you in the more conservative parts of the country, but they are generally used as a glorified GREP from what I have seen.
Do you honestly think an HMO with a profit motive to deny you coverage is any better? I'll take laziness and incompetence over laziness, incompetence and greed any day.
You can eat a very filling $5 lunch two blocks from Wallstreet, I know, I've done it. There are a number of pizza shops that sell slices as big as your chest for a couple of bucks and sell soda by the can for like $1. You can also go one block over and get the Kobe burger and a glass of nice French red for $500, but I'm pretty sure you can do that in any world capital.
That's exactly how Ohio law works: You must report earnings for services performed and any income paid or payable to you while you are claiming unemployment benefits.
If you work part-time or perform odd jobs during the weeks for which you file for unemployment benefits, you may still be paid unemployment benefits if your gross earnings are less than your weekly benefit amount. You must report gross earnings for the week (Sunday through Saturday) in which it is earned, even if you have not yet been paid.
If your earnings are less than your weekly benefit amount, Ohio law allows you an exemption of 20 percent your weekly benefit amount before a deduction is made. linky
I'm actually surprised NY law is different in that it is the logical way to encourage people to attempt to get off the dole.
Another example of this phenonemon is stage hands in Hollywood who make a lot per hour on each film, but (predicably!) work only a fraction of the year, and get to claim unemployment insurance based on high per-hour earnings over that time between productions. Complete abuse of the system.
Not sure what unemployment is like in the peoples republic but here in Ohio the max payout is $502 per week and that's for a family of 4 that previously made at least $52k/year. From that $502/week you get to pay federal and state taxes so your takehome is probably about $400/week, not exactly something that is going to make you rich. If the production company routinely lays off people then they are definitely paying for (at least some large percentage of) those wages in the form of unemployment insurance so just consider it part of their compensation package.
I loved a quip my boss passed on from a talk by Greenspan lamenting the fact that our best and brightest went into investment banking instead of civil engineering. He said that for every investment banker you create one job, for every civil engineer you create 26. I think the quip applies equally to lawyers.
You don't have to put up a robots.txt, you just have to do that if you put up a publicly facing website without other access controls. I know, it's really hard to understand that making things public makes them accessible to everyone, but that's reality.
A backup system which can be corrupted is no backup system at all, which is why I still like tape damnit no matter who says tape is dead. The reality is that with tape you might have an extended RTO and you might not make your RPO but unless you haven't tested your restore procedure at all you WILL be able to restore eventually. The fact is that if Danger was able to tell their users they would be getting everything back as of 1 weeks ago within 48 hours they wouldn't be in the world of hurt they are certainly going to be in due to this complete farkup.
There are both client hired and professional hired headhunters. Good headhunters do a LOT more than just match requirements to CV. One of the best I worked with got me my first "real" IT job. He saw that I had most of the skills they were looking for and from talking with me though I was bright enough to do the job, so he took a risk and worked with me to truthfully modify my resume to more closely match the requirements and on the back end talked to the hiring manager and let them know not to blow me off just because I didn't have a ton of prior experience. He didn't get paid a lot on the contract part of the contract to hire deal so he was really sticking his neck out for me with a decent payoff for him only if I actually worked out.
Actually since Adobe seems to do a better job than either Sun or any of the browser vendors in maintaining backward compatibility as a corporate IT guy I'm a LOT more likely to upgrade Flash than either Java or the browser. There's also a lot less enterprise stuff built for flash so it's lower risk, obviously that will change if Adobe gets their way with this initiative.
Their cost/benefit analysis completely ignored the reduced cooling load needed. They also attribute 100% of the cost of the painting operation to reflectivity efforts but since most roofs need some maintenance anyways the marginal cost might be minimal. I know my company's HQ building that we just finished uses white rubber roofing material to both reduce cooling loads and offer a good long-life water barrier thus reducing maintenance costs vs a traditional tar roof.
Yes, I've stripped a double layer roof, replaced half the under-sheeting and put on a new roof including rubber matting to combat ice-dams in a long weekend. It's not really that hard. I did have my father as foreman who ran a midsized roofing company 25 years ago but most of the labor was just me and my brother. It's really quite simple if you have airguns =)
Oh, and a funny story about corrupt roofers, my coworkers wife caught the crew doing the neighbors roof putting shingles on bare wood. Turns out the foreman was off drinking at the local strip joint instead of supervising the crew so they decided to slack off. The crew denied it up and down until my coworker provided video. The company ended up having to pay to strip and redo the whole thing even though it was only suspected that the back half was done wrong because who would trust them to have do anything right?
Sorry but I'm a lot more impressed by a 20 year warranty from DOW then even a 50 year warranty from a company that's only existed for 20 years (though I guess that's better than a new startup). The likelyhood of DOW being around to pay up on the warranty is a heck of a lot higher =)
5GHz doesn't penetrate some materials as well as 2.4GHz does (but it does punch through organic matter better so it's good for outdoor bridges without direct line of sight).
It's a lot cheaper to have a small handful of people on your tech staff and use specialized consultants on a project basis then it is to have a bloated IT department. My opinion is the fact that we've added a position since the market crash instead of cutting a large minority of the department like so many places kind of speaks for itself. But hey you can criticize me all you want, the only opinion that counts to me is that of the people who sign my check and they're pretty pleased considering I got a 20% raise this year =)
Yes, but for $140 there are plenty of solutions with dual radios and USB but generally less RAM then this unit. Personally I'm waiting for the dual radio n device with USB which supports open firmware for ~$100. I figure it will be available by late November.
You make it an elective and kindly tell the parents that if they don't feel it is appropriate material for their little snowflake that there are plenty of other courses available. The voices of a small minority should not stop the enrichment and education of the majority. We had a few parents complain about material available in our honors english class, luckily the teacher was tenured, loved, and strong willed and had the backing of the administration as she had about every state and national honor a teacher could receive (she sat on the AP testing board as an example). Our librarians (both school and city) were likewise headstrong and did not bow to pressure from a few dingbats. As this article shows only 300 parents of 83,000 card holders chose to restrict the rights of their children in some way when given the choice. Personally I feel this is the best way to handle censorship, give those "concerned" parents an alternative means of control while providing the materials to the vast majority of people who are unconcerned that intellectual discovery will somehow harm their children.

I bet that Mozy would have gone in that direction if they hadn't been swallowed by EMC which knows nothing about running a consumer organization.

IBM has a patent on RAID for memory, look up ChipKill. HP and IBM both use it, not sure about Dell.
That's why Nehalem server boards have ECC on the busses just like real servers have had since forever.
