I can *see* the 3-D but it does not "immerse" me any more than 2-D. It doesn't *wow* me either, and it seems 3-D is just a whiz-bang gizmo to sell pricier tickets. IMHO, of course.
Um. I recommend the plug-in "Flash Block". Or something similar. I never get "automagically starting" videos. So I was confused by this thread at first...
I am paying for 16/9 and getting 4/4. After repeatedly complaining, having them troubleshoot their hardware, et. Al, they have PROMISED to check the "neighborhood node", replace the immediate (in my neighbors back yard) node, as well as the routing servers, and given me $20/month credit for 6 months. Of course they haven't replace or repaired any of the nodes (the one in my neighbors yard looks like someone took a baseball bat to it), but I have received the credit. So I'm all for letting the FCC enforce quoted speeds for ISPs. And NO, I cannot use anything other than cable because the DSL node is too far away, I don't get GSM coverage at my home, and SkyBeam is too unreliable here. No other choice except dial-up or buying my own pipe.
I went:
BASIC -> Pascal -> C -> C++ -> FORTRAN77 -> Assembler -> {OMGPonies! ALL SORTS}
Now, I work routinely using both scripting languages (bash, Perl, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Jython, did some ColdFusion even, and others), and programming languages (C, C++, Java, et. Al.).
A Programmer can flip-flop between ANY language and may only need a reference manual (or Google) to get the correct syntax. If you can't, you are simply a Coder.
I got a graduate degree in Health Physics (Nuclear Janitor - a relative of Unclear Physics) back in the early 90's - and ended up in IT because there were NO jobs. So does that mean I can actually work in the field for which I was trained?
The technology is there. But I wonder: will they have to modify the software at NORAD to take into account Big Objects that get transmuted to A Bunch Of Little Objects? I am a geek: I'm thinking about software updates.
starbucks isn't charging for the WIFI
Must be nice. The two closest starbucks do charge for wifi. So I go to a local coffee shop and buy a coffee to use their "free" wifi. It's still cheaper than just paying for starbuck's t-mobile wifi.
Ergo, a "mud bath" is incorrect. You are immersing yourself not in a liquid, but in a heterogeneous solution of dirt and liquid. Just sayin' - based on what you were saying.:-)
Having lived in Colorado sans heater core for a number of years (heater core leak - antifreeze pooling on the floor boards/didn't have $$ to replace by pulling dash/just disconnected and capped the end), I tried every electric heater (cigarette lighter) to be able to SEE out the windscreen, despite open windows you get major fog/ice on the inside even in dry climes. Imagine UK in February! And you really can't open windows even a crack in even a moderate rain storm or blizzard conditions. Plus, a fun fact, your glasses fog up when you wear a baklava or a scarf. Also your contacts can FREEZE in your eyes in cold enough weather (oh so painful!). So all this fun talk about going without any kind of climate control is not truly practical. I've tried it out of necessity. It BITES.
Unfortunately ignorance of the law is no defense. The same is true for not saying anything when you witness a crime being committed. It's called obstruction. So, CYA: leave the company as soon as you can. Assume you WILL be held accountable in the future.
The oldest family picture I have of someone in their non-horse-drawn vehicle is of my maternal great(-great?) grandfather driving his delivery truck - using a joystick. The truck looked like a horse-drawn wagon with a motor in front, and the joystick/lever for the front-axle. Next thing you know, "green transport" will go from hybrid and electric back to mammal-drawn.
one-in-45,000 to about four-in-a million.... um, they mean from 1-in-45k to 1-in-250k, but gosh darn it! They found a way to say "X in a million chance!"
If you're problem solving, breaking down large problems into smaller "do-able" sets, then you're using your calculus and physics. Math and physics as part of a curriculum are there to teach you how to figure things out on your own - and not to be spoon fed.
You're using their bandwidth if you do this. Ergo, you are still using company resources. I have been in a similar situation. Nutshell solution for me? Just keep as you are, don't accept the $$. If they want you to back up your work, have them shell out for an external drive and backup the corporate work there, and only the corporate work.
So do I get pizza at The Shack and headphones at The Hut? Or is it diodes at Jabba the Hut, and chicken wings at SleezeShack?
PS My local Radio Shack (space intended) does still sell bread boards and many of the fixin's - plus an encyclopaedia sized catalog for special orders.

Wish I had mod points left. "Insightful", "Informative" ... or "Redundant"?

I wonder what they charge to list items on a site that is receiving no bids?

If they used the "mosquito" - then lots of people would just randomly pick something :-) Or just say things like "Hey! What's that ringing in my ear!"
