I have a PS3 for games. I needed something because there isn't much happening in the gaming world on Linux and I sure wasn't going to buy an XBox.
At the time I thought Microsoft's dominance of PC gaming would allow it to push into mobile gaming. Then along came the XBox and it seemed pretty clear if all that worked out no non-Microsoft OS would ever see a game again. So I bought my PS3 (and love the thing).
Thank $diety for the iPhone. EA is writing mac games now in OpenGL. Microsoft has been shown the door in the mobile side, though they may still come out with something you don't have to reboot to receive calls (not holding breath). The XBox is fairly popular, but both consoles eventually got crushed by a Wii flood.
Good times. Maybe karma counts for more than just mod points.
It is a damn shame. I was on the other side of the fence and I can tell you, it's a lot harder to get something done when you've got to ask/beg a civilian to do something for you. He doesn't care what the 1stSgt told you to do, he's not in the chain of command.
Or even worse, the civilian in charge of our local network was a high ranking civilian. He actually had more on-base clout than our regiment's CO. It took *months* to get network jacks opened, forget about adding new devices. Buying an fscking printer took four months to install (network jacks are restricted by mac address). Of course, I got around this, but that's not the point.:-)
On the other hand, if it was handled by the Marines you more than likely can call and get a brother on the phone who'll help you out.
Agreed. Obama's got enough on his plate. He didn't go shopping for a gift to give Brown, nor did he pace the card isle at the grocery store. It was an aide that screwed up.
They've been in office like 60 days now, hiccups like that shouldn't really happen, but then with everything else going on -- who cares?
More importantly, he's been apparently working behind the scenes with Russia on an arms deal pretty much since the day he took office. They're willing to sign a 2/3 reduction. And we're worried about gift giving.
I sold my company on it a few years ago by pointing out a couple companies that had per incident support with no contracts. I told them we could call them up if we had to.
That satisfied their support concerns and when there were never any problems, the question never came up again.
Ha, no it works great. Actually I've got major financial applications running on Postgres for over 5 years now. The best thing about the concurrency model is no rollback or log or temp space hassles like Oracle or Mysql (similar model) -- everything is done in the table.
My databases get hammered all day long by the user's poorly written Access reports (not my idea, long story) and I never get complaints about speed even when the load average goes over 3 or 4.
I'm not really a database guy, I just play one on TV. For me, Postgres makes it much easier to setup and forget about it.
Yeah, I don't know about the OP, either. When I lived in San Francisco I didn't feel a lot of stress walking down the street. I generally zoned out listening to the ipod and found my way home (somehow!).
I don't really buy that people are super stressed all the time by walking down the street. The brain is not so limited and has a great capacity for not caring about stuff.:-)
But then the network is also so locked down that often times that's the only way to transfer large files. There are shared network drives in the States but they're paltry and always 100% used by some officer's powerpoint presentation and his 2 hour home video.
When my unit was deploying to Iraq I gave all of my guys 2g thumb drives loaded with the data that the company needed. They attached it to their dog tag chain and I had them swear up and down to wear it at all times.
He ran his campaign based on a large part by individual donations over the Internet. It's a remarkable thing -- Obama doesn't owe any favors to companies or even to his own party.
He knows he can simply raise any money he needs on his own. That's why all of his speeches are "we", "our" and he's talking about "you" all the time. He owes the people, not the interests.
Of all of our modern presidents, he does have the best hope of actually accomplishing change.

And they already wrote it, it's called Places.
Meh. Slow, annoying to configure and navigate. Slow.
Hell yeah. That's the very reason why the Marine Corps still has it's own air wing.

That's the original quote. Something like: "Programming is like sex, make one mistake and support it for the rest of your life."

My favorite problem with mysql. Awesome.

If you're still using Firefox for something other than Web Developer and Firebug, I'd be willing to say you're doing it wrong.
I run Linux you insensitive clod.
Eh, not the knife's fault. Actually, I think they're missing a huge revenue opportunity: tax the ones doing the stabbing.
That's what friends with trucks/suv's are for.
I wish I still had my old bumper sticker: "Yes, this is my truck. No, I will not help you move." :-)
Ha! Love that movie. Obviously nobody got the reference. :-)
iPhone sites work great on the Android. :-)
nothing useful has ever come out of functional programming, period.
Lol. I generally agree with you, but map/reduce was inspired by functional programming and seems to be useful for some problems....

Your domain will be safe,
You'll be well on your way
With DNS-SEC security!
For some reason I heard Cartman's voice. Securi-tay
Outsourcing.
Seriously, the civilians don't really care about the mission -- they care about not getting fired.
I'm looking at you, NMCI.
It is.

There was simply no other way provided.

Yes, my favorite is from here:

Not if he just graduated. "I was focusing on my studies." End of question. :-)
Phoenix had a small bubble of it's own. Tons of IT folks and very high salaries from what I heard.
Your area may be harder hit but that's a very small percentage of the overall.
WE have lived a lie that said that a bunch of paper is more important than the coal that it represents and it simply isn't true.
I knew we got off the gold standard but I hadn't realized we switched to coal.
