In my New Employment Orientation (NEO) at Intel, they basically said ~The only way we'll ever get beat is by some minor startup nipping at our heel~. The jist of it is they said they will not get bogged down in old ways of doing things and will constantly change. Well I think the CEO needs to take NEO...
a) Ticket for talking while driving?
That's illegal, and I personally think you're an asshole for doing it, and think you deserve to have a ticket, with a three strike no license policy.
b) Where were you on the night of BLAH?.. Oh
yeah, well your phone says you were HERE!.
So you are suggesting that police with a warrant should not have this information? This ties in with...
c) A text message saying "Would you like to
buy some CRAP?" as you walk by the CRAP
store.
Once again you are assuming anyone has it. Damn boy.
Wow! Caller ID is a totally new concept to you??
Wow! You think anyone has access to this information on cell phones??
Wow! You can think of a practical situation where the location on your cell will be used against you??
I'd like to join everyone else in telling you how extremely wrong you are. Your base argument is that you cannot hold an opinion unless you do something about it.
Ebola is bad. I'm not curing it. If I'm not part of the solution I'm part of the problem. Therefore, I must think Ebola is good.
Thus spake your logic.
His intention was to point out that this should not be done, that is, make a (front page) headline about every minor release. Instead of going against this intention, you attacked the manner in which he expressed it. Indeed, he was incorrect in what he said, yet your comment still made me dumber.
On a windows box you can change the MAC address by creating a network bridge and adding your network connection to it. On a linux box you probably just have to edit a file called something like
MAC Address DO NOT CHANGE.conf
And then they put it as read only hoping no one learns how to use chmod.
In a year I'll be crying after google fails to deliver, and I'll go back to the internet archive's time machine. Then I'll be puzzled by the 2001 google not working.
Oh no the movie is ruined for me for I now know the fate of one of Frodo's digits.
I knew everyone that was going to die before the third Matrix movie and that didn't make it any worse than it already was. I don't think the knowldege of the demise of 1/793rd of Frodo will ruin this movie either.
I'm looking from the North down you insensitive clod.

Effective XML
·
· Score: 1
I really haven't touched XML. The reason? From the outside, it lookies bulky and slow. Parsing strings and using only 128 bits of the character isn't my idea of efficiency.
Could someone explain to me why conversion into, say a binary map or such, isn't an advantage? I can easily see its portability, and ease of use, I just don't see the speed and small size.
This is a good idea. If it costs the government $600 million every three years to keep it running, then it costs private business around $60 million for the same time period.
It appears that even though broadband is cheaper than it has ever been
I must disagree. It's more available than it has ever been, but at least in terms of cable, have you looked at your cable bill lately? Ours goes up several times a year. You might say that's just the cable TV part become more expensive. Well, when you can't buy the cable internet without getting the cable TV as well, so it's the same thing.
Well ok, you're dodging the point of the question. Say he plays the game after that, that is, whatever game starts identically (same person goes first), he plays identically. Come on man give me more credit than that.
When this kind of data is released, it cuts into the ability of a business to price things appropriately to the demand.
This is one thing that is gotten me for the longest time. Companies often price arbitrarely, not according to supply and demand. Ideally they are supposed to price such that the amount sold equals the amount is/can be produced.
(watch me get sued for saying this) A certain type of printer paper (photo quality, perhaps?) costs about $7 from Best Buy. An employee of Best Buy only has to pay a small % above what Best Buy paid for the product. How much does this paper cost for them? About $2.
Who in their right mind thinks that a 350% profit is at the equilibrium position of the supply and demand curve? What most companies fail to realize is that demand is a function of price. I won't buy Nike sneakers, not if I make a seven figure income. Why? It's a very crappy deal. (Oh yeah for them the entire price of a pair of sneakers is around $10, that includes everything from construction to shipping to paying everyone to maintanence on every piece of machinery used, etc).
If you don't think price effects demand, consider baseball tickets, and movies. Players / actors demand more money. Tickets / food costs more. Bust.
If businesses want to complain about others destroying them, maybe they should stop themselves first.
I decided to check it out after you mentioned it. I ran a search for "fark" on it, in any language and content filtering off.
Alltheweb: 987,129 pages.
Google: 771,000 pages.
It looks like they hit the ground running, however let's look at the first 3 results of each.
Google: Fark.com (followed by a second page at fark.com), ScreamingMidget, and Fark Personals. The screamingmidget page was about fark cliches, and was pretty relevant.
Alltheweb.com: goatse.ecx. Yes I have the filter off, yet how the hell was this rated higher for fark than fark.com? Next: fark.ru. This took a very long time to load, but it does actually appear to be a russian fark page. Why this was given priority of the.com, I'm not sure. Now the next result confused the hell out of me: earthwire.net. Apparently that's is some sort of alternative domain for fark.com (just trying going there). Many more results were for fark.ru and fark personals. I didn't look past the second page for a fark.com link.
I am very impressed with the number of pages it turned up (a couple hundred thousand more than google), but they don't seem to have a good scoring system.
A note: I turned on their offensive page filter, and goatse.cx remained the first result on the list.
...for an IT to add
* A math degree
* A statistics degree
* An economics degree
* A programming certification
* An engineering certification
Assuming of course you already have a _degree_ as an IT, getting a 2nd or 3rd degree is much quicker. If your job is going down the crapper, ask your company to pay for more education. They'd gladly pay double for school what they'd refuse to give you in a raise.
I'll be an intern for the next six months. I'll earn a bit over $20/hr USD, although I still have more than two years left of school. Engineering is the bomb if you can take it.
What if as a state you decide to view Microsoft as a sovereign nation, then as a state, enact full trade sanctions?
It doesn't make any sense, then again nothing in politics has for quite some time.

The laptop seems to be alright, but the bag (a WWDC giveaway) is completely knackered.

No no, linux needs the squeeky image, but also a bold one, thus I suggest Polished Turrets.

If Kasparov played his next game identically, would the computer come to the same decisions as before, securing him another win?
