I have an SSD in my new work machine, with a big disc drive as D:. For this, though, it was pretty simple to install data files (p4 sync, PCB projects) on the HDD and use the SSD for OS and applications.
You should have a two seater sports car convertible. Most anything can fit when you take down the roof, provided you drive slow enough on back streets.
Not to HBO, which is at whom his jab is aimed, due to their choice to limit HBO's online streaming to current cable customers. They don't have commercials and collect all their revenue directly from their customers (and I guess content licensing onto other networks or media, whatever).
Except that the Dens had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate until Scott Brown was elected.
But not right at first due to the extended contest ultimately won by Al Franken. He wasn't sworn in until July. That meant half the first year - and in the crucial first 100 days when a new administration can usually ride on the wave of its election and get things passed without intense opposition scrutiny and delay tactics - they didn't have the majority you claim they had.
After that, they really lost that filibuster-proof majority when Ted Kennedy got sick, not when Scott Brown was sworn in. Checking the dates, the actual period when they could pass anything was around 14 weeks.
Just exactly how much legislation do you think they *should* try to push through in such a short time?
When I looked at it this spring, properly-sized solar panels on my house (to cover baseline load, not summer peak) would cost me about $5k after all the local and federal tax credits. The payback period would be about 5-6 years, so I'd come out very far ahead with the 20-year life. And the $5k investment in the house would absolutely raise the value of the house by at least that much. It all totally made sense.
The only problem was that we have no south- or west-facing slopes that aren't tree covered yet. I'm waiting for either an expansion or an outbuilding to have the roof face I need to qualify for the local rebates.
Very true, but in my experience the people who choose to leave in such a situation likely have some secondary factor driving that decision as well. Perhaps the impetus to change their life is a bad manager, but once they decide to leave their immediate situation, they want to move back home near family, finally start that business they've been talking about, etc.
Spain claims worldwide jurisdiction over certain crimes, though I think they only try to enforce it in the Spanish-speaking portion of the world. The War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague claims worldwide jurisdiction over certain crimes as well.
Both are fine with me, as long as they use legal means to attempt extradition, and stick to prosecuting mass murderer, genocide, etc., against people who would never be tried in their home countries. Some morality has to be global, and any reasonable person can differentiate between basic, fundamental morality and things that reasonably vary from culture to culture. Slippery-slope arguments to the contrary are fallacious.
I don't think that's true. One of the biggest reasons people voluntarily leave a company is because they didn't like their immediate manager. That's true at bad companies, and it's especially true at otherwise great companies.
One problem during normal employment is that, very often, you are supposed to take complaints first to your immediate manager. If you don't like him, you have to either go around him (which could get you in trouble with him) or go to HR (which could get you in trouble with him).
That said, if you do work for a good company, they may not realize that your manager isn't very good at his job. Someone has to be promoted to manager before the company learns how he manages, and not everyone will be able to adapt to it.
So, the exit interview could be a time to let someone at the company know that, while they are a really great place to work overall with an excellent business plan, communication plan, work/life balance plan, etc., you found yourself in a situation where you didn't care for your recent immediate manager and therefore chose to move on. I doubt you've burned many bridges saying something like that, and now they know. A good company might later be willing to hire you back, especially with all the nice things you said about them overall.
So you think someone with a legal handgun would be just as prepared to shoot as this deranged shooter?
The shooter had multiple weapons, including an assault rifle. Do you propose that people who carry a concealed weapon will also choose to carry a second or third concealed weapon, one of which is a large rifle, so they can be just as prepared as a deranged shooter?
The shooter was wearing a bullet-proof vest. Do you propose that people who choose to carry a concealed weapon will also wear a bullet-proof vest at all times so they can be just as prepared as a deranged shooter?
The shooter tossed a tear gas grenade. Do you propose that people who choose to carry a concealed weapon will also wear a gas mask at all times so they can be just as prepared as a deranged shooter?
Like any other arms race, concealed weapons carried by law-abiding citizens just elevate the race. There's no way anyone can be sufficiently prepared at all times as someone who knows the exact date and time.
Fortunately many would-be shooters are stupid, and in those cases a law-abiding citizen with a concealed handgun can and does prevent something far more violent. In this case, however, I fully believe that any law-abiding citizen with a handgun in that theater last night would right now either be dead or arrested for negligent homicide, as they either would have been killed by the assailant or by the police, or they would have shot an innocent bystander in the dark, smoky chaos and have been charged appropriately.
Blanket locking down though is no longer an option, even in heavy regulatory environments. RIM needs to provide that level of security for corporate applications while still allowing user space on the device for personal use, if they expect anyone to actually want to carry one of their devices. On the back end, IT organizations need to be implementing the content monitoring processes necessary to enable and document compliant uses while blocking noncompliant actions. Yes, that means allowing users to access LinkedIn from their work-issued phone, and even post some things, but have their use of the "Like" button restricted and having all of their posts archived and, if necessary, moderated. It's less easy than a blanket lock down but it's what needed now to stay competitive, both for retaining customers and your employees.
I've said it elsewhere, but what I think is that they need to release an Android phone that has the same back-end security as a BlackBerry. Sure, let users download apps and play with them in user land, but launch a corporate app and its content is locked down and protected. This is what Trusted Computing is for. (I'm not saying I would buy one for myself, but were my company to issue a phone I had to carry, having it act like a standard fully-featured Android phone plus have corporate support would make it better than a regular Android phone for sure.)
One way the iPhone fails is with its complete lack of user security. My wife is a BA for internal mobile applications at a big company, and they struggle with the iPhone's complete lack of back end security - something that RIM does very well.
I've been waiting for RIM to release an Android smart phone where they have ported in their rugged encrypted back end, so customers can use it in user land like any other Android device, but launch a corporate app and it has all the security of a BlackBerry. But they never did anything of the sort, and if they aren't close to release now I don't think they'll survive long enough to do it.
The government gets all abandoned property when someone dies.
Thing is, it wasnt abandoned: It was entrusted to another private entity, who has used its own resources to safeguard it.
...and been compensated for that over time, either via monthly fee or by using the money to lend out and earn interest. They have no vested interest in the capital.
If you run a botnet, better check any of your zombies for this and fix them quickly. Otherwise they might get attention from a PC tech who'll remove your code as well.
Because bank corporation people don't have wives who are probably also around 40, and don't have a life expectancy of 80 or so, and thus aren't the same as people people who eventually run out of the choice to have a family if they don't act on it.

Double plus agree.
Except with blackjack, and hookers.

How many of the secret cities did you ever find in Seven Cities of Gold?
I could only ever locate one of them, even though I took the time to walk every single square in South America...
My work computer right now is named "Archon", as is my cell phone. =P It's one of the names I rotate through machines. I loved that game.

I'm not sure if you saw, but apparently someone who barely avoided your shooting was shot and killed in the Colorado shooting last night.

Using fractional lending, which you clearly know about as you mention it a few posts down, the money is already being used for loans.
Don't worry about cordless phones, that is a very low priority in this situation use a wired phone on the landline.
What are these landlines of which you speak? I thought you only needed one of those when you wanted to leave the Matrix.
