That's right... all that Apple coolness can change the weather. In fact that's why they do the split tier release thing so as not to release all that coolness at once and precipitate a possible weather disaster. Before he died, Steve Jobs was working on a way to harness Apple Coolness to fight global warming, but he never got to finish.
No that would be a biological function, you can tell when they get their network marching orders when their eyes glaze over, flash blue for just a second and they suddenly have to leave to do something urgent.
But first he enjoys a good hot bowl of swamp stew! When Yoda vanished... where'd the stew go? One of the many mysteries of the Lucas universe. You think the ex-employees of Lucas Arts will find out where Yoda went? You think the force is strong with them? You think there's any relationship to your midi-chlorian count and the size of your unemployment check?
you also need stickers of all the things you add, they add an additional 10 hp per sticker.
You mean RallyArt and Evolution stickers?
Also rip the Type R badging off an old Honda. That'll add a least 25 HP to your laptop.
Damned overclocking hooligans! Runnin' them souped up 8 core Xeons. and 6 core i7s. Mark my words, someone's gonna get themselves killed! Lolligagging all day, drinkin' orange and grape Nehi... braggin bout yer chrome, and cruisin the internet showin off all yer fancy puter hoohah!!! Git a job! Make somethin of yerself! Stop all that puter racin, an grow up!!!
The mouth breathers are going after IP addresses to sue from an ISP with dynamic IP hosting. What you do has nothing to do anymore with someone who wants to sue you for deeds done on an IP address that may or may not have anything to do with you on the date of the infraction. The bottom line is that they are not interested in justice, this is rape pure and simple.
You know, there are enough of us now. Perhaps its time we considered a little chlorine for the shallow end of the gene pool? Ask law graduates what they think of this case. If they say, this is a travesty against humanity, they get a pass. If instead they want to know how to get a job at this law firm, we send them to the Office of Soylent Green. Figure they'll do more good as a cheap protein source for the third world. There's a kind of poetic irony to eating those who would gladly eat their own. I wonder if it would have had the same impact of Charlton Heston had yelled "Its made of Lawyers!!!" Just a thought.
Oooo! Oooo! Me... I'll shoot a lobbyist! We should declare a season... find someone who'll stuff and mount them for our living rooms!!! Why yes, I bagged this fine specimen wandering the hall right around Speaker Boehner's office. He tried to scrabble down a stairway and boom! Funny thing is he's lobbying for the NRA!
Convince a good lawyer to take this as a class action. Sue for court costs, his own legal fees and emotional damages. I can't imagine jury anywhere on the planet that wouldn't give the win to the little old lady. Use this as a model for said trolls and when it becomes clear that we are hoisting these parasites on their own petards, perhaps they'll go away!
Pretty much just incidental. Reagan's interest in "High Tech" was mostly limited to military applications (like Star Wars) which turned out to be huge financial boondoggles. He killed financial support for solar and other alternative energy technologies and put James Watt in charge of the environment (a man who believed we should use up the environment as soon as possible to hasten the second coming.)
By comparison, Eisenhower set the economic stage for Bell Labs, IBM, Dupont and DOW Chemicals and a brand new government space program named NASA. The JFK expanded all of these things dramatically including the mandate for a man on the moon. Clinton was the seminal power behind America's global advance in internet technologies and in 2000 we were leading the world. With Bush's cutting of support of the internet and redirecting economic focus on fossil fuel, war and housing, America has fallen behind Asia and even Europe. So Ronny may have presided over the 1980s expansion of high tech it would be very hard to claim he was a friend to advancing technology.
M-Disk now finally allows you to make good archival high density storage (DVD.) Combine this with a good document management tool (like Docmoto on Mac) and you can pretty much be assured of managing all you paper to electronic needs elegantly. Additionally, a lot of HEAVY DUTY Document Management Applications (eg. Docfinity) have sophisticated Business Process Management tools included to control process flow for those documents. One cool feature for these tools is the ability to parse metatags from files names. or Import files (often in CSV formation.) You could store your documents in an intelligently organized directory tree, and keep a central spreadsheet with file location and name and the metadata you want to maintain for those documents. At some time in the future you could export your spreadsheet and use it both as the information needed to import those documents and add the necessary tags to those documents.
There are elegant solutions available, haven't seen any great open source ones yet, this whole process is still surprisingly new. Part of the problem is that its still labor intensive, expensive and the problem space remains poorly defined.
Not necessarily so... Google (or any cloud storage resource) is an awesome place to store encrypted and compressed documents. You just want to make certain that you back everything off every once in a while so if Google (or other resource) decides to pull the plug, you won't find yourself trying to slurp 5 GB of data down in a week through a limited resource being crushed by a hundred million other users doing the same.
Will drive you mad... look at how many times the phrase "featured in Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos as an ode to the sometimes strange and fascinating world of the microbe." is used in the story??? MAD?!!!!
Indeed, the Great Old Ones shall not be mocked! Anyone got some tartar sauce?
As I recall it, the bubble was the result of 8 years of William Clinton pumping insane amounts of money (through critical tax sheltering) into high tech, specifically information technologies. This caused an explosion of new technology and a parallel explosion in technological hype and tech fantasy bovine feces. Come 2000, a certain President Shrub, and his oily cohorts pulled the plug on Silicon Valley. In fact his good buddies at Enron cooked up a rotating black out scheme that sucked 18 billion dollars out of California's Coffers and caused massive enterprise wide service failures among the nations top tech enterprises. Within 10 months the tech economy was circling the steep part of the toilet and American Tech and tech workers have never been the same.
Were there insane start ups in 2000, you bet your sweet hinnie. But a lot of great ideas got killed too. A lot of amazing tech got scooped up for pennies and a lot of world changing technology got flushed never to be seen again. Hundreds of thousands of engineers were forced to find new careers. There was a 2 year period where the only SQA jobs I could find on Dice.com were located in other countries. I wasn't prepared to do SQA in Qatar (I'm guessing being a female engineer might have been a wee bit dicey in the middle east.)
So the DotCom Crash was an engineered event, not unlike 9/11 (I'm not talking about conspiracy so much as idiocy.) Powerful, greedy people wanted certain things to happen and they did. The crash was almost incidental. Other more recent bubbles were wholly manufactured to the benefit of "Greedy Bastards(tm)" a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Banking, Insurance and Corporate system. Some of you will argue its the government's fault, but I challenge anybody today to show me where the government starts and "Greedy Bastards(tm)" ends... I thought so. A rose by any other name.
Apps are a different thing. Like business cards. There'll be a need for them for a long tme to come, it will just eventually degenerate into 20 or 30 general categories of dancing baloney. You have C++ and JAVA (poor JAVA, Oracle is going to turn you into a used corporate fertilizer receptacle), learn security. A) its actually interesting. B) its going to be steady work for at least 20 years. C) If you pick the right place, you'll actually improve life for the general public and any time you can nail all three of the above, you've score quite a hat trick!
Okay let's give this a whack... so in the long haul, there may be valid arguments for opening borders to trade and flattening the global economy, but over the last 30 years, what has happened is that America has completely lost the ability to do heavy manufacture (robots are just now bringing that work back home, but not to human beings sadly.) Though corporations make out, workers get squished. More and more they begin to resemble the third world workers who have gotten their jobs, until the third world workers rising economically meet our workers on the way down. In 1950-70 the average American paid 20% of their wage to Housing, Interest and Taxes. Through the devaluation of American currency from pumping it by the trillions into the developing world's economies, through corporate interests spacing the American economy, through inflation/QE, through predatory corporate and government practice, the average American now spends 70% of his income on housing, interest and tax.
I'm not even saying that the unnaturally high standard of living for the average American at the middle of last century didn't come at some high prices with respect to global competitiveness. I'm just saying the last 30 years have been a superating wound on the middle class with no end in site, and our government is about to cut the social safety net completely away leaving the poorest and least able to take care of themselves without means to live. When I see the vanishingly small population of disturbingly wealthy and powerful who have all made out like bandits (bandits being the oprerative phase here), I myself tend to long for the days a somewhat more protectionist American economy. Of course you may be one of those folks who've done well so clearly your mileage may vary
Apparently you didn't get the memo... A) Government opens contract B) Corporation X with help of lobbyist gets contract C) Corporation X lobbies further to allow it to outsource work to the lowest international bidder ensuring the highest possible profit margin so Corporation X can keep a really impressive stable of lobbyists. D) One more "for sale" representative funds their next campaign war chest.
Our government hasn't been protecting American Jobs for some time now. As for keeping money in the country... HAHAHAHAHAAHHHAHAAHHAAH... whew, that was really good. You have an awesome future in stand up. The only up side here is that we're wearing a dynamite vest and there's no place China can go that they won't be killed by the economic blast too. Top o the World MA!!! BOOM!!!
Actually, we should use a substantial amount of Chinese equipment in places that are assured non-security related (who cares if they have current information on our disposition of stray cats and dogs), and then a bunch more attached to honeypots and decoy networks to watch them watching us.
Most martial arts show us that every attack is an opportunity to use an opponents momentum against them.

He'll have to take his rightful turn after thousands of Politicians, Religious Fundamentalists and Bankers.
I beg your pardon! I never meander while crotch sniffing. Everyone knows a trollop is called for. La la la la la lalala la lala la...
It said Abby! Abby Normal.. Damn your eyes! Too Late!
Oh, and Gesundheit!
Apparently not to the wealthy and powerful...

Ram-rodding legislation through an eager and willing Congress would have sounded to suggestive...
