As of 1880 or so, there were a total of 12 railroad gauges. It may be that you can trace the 4'8.5" number to a roman warhorse, but I'd doubt it. More likely, that's just what won out. Now all we need is a passenger train network built to european specs (so we can use their trains) and we'll have a good part of our transportation problems solved - if you can travel from NYC to Chicago to SF in a day or two without using much gas (use coal/electricity) or NYC to DC in 2-3 hours, then our oil dependency becomes a matter of convenience.
You never know what the future holds. It could be that everyone working there will need a security clearance someday. This could be because of the nature of the work and some fucked up law protecting us from terrorist.
Then do it someday. Spending money and invading my privacy because of something that may happen someday is idiotic.
And yes, Even janitors would need a security clearance when sensitive information could be laying in the trash or dropped on the floor by some drone of a worker.
Which would be some other place. Please keep on topic.
You know, NASA hasn't been renowned for their competency lately.
God forbid every mistake made by your multi thousand person company made the news. Do you think there might be some political motivation in spreading this stuff around? ya think? They only plopped a robot on Mars and ran it around for a year past it's expiration date, and really, do you have any evidence of astronauts flying drunk? All I hear are rumors.
But maybe giving every employee a security clearance so guards don't have to tear up posters of 40 or 50 year old rockets might be a good idea.
what the hell for? This is JPL, which isn't NASA and isn't classified.
If I were both guilty and devious, I might welcome a bit of blackmail - I can play the innocent and tar the real stuff with the same brush I use on the planted material, thus improving my lot. Depends on the situation, though.
Yeah, I hear that frequently in discussions about rape "it's worse than death" and it's always some guy making the claim about an experience he'll never have (that is, you'll never be a woman and go through a rape), but not too often from actual rape victims. You know why that is? Because it's not worse than death.
You're right, it's not worse than death, but you're also wrong - you don't have to be a woman.
So what is the correct reading? My reading was that appearance matters more than substance, so when forced to choose, make the proles think you generous, as actual generosity is unsustainable and breeds resentment, and that love from the masses is nice, but fear will do. That and that disarming them shows a lack of trust and can lead to you suddenly being 10 inches shorter.
This is the alternative to locking down the CC using servers - you need to log access to anything that could access the servers that use cc data and, if you don't have an isolated network, that includes everything. Even the laptop some sales guy brings in for a sales pitch.
Well, except for utilities, which simply require a government grant of access to right of ways. The USPS isn't one of those, but you know what? They still have to innovate. Email is taking a bite out of their revenue, so they're looking for ways to attract new business.
Used from McDonald's fryers, and I filter it myself.
Doesn't scale at all.
Which, at this point, is EXACTLY what the United States needs to do. We need the rest of the world to catch up to us, and then rejoin it when the playing field is more even.
Why should we do this?
Well, if you keep a good eye on your borders and put some money into hundreds of millions of intelligent and mobile mines, maybe not.
you can also do things like separate objects that are heavily used into their own application, whose only job is to server copies of that object and update the database on behalf of the app servers. this allows you to bring some of the horizontal scaling to the DB, as you can do things like partition your dataset and cache reads.

Your witty riposte has run headlong into reality: IT interns (well, software dev) get paid.

Or maybe it points to his isolation from American culture.

Why is it that politicians don't have to undergo the same background check before being eligible for office then?
It'd make it easy to prevent someone from the wrong party from holding office.

finding out that the only thing stopping them from getting another $10,000 a year and project lead is some petty crime from 20 years ago
Why would this ever be an issue? It's not like we're talking about jobs requiring a clearance.
If you don't book your 8 hours, it's deducted from your pay (even though we are all on salary)
I'm not a tax accountant, but isn't that illegal as hell?

Isn't the plaintiff liable for the cost of discovery, at least in part? Seems only fair that the MPAA pay for that dev time.
Nah, not even a website takedown - this sort of thing is allowed due to the clause about being able to violate the DMCA for interop.

Partner insists on 'unlimited' access to the network
Does that include the bit with series 70 data or do you not have to deal with that?
I'm just tired of people acting as if the startrek episode was some sort of groundbreaking thing instead of a halfassed homage to 1984.
Who cares about the world? I'm talking about the United States, where the bottom 50% have guns.
Wait, we have to stop innovating and maintaining our position so our poor don't shoot our rich? That makes no sense.
Well, except for utilities, which simply require a government grant of access to right of ways. The USPS isn't one of those, but you know what? They still have to innovate. Email is taking a bite out of their revenue, so they're looking for ways to attract new business.
When you get to 10th grade, they'll probably have you read 1984. Watch for the stuff in room 101.
You asked where I get MY oil- not where we'd get ours if foreign sources were cut off.
Hey, you're the one proposing it as a viable alternative to foreign oil.
To keep the bottom 50% of our population from killing the top 2%.
Yeah right. the bottom 50% of the world population is more concerned with fresh water and something to eat than killing the west.
I would- it's now possible to solidify a border against *anything* crossing it
In your delusional fantasies.
Sure, if you like having 1/3rd of the population on the verge of death (that's with food aid from south korea).
The bottom 20%.
No they aren't. They're fat.
Since about 5% of those are homeless
Any most of the truly homeless are either mentally ill or simply unwilling to exist in society, they aren't relevant to the discussion.
Since they accepted incorporation papers from the State
No, their job is to abide by the laws of the country/state and serve their shareholders.
Considering what China has done to us in the global marketplace, that would be bad how?
Mao didn't do that. He's the one that killed 30 million by starvation during his great leap forward. And you call yourself a marxist.
we need them right here at home to feed our own 300 million people.
Who among our numbers is starving?
if it's that big of a problem for them to be patriotic.
Since when is it their job to be patriotic (by your definition, apparently)?
Based on your other spewage, you need to learn some economics. Your economic policies would take us down the path of Mao.

Maybe not, but I wouldn't put money on it.
I'm sure that he'd feel really smart until they slap him back in prison for a probation violation.
