How about we get a binary device interface that doesn't change much? I know it opens up a rat's nest of troubles, but for 3d chips, it's probably the best way. Otherwise, how would you ever support nvidia except on specific kernel versions?
It's not the EQUIPMENT that is expensive, it is the PEOPLE. And, as you Linux zealots know FULL WELL, reverse-engineering is EXPENSIVE in terms of PEOPLE and TIME.
I like TO randomly CAPITALIZE words. I think it MAKES my POINT sound VALID.
Who do you call when your PC or workstation craps out? Who do you call when your measurements database is shitting and you don't know why?
I call IT and a DBA respectively. Then, if someone shits on the floor, I call a janitor.
You call IT. And we fix your problem, regardless of the fact that you're generally snotty, unappreciative, and antisocial. And you still look down on us.
Bullshit. I don't know you, and so long as the PCs get replaced, I don't worry or look down my nose.
Well, from one "IT" person to an "Engineer", get fucked. Wait, I forgot - that isn't possible.
Speak for yourself. Half the people on my team are married or getting married.
Yeah, even for a genius plus. You'd think it'd be easy to find out what's easy and what's hard for someone else, or an audience of normal intelligence, but nooooo.
Yeah they have. Give me a legitimate reason for invading Iraq. Also, please explain why Bush is claiming that the guys in gitmo are not combatants so he doesn't have to follow the Geneva convention, but wants to try them in a military court. But yeah, international law can't really be violated.
Speaking as a genius plus, intelligence isn't nearly as useful as people make it out to be. Sure, it helps, but it can also screw you good.
For instance, you tend to see things as obvious which aren't to most people, so you don't explain as much. Figuring out what needs extra exposition is actually hard. Conversely, school before college is so boring and slow that you may have trouble staying awake. Psychologically, you may get an attitude because you know more than others, or you may hole yourself up in some specialty that matters only to you.
What matters is drive and ambition combined with enough smarts to not get snowed. This is achievable by a whole lot of people, at least compared to the number of really smart people out there. Also, learning how to talk to people in whatever language they speak is invaluable. If they think you're one of them, they're more likely to trust you.
Sorry, no. Minimal privs during normal operation will prevent or contain some of the damage that a virus can do. This doesn't mean that the user can't expand their privs for app installation, but they will still be the weakest link.
My mother was a secretary for some DOD stuff (EGG, I think), and she had higher clearance than her boss - he was cleared for parts of the docs she was working on, but she had to type the whole thing...
It's my opinion that anyone in that list making more than $250,000 is making too much, regardless of how many public appearances they make or how big their name is. How do you feel about your state taxes going to pay for a coach's salary, rather than fixing roads, promoting economic/medical/science development, or preserving natural resources?
It's my opinion that you don't understand economics and therefore subscribe to the spanish theory of wealth. If I can bring in $400k in additional money for my company, it's reasonable to ask for $300k (although I may only get $200k). If I can do $1M, then $500k is just fine - if they drop me, that's $500k they lose, depending on how unique my abilities are.
Enlighten me. Keep in mind that I have done professional writing and have also been nationally published, so I'm a little skeptical an "anonymous coward" really knows how to edit.
My problem is that the local Uni (UW) seems only to have evening programs for MBAs and CS grad degrees. Econ and the like are all full time only. Once I've got enough cash to actually make the leap, I'll go see if I can wheedle a part time degree out of them.
Yeah, any tool (well, most) can code to a good spec. It takes skill to recognize when a spec is shite, then to roll it up and use it to beat a proper spec out of the customer. I don't even pay attention to coding any more - it's such a small part of the problem.
People use IE because that's what's already installed, even if they don't like it that much. Popular implies preference, or at least a decision, and IE is just the default.
Although the absolute return of option 1 looks superior I think you'd still choose option 2.
Actually, option 2 looks nice - $5000 is pretty good. The problem is that 90 of those accounts will disappear at the end of the year, but one will grow to $20,000 (if you pick wisely).

I mean full imersion can only go up to the point where we can't tell the difference between reality and our downloadable entertainment?
That'll never happen - what's the point of the itnernet if it doesn't mean downloading videos of freaky sex I won't be having?

Why all the hate? You don't ask for proof of board certification when someone claims to be a doctor, do you?
How many Carmacks are there, really? Anyway, what's the median salary?

Is it possible that a genius might exist such that their developed ability would be to easily figure out what's easy and what's hard for someone else?
Sure, that's even probable, but we don't measure for that when doing IQ tests.
Yeah, even for a genius plus. You'd think it'd be easy to find out what's easy and what's hard for someone else, or an audience of normal intelligence, but nooooo.

Thank God for copy editors.

When I have to use screws to fix my deck, each screw tends to have its own screwhead for the driver
Let's see: #1 phillips, #2 phillips, square. What the hell else is there?

False. If the 10% CEO ran the $10B company, he would generate $1B for the shareholders of that company
Based on what? Small companies have more growth potential that a market leader.
I went to small claims court, and about half of the cases seemed to center on employees getting screwed out of wages.
No, he's looking at the marginal utility of a dollar. Most people care less about $10k on top of 120k compared to $5k on top of 40k.
Although the absolute return of option 1 looks superior I think you'd still choose option 2.
Actually, option 2 looks nice - $5000 is pretty good. The problem is that 90 of those accounts will disappear at the end of the year, but one will grow to $20,000 (if you pick wisely).
I thought they also sued their thirdparty tool vendors.
The same way you tell a convicted sex offender they can't work at a school anymore.
That'll teach you to moon a cop!
