I remember that, at RPI, situations like this were resolved by having the group members assess the contribution of each person. The professor could the give out an A, A, F instead of 3 B+'s
A T1 is not a Lan. It is a point to point link. If you want to see what's going across your T1, you should first check the various counters that your router provides. As for capacity testing, get a box on the other side of the link that you can do load testing with and poll that.
I noticed that they didn't consider the effect on turnover, nor did they quantify the actual costs, so they really didn't say much. Anecdotally, I would expect a reduction in turnover and an increase in product quality in places that are conducive to work.
If you are at the bottom of one tax bracket, and are making more then say the top of the lower bracket, you actually take home less money
not true. If you sit at the bottom of a tax bracket, you pay that rate on the income that falls in that bracket plus a fixed amount which is basically the lower tax bracket's tax obligation.
However, the GNU GPL'd code requires that other code mixed with it is released as GPL.
So release it as LGPL. If, as your parent post believes, Echostar owns the GPLed code, they can do as they like. They can even release an arbitrary part of the code as GPL, while retaining the remainder internally. Of course, the GPLed stuff won't compile, but they can do that.
It occurs to me that if the internal situation at Echostar is as bad as others have implied, they might be releasing the code because doing so gives them better version control than what they already have.
I've worked in a lab where we used cameras that generated 640x480x4 (32 bit color) frames at 60 Hz. Guess what. You can't even buy a HD that can sustain that kind of transfer rate for any period of time.
Sure you can. Get 4 u160 disks and run them in raid0 - instant 80-120MB/s sustained bandwidth. If you want 10khz, it's a bit different, but 60 is doable.
Shouldn't that be "If he gets you to buy without saying anything, make him CEO. If he tells you to buy and write it off as a business expense, make him CFO" ?
Real geeks don't send CVs in Microsoft Word format - at least not to people they respect.
Very funny. As a Real Geek, I find your generalization lacking. I realize that the people I'm talking to are HR people for the most part, and they always demand Word format resumes. When they don't, a text dump looks pretty good.
ISTR back when W2K was released there were allegations that it used OpenBSD's TCP/IP stack without attribution.
What happened is that microsoft used some ported bsd utilities, such as ftp and telnet, which spit out the copyright message on startup. Somehow somebody got confused and thought that this meant that the TCP stack was from BSD, when it's a complete custom job.
can you do it without using a third, temporary variable?
I could, but it would be pointless. the third variable will most likely be mapped to a register, and fancy tricks with XOR confuse the compiler when it's optimizing.

It's a nice system, but unfortunately not a whole lot like the real world.
Sure it is. You slack off because you're other job is more important, your boss finds out, you get kicked to the curb.

He's currently seeing 300k - 900k. I doubt he'll raise a fuss if he only sees 1500k instead of 1536k.

So you're saying that over the findings of a study that took into effect 373 companies, that you'll accept anecdotes as the basis of your beliefs?
No, I'm saying that:

Ecchoing previous sentiments, Betamax is not used in production. Betacam is. Similar names, big difference
Our VHS circa 1982 lets you see the picture while you fast-forward. It also has a remote control with a cord on it, which is less than useful.
More useful than you may think - betcha never lost it in the couch.
Since when can you do Email without a computer, anyway?
They declined the offer saying 'that they only trust something that costs money'.
Should've offered them an expensive support contract.
These are home machines they are talking about, not university workstations. Try not to be so elitist.
I can't help myself - I've got a dual P3 from 1999 and a dual athlon with a gig of ram racked in my basement. No neon, though.

Jobs rarely last over 18 months in this business. Training is rare because it isn't worth the company paying for it.
If you made the environment conducive to work and pleasant besides, people would stay longer. Once that happens, training becomes worthwhile.

Have you considered that the people who are right are the majority?
Has it occurred to you that the dictionary may be behind the times? Based on your complaints, what is correct is changing.
They both echo the Oxford English dictionary! (ie a US billion = thousand million , UK billion = million million)
That doesn't mean anything. Dictionaries only tell you how something si being used. They can't tell you who's right.

If he also buys, make him the CEO.
Shouldn't that be "If he gets you to buy without saying anything, make him CEO. If he tells you to buy and write it off as a business expense, make him CFO" ?

No.
2) "How much do you want?"

But you're still SOL, because he GPL'ed the code. You can't relicense stuff you don't own.
