Get a proper 2 sockeet board - supermicro and tyan make server boards with 8 and 16 slots for both intel and AMD. 16 slots filled with 2G sticks = 32G on the cheap. Next year, it'll be 64G.
>quote>Even if you have the 64-bit Windows, most of the apps you're running won't have 64-bit versions. So no single app can use all that extra RAM.
Who cares? Linux can use gobs of RAM, so that's an option, while the apps that actually need gobs of RAM will have a 64bit version. Nobody needs 64 bit notepad, but they've got oracle 64.
Epi pens are a completely different story than OTC medications.
Not really - all the zero tolerance policies I've seen have treated them alike. They also require that all drugs be kept with the school nurse - If I have kids and they needthat stuff, I'll be having them carry it.
But really, the nurse's control of all medication doesn't necessarily mean that all medications must be housed in the nurse's office, although most are.
A lot of places interpret it just that way. My school didn't have a RN on call - just a parent volunteer who went home after normal hours. No way I'd trust her to treat a real emergency.
The point is that it's possible to make a reasonable policy to govern drugs of all kids within the student population and deal with extraordinary situations separately.
And that is in direct conflict with most zero tolerance policies. Sane policiy deals with gray areas and complex reality. ZT draws a bright line and damn the consequences.
You're a pretty good troll - look at the response you've gotten. On the off chance you're serious, consider this: the NRA in their early days subsidised gun purchases for blacks so they could fend off Klan lynchings.
How many is that? MS recently screwed iceland's MVP developers so badly that they've probably lost the country entirely - how is that the act of a rational company?
You're missing the point: 5000 candidates is qualitatively different from 50 when dealing with open positions. If you manage to get an in house interview, there are likely only 10-15 others to compete with for memory. With the larger group, that's impossible, and you may not be able to get in through normal channels period. Also, your argument rests on a lot of optimistic wishing - not a good basis for job searches.
He doesn't retain people well because the jobs he has don't pay well, so there's a lot of turnover in his staff. He lives in fear that a former employee will sic the BSA on him, so he makes sure that everything he has on all the PCs is legit.
Well, lawyers are notoriously cheap; I'm going to echo the guy from Mars - this is a bit past normal DD.
The problem with athiests these days is that they personally attack people that have a religion.
Perhaps it's something to do with our last prez thinking that atheists aren't real americans, or the batshit insane christians who attack all atheists. Yeah, there might be some built up resentment.
Actually, the 45:1 is a better deal - at that scale, recruiters can afford to read every resume without any sort of preculling, and are more likely to remember you. With 5000 applicants, they may just throw their hands up and interview the guy who knows one of the devs first.
You should qualify who you mean by "they"... If by "they" you mean the HR drone who's playing buzzword bingo during a pre-screen, sure that might fly.
Where is it that HR does more than make sure the hiring manage likes the guy enough for a phone screen and that the candidate likes the job offered? I've never had HR do tech screening.

Some employers contractually require such a vacation of all terminated employees. Was this the case of your roommate?
I suppose I could do that if they were willing to pay my salary. Otherwise, forget it.
He did say 20 times - 20 fold means 20 times.
well, you can use spare ram as a distributed cache - this is available from a few different places for use in web architectures and whatnot.
Already there - while rebuilding a 12T raid array, you have a fairly decent chance of killing another disk before you finish the build.
Incidentally, people often try to compare "Newegg specials" with Precision-level hardware.
I don't know about you, but I compare supermicro hardware with precision systems. It pretty much is precision level hardware.
what for? Get a real OS and all the spare RAM gets used as buffer cache.
Are you kidding? Even the bargain laptops come with 3-4G of ram these days.

Or, you can run Java programs (for a while) with GC disabled.
Why would you do that? In a well designed app, most deallocations will be free.
The answer to that is something along the lines of "Don't test your God", or more directly "Don't make me come over there."

It seems reasonable enough, considering they don't need a note every time, just once for the school year.
Sure, until you get an asthma attack or need that Epi pen RIGHT NOW. And the nurse is on break. Fuck them, keep the drugs with you.

No software company in their right minds

GIMP is very similar to Photoshop.
No, it's more like PSP with extra scripting goodness. It really isn't the same thing at all.
Call Microsoft sales/licensing and tell them your situation and tell them you're working to resolve the licensing issues.
Isn't this likely to trigger a license audit?
I see you've never been involved in a BSA raid.
No, you need to start a band. You already have the name.
Seems these days about 70-80% of keygens on The Pirate Bay are infected with something.
Hey, that's what VMs are for :)
