You've missed the point. Just spouting Hispanic and undocumented/illegal alien together in a sentence is racial profiling. To prove the negative, would you say German undocumented alien, or Canadian illegal alien?
You can't take jobs from Americans when they're too stupid and expensive to qualify.
Using your straw-man, I've never seen an American-educated manager good with financials nor foresight in planning. Most are just greedy, lazy bastards, and usually run a business into the ground. With the poor state of education where high-school is enough and most are geographically illiterate.. of course the ones from other countries who are hungrier and have tougher schools are better.
Along this route, fat to the company execs isn't always fat to engineering, especially in a merger where highly paid == expendable no matter how irreplaceable.
I've seen the side where corps will let go of core people because they're considered trouble-makers even though it's this exact personality that builds and expands the company technically.
So going along with this, the majority of young folks growing up are playing with their PS3s, DS Lites, Wiis, Facebook, Twitter, iPhones, WoW, and pretty much living off the fruits of our original works.
Look at the transition from hardcore programmer friendly phones PalmOS/WindowsCE to more dumb-consumer type phones (Windows Phone 7 Series, aka Wimpy7s), or even the iPhone. Even though Android, iPhone, and webOS do have SDKs to develop on the phones, there's a high learning curve, so people spend more time just running apps and playing with their phones instead of tinkering and rebuilding their ubiquitous mobile devices.
I've personally rewritten the backlight code for every HTC phone I've owned which included a light-sensor even when there's no SDK for it (damn you HTC), and helped out on a few other driver projects, but I grew up in the Apple IIGS generation where this was normal. The rest of my younger peers are satisfied with code that gets by.
When I point out how their code is a few instructions slower than necessary, or how a different code construct is more memory/cpu efficient I get laughed off. This is why multi-core, multi-GHz cpus apps are no faster than years before. The.NET generation is probably the worst offender where people are so isolated from the hardware, they have no idea why their code ends up being such poor quality. Browsing sites like wmpoweruser.com, it's amazing to see how many younger people are against native code these days, and think.NET produces quality apps.
This is the kind of generation that could care less about Linux and OpenSource hacking.
You're so off the field that you shouldn't comment.
This is more like Microsoft sending an update to disable your auto-updates because you refused to update to SP2 for a full year, and then the software refuses to run without auto-updates running.
Since all the patches are now based off SP2, you're forcing them to maintain full roll-up patches which are killing their FREE service servers. So update to SP2, or you're SOL.
RTFA. Of course you didn't and so you didn't figure out this is a free product free to do what it needs because NOBODY paid for the support. It's lusers like you that hold things back by whining about free support.
Since this is a cloud/net based product, they just cut your ability to access their servers right? Perfectly legit and exactly what you described in your first sentence.
Yes, because you're not paying for it! Do you expect companies who have to make a buck be nice to leechers like you?
When was the last time you donated to OpenBSD for all their contributions such as OpenSSH? If so many of your are going to be evil leechers, then companies have no choice and all the say.
Still cheaper than extended warranties, or having the trader rip you off.
It's absolutely great in fact. My example: I bought a mobile from Clove Technology (based in UK). I'm in the USA. Mobile's mini-usb failed in 4 months. Under USA law, it's beyond any return period, so I need to deal with manufacturer for warranty repair. Well, under UK Sale of Goods Act, I get coverage from Clove for at least 6 months for ANY problems. And, if I think the mobile is no good for failing in that amount of time, I can demand either exchange or almost full-refund. This without costing me an extra cent beyond the mobile's purchase price.
Of course, actioning that policy is a different ball since Clove has taken 4 months in attempting to repair the mobile without actually just exchanging or refunding me, also in violation of the aforementioned Act. Well, it's in the courts now.
Done. CVT transmissions don't have shift lag, all automatics can be shifted down for torque control, going downhill you can keep the brakes applied lightly in hybrids without wearing brakes and engine braking still available and while dealt applying the momentum and battery build-up to go uphill.
I appreciate manual's control but cvts offer a good alternative, and be fair even F1 is mostly automatic at this point for all your nits.
You don't sound like a hacker whom can maximize any equipment he uses.
If dating the water erosion on the Sphinx holds any water, then it would date back to 10,000 B.C. when that area was grasslands and experience significant water fall. If the Sphinx was built back then, it would align with the era of the last of the "Boskop Man" placing them in the area of the Nile.
Incidentally, the Egyptian pharaohs were usually depicted having large skulls, and married siblings (to preserve the bloodlines?). Maybe there's some correlation between the knowledge to build the Pyramids and these Boskop Men.
Just follow the way plans work in celphone heaven Japan: tiered rates just like your water and electricity bills. It's low if you stay below certain ranges, and more if you go higher.
I've always been calling this the Sand-trout effect, as described by Frank Herbert. Many sand-trout form one giant collective aka the Worm (TPB, suprnova, mininova, etc etc), but as soon as you try to kill it, the collective scatters and form new Worms using the former as a template.
It's the same as when you tried to strike down terrorism by smacking down Iraq.
The Worm is immortal and cannot be destroyed. Once the genie is out...
The actual spin is that "it's not MS's fault" for perpetuating the outdated distribution method of selling/shipping unpatched versions of Windows to end-users and expecting them to patch up to the latest version. Sure, people can do rollups but it's OPTIONAL.
NO other security-conscious application these days dares to publish anything but the latest security-patched version.
If every OS image being installed was at least the latest "image" from one quarter ago, we definitely would have less problems as time goes by with new systems going online almost fully-patched and old patched systems go offline.

Don't think so!

So this new law magically makes the borders more secure? Sounds like you're trying to catch the rabbit by shooting the dog.
That's what the Nazis said. Might as well have everybody put official paper-stars on their coats declaring their legality.

That's fair then, and an incredible loss for Palm. I apologize for any negativity.

Anybody notice that Abbot was formerly the general manager for .NET online services @ Microsoft before webOS?

Seems to be a biochemist by education too:

So not sure if his leaving is a huge loss for Palm. May be just cutting the fat.
Because nobody PAID for support?
Maybe this is why people are migrating to Ubuntu because of Debian's get-off-my-lawn-ness?

Probably costs too much mental power to sign up to the announce list for leeching free software critical to your operation. Too busy taking a dump?

Seems to be not a new question, and generally leans toward your interpretation:

Case in point, .NETCF is developed in India and it resulted in a terrible ride so far in Windows Mobile.
Well going by this math, then Matrix 3 was actually Matrix 4.

check out to staging directory, then rsync or bittorrent it to servers
