When will there be a filter for my older iPhone? Surly Instagram or Hipstamatic would add "purple haze" to their lineup... My square pictures NEED this feature.
He'd like to continue selling the machines without Mountians of paperwork.
I can see the laws being drafted right now... To turn these into big "Cricut" machines, that are DRM'D to heck and only print LICENSED models from cartridges...
Seriously, who's bright idea was this to plaster 3d printed gun parts all over the geek news???
Social security is still cash positive right now... WE (not the 1%) pay that tax out of our paychecks. The govt has borrowed $2-3 Trillion from that fund.
Health care is a big line item that comes from the general fund. Only a small portion is cornered by the 1.75% payroll tax. Of course, they conveniently omit that we could bump up that specific tax.. If you could convince folks it would go to the correct purpose.
So aside from those items, most Federal money goes to employees or CONTRACTORS... Often at non-competitive rates compared to the real world.
I'd add to pwizard2 that the pay in those locations isn't that great either. Sure you get paid $90k, but rent is $2k a month... It sounds great, but add in $700 for gas and 2 hour commute each way and its practically "indenture meant". You'd have a better standard of living in Michigan on $50k than Silicon Valkey or Boston on $90k.
Again, I was getting at that being part if the "trap" in that sure a fresh grad can live like that, but when they expect a family (work to live, not live to work) those jobs are boat anchors.
I wouldn't say he's a dirtbag... Any worse than others in the "movie industry".
He was already in prison for bank fraud... And he ran the movie production under a false name? Really? Who's money was he messing with this time?
Sounds like a typical OOD Slashdotter! Somebody who's gonna contest and push every little thing cause they feel persecuted. There's a LOT of those people in jail for "pushing the Man around" when they could be free.
They set up enough hoops and demands that you have to spend all your time keeping up. Mostly, that's to keep you out of trouble.. But it also provides plenty of technicalities when you become a nuisance. There's something you missed for them to violate you over whenever they need it.
Except they KNOW the money won't actually improve education. They will basically just buy more visas.
The real problem is that US students are competing with India and China students... Their population EACH is four times the US. If a similar "top 10%" of talent is equal to our students, there are 8 foreign students for 1 American competing for jobs. It's a numbers game.
The second problem is that American schools refuse to teach students the "job skills" portion of CS degrees. The game has always been that you get out of school and have to work really cheap... That was nice for companies that were hiring for a 10 year plan. In the new scheme, the foreign kids are coming from schools focused on producing programmers with years of real experience.
Lastly, there really aren't THAT many jobs in the high end STEM fields. Biology and chemistry are filled with PHd hopefuls doing most of the day-to-day work... At half pay. But there's no jobs when they actually GET the PHd. Engineering just plain isn't building anything... The old guys can barely keep their jobs. Computer Sciences don't really employ that many people. For a company like Apple or Microsoft with 100k workers, way less than half are actually programming... Most are service or sales jobs. So unless you really want to live on the east or west coast, there really isn't a return on investment for going with an insanely hard CS program. For the most part, jobs are supporting manufacturing or sales activities... The Financial and Siftware jobs are really the 10% tip of the iceberg.
But many places use the docs with VB6. THAT is the problem. First, these are HUGE systems that automatically accept.doc files. Second, after VB6 Microsoft's tools went.net and working with the office formats got a lot harder... You're talking 90% rewrite.... Or buy into the mess that's Sharepoint and hope you can hire somebody to make that work.
If somebody spun up a Distro with WINE at XP level, DOC and VB6 compatibility some companies would eat that up.
This has to be a joke... First, Bacon is a byproduct of other pork products. It's the tough belly meat nobody wanted... That some brilliant marketeer figured out how to sell. (And trading pork bellies became stuff of legend...)
this is BAD NEWS for Thinkgeek. Slashdot's FORMER partner in crime. It's a good thing Slashdot got out of Gerkznet when they did. Any interruption in the flow of bacon-based products is gonna shut those guys down. Hard. At least the wont drag Slashdot with them!!!
It works because brute force checking is not going to go 25 characters out. They'll move on. The main weakness at this point is somebody getting the hashed list from a server somewhere. Once they have that it's easy to crack.. That's why youre not supposed to reuse passwords on different sites... Again using the 936 method makes generating them easier.
A proper hash setup should flag only part of a password as wrong with no way of knowing if you were close or not. This is clearly screwed up. Either the hash is deliberately weak, or some idiot admin cracked the whole damn table and made it just 16 characters... Which is even WORSE!
And that is why it's smart that Google is trying to pull this down. This beyond "free speech" and the "yellow journalism" from ALL the actors is starting real wars and real killing.
Obviously, the cat is out of the bag, but at least Google can stop GOOGLE'S resources from being used to throw more fuel on the fire.
This is kind of an Islamic "Tea Party" thing where the far right wing has got something they can use against their OWN governments. The new governments in these countries are trying to be responsible... The "right" wants to push further right than the dictators ever did. This is their power grab.
This is like how the GOP trots out gay marriage, abortion, and second amendment, while thumping the Bible... Because there is no political gain in working for everybody to get along when we mostly agree.
but there's little GROWTH in those markets anymore. Those are tired of getting constantly beat up to buy stuff they don't want or need just to make Microsoft's sales increases for the year. It's a great gig, but trying to FORCE your customers to buy 20% more every year isn't sustainable. For all that technology, Microsoft is more like American Standard... you know the guys that make sinks and toilets that are everywhere. Does anybody in the stock market CARE about toilet makers? Even if they did clear nice profits, they won't clear 20% growth numbers unless they have a wing dedicated to food poisoning and fiber sales.
A company that focuses on maintaining profit margin on established products acts much differently to attract sane investors. They focus on sustainable profits and getting things shipped on time, done right... their goal is to be as NOT FLASHY as possible because that is how the VAST MAJORITY of companies make their money, slow and steady like the tortoise not the hare.
In short, EVERYTHING Microsoft is doing is WRONG for their Enterprise customers.
but what happens is when you have a team of all 4s from somewhere else, now you're kicking several of them to 2s for no apparent reason... Sorry, you're the shortest giant. So unless you are REALLY sure you are going to make the top rung, you jump as fast as you possibly can. You step on the guy beside you first, and often for every little point.
Meanwhile the "bread and butter" developers that make a team flow smoothly and get stuff shipped get hacked and slashed from the politics of the fast movers. So they either drift to the quiet divisions and stay out of the way, or they leave the company. Its easier to "trade down" as long as you can stay a 3, right. Those groups react to anybody rocking the boat too much so they pay very extra safe.
Slashdot Mirror
Gizmodo has to get Apple news from somewhere... They don't get invited to "those kind of parties" anymore... Cause they were brats.
If there was a scandle involving furries would that be Tail-gate??

Or graven images of "The Mouse".

Or MINECRAFT!!! That has all the crafting you should ever need.
Make it extra hard by loading on survival mode.
They have been touched by his noodlely appendage. Ra-men.

They wouldn't sell anything with FAKE Bacon flavoring!!!!!!
Co could Slashdot be associated with lying about BACON products? There's some lines that just can't be crossed.
We need Jack Handy's take on this!!
This has to be a joke... ... That some brilliant marketeer figured out how to sell. (And trading pork bellies became stuff of legend...)
First, Bacon is a byproduct of other pork products. It's the tough belly meat nobody wanted

But then your attempt to use the XKCD method doesn't really work.
I have paranoids. I kick my users out after three tries... No time delay to automatically unlock.
If only that "Customer Service" number didn't ring at home at 2am!!!
That was my first question too.
A proper hash setup should flag only part of a password as wrong with no way of knowing if you were close or not. This is clearly screwed up. Either the hash is deliberately weak, or some idiot admin cracked the whole damn table and made it just 16 characters ... Which is even WORSE!
Can you put that analogy in Words with Friends terms please.
Win Rt can't join domains... What are you doing to DO with Outlook?
Hint: you have to buy the full Win 8 tablet.
And that is why it's smart that Google is trying to pull this down. This beyond "free speech" and the "yellow journalism" from ALL the actors is starting real wars and real killing.

And THAT was the point!
To sink the ship so badly from inside, that you can then go to management and push for the outsourced result.
