I've worked at 3 different companies in my career, and at each of them, IT as an organization held the attitude that the company existed for their benefit, and not the other way around.
IT needs to understand that it is a service organization with the mission of satisfying its customer by providing top notch service and support, and asking "how high?"
... is the further erosion of Internet freedom, personal civil liberties, and the consolidation of more power to government.
The government will respond to these embarrassing attacks by clamping down even more on liberty, and by more tightly regulating the Internet. They will use it as justification for more warrantless eavesdropping, reading your email (they already do that, actually), and tapping your phones.
The government spends too much time making sure everyone gets a trophy and a gold star and not enough time drilling math and science. The education gap starts in Kindergarten, not college. More money for education is not the solution. The solution is to set schools free of most senseless federal regulation and allow schools to focus students on things they like rather than enforcing a uniform education on everyone.
Sounds like Gnome failed to meet the delivery date for code before 11.04 was frozen. That is not Ubuntu neglecting Gnome shell, that is Gnome neglecting Canonical's milestone dates.
The statement that "The chrome experience on Linux is better than the Chrome experience on any other platform" does not imply that "The Chrome experience on Linux is better than the Firefox experience on Linux."
I haven't watched local TV news in years because I got sick of all the senseless, meaningless time-wasting banter, fluff, chuckles, and other diversions that reduced the amount of product.
It takes about 0.2 seconds to turn it off and switch back to the legacy interface. Every time an article about Ubuntu shows up, I see hundreds of comments complaining about Unity.
Just turn it off. You don't have to use it. You can do it right from the login screen in a couple of clicks.
That is because climatology is a religion, not a science. Those who speak out against its generally falsified findings are vilified by the political left and held up as the anti-Christ (with Al Gore, of course, being Christ himself).
Climatology has no credibility and is not worth the time to debunk. It is flawed by inspection, like saying 1 + 1 = 4.
But I would venture a guess that the scientists who are so vocal about her findings are the very same scientists that rationalize silly things like God and Creationism in their own minds. After all, the existence and viability of arsenic-based life would be an affront to their own distorted views on the origins of life as we know it today.
That's important. If that's the case, if I have X-Plane (a flight sim that uses OpenGL and not DirectX) it would be better to use a workstation card than a typical DirectX gaming card, I assume?
It is not so much that the FAA is required to keep track of citizens. However, it does keep records of all flight plans filed.
The only time a flight plan is usually filed is when a pilot flies in instrument meteorological conditions, or in Class A airspace (all airspace above 18,000 MSL). Both of these are voluntary, so there is no "requirement to track private citizens." There may be more, but I need to go through the FAR/AIM and refresh my memory some time soon.
It is absurd to expect this generation's crowd of entitled morons, who have never been "wrong" at anything, to put in the work to learn to be a Computer Scientist. The solution, of course, is to just hand everything to them on a silver platter like they've had done for them for the first 18 years of their lives.
First of all, CS 1 is not hard. Hello World. Some if and switch stuff. Some for and while loops. Basic functions. None of CS 1 is designed to make you a good programmer. It is designed to find out if you have the mental capability to be a programmer.
CS1 is about your ability to design very basic algorithms. Case in point: The Calendar. Printing a calendar for an arbitrary month and year is not hard. The algorithm for deciding when the leap years occur is not hard. Almost anyone can come up with some kind of algorithm to print a calendar. What the assignment reveals is whether you're going to sit down and think about it first, draw some charts, think some more, and understand what is going on before you code; or if you're just going to sit there and mindlessly churn out 4000 iterations of trial and error code.
The students who do the latter will not finish the assignments on time, not learn anything, and flunk out of the class. That's a good thing.

Maybe the Corvette driver will even come back to pick you up when your Tesla dies 100 miles short of Vegas. :)

It is illegal to use a GPS jammer in the US. The fines are steep.
If you remove the SIM card from the vehicle, it will not "start," in that the vehicle will not shift from Park unless the SIM card is installed.

Do you have any evidence that this is in the cards, or is this just a slippery slope fallacy?

And that's all I have to say about that.
That is because Exelon is run like a government bureaucracy that has no clue what it's doing.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

I am hoping Linus will not let himself be drawn into the version wars.
between a 300W $500 high-end gaming video card and a $500 "workstation" card that consumes half the power? What is missing from the workstation card?
It wasn't anywhere near "mentioned in passing" in the article. It was stated quite plainly and directly.

Thank you for being a voice of logic and reason among the sea of armchair Nuclear Engineers.
ifconfig works great for me
