the funniest though was the question "how's your TCP/IP?"
And if you want the job, you say your TCP/IP is awesome. Eventually you'll get to a real person who knows things.. and if you don't, then you just got a sinecure (job title and pay with no duties -- score!). That means you can play Tetris all day and no one can fire you, because no one can say what exactly you're meant to be doing.
Again, look at how many people are angry. If you don't want to listen, just dont! It's not like you HAVE to listen to satellite radio. I enjoy the program, so please dont go bitching to the FCC now just because you happened to: log on, click the link, and enjoy it until it got to something that offended you.
Most recruiters, job engines, etc wouldn't even forward you the resume if it didn't match certain keywords. So people that want to get their resume in front of someone have to put every conceivable keyword on there, in the hopes that their resume will at least get to some decisionmaker. You can safely ignore that list, it's an unfortunate consequence of trying to get hired in today's market. A classically formatted resume will never get past the computer filters.
It's hard to look at what traffic is coming through and not block some good stuff when all you're trying to do is keep bandwidth hogs at bay. I don't see why they can't just have strong user ID's, and go after people individually who seem to use a ton of bandwidth; after all, the university's computers could be a monitored network, and there's nothing that says they have to give you free, unfiltered wi-fi on your own personal laptop.
We dont have one laptop per child here, not even close. Why is it that we're not on top of this stuff, yet we're happy to catapult other countries ahead by selling them the laptops?
I predict that Eighth Generation computers will compile no programs, run no applications, and access no data. Instead they will be designed and tuned to give a continuously variable spectrum of elegant and precise error messages describing your failure to induce them to do so."
Yeah, because there's evidence in that pyramid that the aliens who built it used digital communication also... Maybe it would be easier to communicate, albeit more expensive, if we shot up a big rock with stuff written on it, say maybe 10 rules that we consider important? I can't imagine that would be misinterpreted somehow by an early desert people on another planet.
Of all the songs you could put on a game, why even put that one unless you know you want the controversy? Why not put 'F* the police', or '911 is a joke' as well?
why is there such a thing as an "unprotected windows box"? Isn't this a serious fault of Microsoft that there's even a way to have an "unprotected" system on the internet? Seems to me that the microsoft firewall should be light, nimble and ALWAYS ON.
more than half a million installed, and 450,000 sent back crash data... so even if we assume it was nearly a million, that's 50% crash rate. I'd guess it was way higher even than that. So, over half of the systems were crashing bad enough for Microsoft to care? Wow! What exactly is the problem? I thought this was supposed to be a newer, better version. Wouldn't we see a 10% crash rate, or even a 25% crash rate at this point if things were really getting any better?
Once again, Hubble comes in handy when crawling the sky... it would be great if they could keep it running until the next one gets up there, but I guess we'll have to make do with cruddy ground scopes for a while.
Games are supposed to be a way to virtually get out frustrations that are illegal and wrong to do in real life. If you aren't capable of making the distinction between fantasy and real life, and if your fantasies involve killing people or whatever, then violent games are NOT FOR YOU!
the correct quesion should be, 'what's wrong with continuing to build solar rovers that we need a nuclear one? So far, the solar ones haven't stopped running, so I'd say that solar is a home run.
So if i "save" a virutal snapshot, and reboot the host, can i bring back the same virtual snapshot? Furthermore, could it apply to the HDD too, or only to RAM, etc when you restore? If it could, then wouldn't this be ideal to create a mono-instanced virtual terminal which could always be cleaned of viruses with a "reboot to clean saved snapshot"?
Since there are digital tuners galore that detect the pitch or volume of a signal, couldn't there be hacked an adaptor for a regular electric guitar for this game to some extent? It would be way cooler to play along with a real guitar versus that tiny plastic thing.
Help me/us countryfolk understand: So if you get a BSOD in a virtual environemnt, are you dead or not? I imagine that with some of the Windows hardware hooks, you'd probably be dead anyhow, so it wouldn't matter if you were virtually dead or really dead.
Has anyone actually tried to take an aluminum foil wrapped anything through airport security? I assume that would look suspicious to anyone, i.e. why the hell is it in foil, is it a bomb, etc. Did you get harassed at all? I actually just got a passport and am travelling far, far away, so I *could* try it...
I know some people that aren't any smarter than my current computer. Heck, in terms of chess, I'm one of them... my computer can kick my ass at chess. Right now we have computers that can feign intelligence, i.e. use the internet to pass a multiple-choice test, but this is not a true measure of intelligence. If in 2015 a computer literally breaks out of a research lab and starts a mission of doom, then I'd say we might have one as smart as a person.
As Linux becomes easier to install apps on and to configure for home internet usage, for regular folks it becomes more realistic to start out with it. I don't think a regular user could switch their machine from Windows to Linux with one CD and a reboot yet... right? Can anyone show us some links for how easy the switch is, and what wouldn't be supported in general after the switch?
