The corp can use the temp numbers as headcount scavange data if they so chose. One data set says 'lean' (low fulltime count) and another says 'leaner' (cut temp count). That's why I'm never impresssed when a corp claims cutting staff is necessary to cut costs.
I couldn't afford my first Mac Plus and no one would give me one so I traded for parts and built my own.
I couldn't find a (insert here, such as 'car' 'computer' 'fishing pole' 'handgun' etc.) that had the fit/finish/features I wanted, so I built my own.
'Hacking' as defined in this context is simply a recently redefined word to describe anyone not satisfied with the lay of their cave, and acting to carve out one they feel more comfortable with. Geeks have no corner on this market.
The list is endless, and ranges from homes to hammers....pants to pantrys....canoes to castles...shoes to saucepans and calipers to coat hangers.
The 'other/temp/tiered/expendable' workers are outsourced. They are not on the corporate head count/roster, so that number doesn't change whenever the outsourced quantities rise or fall. It's a non-event in terms of 'official' staff counts, so there is nothing to have news about.
This is one of the reasons corporations do it this way...they can increase or decrease staffing, and everyone, from investor to competitor, hears nothing...not even the door hitting them in the ass on the way out.
Check out the sci-fi flik 'Mission To Mars'. There are at least two examples in M2M where see-through screens are in use...one is in the mars orbiter, where a screen about a meter wide extends down from the ceiling, and the other are the hand-held screens in use on the surface of Mars, where they are not only transparent, but they roll up when not in use. The actors make interesting use of the see-through screens in both cases. Shame the trailers don't show either screen.
I have a house full of old computers and typewriters and terminals...and then there is stuff in storage and more stuff at friends and relatives houses...you're on your own. And don't look for someone to buy it as scrap...they'll spend their time trying to get you to take more junk off their hands.
Museum....is that what you call it? That's rich...very funny. I tried that line years ago, and no one fell for it then, so I think you need to face up to the fact that you have a lot of junk...just like everyone else.
Calling anyone a coke head on the internet is bad enough. Doing so allegorically smacks of having an agenda. You might want to be a bit more careful, if in fact, you believe what you were told, and you believe this is the place for it.
I'm an American (male) liveing/working in Korea, and naturally I have an ID here, similar to an US SSN. ID numbers for foreignors have always been distinct from the locals.
When World Cup Soccer came around, the Korean Govt. decided to change the ID string format so they could weed out anyone already in the country that was not following the rules. This resulted in all foreignors having to reregister. The story was that they wanted us to be able to have ID numbers that would work with online activities. The result is a new number, that when decoded, has everyone shown as 'female'....and I still can't use banking sites. And, yes, number generators are common. Give them time...they'll figure it out soon enough. ID theft here is as bad as any other country, BTW.
The flow path is in a vertical loop, and while the building to contain one may be 100 meters high, the throat (venturi) is no where near that diameter. Anything more than 10 meters channel size is a very dramatic exercise, and can only be run for short periods of time.
I'm familiar with onboard computers, codes, etc. I was involved when Ford asked Aerospace to design their STAR system diagnostics back in the 80's, but I haven't touched a car computer for over 5 years.
Didn't expect a physical reset...just curious if there is a direct 'accident data' purge, or if that data is co-mingled with routine, gathered driving parameters, etc.
If accident data is distinct, I'd be curious if it is protected from being purged.
Read it again...I posted a MS defense blurb from the MS PM, that was from another site...he didn't 'come onto/.'...
I took the liberty of posting his comment in relation to the BMW story above. And as I said in the title, I'm not impressed by what the MS PM said. Blaming the house fire on the painters may fly in court, but the fact that the foundation cracked, and the breaker box fell off the wall and onto a bucket of open paint, and the paint fire took the house down, is a bit weak, I think.
Jimmy Grewal followed up on recent notes about a BMW computer bug that trapped the occupant inside his car:
I work for Microsoft (program manager for Mac Internet Explorer), and I own a 2002 BMW 745i. Though the underlying OS the vehicle is running is Windows CE for Automotive, BMW and Siemens VDO wrote all of the software that the car is running: [BMW iDrive press release]
I don't think Microsoft should be blamed for problems with the applications written by others on top of their OS, just as no one blames Apple for the problems users have with third party software on their Macs. Furthermore, the on board computer that is running WinCEfA is used to control the radio, tv, navigation system, telephone, etc (commonly referred to a telematics features). The engine management system, electrical, etc. are controlled by another set of computers that also manage emissions, diagnostics, etc.
The 7-Series does have a lot of issues that BMW needs to address, including major failures like this, but most of those are related to the drive-by-wire systems rather than the navigation/entertainment system that's running WinCEfA. It has its own problems, but those are related to confusing controls and an unintuitive interface
Way back when a Mac Plus was state of the art, there was a Space Shuttle simulator/game, that had a panic button for when the boss walked by. Hit that button, and a fake spreadsheet would cover the screen.:)
Well, after the first round of follow-up whinings (level 3) are logged, there is an 'incident number' (IN) reset, and the next whiner (NW) in line goes to the front of the queue. Unless of course, you have already participated in first-round whining (levels 1;2;3), in which case you have to sit out.
Whining-by-proxy, substitute whining, pitch-whiners, designated whiners, ghost whiners and stand-in whiners are all permitted (first-round whiners, all levels), but only for Rhode Island, New Jersey, some parts of lower Manhattan and the District of Columbia.
Floggings will continue until moral improves!

I take it you missed the story on the 'embedded' dolphins that were used to survey harbors in Iraq?
Bugs (that cause crashes, etc.), actually...are cool .
Oh, and users are 'Luddites'. So, it's the loose nut behind the wheel, not the CPU or the software that is the root cause, after all.
C'mon pudge...get it right, please.

Got it, thanks.
Used to be you could jumper at the tap, and clear any stored profiles, forcing the cpu to go back into factory default and learn mode.

What is the reset procedure? How is the box tagged (protocal wise) so that it can be linked to a particular vehicle? Is the stored data proprietary?
