And how is this hiring?

Alexia Sloane is only ten years old, but she got the opportunity to work as an interpreter at the European Parliament in Brussels. Alexia received an exception to the age 14 minimum rule because she is fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Mandarin, and is now learning German -and she does a great job interpreting. Did I mention that Alexia is blind?
Alexia has been tri-lingual since birth as her mother, a teacher, is half French and half Spanish, while her father, Richard, is English.
She started talking and communicating in all three languages before she lost her sight but adapted quickly to her blindness. By the age of four, she was reading and writing in Braille.
When she was six, Alexia added Mandarin to her portfolio. She will soon be sitting a GCSE in the language having achieved an A* in French and Spanish last year. The girl is now learning German at school in Cambridge.
Alexia has wanted to be an interpreter since she was six and chose to go to the European Parliament as her prize when she won a young achiever of the year award.
This is not surprising to me. With the costs of tuition going up, I am willing to bet most students are also working a fair number of hours. I work a job that normally requires 40+ hours a week, and come home to 9-12 credits a semester, three semesters a year. Weekends and evenings are filled with writing papers, taking tests, doing research, coding, and reading books. I don't subscribe to facebook, myspace, twitter, or any other social media BS, because I simply don't have time to care about what anyone else is doing - but I'm 33 and married - I gave up on socializing a long long time ago. Even still the endless routine is maddening sometimes. I can at least see the light at the end of the tunnel; basically 10 weeks of actual school left.
You can imagine though, that kids in their late teens and early twenties want to have a social life. I can certainly understand why they turn to this crap to get a touch of the life they wish they could have, and at least to a certain extent deserve to have.
Heh, I was thinking of the tank girl move from your post:
Jet Girl: You see, this tank isn't... isn't...
Tank Girl: What? Just one little adjective and we'll have a *whole* sentance. Isn't, glad, sad... mad... Lonely...
Jet Girl: Isn't... Operational.
No, I'm pretty sure I am human when I am happy to see someone who wishes to cause others harm kill themselves before they get the chance. Being enlightened before they decide to do it is a good choice too, but death works just as well.
People like you who try to empathize with evil people are no longer human. They are wrong. Period. They want to KILL people. KILL. OTHER. PEOPLE. Which one of those words don't you understand. I am HAPPY, THRILLED, ECSTATIC, that they did not get the chance. 10's, dozens, possibly hundreds of others get to live now. That brings me JOY. A tear to my eye. ELATION.
You can say what you want about the US government and its military, but we don't intentionally target civilians, we don't kill indiscriminately even people who may be on our side, etc. etc. There are accidents, friendly fire casualties, bad apples, and a lot of other bad shit that happens, but it is war and it is chaotic. We try our best not to harm the innocents or our own.
These monsters walk right into the biggest pile of innocent civilians they can find and detonate themselves.
So while people like you sit idly by and think of the children, there are some people who work hard to prevent it, and get a little joy when the enemy screws up. You're wrong, not them. Get off your pedestal.
that must have been on crappy focus. I have driven in these in a number of states and driving conditions as rental cars and none have been as bad as you say. But then I drive a 12 yr old saturn 4 banger at home so maybe im just used to sucky cars.
I know; but the act is commonly referred to as jailbreaking. Im also aware that as it's written it seems to only apply to phones, but that may not stop them from trying. It may not even be their defense; it may just be an attempt to compare it to a protected activity and ge people thinking whats the difference.... I just dont think it was worded that way by coincidence.
They put the word jailbreak in there. I forsee the defense attempting to use thebrecent decision by the the Library of Congress for jailbreaking under the DMCA. I was wondering if they would try this. I also wonder if it will work.
I wouldn't necessarily qualify all greed as evil behavior, but when it's on the scale of what bastard companies like Monsanto does to farmers who are not intentionally or willing infringing on anything they start crossing a line. Read up on them, and how farmers get caught up in this web, through no fault of their own. And then Monsanto sweeps in and sues them, destroys livelihoods, and in general acts EVIL. You couldn't have planned an evil conspiracy to amass a fortune much better than what's in their playbook. I'm not a farmer; not even close; don't even know anyone that lives on a farm; it in no way affects me personally, but I still know evil when I see it.
BP is probably a case of negligence, stupidity, greed, and may not cross into what you might consider evil, but I can at least see the case for arguing it.
Are there any wireless mice that don't lag so terribly when gaming as to be annoying? I use a wireless mouse all the time, but never on my desktop when gaming; it's the only place I notice it, but they do lag. Maybe it's just my old cruddy wireless mouse, but that has always been my experience; tossing everything across the room or in a closet seems nice until I consider how poor the experience would probably be.
I have to ask why they are playing games with dns rather than using some kind of LB solution to direct users to the closest server(s) based on the client ip address. Is this not feasible or is it cost prohibitive; the method theyre using seems crazy to me though i fully admit to not being up to speed on high level networking design.
You have heard of LDAP/Kerberos? They are at the heart of AD. You think maybe you can't do the same with OpenLDAP/389 DS/RHDS/name a Linux LDAP Server and MIT/Heimdal kerberos? If you don't know that your Domain Controller is listening on ports 389, 88, 749, 636 for a reason you, as a sysadmin, need to be shot out of a canon. As for system config management there are plenty of options, such as Puppet, Cfengine, etc. and to a lesser extent features provided by Satellite/Spacewalk and SuSE's Zen (not to be confused with Xen)
We maintain thousands of linux systems with these tools without less issues than any AD implementation I have ever seen; you need to get a clue before you open your mouth.
even at the point when you're doing development in school the school's often provide student MSDN accounts - and ever heard of Dream Spark? Free 2008 Server licenses, developer tools, etc....
He with the win741 promo's you can get windows pro as a student and as we speak for $65; I have seen it for ~$30 in the past. Office professional academic unfortunately is about $80 I think, which does still suck, although a lot of my professors have been accepting openoffice.org as an electronic format for hand ins; so potentially for $65 you can have that, go grab virtualbox, OO.o/LibreO, win server 2008, MS development tools, all for free and have a pretty outstanding windows playhouse... more of a Linux guy myself, but if you're so inclined there is no need to pirate...
Hard to say; dark, blurry video, with no commentary other than the groans of some mouth breather. All I know for certain is he owns a PS3 and a lighter.
"China has raised it standard of living in recent decades but..."
But maybe that's all a lot of the youth see. Maybe they're happy to be working in factories where they get to sit, albeit for 14 or 16 hour work days, instead of trudging around in a field for 14 or 16 hours a day. Add on top of that the fact that they can earn a comparatively decent paycheck compared to their parents still living in squallor on that farm, and maybe they just don't think it is so bad. Sooner or later this hard working, more informed, and hopefully better educated youth will create an even more enlightened generation and things will improve even more. Not every evolution requires a revolution. I have no problem with seeing civil war if it is warranted, but China seems to be on some track, whether fast or slow I can't say, to improvement... it's probably not warranted in this case.
Agreed. The biggest we've had to my knowledge is a 25 mt bomb - the B41. That's not small, but even a 15mt left people alive at 75 miles. http://www.is.wayne.edu/mnissani/PAGEPUB/CH2.html
I don't think a 25 would take out the world...
Any chance this is why the coffee for asthma remedy is supposedly effective? Perhaps inhaling the vapors for a bitter fluid are doing just what they described here?
fail. You're the guy that goes into a job interview, tells them you run linux 10.10, and wonders for 3 months more why you didn't get the job. Hopefully you're joking and know the difference between the kernel and a distribution.
Is it possible you were saving files with OO.o 2.x on any systems? ODF 2.x did not save some things in proper ODF format. One place I know you will see this particularly clear is saving a presentation on OO.o 2.x and then open it in 3.x; don't confuse odf versions with openoffice versions and oo.o 2.x not saving odf documents in compliant format; even the versions it was saving in were not correct and because of that 3.x would not render them correctly.

Army calls their people 'soldiers', Marines usually refer to theirs as 'warriors'.
It is generally a bad idea to call a Marine soldier. I know when I was in I would have taken serious offense to it. I can't tell you how Army feels about being called warriors, never interacted much with anyone but Navy and Marines.
This country is so egregiously fucked up it isn't funny. AT&T puts 114,000+ users info on the internet and that's OK. No investigation. Someone pulls it from their site and they get hunted down like a witch.
OK, so as a former enlisted Marine I can PROMISE you that you can be punished for acting or behaving poorly out of uniform. IANAL and it may not be conduct unbecoming but it's covered by probably 50 trillion other things including your strongest desire to not run until you die come monday morning.
Something as stupid as running into your Gunnery Sergeant out in town without a proper shave. Out of uniform. In civilian cloths. Yes. Hell to Pay. You have no freedom in the military. Your liberty is a gift. You have no right to it. They can and will tell you how to enjoy it. Where you can go, how you can dress, how you can behave. You signed the papers, you do what they say. End of the story.
