There's this cool new feature on computers now where you can save a file under a different name, then rename it back when you want to roll back. =) Don't tell me you really play around in httpd.conf without saving a copy! It takes all of 5 seconds!
for a while the Canadian RCMP had so many applicants to pick and chose from that you pretty well needed a bachelor's degree (and a minor in criminology was a good idea) to get into the training programme.
Seriously, if we weren't inundated with violins in the media, we might not have such a problem with violins in the schools. I'm not saying we should ban all musical instruments, but we need to stop glamorizing them.
Oh, what sad times are these when parents can say Ni at will to policemen. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.
Well, the story is scant on details/documentation of the state of the tree. They were apprehended for tearing off branches, not tree climbing. Now, if the tree is now bereft of branches (we can't assume it's not without more information), then the children got off lightly.
What is ironic is that the cop haters feel that the police did a disservice here, when the police have really done an outstanding job preparing a new generation to fear and hate the police.
OK, I'll buy that for a dollar. You've convinced me.
By the way, I've known a few math majors in my time. All were exceptionally bright. All had to take shit jobs immediately after college. Only one is dong something actually using higher math (last I heard). On the other hand, I never heard any of them expressing the least bit of regret about their choice of major.
That's a bare requirement for applying. Do you think all applicants get jobs? Let me know next time you are hiring.
Some further points:
1) The GS 7 grade almost always requires a year or more of graduate school. The lowest grade being advertised for is GS 7.
2) If you actually look at the job listings, they all say that there are few positions available.
I personally know one person who was hired to work at NASA out of college. He has an engineering degree. He also went to Stanford. His father works at JPL. I called him up and asked him about this, and he said, "While it's possible they'd hire someone with the bare minimum requirements, it's not very likely, and that's not even considering the budget cuts. A better question, though, is why would someone want to work at NASA."
So, I suppose if you're a math major with a four year degree from a prestigious university with family connections, you have a chance to be employed.
You're wrong. Part of the OLPC program is sustainability, so as the project scales up, there will be less and less subsidy involved. At some point the project will benefit from economies of scale and the goal of being able to make this laptop for $100 will happen.
Let's stop using the term "Third World". It's not very accurate or meaningful, and in certain cases is completely wrong, i.e., China is not and has never been a third world nation since we began using the term. "Third World" is a vestige of 20th Century geopolitics, where a nation was either aligned with the Western Bloc, aligned with the Communist Bloc, or non-aligned.
A better set of terms is "Developing Nation" and "Least Developed Nations". And even then, it's more useful to actually look at the infrastructure and capacities of a nation to understand what is going on. For example, the PRC doesn't need OLPC because they already have the high tech manufacturing infrastructure to build their own.
At any rate, what do you propose instead that would be a better solution to developing nations that want to advance technologically?
I didn't think of it when I wrote the post above, but I know a girl with six toes on each foot. I don't know if she has any performance gains from this. Perhaps she is more stable.
When you think about extra fingers and toes, you usually think about them connected to the "correct" appendage. But what would be even more interesting would be to have those extra fingers in other places. Alongside the ears, you could quickly avoid listening to things yo don't want to hear. Or imagine a finger somewhere on your face, giving you easy access to your nostrils when your hands are full. Four inches or so below your navel, and you'd never need to leave the house.
(only now the PC guy is wearing trendy clothes and has a new hair style)
But still looks like a dork. =)
The only thing funnier than a poseur (mac guy) would have to be a dork poseur. No, wait. Someone slipping on a banana peel and falling on their ass. That's funnier.
But if I grew a pair I'd have to get that looked at, because then I'd be a hermaphrodite, and that's not what I really want, so no thank you. And don't you dare put words in my mouth
If testicles don't suit you, you could always try and grow a pair of some other body part. Nipples, ears, arms, legs. Hell, you could grow a pair of noses! Wouldn't that freak people out! People would say, "Oh, look, here comes that Picasso girl."

Just be sure you don't do anything like divide by zero on Friday the Penteemth. It's bad luck.
Is "gender gap" the new euphemism for "axe-wound"?
I can't find a more detailed breakdown than the linked article to be sure, but it smells fishy.
Do girl geeks bathe even less than guy geeks? That might explain it.
Why is 69 better than 61?
You get 8 more
So, you're saying that Sony has managed to get root to my girlfriend's box? Damn! I knew we should have been using condoms!
Less so when it's an Apache config...

Doesn't upgrading your girlfriend to linux count as domestic abuse? Or at least provide a reasonable defense if she is charged with it?

It's the outfits. And the singing opportunities.

I don't think it means what you think it means.
Yes, yes, your boyfriend calls that little game "obtaining DNA samples at the airport", but the fist and the lube should have tipped you off.
Oh, what sad times are these when parents can say Ni at will to policemen. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.
Maybe they were crying because they had been "sucking it up".

"How do I build a website?"
"How do I find good employees?"
"What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

And if that pornstar was also into snowboarding, motocross, and skydiving, he could be called Xtremadura.
Thank God there is not a Nerd Union that would require one nerd per each install.
Keep in mind that Corey's method for arriving at $18/hour is totally asinine.

Well, the main difference is that you can teach Jenna Jameson to whistle.
In Soviet Russia, all our base belong to YOU!! (Naked and Petrified)
Perhaps he's made a conscious choice to do what his employer wants. If he or she were self-employed it might be a different matter.
