When these companies advertise their jobs they advertise what is their first prize. That includes a full-time employee. If you have a good skill set match then you can often negotiate to find some middle ground.
For example, I'm currently scoping out a position that says full time in city xxxx and I've told them I'm only prepared to telework from yyyy which is not even in the same country... and we're still talking and I expect to get an offer.
The moral of the sory is to treat the job ads as a starting point for discussion and take it from there.
Its even harder than just tracking it to the first NAT. Where I live anyway, most people will be behind a NAT. Some, like me, use a NAT behind a NAT (ie a local NAT for my local home network) and then have an AP in the mix too. Try figure out the real hardware in that lot.
Even if the ISP doing the first level NAT hold logs, what about the second level or the APs?
Sure it might be easy to prosecute a private home owner, but you're going to struggle when trying to prosecute someone with an "open" network or one with a trnaisent userbase (eg. coffee shop, motel etc).
Chirstchurch NZ has real time monitoring & update of bus traffic. At each bus stop there is a terminal telling you when the next bus will arrive and they are able to control buses far better to get improved passenger flow. Better passenger experience also means more bus usage which is also good for the old environment.
Well I was going for a funny by ripping off the old "does it run Linux" gag, but targetting being a bit edgy with everyone bitching about the iphone overhyping.
Edgy humor is always going to step on some toes so a few "fuck offs" is fully fine with me too since your feedback suggests I hit the mark.
If I gave you a pressure release valve in the process, thats great too.
It is far better to have the more experienced folk checking the contributions of others. This builds a broader base of contrubutors and the more seasoned folk get to ensure that the Good Stuff is getting in to the kernel/whatever.
Experience does count, and age is not a limitation. There's a myth that older people can't program. At 45 I reckon I can outprogram most youngsters, but it is probably more valuable to be mentoring others. I know a few very active programmers in their 60s and even 70s.
Old good programmers should not become managers unless they are actually better managers than programmers. Programming is not a science or an art, it is a blue-collar skilled trade. Knowledgable older programmers should be helping out the youngsters.
Still, the coupling mechanism is not the bottleneck. The true bottleneck is being able to access shared resources such as RAM. Withouth being able to do that Amdahl's Law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law is a killer.
Seriously folk, why should we listen to people on their death bed or to voices from beyond the grave? Do we really think that when people have nothing to lose or are dead they somehow get enlightened and honest?
There are a few reasons for going multi-chip. Different metalisation technologies are used for different chips. The way you build an RF chip is different to how you'd build a CPU, for instance.
Multiple chips also allow you to develop the chips seperately. Trying to shoehorn everything into one chip makes it very hard to build a product. Also, many of the functions (eg. the flash) are supplied by chip vendors. Apple will only be building chips that are critical to making the phone work. It is far cheaper to just buy in chips from elsewhere.
IE & Netscape: MS bought a browser and went further with it. They killed Netscape by giving away IE, not by IE being better.
Visual Studio vs Borland: VS was never better than Borland on a level playing field. MS only completed by being a bully.
My main point is that MS don't get their products Good Enough. MS get there by putting their effort into attacking the competition rather than by developing (or even offering) good products.
I think MS marketing is more Mafia tactics than anything technical.
Suppose you had 100 cleaners in your house. They'd all be tripping over each other and all unplugging eachother's vacuum cleaners to plug in their own. And all their minivans would cause a traffic jam in your driveway.
Pretty much the same with any multi-processor technology: shared resources like buses are the major limitation.
After extensive research we found that having the computer powered up was the source of all the security flaws. Don't blame MS - they don't make the power cords!
MS has the resources to actually generate amazingly good products and dominate on a level playing field.
Unfortunately they seem to be so obsessed with winning by FUDing and spinning that they end up making crap. This is a great disservice to the whole computer industry.
Having already got more that their money's worth, why the concern with its survivability? Surely the purpose of sending this explorer is to gather info. It has already gathered 10x the info that was planned for. Being conservative and tooling around on the flats is not as likely to give as much information as exploring the crater.... even if this is a one-way trip.
The lead-free solder actually has a higher mealting point.
It is however more brittle and is more prone to cracking or unbonding under thermal stress.

Having designed touch screen interfaces for more than 15 years now, I must say that the description of how a resistive touch screen works is pretty broken. These devices do not measure resistance nor current. They measure changing voltage.
That leads me to suspect that their description of how the iphone multitouch works is also broken too.
I didn't RTFA or RTFS, but if this is only for Windows users then you've long ago paid for this with your Windows purchase.
If not locked in to MS, then expect some sort of incentives of the form 500MB for everyone, 2GB for Vista systems. A nice low-cost bait to get people to buy a high price product.
Imagine a laptop case stuffed with these! You'd essentially have a scalable beowulf in a laptop. If you're only doing simple processing then you'd just have to fire up one or two. Gamimg or compiling: fire up more.
Better yet, you could buty the processing in modules and plug in as many as you need/can afford.

If you want real knowledge then nothing beats deep-ending on some particular area of interest: networking, drivers, file systems...
I'd rather have no lawyers than try figure out which are the black hat and white hat laywers.

If you put a rootkit in a liquid gel doesn't it sprout and form a whole plant?

There have been many descriptions of challenge/response protocols to prevent a reader being conned by a recorded message.
Ultimately any transaction comes down to trust at some point. The trick is to reduce the number of parties that you need to trust in the process.

Makes sense. It is surely fraudulent to make false claims.
