Where you all get together and let someone from marketing do some face painting on you or play silly kindergarten games.
If senior management only looks for people that can play silly games, and don't have the ability to identify real talents that make their company work.... well that company is going to be pretty fucked.
I live more than is easy to drive every day, which is my primary reason to telecommute. Other reasons: better lifestyle. Less interruption and cube noise means better productivity, which means I look worthy of promotiion. Phones & internet keep me as well connected as I need to be. I have an easy excuse to duck out of meetings I want to avoid. I can conf call in and still do something useful, or maybe sit in the sun while the rest of the participants sit in a stuffy room.
Before looking for a communist under every bush, consider that there are quite a few things to get right to get BT working. A BT driver depends on other drivers (eg often serial drivers) and slight changes in the realtime behaviour of drivers can cause link errors which cause corruptions and retires etc and ultimately reduce BT throughput. Extra interrupts etc in the system can easily cause BT errors.
Having also grown up around guns and having been in the army, I have to agree with your sentiments about gun operator responsibility. We're abdicating some responsibility here (to the assistant), but we do that every time we let a bus driver drive our kids to school or whatever.
The shooting, if it happens, is only a small part of hunting. If a blind person has trudged through the woods, been bitten by bugs, etc etc then they've done the hard yards regardless of whether they pull the trigger or not.
Personally, I'd have more of an issue with wheelchar bound people shooting penned up game from a vehicle since that would really defeat the purpose of hunting.
This whole business will surely undergo mutual self destruction.
While paying for refered clicks props up some very useful services (Google, probably + various artful collections of 18+ girls), most organisations that advertise this way are not really adding value. The spyware companies are not adding value either, but are just feasting on greed.
I say let them all just get on with it and rip eachothers throats out.
FAT is about the worst possible flash file system. Its only redeeming feature is that it can be plugged into Windows boxes, and its level of interoperability with existing kit.
FAT is both unreliable and slow. Most **real** FFS are log structured which gives them better performance and robustness than FAT.
Drown the competition. Kill the baby. Let the competition burn out.
They've done this WindowsCE, to some degree of success. SinCE WinCE started, approx 7 years ago, they've been making a huge loss -- spending far more than the revenue form WInCE licenses. Other players actually have to live off their revenues, so they tend to pass out from hunger.
They've done this with IE. Now they're trying to do this to Google.
It is not the amount of work that causes burnout, but the fitting of the person to the role they are performing. Make bad fits and the people get frustrated and burn out easier. Make good fits and the creative energy flows.
Correlation. That's how GPS works, for instance. GPS signals are way weaker than the noise they are embedded in. However, if you know the pattern (as you do with GPS) then you can tease the signal out of the noise.
If you don't (as with space), then you need to make some guesses and do a whole lot more searching with a lot more patterns to find a match. That's no doubt where BigIron comes into the equation.
1) People run insecure machines. 2) People leave computers on. 3) People leve them coennected to the internet.
Break any of these three links in the chain and you'll fix bot netting. (1) is impossible, given V1.00-beta humanity. But surely, (2) and (3) are pretty easy to achieve. For Joe Sixpack, there is no benefit in keeping a PC running 24/7, except that it helps contribute to the power bill and rolling blackouts.
Servers, of course, are a different matter but they are [hopefully] better administrated.
If you've done any bathtub science, you'll know that the vortex spins the other way in the Southern Hemisphere. If you cross the equator, all the bits flip from one to zero and zero to one.
This will severly damage your pron collection because it will flip the picture around, so instead of seeing a nice full-frontal, you'll only see a butt & back.
All your music will run backwards and, if the Christian groups are right, will just turn into a whole lot of satanic chanting.
One place it will help though is changing your overdraft into a positive bank balance.
When you have too much information, it becomes data. The meaning is lost and you are no longer informed by it. To find what you want, you need a searchg engine. No doubt, Google is considering what search requirements an ipod-like device will need when these devices get too big to navigate using current methods.
Moore's Law can be ridden both ways. The most common way is to write bloaty code and develop bloaty systems because memory & CPU keep increasing so you can get away with it. The factor that is considered less often is that Moore's Law also goes in the other direction too. You can now get 32-bit micros with onboard flash, arm, usarts etc for less than a dollar and 8-bit devices for less than 50c. This puts micros into cheap, low-end consumer products like hair driers etc.
There's a myth, perhaps true, that Henry Ford once visited a repair shop or junk yard and asked if there was some Ford part that never broke. He then instructed that these parts should be redesigned because obviously too muchmaterial/cost was going into that part.
Design to cost is all very well, but you need to understand what your customers value. For instance, redesigning a safety feature so that it failed on occasion might not be a good idea.

Personally the thought of little Redmondiods running around BSODing is very disturbing.

They're the ones with real news value.
Linux on an embedded system configured for fast booting(without plug and play peripherals etc) can boot in 2 seconds or so.

This is an unppleasant reality that politicains don't want to raise because they'll get kicked out.
If this pattern matching software actually worked, people would use it for some purpose that makes wads of cash.... like the stock market.

Make a new one and when the balance starts looking ugly, throw it away and make a fresh new shiny one!
