we had illegal immigrants apply for work with us, with some damn fine fake work documents.
our employee leasing company however, is very anal, and informed us within 12 days of hire that they were not legitimate authorizations..
they were not paid.
they were told, before punching in, that if the documents had any issue, they would not be paid.
the hours are logged with the employee leasing company, and the (ex)employees have been invited to pick up their paycheck any time they can provide valid work authorization that covers the dates in question..
illegal on our part? I don't think so, we paid the leasing company, and they paid quarterly taxes.. the payment to the individuals is still sitting on the bottom of our payroll statement each month...
I'm into panoramic photography, and always wondered, how involved would it be to mount a fisheye lens to a video camera mounted on the front left corner of a car hood, and drive up and down each street of a city (both directions) including all alleys, connected to a REALLY GOOD gps system, then have a QTVR composite that lets me manovuer at will through the city, up down/back right, turn, spin... I could have a map of a town, pick any street and orientation as a start point, and then just turn and advance- and the video would be of my 'location' as chosen...
what kind of database/live edit system would it take to combine all that video to make transitions around corners smooth at the point where the video lines crossed on perpendicular streets?
I can do more with computers *(mostly windows systems)* than anyone I know in person..
They all blather-- family/coworkers/whoever can sucker me in--- [I]oh, you could be making XXXXXXXXX$ in computers...[/I] I know it ain't gonna happen, and the fact that I'm ahead of 99% of my local area does not make me qualified to 'boom out the next.com' billion, and it ain't gonna happen.

if you must keep complete spares for 5% of the trains, and it turns out 100% of a fleet of 50 have brake pad defects, you can repair exactly 2.5 trains-- not enough to run a full schedule when you normally have 50
if normal # of trains is 10, then you have enough spares for less than one train, which may have DOZENS of brake pads.....
design defects (like automobile recalls) can affect an ENTIRE FLEET AT ONCE, when stores of non-defective parts are few.
Latly, if it turns out that the DESIGN was bad, having a million spares doesn't do you a damn bit of good....
Unless I'm mistaken, all set top boxes that can record as they go- can't fit nearly the same length of video on a DVD as a PC can that encodes after the fact, for the simple reason that they can't pick the VBR

I'd rather have 2 hours & 10 mins of DVD that took 2-4 to encode, than 60 minutes recorded in real time...

Not tie up the serving pc from being used locally?

understand, your experience is not comprehensive.
ever heard of the term "golden parachute"?
ever heard of an executive getting the ax, and getting a huge payment "In lieu of separation"?

Daniel Keys Moran and H. Beam Piper (Piper is kinda for juveniles)
Never have I felt such a momment of wonder and expectation from a book, as when I turned the page and read a chapter title, and it was "deadline"
and that wouldn't affect ANYTHING down here on the surface right?
method 1 involves an ice pick
method 2 involves a pair of needle nose pliers
method 3 requires a very! bright light source
method 4 requires a lot of suction
all methods above also require a small degree of imagination
IS he there?
A cite please?
There has been amazingly little coverage of him as an individual since the date of his capture.
Find a news story that talks about him in the present tense please.

make enough compelling NON-pvp content,
and the load on the PVP will go down.
both small, tight, impossible to read assembly, and well commented, reusable, understandable code have uses in computing.
there was a time, video memory was thought of in terms of LPT- less than a K
you don't need HEAVILY built up code for every single thing..
take your pick

Oh, I thought the original poster said we should be able to save his high score to the key..
wait--- that is what it says....
does having your high score enable you to start elsewhere?
