Google-y is defined as somebody who is fairly flexible, You'll be working long hours. Weekends, possibly holidays...
adaptable Management will shuffle you around as it sees fit
and not focusing on titles and hierarchy, Promotion?! Haha! Here's a compromise: you're getting a new boss.
and just gets stuff done. Get to work and stop asking questions!
But it's Google, so we know better. Or do we? Seriously, which side are we taking today?
Be careful using a calculator that performs all the mathematics you're being taught in high school. If your teachers allow you to use calculators on exams, you can easily pass your classes without learning much at all. This will certainly come back to haunt you in college if you pursue a science/math/engineering degree.
That said, I recommend you buy the TI-89 and use its calculus functions sparingly while learning the subject.

The down-side is he subscribed to XM ENTERTAINMENT's porn newsletter.
Don't worry, I just got him back big time! I subscribed you to about a dozen porn newsletters. He'll be completely inundated with porn spam in no time! No need to thank me, helping other people is its own reward.
>>Many people will not own up to this but the reality is most people would like to hear a female on the end of the phone as well.
>Hah! My first job out of college was tech support. And I forget how many people (women in particular) asked to be connected to a "real" technician. I even had one guy tell me he wasted his time talking to a woman.....
No no no. I think what he meant is, at Slashdot, we just want to hear a female on the other end of the phone occasionally. Cause, you know, it would be nice... talking to a female... over the phone.
Notice how in Afghanistan, that makes him one rich dude!
According to the most recent report, the average Afghani's earns $2,400 per year. That makes him one middle-class Afghani dude.
To whomever who modded my post as flamebait (and those who modded the original poster up), you baffle my mind. While we can admire this man for his ideals and ingenuity, we can't really use him as a model of financial success, even by Afghani standards.
As long as Nintendo wants to make games for a younger audience, offline games should be okay. Kids can amuse themselves with
For the gamer who enjoys true competition and high replay value, however, there is no substitute for the online experience. Starcraft, Counterstrike, Doom III, etc., are examples of this. Other types of online games, such as MMORPGs, allow for a dynamic and social feel that no offline game can authentically replicate.
On the other hand, a well-made online game tends to have a huge replay lifespan. Perhaps that is why Nintendo is hestitant to embrace them?
Windows will become more secure if Microsoft stops issuing patches?
The really scary part is that this wasn't said by some marketing guy like Gates or Ballmer, it was said by the Microsoft Security Chief.
Actually that was said by ChaoticChaos. According to the article, Mr. Aucsmith urged companies to keep up with patches because the time they had to react before hackers released exploits was shrinking.
What is this, a game of telephone? The further into the thread we go, the more wildly inaccurate the posts have become.
Well, in that case, Bill Gates recently declared "The world is flat. The sky is green. Earth is the center of the universe." That's right. Mod me up, baby!
A 20-year-old man dies in a Garden Grove parking lot after having a screwdriver smashed through his skull. That's scary. My friend gets followed in his car from a cafe and shot at a traffic light. That's scary.
In these cafes, you have a junior high school students sitting across from gang members. The customers have shown they cannot regulate themselves, the businesses have refused to regulate them, so, unfortunately, it has become the government's task.
Besides, if privacy is the foremost concern in your mind (more important than say, the lives of children), just go somewhere other than a public internet cafe. The choice is yours.
I had the chance to try it out at NAMM and it is VERY difficult to get it to "sing."
It is VERY difficult for someone to pick up a guitar for the first time and start shredding. It's VERY difficult for a newborn child to start crooning a romantic ballad in the delivery room. Like any instrument, it probably takes serious time to learn. And by serious time I mean more time than people were given to fiddle with it at NAMM.
Ah, the good old days. But seriously, if people strongly felt that the annoyances caused by cell phones outweighed the benefits, I doubt they would be such a ubiquitous technology today. As far as your perception of increasing stress, check out this article. It's about a recent study which found that "the [primitave] Mangyan way of life produces the same types of stress that modern technological living does - only more so."
My guess is that it's probably intentional. Stir up conversation about it to increase awareness of the subscription features, and gain some new recruits along the way.
Correct, that isn't an SAT math question, but that wasn't the point either. It was simply that advanced math concepts aren't necessarily required to test for advanced math ability.
Is the SAT a perfect implementation of this? Unfortunately not, but it adhere to this general idea.
Again regarding Gauss, that's a safe assumption that he had learned more. In fact, the teacher began tutoring him privately and buying him the best textbooks available at the time. But for this very reason, more advanced math can't be used. While many students are given the opportunity to excel, others are held back by circumstance. This could only widen the gulf between the scores of privledged and underprivledged students even further.
The SAT only tests really basic math skills. I don't think this is a valid measure of someone's abilities.... Yeah, they tested some basic skills that I needed in college, but they we not testing my potential. They weren't even testing if I had the skillset necessary to succeed.
This is quite valid as a measure of someone's intellectual abilities. Given a basic set of skills, what can the individual accomplish using these skills? If the test included more advanced mathematical topics, such as calculus, students who lacked the opportunity of an accelerated course program would be severly handicapped. Knowledge would then be tested, rather than ability. And someone's knowledge, at this young age, is often governed by external factors, and thus not a good measure of potential. Would you rather have a student who can solve challenging problems using only basic math, or one who can't but already knows some basic calculus which will come in handy in college?
An good example is the story of young Carl Gauss. As the story goes, his elementary school teacher gave the children this arithmetic assignment in an attempt to keep them busy: sum the integers from 1 to 100. While his classmates were toiling away, Gauss quickly discovered:
1 + 2 + 3... + 49 + 50
+ 100 + 99 + 98... + 52 + 51
= 101 + 101 + 101... + 101
= 50*101
Gauss would later go on to obtain the more advanced math skill sets, but by this point his brilliance had already been noted.

Digital Color
10 x 20.8"

Both offered for $63,599. Anybody know why one would choose a grayscale screen over a color screen offered at the same price?
