Why don't people use the web for this sort of thing? Frankly, I don't know if something like this exists:
A website that lists a job, where it is, all of the benefits, and what a person needs to be qualified. The same site has individuals, where they live, etc, etc.
Maybe a comments section, both for jobs and for individuals. No anonymous postings, given how reputations can be destroyed on a site like that.
The once concern is a gamma ray burst enveloping the start system, eradicating all life. If we manage to leave the system prior to that happening, humanity could potentially survive indefinitely.
(Lost all my mod points in The Great War, so I'll post instead...)
People have to earn a buck to live in a capitalist system.
Some people whore themselves out as booth babes. Other people whore themselves out as hired lawyers by Microsoft.
I'm sure they wish they had better jobs. I'm sure they didn't think when they were 14 years old, "When I drop out of high school I wanna be a booth babe!". Something bad happened in these people's lives where "Booth Babe" is what they had to do to make ends meet.
How do I know this? How many of these girls are independently wealthy and just doing it for kicks? None. They do it to put food on their tables for themselves (and for some as the sole breadwinner of the household).
Treat them humanely.
Treat them with the respect.
They are individuals trying to earn an honest living instead of being leaches to society by just collecting welfare or engaging in prostitution.
In short, don't fret. This is the 1% fucking with the 1%. I approve of this.
Actually, it's much worse than that:
This is the 0.1% fucking the rest of the 1%. And that I do have problems with. Was with a friend on Friday morning who makes enough to be in the top 1% (I think that refers to >$370K or so). He didn't quite have enough in investments in order to get in on the FB IPO. So we watched it in real time, from the delayed opening to a couple hour into trading.
The following morning he was so glad he didn't have the amount necessary to be in the IPO.
(His investment bank's website said he needed to have half a million in investments with them to get in on the action. He was under the line by ~$50K).
I know what everyone is saying about how the $38 share price was perfectly picked as the correct valuation of the company, but (and I am not a financial expert) what does this mean to the people who bought in on Friday? With no major share price movement they are left with a bunch of stock certificates and all their money in the hands of FB. How does this become a worthwhile investment for them? They can't expect to get money back through increased share price, so they are going to have to rely on a dividend for returns. Is there any expectation that there will be a decent dividend?
My guess is that long term investors would look towards companies that have been on the stock market more than a single day.
Short term speculators can buy and sell the same shares 50 times a minute if they want. Who cares what it does in a day. That's like eons for those people.
I see him at work everyday. Last week he mentioned how he had watched a movie on it that I had put on my system just a week earlier. (I set his system up to rsync my video collection every night. That way he gets more free videos and I get an off-sight backup for free.:)
As for Control4, it's great when I want to pipe a radio station to various rooms, and things like that.
But editing a playlist of my home mp3 collection just sucks. Hopefully they'll update the software or I find a better way of doing it (like dedicating an iPod to it).
It has thermostats which can be programmed, whole-house audio that can be adjusted on a per-room basis, control of by ADT security system, and control of a couple lights.
I don't see anything else that really matters. And I agree about the lights. More of a novelty than anything else. I set them up to turn on and off when I'm on vacation, but I could have done the same thing with a couple $5 outlet timers.
Not cheap, by the way. I used Control4, if it makes a difference.
Let me count in mine: 2 iPhones 1 iPad 2 HTPCs running OpenElec (Linux) 1 MacBook 1 Desktop (Ubuntu 10.04)
So: 3 iOS 1 Mac OS X 3 Linux
More telling: My neighbor wanted me to set up a HTPC after he saw mine in action. It's running OpenElec (Linux). I installed it 5 months ago and he hasn't called for tech support since.
I was just thinking this on the drive into work today.
Would be nice to listen to the same radio station all the way, but reception cuts out half way up. My car is new enough to have an iPod interface, but new enough to not support an iPhone or similar device with in-dashboard controls.
A newer interface would allow me to stream a radio station through my phone (and maybe use google maps from the phone) via the car controls.
How about an API that allows this to be done with any phone via USB? No need for locking.
And (obviously???) no critical systems controlled by the phone.
Why deorbit? Sell the materials to NASA, for collection in Earth orbit. Or smelt it there and build your next planet hopper in orbit, selling the hopper to the highest bidder.
You don't have to build the entire thing in orbit, either. Just the high-mass (sturdy) parts. NASA can then buy that and ship the delicate parts up from Earth.
I think that what you're trying to say is that the chronic ingestion of carbonated drinks changes our perception of dehydration: That when we become dehydrated we become hungry rather than thirsty.
It's an interesting idea that's been studied in small mammal models but is difficult to study in humans.
100% agree with this. If you have the money now, get 3 3TB drives. One internal on your main computer, and 2 external. get all three synced with your data. Then put one of the external drives in a friend's/parent's house. A few times a year resync all the drives. (bonus points if you're using rsync over ssh over the internet to get to the drive in your friend's/parent's house.)
And here's the important part: Throw away all the old drives.

Not that I don't like your idea, but it's one step closer to easy spoofing. At least I know what to expect with citibank.com.
Here's a thought:
The first phones with "Intel Inside" advertising do better because of the added brand recognition.
Then people get these phones and realize they run hot, have shortened battery life, or need active cooling (fans).
Intel Inside then becomes something to avoid in the phone market, weakening the brand.
Hardware looks nice.
Anyone use one of these (or similar) as a cheap NAS device? (With external hard drives via USB.)

You and I? Dead within a hundred years.

Where's the +6 modifier when you need it?
If you go with one provider to support Internet for the whole building, you're locked in.
Getting each apartment wired and then just letting the ISPs fight it out in the basement closet where the patch cables terminate is much safer.
You do NOT want to run your own severs in the basement.
You MAY want to mandate that individual apartments not have dish antennas sticking out their windows.

FB stock IPO wasn't for the masses.
LOL.
Can imagine someone getting the screen and seeing black bars on the two sides to fix the aspect ratio.
Everyone (well, every dev at least) wants more vertical real estate.
Can't someone make up a laptop with a screen that can rotate 90 degrees?
Imagine a 9:16 screen to write on. Screw devs, that would sell to anyone that has to write on the road.
Err... Not in this case.

Just built a "smart home".
It has thermostats which can be programmed, whole-house audio that can be adjusted on a per-room basis, control of by ADT security system, and control of a couple lights.

Maybe, but part of the excitement of Raspberry Pi is that you can hook it up to a TV via HDMI and get either a cheap media center box or computer.
Not just that, but this is a double sided board. Making any installation thicker than a Rasp. Pi.
I don't see why they can't just make a true bare bone board at a very low price point.
Nevermind. No profit margins on a $5 board.

This certainly more than makes up for Adobe pulling Flash support from Linux.
(Fingers crossed that this sees the light of day...)

Absolutely good work on their priorities.
Let India get technology for balistic flights, nuclear weapons, and (hopefully) set up a permanent colony on the moon.
Knowledge should be shared, and India is a relatively stable democracy. Why not them?
(If they spent all their money feeding the poor, they wouldn't have a major worldwide tech center in Bangalore.)
Pakistan is close to being a failed state.
India, on the other hand, is the world's largest democracy.
How does this effect ssh?
I've got a few systems running older distributions or custom distributions with little or no support that I ssh into.
One of them (http://www.readynas.com/?cat=3) has ssh exposed to the internet (not on port 22, but still...).
Is this something I need to worry about?
(Sorry in advance for my lack of specific geekdom to figure out the answer to this myself.)
