How bad-ass must one be to withstand concerted hack attempts by the NSA? I'd think that would look really, really impressive on a resume. Especially for someone applying for a.gov job!
That's an important distinction that we're not making a big enough point out of.
There are a lot of programmers and techs here saying exactly what I would. However, there are a number of other positions that would pay more for someone with a masters, or even require it.
I'm all for protecting the border and trying to stem the flood of illegal immigration, drugs, etc.
However, I don't think it's fair to compare our border with Mexico to the Israeli-Palestinian border. We're considerably less hostile with each other, and I don't buy the terrorist influx argument on any scale I've had pitched to me in the media.
The first is that the number of diagnosed and treated cases of RLS has gone up significantly since advertising campaigns began. The other is that RLS is diagnosed when it shouldn't be.
It's quite possible that RLS was historically written off as blanket "sleeplessness" before. Now we're able to identify and treat it. This would be the result of a completely normal and legitimate evolution in our ability to practice medicine, not necessarily the result of us fabricating some "designer disease". Otherwise, at one time you could make identical arguments about any common affliction, claiming it's really just bad spirits, not some made-up disease.
It's ALSO quite possible that too many people are diagnosed with RLS that don't have it. Or not. The important part is that they're two different statements, and that difference is whether or not you can infer a massive conspiracy.
This is kindof like that no-aliens argument. The question remains, where Dude Where's My Car should be completely doable for YouTubers, why don't we see lots of those?
The purpose of copyright isn't to enrich the creator and his heirs, it's to encourage the creator to create more.
I'm confused. Isn't the point exactly to help enrich the creator, thus encouraging creation in the first place? There's less incentive to create if someone else will just profit from it freely... right?

The video says they tried to use spot cleaner thinking it was air freshener and then everyone got sick.

I've always used the short expression, "Most people make the company money. IT costs the company money."
Of course this is the short-sighted view.
Sure, it very much depends on what you do and where... something nobody is really talking about.
This is right on, for programming jobs, anyway.

It used to be the case that, at least with Windows, the license followed the machine on systems with OEM installs. Has that changed?

You're confusing two different discussions.
The first is that the number of diagnosed and treated cases of RLS has gone up significantly since advertising campaigns began. The other is that RLS is diagnosed when it shouldn't be.
It's quite possible that RLS was historically written off as blanket "sleeplessness" before. Now we're able to identify and treat it.

Holy crap you're like Steve Irwin and Crocodile Dundee all rolled into one super-badass.
I'd scream like a 13 year old girl if I saw one of those damned things in my home.
I would wager that they're out of money.

Or bomb the Baldwins and we'll call it even.
Agreed. I'm really quite embarrassed that my country would actually criticize another regarding their copyright law and enforcement.
Alert. Unafraid citizen. Sanitize... SANITIZE!

At least /. will be unfazed.
And the process of catching it is more fun.
The situation has actually been even worse...

They're not protecting their customers, the buyers were not Dell customers.
They were protecting their distribution channel, the means by which they control the selling conditions (read: price) of their equipment.
It just turns out that Tiger Direct is more disgusting than Dell.
Silly citizen, that only happens in the movies.
Your point is the same as mine.
Reading comprehension FTW, fuckwit.
Here's where everyone neglects the fact that Geoshitties was a huge lead-up to the blog.
People with no interest in html, css, hosting, dns, etc. want to brain-dump on the intarwebs too. Geocities did it first, now you go start a blog.
AWWW... I forgot about that! [nostalgia sets in]
I cut my teeth on html using Geoshitties, 'round 97. What a mess, but god bless the free tinkering space.
Yeah, I was trying to forget it.
THANKS A LOT.
Guilty until proven innocent. Yikes.
Will the new prank be to embed 5x5 iframes in everything, like an awful sort of rickroll?
