Clearly I would have liked Apple to let me CHOOSE. But I guess it's against their philosophy.
This is not a theoretical question for me. I still got a G3 "Firewire" powerbook and it's serving me well. I'm not happy at all that Apple is dropping support for it with Leopard.
I've tried the builtin browser and Opera on the N models. I'm sorry but 'The Web' doesn't look very good on the tiny 320x240 screen even with all the tricks like single column display. I have an Acer VGA PDA and browsing only becomes acceptable at 640x480.
Too bad college education didn't provide with reading comprehension. Hell, English is not my native language and even I got the point. He doesn't want his kids to become cogs in the machine, even college educated white-color. What good is your education and high salary if you never have a second to stop and think about your life and your family? The most important thing in life is your family and spending time with them. He seems to be on the right track, are you?
I don't get you people. Sony Ericsson high end Symbian UIQ smart phone P990 is over $700
WM 5.0 pda/phone combos with similar features but 240x320 screens are routenly over $500
Heck, I live in Russia and I believe it's a VERY FAIR price for any smartphone with such features yet alone an Apple phone.
I agree, I've too taken a jobs I wasn't fully qualified for, but I sure stayed till 11pm for the first month trying to catch up on stuff, not leave at 5:55. And when I decided to leave 2 years later my manager begged me to stay.
It was possible for an American slave to become prosperous even before the Civil War. Crime is in large part driven by appearance of unfairness, whether objective or subjective. Why should a poor person have to do several tours of duty in Iraq risking death or serious injury while someone born to to wealthy parents can coast through life living on interest?
How would a mugger know whether you are carrying a fat wallet of cash or just some cc#?
You could still be attacked, and if anything severely beateb for making the mugger lrave emptu handed.
I was born in the late 70's in "Soviet Russia" and is still living in "New Russia". The stuff I see happening in the States is quite comparable with what we experienced in the 70's and 80's (not under Stalin of course). Intelligence services becoming too powerful, warrantless survelance, secret trials, people disappear, not many but enough to spread the rumors, dissidents accused of being un-patriotic, dissedent scientists supressed, etc.
They could release the rabbits into the DMZ. Or even worse, they could unleash an army of giant rabbits across the border destroying it's neighbour's ecosystem. Truly a weapon of mass destruction!
Ditch digging is just one example, most menial, unskilled jobs are not as physically straining and they bare easier, you do the same thing every day and it's much harder to screw up.
I may have failed your witty joke, but PI is a dimensionless constant. Luckily it's independent of whatever crazy backwards system you people are using.
You could same the same about dozens of "recognized" nations around the world. They exist as sovereign entities as long as they sit quietly in the corner and don't bother the big guys.
I hope the time when software developers are treated as engineers never comes. A license required to use a compiler and write some free software? NO WAY!
So what is the moral of this story? You got a new job with a pay increase and a new friendlier manager? Did you call the old one and thanked him for pushing you to make an importnat change in your life?
He was saying that there are others (surprise) well paying and intellectually stimulating places of employment and it doesn't take 5 in-person interviews to get them. It's not Google vs the rest of the world, and your company better offer something really exceptional for the pleasure of "testing my competence". And, really I'm baffled still, I've conducted interviews myself, and it takes at most 2 hours to figure out if a person is competent or faking.
Thanks for a long list. But if they have any credible doubt they should present it in peer-reviews journals, not in popular media.
Observational evidence does not support today's computer climate models, so there is little reason to trust model predictions of the future. Yet this is precisely what the United Nations did in creating and promoting Kyoto and still does in the alarmist forecasts on which Canada's climate policies are based. Even if the climate models were realistic, the environmental impact of Canada delaying implementation of Kyoto or other greenhouse-gas reduction schemes, pending completion of consultations, would be insignificant. Directing your government to convene balanced, open hearings as soon as possible would be a most prudent and responsible course of action.
Thus is NOT true and if they have authentic NEW information, they are most wellcome to present it to scientific public. Instead they call for political debate. Actually, I read the whole thing and it's full of long refuted denialist claims. No wonder they chose to stay away from scientific community and instead present this garbage to the politicians.
I'm curious, is it possible to move up (or down) after you have been mandatorily assigned (I presume after a test of some kind) to a particular caste (I mean type of school)?
Seems kind of scary that a childs future is determined at the age of 12.
And why do we need to ensure (meaning spending taxpayers money) to make sure that everyone grows to their "full potential"? I personally don't care if someone their is so fucked up they cant teach themselves to read in their spare time. More cheap labour to serve me and less potential competition for me.

That amazing thing is called DHCP, and surprise! it works in Windows too!

And what is the screen resolution of your nokia phone? Browsing in single column mode on your microscope?

God forbid someone might enjoy unspoilt nature and nice people you can be life friends over amphetamine crazy ravers in the Mission.
And get sued for discrimination on his sexual orientation?

Yes, but wouldn't spending on bombs also increase demand for houses in foreign countries? Isn't the net result positive?
