It's a simple theory. He who can be traced to who can't pass the investigation onto the next person in the chain must be the culprit. At McDonald's, you have to buy something to get access, and that means walking in front of the security camera at a minimum, and possibly even leaving a traceable credit card number.
All forms of untraceable internet usage have lead to trouble. Come on people, secure your networks.
Seeing that we've established that this was OpenNet which uses public-available systems and in this case that means Exchange, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that as we're approaching the end of the error.. er.. era of the Bush admin there would be an uptick in "Goodbye, here's where to reach me" mails to entire address books? From there, it'd take no time to hit the hard limits in Exchange for file storage... talk about ungraceful failures that we've known about for years. (Wait, that's another Bush reference!)
Publicity-starved WZMY Derry-Boston (MyTV affil) shut down their analog signal on 50 on Dec. 1 to what seems to be no ill effects. They ran their station in "nightlight mode" (Lowering power with a loop saying to effect "This used to be the analog signal of WZMY Derry... we've moved to digital."
WFXT Boston met a little less happier fate. Their analog transmitter had been malfuctioning, and in Mid-December they gave up on it. With two months then to redeploy, the bean counters just wouldn't go with a project to revive the analog signal, so they're all-digital ready or not.
Some stations are set to receive upgrades when the analog services go away. For example, WHDH-DT is off in UHF neverland, but once the analog WHDH 7 goes away, WHDH-DT gets the 7 slot not just on the logical dial, but also the physical frequency space.
Wasn't the whole point of outsourcing data-ops to "the cloud" was so that the same hardware and network could be serving football video streams one day, and taking in business (or going-out-of-business) paperwork the next?
UI pays if the corp folds. If you're laid off from your day job but still have a corp, you're not unemployed yet. Look into folding your corp if it was really just a hobby... or double-down and spend all the time with your project. That's what I did with mine. (Then again, I'm not unemployed at the moment.)
True, but they don't insist a computer programmer look at Burger King and they don't really expect Burger King to take them either. You have to accept the first offer you get, but there's nobody blindly throwing offers around to get people off of unemployment.
So, the moral is not to apply to anything you wouldn't want to end up getting and ending your time on unemployment... but there's plenty of "well, that'll never get looked at" bins on monster.com to satisfy most states.
Think of it as the football quarterback about to be pulled down for a loss of 3 on 4th and long. You can either be a man and take the hit, or throw the ball to nobody... costing you five yards and the ball still goes over to the other team after a call of intentional grounding.
Pride is nothing... take the unemployment money. It's your tax dollars for the situation you found yourself in.
Sure, unemployment is meant to be confusing and hard to get to. They set time limits on when you can log on not because their servers can't take it, but because they want you awake for a few minutes during those hours and proving you're in the state you belong in. Anything to get you disqualified...
But, the average human can beat that system and cash with about half the pay they had before, all for the only work being looking for a job like the one you left... not something you weren't going to do. And you've got the time for the paperwork. So take the money.
Don't you think it would be easier if the IRS/State data plus a new required e-form from the employer were in place so that the state unemployment people could start the claim immediately if the company does not contest, and send the claimant their paperwork if there's going to be a showdown.
IANAL... but it might be worth folding your company so you can get on the unemployment rolls. You could then start another with golden credit if you're able to pay off any loan you-as-the-company has taken.
Yep, but it deserves to be covered so that everybody hears it. It's not just a laugh at Microsoft story, but also a lesson to aspiring programmers to watch there step when it comes to timekeeping. Gotta get a mention to the people who look at/. at work, gotta get a mention to the people who visit weeknights, gotta mention it for the weekend crowd.
1900 - multiple of 100, not a multiple of 400, no leap day. 2000 - was a multiple of 100, but also a multiple of 400 so we still had a leap day. 2100 - see above 2200 - not a multiple of 400, no leap day. 2300 - not a multiple of 400, no leap day 2400 - multiple of 400, so have the leap day anyway.
Just before anybody claims to have a foolproof solution to leap years, make sure you test against the year 2100. It's a multiple of four, but also a multiple of 100 that's not a multiple of 400... and therefore NOT a leap year.
"AT&T's "2G" network was the pre-GSM TDMA network. The iPhone works on the 3G GSM network.
You drank the cool-aid. Apple released a 2G iPhone less than 2 years ago, and replaced it with a 3G model less than a year ago. So, there's still users with the old model under contract who can't upgrade without paying a penalty fee.
The cell phone coverage maps viewed at a national scale are virtually indistinguishable. They all work everywhere in densely populated territory, and only near a highway in rural areas. All the providers refuse to build towers in areas where they can't get enough customers to make money off of them.
2G data is on its way to retirement in the same way analog service bit the dust... you have to shut down the old protocol to support more users on the new protocol.

No, this is more like a free ride when you already paid.

Nope, no plans that I know of for Al in HD. He's just yelling "Let's go digital!"... not "Let's go HD!". 480i for him.
There will be zero "low VHF" (2-6) stations left after the cutoff... that's the 700mHz space that recently went up for auction.

Why hasn't this been implemented yet?

1. Economy Tanks
2. Banks Fail
3. People lose jobs
4. People get unemployment checks
5. People take checks to banks.
7. Economy Tanks
8. Banks Fail...

Rule of thumb I've found... every good job I've gotten I came in through an e-submit. Every rotten job I came in through the mail.

At least it doesn't have to suck.
My parents were good to me, they adjusted the 25-cents a tooth they got for inflation... wonder what I'll have to pay my kids?
Sure you didn't mean 2001? We seemed to started going downhill in late January of that year.
Okay, tell the programming instructors that there's no need to teach Hello World examples, because there's already code that does that.

Here's your 500 year plan:
1900 - multiple of 100, not a multiple of 400, no leap day.
2000 - was a multiple of 100, but also a multiple of 400 so we still had a leap day.
2100 - see above
2200 - not a multiple of 400, no leap day.
2300 - not a multiple of 400, no leap day
2400 - multiple of 400, so have the leap day anyway.
