Thank you for the chart. It does indeed prove my point that the Euro was strongest against the dollar 5 years ago, and the USD has been trending up ever since.
Yeah, it would be 13 325 000 dollars because your currency is going downhill everyday.
Ah, yes. Disinformation is so funny. What's even more funny is how the Euro was the strongest against the dollar 5 years ago, and ever since that time, the Euro has been losing ground against the dollar.
So Rosa Parks deserved to be punished?
Breaking an unjust law to call attention to it doesn't alleviate the consequences of it. Despite what the history textbooks say, Ms. Parks was not just a random black woman who decided to make a stand. She was carefully groomed, the act was carefully planned and timed, and she was more than aware of what the consequences could be. She was likely prepared to end up a martyr. As luck would have it, she didn't have to.
If he'd picked up the phone and called the lab, they'd have changed their password, and not the procedures that had someone discuss the password in front of a patient that simply had to not go "LALALLALALLA" while overhearing the conversation.
Of course they would not have changed the procedure, because the procedure undoubtedly already forbids it. The only thing they can do is punish the employee, if they know who it is and change the password.
the "hackers" crossed the line in their efforts to "expose" the bad security,
Bad Security? An employee of the lab was overheard speaking the information. They could have the best security in the world, and all it takes is one idiot employee to ruin it.
Most of use will get the first available HD rip and watch it in the comfort of our homes for the sake of curiosity, without the guilt associated with giving such a horrible franchise money.
Don't know about most of the rest of us, but I have NEVER ripped a movie in my life. If I don't want to give a horrible franchise money, then I don't want to give them the idea that I might be interested in it if it was free, either.
Watch him again in Transformers, which fanboys seem to hate, but which made a sesquipedillion dollars.
I tried to watch Transformers, I really did. If it makes you feel better, it wasn't Shia LeBoeuf that made the movie unwatchable. Compared to other elements, his part was merely unremarkable.
And it's sad that a race was the most entertaining part of a freakin' Star Wars film.
The downfall was not having them race down the L.A. River. Everyone knows that you are supposed to race down the L.A. River. It doesn't matter where or when your movie is set.
Same with Mark Hamil playing Luke Skywalker again.
You mean like in Return of the Jedi, where he looked like he had aged 20 years in the year that was supposed to have passed after Empire Strikes Back?
Back in the day, I had 17" monitors on Sun workstations. You could have 4 usable xterms in the 4 quadrants of the screen with room to spare. We also had Exceed running on the PCs, and we could also get 4 usable xterms in the four quadrants of the 17" PC screens. However, for some reason, you could only get one usable Dos Window on the 17" monitor. Make it smaller and it was unreadable. Make it bigger and you could only get one on the screen. Somehow I think our windowing world has managed to make less efficient use of the available screen area.
I have the 30" Dell IPS at home and it just makes my work setup (17" laptop plus 24" 16:9) look like porpoise puke. It's a shame, I can't get them to let me work from home because with the 30" at home, I can get more done. One of these days I need to mount it on the wall instead of the gargantuan stand that places it 12 inches out from the wall.
Why the fuck does everybody insist on reading these things full-screen?
A sheet of A4 paper is far smaller than my screen.
The A4 paper was probably printed on a printer at 1200 DPI. Your monitor is probably lucky to have 100 DPI. Depending on font and other factors, it may be necessary to zoom in on your monitor to be able to read the A4 document.
A reply explaining Dice (somewhat snarkily, I admit, but true) to a question about Dice on a site owned by Dice in an article which is an advertisement for Dice is modded off-topic. All hail the new Dice overlords!
So? What other option do you have than to take that risk?
I switched to OpenOffice at home. So far, I have only found a couple of annoyances. One is that Ctrl-Y doesn't repeat the last action. This is pretty minor. The other is that even following the directions, I can't get labeling to work with an address book. It works for the addresses that exist in the address book when I associate it to a document, but not for any that I add afterwards. I'm sure I could figure it out, but with Word, it just linked up with Outlook Express and worked.
I don't think you can ever have been involved with much hiring. There is a reason companies have HR departments: they don't want their highly paid managers to spend 90% of their time reading resumes instead of doing actual work.
Well, I don't exactly hire for a living, but as a technical manager myself, I have been involved in a fair amount of hiring. I don't know what "actual work" a company expects technical managers to do, but I would imagine chief among them would be managing their existing reports and interviewing potential new hires.
If you're so arrogant that you can't be bothered to tailor your resume for the job you're applying for, because you think your sheer genius should be enough to convince anyone, you don't deserve an interview, never mind a job.
People who obviously tailor their resume for the job automatically lose credit with me from the get-go. They are not telling me what they are good at, they are telling me what the job is asking for them to be good at, which I already know. Furthermore, they are wasting my time by pretending to be good at something they are not. They are also wasting their time because they only place they are going to get hired is one that doesn't see through their charade. I sure wouldn't want to work for a company that is dumb enough to fall for the ruse of a resume SEO.
Don't worry, they won't hire you anyway, unless your on an H1b. I have gotten literally not one job e-mail in the last 6 months that was not from an Indian firm trying to place H1bs.
Amusing anecdote, back in 2000, I was looking for a job. My resume was out on Dice, and I had listed the following as an accomplishment "Designed and implemented Sybase Replication and incremental update scheme to reduce Datawarehouse nightly batch load time by 75%." Lo and behold, I found a job posting that had this exact wording in it, from some consulting company. So I applied for it, attaching the copy of my resume from which they had plagiarized my accomplishment. I didn't even get a callback.
Apparently, she is 3rd level to me on linkedin. I looked at her Endorsed skills. Only two of them are actually skills. The rest of them are social traits.
There isn't some agreed upon or 'industry standard' for junior, mid-level, senior, etc.
Sure, there is. When you demand more income than HR's established range for mid-level, and threaten to quit, then they name you senior, and bump you up to the lowest pay in the senior rank. The upshot of this for HR, is that when you move from the highest paid mid-level to the lowest paid senior, the average pay of both ranges goes down, so they get to readjust both ranges to within one deviation of the new average and tada!, the ranges for both levels goes down.

"No! Charge the snooty one."
It's FRANCE.
They're both snooty.
Then charge the one with the black beret.

No! Charge the snooty one.
Well, Mr AC, you seem to have all the answers. What other system that doesn't work should we replace ours with?
Well, this makes sense as the DNA in one part of your body can also be different from the DNA in another part.
They'll probably have a UFO and some aliens in it.

"...they use it to blow up Corellia, killing most of the inhabitants"
...AND causing millions of dollars in improvements.
*MOST* of the inhabitants???
Why would a story that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away use Roman numerals?
