So they spend four years rediscovering Avogadro's law, but they won't know how to work out what kind of fuse they need for a 10A kettle? Or what happens when you mix descaler and bleach? Or how much pressure an object weighing X exerts if its footprint is Y? Or why some peas are small an wrinkled? Or 101 bits of "trivia" that can, on occasion, be actually useful?
a) I get. It's crap writing, because "more than 90" means everything from 90 + one RCH (fail ratio 90 / 10 = 9:1) to 99.99 (fail ratio 99.99 / 0.01 = 9999:1). I guess having a K - X on the bottom is what makes it so nonlinear.
b) I thought getting funded was the point? But if it isn't that's also crap writing, because it makes it seem like they're almost the same thing.
There's a simple solution to this: The layer above them needs to make it so that even if they don't spend every dime they got on the last budget they can reasonably argue for more on the next. You know, treat each period as an independent item[1]. Start from scratch.
Someone should patent that. They could call it "Zero based budgeting" or something.
And by the way, the thing yo mention is by no means confined to the public sector.
[1] If there weren't so many aspies around here I wouldn't need to state this, but obviously this wouldn't apply to long term projects - like digging the Panama Canal - that run for many periods.
The amusing bit is their ranting and raving about anything remotely government related and acting like they forged the very sun that warms them and the earth they walk on by the sheer force of their own wills.
It's as if not being born in the projects, let alone Somalia, was somehow their achievement.
If paying some people to break windows and others to fix them prevents them from robbing liquor stores you could argue that it's a net plus to society.
But if the government spent the money directly (on hiring more teachers, buying books, fixing leaky roofs) that would be communism which leads to hospital death panels, mandatory gay marriage, and banning SUVs.
If they hire a big contractor to build a humongous boondoggle then it's private enterprise, which is freedom and apple pie and NUMBER ONE!!!!
We don't. Instead of the 1% having to pay the plebs, who then spend the money, and the 1% get part of that back as profits they can just get their automatic factories to make what they want. Cut out the middleman. They won't actually need money as such.
Of course that rather involves doing something with most of the 99%. But then I'm reliably informed that being part of the 99% was never meant to be a living proposition.
But not in the private sector. There it's all free market this and competition that.
You don't mind people getting replaced by H1-Bs if it means cheaper shit for you. But heaven forbid you'd have to face competition yourself, because you're special.

Perhaps. For some people it's the other way round, and others prefer something else entirely. But it's Linux, you have the choice.
Oh, hang on, you don't any more. That's what pissed most people off, I suspect.

I have a T40 (don't know how old - it's rude to ask - but it's non-pae) but had shitloads of driver trouble with Win7. Kali runs fine on it.
I'm glad somebody is, because I'm not.
The complete absence of anything by Lennart Poettering.
C-reamer, it's really time you stopped.
They used a log scale, or something like that.
It is the neuter of he (and him). You wouldn't put an apostrophe in his, would you?
Unless they're going to be playing Unreal World Of Steel Theft Craft 4 why is latency an issue? It's for schools, isn't it?.
I'm going to autofund me some popcorn and wait for roman_mir and all the usual suspects to enthrall us with their wisdom.
I saw them in Jurassic Park, they're real!

Do both.
Protip: Use different business names & addresses.
There can be only one.
We got it, and the mollusc munchers don't.
Fin.
Won't that cost more?
How will making them pay more improve their quality of life?
Anyway, I have it on very good authority that jobs like cleaning were never meant to pay a living wage.
So I guess is a mile is 1.571 km?
If they create too many jobs there won't be enough workers to keep the coalmines running!

Snitches get stitches? Does an adult know you're using the computer?
Really? So what's the deal with all those buildings on Ellis Island?
