Work for a company that wasn't so stupid with their money during the gravy years. If they are resorting to such ignorant behavior, then they don't have a clue anyway, so better off getting a better job elsewhere.
Place I work isn't even considering any of these stupid options - employee morale is better than I've seen anywhere else I've ever worked. Still have great insurance with a great match, bonuses, travel, etc. Free coffee is so good here that the Starbucks that used to be in the building closed because nobody was buying their stuff. (And replace the Starbucks area with a FREE arcade!)
Anyone who says the only point of a company is to please their stockholders is a soulless idiot fascist.
No, it died because they replaced Ben Bova (An actual SciFi writer) with Kathy Keeton (Who was some kind of penthouse writer) then it got all about frilly style and such crap.
I've had stuff I compiled from scratch also not work. Doesn't mean it's a bad product, could be you just forgot some esoteric parameter when you built it. VMWare is getting worse and worse.
Nothing threatening? Other than "Hmmm, who is most likely to attempt to cornhole me when I'm not paying attention?", there's not all that much of a threat. But still a threat.
Once upon a time, there used to be a B-cell battery. But just like the second sister on the ABC's Family Matters, the B-cell battery simply found itself written out of the script.
Here's what happened. Battery letter designations are based on the size of the battery for common sizes. Hence, A is the smallest, and D is the largest. By that same logic, AA batteries are larger than AAA. Unfortunately for B batteries, however, it wasn't the size that counted.
The fact is, you never see B batteries around because they just aren't very useful in America. Essentially, the mid-size battery never caught on in products made for consumers, so stores didn't carry them, and the cycle just fed itself. The truth of the matter is that B-cells, like artsy directors and good jazz musicians, are really only appreciated in Europe, where they're used primarily for powering bicycle lamps.
Yah right, go lookup the Rural Electrification Act - it basically codified the right to have access to electricity (and later amended to include telephone.)
So I dunno what you mean by "not a right" - It's not a right to have service for free - but it is a right to have access to a service if you're willing to pay for it.
Definitely don't know what you mean by "doesn't apply to everyone either" - who doesn't it apply to?// Get out of the city some time, slicker...// Born in the city, lived many years in the sticks, now back in the city. (After architecting/implementing the first publically available cable modem system in Nebraska back in 1996. First places were pretty much in the sticks - Kearney, Axtell, and Riverdale.)
Yes, but you're not thinking fourth dimensionally - while the law cannot be avoided, there's a little loophole in that the equal and opposite reaction doesn't have to be right away.
Once you get to your destination, then you unleash the opposite reaction and use it to get back home.
Yo, dummy, maybe you should RTFM and find HttpUtility.HtmlEncode() and HttpUtility.HtmlDecode() - these are part of the.NET framework to take care of the issue you are so upset about (These can be in your code-behind or in your Eval() statements in your databinding expressions. You must remember that not everyone needs to check their output, only their inputs. You were approaching the problem in a backwards fashion.
Probable cause is what's needed to OBTAIN A WARRANT. If you don't have a warrant, even if there's probable cause, then the search/tracking is inadmissable evidence.
I've never had such conflicting diametrically-opposed thoughts then that I fully agree with the project, and think of how many great things this project has the potential to produce.
Possibly a cure for cancer.
Perhaps a flawless man-machine interface
(Recursion alert) A flawless man-machine interface and the potentials for both extreme good and extreme evil. But in that case, for a certain percentage of these people, there may be generations of my descendants cursing my act. With a perfect man-machine interface, and a public copy of my DNA, bad bio-hacks could be done by nefarious individuals to me and my descendants. (But then, the "noise" induced into the DNA by each generation of reproduction that "mixes down" the individuality of the "original copy" (aka, me) would make it nearly impossible to gain any "hacking" advantage.)
But on the other side, the knowledge we'd gain by "datamining" 0.1 Megapeople would be tremendous - it could cure cancer/aging/disease and the idea of "immortal till killed" would have to be considered.
I call bullshit on the word "semetic" - it's apparently only used to incite confusion amongst people. Why not try something that makes more direct sense like "anti-Jewish" or "anti-Israel". WTF is "semetic" and why's it got any modern usage? Please remove the word. Maybe Jewish/Israeli people know what it mean, but most of the rest of the people in the world don't have a clue what it means.

Yes, as a professional C# programmer, those issues constantly plague me on a daily basis. Wait, what? ;)

So it must be good for everyone, not just their bottom lines
*Harrumph* on that shit.

Easy as throwing a hammer across the room.
What, you're some kind of cowardly puppeteer?
Even Omaha, NE shows up as under "Des Moines, IA" - Confusing.
Walmart when Sam Walton was alive is a completely different beast than the Post-Sam Walmart.
Walmart was a wonderful, good company back in the day. But Sam's kids have wrecked it pretty bad.
Where did you see that? I don't see it on the article.
Came here to see this, leaving satisfied. :)

Well yah, but a lot of people these days have more than one computer; a desktop AND a laptop.
And a lot of people at /. have more than 10.
Oh, but a couple of them run Linux.
You must be new here... ;)
He said "but fuck" uh huh huh huh huhuhuh.
That's not what my mom told me a "clean room" meant.

I must consider this...
