Didn't the Great Banking Coup of September 2008 teach you anything? Banks can justify whatever they want, and we all have to take it, because there is no regulatory oversight anymore.
I used to think that way. 5 layoffs later and no loyalty in return, and now I do just the bare minimum plus enough value adds to stay employed. I have NEVER gotten compensation for thinking about the company first.
Having said that, in the grandparent's case, it's a reasonable value add IF he is getting paid a salary. If not, if he's paid hourly, he should total up his hours, cut his rate in half, and offer the solution for half the standard hourly rate. It would still make a nice bonus.
Lack of preparation, certainly. But given the fact that he expected to be spending the night at a resort in Gold Beach, not get stuck in the mountains in the middle of winter, his lack of preparation is understandable.
Having said that, we *routinely* lose well prepared and experienced mountain climbers around here often enough that the government subsidizes mountain locator rentals. And even then, we get people who claim to be well prepared and experienced enough *NOT* to spend the $5 to rent one. Every year, 2 or 3 of those go missing, only to have the bodies found in the spring.
He's one of the most famous examples, but there are tons of private, non-government roads in Oregon. Of course, sometimes a GPS here is the cause of the problem to begin with. We average about 3-4 tourists and other types getting lost and needing to be rescued every year.
I haven't found such a setting on my G2- but then again, I never thought to look- and I just did and don't see it in either of the obvious places (menu...settings...General Preferences on Gmail, or appgrid...settings...application settings), but then it might be hiding elsewhere, or this might be just a G2-specific limitation.
I read Android Gmail App, using a Gmail account. I don't sync to exchange at all- don't have an exchange server to sync to- so it's ALL Gmail, and all the Gmail Ap says in the tunnel is "connection unavailable".
Archiving does no good on Gmail. Your mail is entirely held on the server; the archive as well- when the phone goes through the tunnel, the Gmail Ap just returns "Connection Unavailable".
LATE? Windows CE, on which Windows Phone is based, came out in 1996. The first Windows phone came out in 1998, running CE 2.0. They were YEARS ahead of Apple and Android. What Apple changed- was a usable User Interface experience (most people just didn't want to hit the "Start" button to make a phone call!).
Yep. Windows Mobilie is, after I switched to Android, actually a *superior* OS, locked behind an utterly incomprehensible user interface.
Android is a superior user interface, chained to an operating system that operates so much in the cloud that I lose the ability to read my e-mail when the train goes through the tunnel on the way to work. And while their cloud-based GPS application is *vastly superior*, God help the poor person who is trapped in Oregon's hinterlands out of the reach of even a 2G signal.
I have yet to have a manger have a realistic interpretation of either what a computer can do, or how long it takes to do it. Heck, I know very few trained software engineers who have a good sense of this.
Exactly what I was thinking. Just as I was thinking the *OBVIOUS* solution would be to add a built in scripting language that isn't based on C, but on some higher level programming language.
Why should they be self-enforcing? Why shouldn't a shipment of subsidized solar panels be viewed as the same as a shipment of bombs? They do the same economic damage.
" or that we can have democracy only as long the leader we choose put USA's priorities before the interest of our nations."
We citizens of the US, at least the 99% the Occupiers and Tea Partiers *claim* to represent, have the same problem. Doesn't matter how you vote, Republican or Democrat, the grand majority of Congress Critters just passed the National Defense Appropriation Act of 2012 that allows them to deploy troops and use drones WITHIN US Borders.
Say goodbye to the Republic of the United States of America- was nice while it lasted.
I was thinking of a different self-selecting sample- the script kiddies willing to spread malware-infected USB sticks around in public to see which computers phone home.

Just noticed ICS- I'm still waiting for my G2 ICS upgrade from T-mobile. This might get better, thank you for the info.

Funny, you just slashdotted Mapdroyd.

What are RipRap plans posted under? That seems to me it would be the proper choice- especially since it would enable "free as in beer" replication.

A super easy one in this case is time of entry to time of completion of ticket- for a large number of tickets to get averages.
A detailed knowledge of the market != knowing enough C code to read this sentence.
But you also don't want to work there anyway- not with a 100-to-1 user to IT ratio.

So they've finally figured out they have to Build them in the OCEAN?!?!?!?
No, it doesn't, not under the current WTO rulings, which allow any businessman to sell anywhere on the planet without fear.

I just wish giving up your citizenship meant giving up the right to sell anything to the American citizens that are left.
It's a hot trade war, with one side believing the rules don't apply to them, and the other side letting them get away with it.
