Anybody know the technical side of RealID enough to know if a single scanner for "all RealID compliant licenses" is available?
Looking at my Oregon ID, I see the following items that could be used: bar code of license number, 2D dot code of all information. But no mag strip....and I've got to think that 2D dot code may be unique to the state.
There was a reason why I wrote "Republicrats" above. As far as I'm concerned, they're the same party- the Reverse Totalitarian Party (where, unlike in the Nazi and Soviet systems, the economics controls the politics.)
How do you sheath a Batleth? It's not like it's a single bladed weapon that can just slip into a sheath. On the show, it seems the standard method is a case or simply wrapped in a cloth- but I've never seen one sheathed.
Other outlets have been more reasonable- Starter Edition is for third-world countries, and is a cheap-as-shit OS with limitations for being a cheap-as-shit OS.
My favorite though has to be in the boingboing joke article I linked to above: It claims that Starter Edition is only capable of running TWO applications: explorer.exe and an advert for Ultimate.
six nothing! BoingBoing has listed 20 new versions of Windows 7!. Just what I needed, Windows for Voting Machines, just right to make sure your favorite Republicrat gets elected!
Is there a bigger sucker out there than you are to sell the shares TO. If not, you just got talked out of the last raise you'll ever see at THIS company.
Are free hard drive space Hijack This! will show all processes loaded automatically by Windows- including services and processes that do not show up in the process list.
Warning- this also shows device drivers, so "fix" items (remove them from loading) ONLY if you have some clue what they are.
I don't. I feel much *less* safe. Why? My home defense, the Oregon National Guard, has been removed from my state. My federal government refuses to police the borders and lets criminals come in and kill border patrol agents and park rangers. If the border patrol tries to fight back, they get thrown in jail. In addition to that, the one guy who did order an attack on American Soil is still at large, and we utterly failed to capture him or, given the recent death tolls in Afghanistan, even remove the government that was harboring him. And that's just a small sampling of why I feel less safe. Will Obama fix any of that? I hope so, but I doubt it.
Are you a horrible salesperson, or have you never tried?
The former. Actually, Information-R-Us has been limping along- mainly on those once-every-three-months VD&E jobs I mentioned.
I've done all of the above- except for the letter idea. Instead of the letter, I was using a brochure, pasted up on all the free bulletin boards in town (the cork ones, not the electronic ones). I find it interesting that you'd use snail mail for that- but it's a darn good idea. I'll have to try it the next time I'm unemployed.
I also find that leaving a magnetic business card on the computers I work on insures that I get that VD&E job next time, as opposed to somebody else.
Having said that, I live in a town where a downturn in the tech market means thousands of other people doing the exact same thing- the market is a bit saturated, and I don't know what to do about that. But your letter idea might just be the bit I need to overcome.
Well, if you call canceling all of their consulting contracts doing well. There seems to be some panic there.
However, that's all beside the point. The point is that high tech is a luxury, and as such, is by definition a surplus market when things go wonky. Yes, any company that operates on a cash basis instead of borrowing money for the next big thing is going to still be somewhat profitable.
And if you are as horrible a salesperson as I am- there's almost no difference between being unemployed and being self employed (other than the once-every-three-months that every relative and friend and relative of a friend you have that knows you are out of work calls you up for virus detection and elimination jobs suddenly out of the blue).
Well, to be more precise, it's profits that dipped 90%. But when you're Intel- that's 2.3 billion in comparison to 234 million, and hey, that's net profit...Why would a company that is net profit in the millions shutter their doors?
Now had revenue actually dipped below operating cost- for enough time to eat up Intel's $13 billion in cash reserves, then maybe.
I would say the ruthless rather than the liar tends to rise in capitalism.
There is no difference as far as I'm concerned- the ruthless (company or individual) is always a liar, and will always be a liar. Neither customers, nor government, nor fellow business people should trust such a person- but they do, and that's where the whole system falls down.
Forbes was an idiot then, in a world of 6.5 billion people, there are at leas 6500 one-in-a-million geniuses out there, and ever since the banks fucked up and gave us a deflationary economy, demand for the products of people with ability has gone down 90%.
So no, ability has not only caught up with the demand, but has in fact passed it by at the speed of light.

Since just this morning apparently....if 10x my salary as a software engineer is a limit....

The man who owns the voting machine, owns the election.
Given the date of your linked story, beta testing with the Royal Navy is ongoing and it will be installed by 2016.

If the new business process isn't efficient enough to pay for it's development, then should it actually be used?

If you're not willing to sell them, well, Microsoft has yet to announce a dividend.
Somehow my link didn't appear. Hijack This! should be able to be downloaded from http://www.download.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html
Hopefully one of those two will show up.

overall we all feel safer than we did 7 years ago
I don't. I feel much *less* safe. Why? My home defense, the Oregon National Guard, has been removed from my state.

That's going to immediately benefit the following industries:
- Catering in the DC area and around the country
- Textiles and clothing
- mass communications
- Revival in the music industry.
Looks like a lot of benefit for a lot of people who have been ignored recently.

But at least with runaway inflation- you have the money moving and job creation to match (at least, if done properly).

Correct, may fault. NET profit is down 90%, not gross profit or actual revenue.
Oh, and it's in comparison to last YEAR, not the previous quarter.

There is no difference as far as I'm concerned- the ruthless (company or individual) is always a liar, and will always be a liar. Neither customers, nor government, nor fellow business people should trust such a person- but they do, and that's where the whole system falls down.
The problem is, ass-kissers aren't seen as risks, they're seen as profit centers.
The sad reality is that it's both- but for different types of garbage.
With capitalism, the liar rises regardless of whether or not times are tough.
With bureaucracy, the brownnoser rises regardless of whether or not times are tough.
Thus if you're an honest individual who doesn't give a shit what people think of you, you'll always end up unemployed.
