Seriously though, just hire the kid. Give him a 80 hour a week job and enough money he'll stick it out. No more spare time, no more cracks.
This sounds perfect for my grandma. A little crippled XP that just does email and nothing else. Of course lets hope the spyware/viruses are blocked or the 3 application limit will turn it into a 100% spam box real quick.
I bet they will. I keep reading about people working more then 40 hours a week without overtime, and all kinds of other crap. I don't see why they would suddenly make a stand when the alternative is not programming at all.
Voter turn out in the US averages about 50% on leap years (Presidential election years), and maybe 35% otherwise. So how many people polled really matter?
Technically speaking if they don't vote, then their knowing or not knowing how voting works doesn't make a difference.

I've read a lot about the iPod mini hacks. Everyone may not know this, but you can save a lot of money by doing the same thing with new cars! Just buy a new car and pull out the multi-terrabyte hard drive stored under the driver seat.
Replace it with your old 40 Gig drive. The system still works, but now it only records the last few days of driving, instead of the complete record.
It's almost like getting a free car!

I would never know about all this stuff if the news didn't keep giving me such detailed instructions on whats new and hip in the we-don't-want-people-doing-this category. Let's hope they show the cheapest place to get projectors.
Out of the blue I've had three calls this week for Linux admin projects. 3 Years and no calls from Dice. Now I have a Baby is due any day and can't leave.:(
My three year old saw that video and now he runs around yelling developers, developers, developers until he falls on the floor laughing. Yesterday he told me "That Steve Ballmer is a crazy nut." and that he wants to work for Microsoft so he can run around screaming like that.
He wants Steve at his birthday party instead of a clown.:o)

...I pulled out a 25ft CAT 5 cable, one end into the switch, and the other end into my thinkpad X22 3Lb laptop.
You couldn't find anything within reach except for a shampoo bottle, conditioner bottle and 25 ft of Cat5 cable? Do you have some sort of GoatSE storage system?
So instead of having 2.6 stable and 2.7 develop we'll have 2.6.X stable and 2.6.Y dev. Sounds like USB 2.0 High Speed or USB 2.0 Full Speed.
Version numbers may not matter to developers, but I think this is an example of a usability problem. The old version naming was good and well understood. It's almost like an unwritten contract with users that you don't switch these things mid-stream. Naming is part of the interface.
From the article...
Andrew's vision, as expressed at the summit, is that the mainline kernel
will be the fastest and most feature-rich kernel around, but not, necessarily, the most stable. Final stabilization is to be done by distributors (as happens now, really), but the distributors are expected to merge their patches quickly.
Isn't that the Microsoft model we know and hate? I think they have their priorities out of order. Unlike closed source the code to all the new features is out there in the dev tree. If some distributor thinks they need to take an wants to take untested/unstable code from Dev to Stable, let them do it. Instead distributors will now have to remove or disable unwanted code?
Call it what you will, but this sounds like a development kernel to me.

Programmers will never submit to it?
I bet they will. I keep reading about people working more then 40 hours a week without overtime, and all kinds of other crap. I don't see why they would suddenly make a stand when the alternative is not programming at all.
So, I seriously doubt that we are going to get anything at all like the late 90s going on for technical workers.
Stop It! You're scaring DeVry.
