Every organization worth its salt has a separate application process for 'experienced professionals'. The only company I know that actually has that on its web site, is Lockheed-Martin. In other organizations, experienced professionals are expected to figure out how to bypass HR and get hired directly by a higher level manager. I think 'bypassing HR' is actually part of the test for a professional...
Yeah, you are correct.
According to Homer, Atlas rested the heavens on pillars, which is rather more practical:
"A wave-washed island [Ogygia], a wooded island in the navel of the seas. A goddess has made her dwelling there whose father is Atlas the magician; he knows the depths of all the seas, and he, no other, guards the tall pillars that keep the sky and earth apart." -- Homer, in The Odyssey
though according to Apollodorus the heavens was sometimes passed to Hercules:
"Prometheus advised Herakles not to go after the apples himself, but rather to relieve Atlas of the celestial sphere and dispatch him. So when Herakles reached Atlas among the Hyperboreans, he remembered Prometheus' advice and took over the sphere." -- Apollodorus
The Gods must be crazy...
Actually, first the world was dish shaped, then it was cilindrical, but the God Atlas has been carrying a globe on his shoulder for about 2500 years already. The American view of the world as a flat Pizza, is very modern...
Well, if your computer sends out a DHCP request for an IP address and a server replies and hands you an address, then you affectively Asked for access and it was Granted.
End of argument...
If you want to do a certain amount of computing, then you are going to pay for the electricity anyway, whether in desktop use, or mainframe use, or dedicated cluster use.
The savings come in the form of deferred capital expenditure, while increased costs will be incurred in maintenance and helldesk support.
Electricity use is pretty much immaterial.
Before you can use the idle cycles, you first have to remove all the spambots, spybots, adware and screen savers that are already running on these machines.
Also, about ten seconds after the regular user comes back from lunch, the shiny new grid computing app will be broken and all the crap apps will be back, so the maintenance cost of this system will be huge.
No, not even that - it is about selling useless high tech devices to the government.
Eg: a. Spy cameras on every street corner. b. GPS in every car. c. Recording every phone call. d. Saving every email. The only result is miles of useless magnetic tape.
London is so congested, the only way to exceed the speed limit, is by first reducing the speed limit to 10km/h.
Of course, part of my annoyance with American slapstick is that culturally, I'm British. I guess Americans will find Monty Python's Flying Circus and Douglas Adams' Hitchiker series annoying, or just not funny.
Actually, there are enormous water clouds in space, but if you are living in the Northern Hemisphere, then may not know about them.
From southern lattitudes, the large and small clouds of Magellan are clearly visible at night. These are absolutely fantastically large clouds of water ice/snow floating amongst the stars.
Also, if we can see two so easily with the naked eye, then there must be many more.
Oh, yeah - I actually studied the schtooopidttt OSI model at university. Who woulda thunk that a simple three layer protocol would take the world by storm?
They should fire whoever created their trading system. Years ago, a lone operator broke the Barings Bank. Things like that should not be possible.
So, who wrote their system? Microsoft???
Sorry, I tried to resist that one really...;-)

Oh dear - too funny - I almost spilled my coffee... ;-)
Opendocman.sourceforge.net is a good one if you want tight, fine fine grained control, with revision mangement. Good for a research situation.

There seems to be quite a proliferation of these services, eg. NoCatAuth, which is used in several projects.

are harvesting spare cycles all the time. I don't think there are much cycles left over anymore!
Dell and HP. :-)
First, go here and stock up:

then here for some accessories:

Only then go to an electronics site and if they give you bad service, then you know what to do...
Hah, never saw a sig from 'Heavy metal' before!
Bah, you forgot to trademark 'Teh', which is far more common on Sloshdat...

No, in Britain - Big Mother is watching them.
Yes, they are in fact galaxies, but with enormous amounts of water drifting amongst the stars, creating large nebulae.

Well, Zeus is going to be severely pissed at Nasa for this fender bender...

So why do you need sound for a silent movie? Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

This is almost as useful as a bowl full of toenails.
'cause that would would be boring and cheap?
