some pennies.
I would write a wrapper though to make the whole thing bit more robust. Groundwork does this with their GDMA agent and it allows you centrally configure and have the client pick up its configuration.
I can only imagine the out-cry if someone from the LGBT community had been chosen as CEO and people complained about it enough to get them to resign. But I doubt that would happen. Would it be ok for the supporters of Prop 8 to drive out an opponent of the bill?
If a CEO is hurting the face of the company he should resign but the only reason that happened in this case is because the opponents of Prop 8 made it untenable. I find it odd the opposition people were so threatened by his views with little other evidence.
I don't agree with the man but we are talking about a technology company, not a legislative body. I despise my CEO but I would never fight for his resignation unless he was killing the company.
And it's sad that DevOps tools like this are tied to a specific language, Puppet especially. I suppose the engine has to be written in something, and the use of classes I guess lends itself to CM somewhat, but I think the learning curve cost is high. When you start wanting to do complex things with Puppet, it starts to degenerate quickly if you are not careful with the manifests->templates->heira to dereferencing variables in the correct context and yadda, yadda, yadda.
Although it's simple to write puppet modules with barely any Ruby knowledge at all, it's dependence on Ruby a steep price of entry.
Python's whitespace syntax is just irritating at any level. I thought that shit was left behind in COBOL.
And yes, I'm a neckbeard.
So, scientific papers shouldn't try to do the best work they can before publication? The article(to me) seems to insinuate that just like "news", paper publishing is rushing to get out regardless of the claims.
True, this sample size is no where near what it needs to be to imply anything factual, but a 10% verification rate seems a little bit more than "a few slipping through."
I guessing if you did a follow-up study of how many of the unverified papers had follow-on studies, the rate would be alarmingly low. So, we end up with a lot of published scientific papers that people can point to that are inaccurate and kicking the verification can down the road. The just seems bad all around.
So, this information source is infected the same as any other information source today. No one cares if they are right or true anymore, just if it gets views. I think we all know most science isn't sexy...

Having been engaged several times to improve data center and IT processes and procedures on several occassions and by a few very large organizations, it has been my experience that the best method to effect change is to show losses in dollars (or whatever) because of the process. You pointed out losses to business opportunities. This is a perfect example of showing that the process is keeping the company from making more money. That is the bottome line (no pun intended).
You should also note that along with the dollars we could have made, the additional risks will also have to be calculated. You could lose revenue based on what incompetent boob you sent to down the server to put in memory. As always, upper management will not only want the potential revenues gains but also what are the risks involved in pusing faster or changing the process.

It is nice to see that the all the research the US Army has done on its apache pilots is finally getting some civilian play. The military has been injecting its people for years with drugs that no one knows what they are, but a lot of it has to do with off-setting sleep deprivation to be able to perform longer missions more accurately.
Am I the only one to think that this cannot be the end all to this? I personally think that most physicists are so afraid of challenging the "greats" theories that it impedes the progress.
I mean why does it seem that anytime someone mentions challenging theories like E=MC^2, other scientists distance themselves from the poor sap proposing such sacrilege?
I am just curious if people doing real science think similarly...

I will be wearing mine for 30 days. I remember going to my buddies house who was the regions OS/2 rep. He had 200+ copies of excel running in minimized windows because he could! And no crashes...sigh
Here's to an OS before its time.
Back in the day, companies charged you for a working tcp/ip stack to go with your spiffy OS that didnt have it. There were several for the Vax and even the Mac you had to have an add-on tcp/ip stack to use because they were all appletalk based. Of course, that was when there were only appletalk networks going to the desktop. Most of the other networks were only in cold storage (data centers).
I would gladly give up owning just about all my cars if we had a train system that worked and was accessible. I think it is sad the US chose to not pursue good high speed train travel.
Hell, I would be willing to pay to subsidize it also.

yeah. At least these guys were getting paid for doing SOMETHING.
Or maybe the 90s. These are rates I paid to have a ISDN in the early 90s from an ISP. Actually, my rates were better.:)
