I’m sure a number of people here could do something massively disruptive with software- traffic control systems, water/gas line control, publishing (stolen) classified information, etc etc.
is developing rocketry skills any harder than learning to program?
a desperate/creative mind will always find a way to kill and destroy. while it is easier to go after the methods of destruction, perhaps the gov should do something to resolve the *reasons* behind such acts. </idealism>
You can cry censorship and First Amendment rights till you're blue in the face, but it's perfectly reasonable to set aside a small part of the media and allow the government to regulate it to a reasonable level.
So the government gets to control and regulate the hell out of the FREE, OPEN to the public airwaves. If you want to get around regulated speech, you have to *pay* a large corporation lots of money for the privilege?
Besides, I have a hard time believing someone as obviously smart as he having such a hard time not coming up with something else to talk about besides lesbians.
First blue collar workers in manufacturing where replaced by robots, then white collar and IT workers were/are replaced by cheap labor (and i'm sure companies would be more than happy to replace 30 programmers @ $2/hr with a machine).
Next thing you know street performers (who used to work in a factory or office) will be....well, ok they'll still on the street but you get the idea.
While I would not rely on them as our sole method of job hunting, sites such as Monster are faily easy to use so there is no reason not to put up a resume. Plus you can usually set up a 'search agent' to email you relevant job posts. Sure, you do get some spam- I got a lot of WORK FROM HOME!!! emails, but no one said job hunting is easy or spam free.
The other thing I noticed is that headhunter/recruiters browse resumes. I was contacted by two differnt headhunters who after talking to me on the phone, forwared my resume directly to the hiring manager. This worked for me and I was able to bypass silly initial interviews with someone in HR who has no clue about the position.
The Public Relations link seems to be the only one that lists actual named people (w/email addresses)
They're also pushing thier audigy 2 sound card (which I assume is thier big holiday shopping season product), so I specifically included that in my email to them, FWIW.
i sorta agree with this. the closest i can get to relating to The Who is Rush (who have always had computer/technological themed songs/albums). and there has certainly been plenty of bands to cover the net, etc.
what i find interesting is the number of posts to this thread in such a short amount of time. whats the deal with Geeks being into certain bands/types of music??
I have second this idea. A lot of ppl seem to be pertrified of losing CLI. It doesn't have to go away to make a better GUI. Have a setting that offers users a range of access to the OS, ranging from Newbie to Hacker, limiting what users can see/change presumably having an impact on how easy it is to use.
Corp entities would love this as they could set the access to the OS to avoid the "Futz Factor" (ppl fiddling with screen resolution and background rather than working).
At home, users would have a series a exams to pass, gaining more access to the OS for each one passed.:-)

no, then more jobs will be outsourced to someplace cheaper, with fewer rights for workers. like china, etc.

Too bad most of the people in the know at companies are now collecting unemployement.
Put your message in a bottle and send it overseas and just ignore the laughter when/if anyone reads it.
