Exactly. There is no "piggy bank" of Social Security funds. The funds are all in the form of IOUs. Just wait till the baby boomers retire... This is going to be fun to watch (not).
It's a myth. Those don't exist. Most managers see getting stuff done by rolling it down hill. The prime directive of any human being is to make their lives less stressful by pushing the problem onto others. They just happen to have the knowledge and skill set you do not have (hence, you're not a manager). It's ok though. This is the way of the world. It's as old as time itself.
I work for an MSP. This is 100% true. ALL MSPs over-extend themselves. It's why I have so-so days of work, and days where shit really hits the fan from all sides. In one day I can book my on-site break-fix visit a whole week in advanced if backlogged.
Working for an MSP is extremely stressful. The pay sucks, getting new clients is next to impossible (you lose clients as quickly as you get new ones) as all businesses are looking for cheaper IT support with more value added. And if that wasn't bad, finding competent IT sales-engineers is next to impossible.
You know, at times I just want to say "fuck it", just go back to filing cabinets and fax machines. Don't both with this house of cards.
I've seen video production work in progress before. For advertisements that is. You have a director or two, followed by a few guys behind Avid workstations. They constantly loop video and audio over and over just to "get it right". It's monotonous! But that's what they do. Once they finalize on a CGI basic render (wire frame or flat shaded), they produce the final video and let it bake all night or until the render is complete.
I'm guessing these guys breakup the work load and stage production. While one segment is rendering full time, the animators are working on the rough cut of the next one.
Personally, I would rather see more movies and media content based on the religious genre. Though by and large Hollywood has a huge disdain for them. Mel Gibson got shunned for The Passion of the Christ regardless of the fact there's a huge hunger for this genre.
Your problem is that you're not looking at this short term. If a manager only plans on being employed for a few years (needs experience before jumping to the next job), he can take on the risk, save the company money and received praise all before shit hits the fan. That's because he would have already been long gone.
As a Texan (Houstonian), we do not want Yankees. Their like locusts that bring their failed urbanite liberal voting policies with them and blight out the local economy. Besides, they drive like assholes! And the honking is a new thing around here. Six years ago, the traffic was a lot more quite.
Converting any crop to fuel is stupid! Water, nitrogen fertilizers, harvesting, and transport all require fossil fuels. It's pointless and the multistage energy conversion to make ethanol is very inefficient. You would be better served burning fossil fuels directly in the engine.
Be sure to tell that to those that earn a paycheck off a computer as a business platform. And unless my company pays me for jacking off to Windows 8, I will not be going near that OS. I will force myself to learn Linux or go the OSX platform. Microsoft is on borrowed time.
Christ almighty! Would someone please tell Microsoft that Windows 8 is a content consumption platform whereas the corporate world needs a multi-tasking UI. This is fucking bullshit!
We should trade nukes. We give them our more powerful 'good' nukes in exchange for their 'evil' Islamic nukes. Problem solved. They will instantly love us and no longer need our money to purchase their limited respect.
I disagree. The problem isn't government; it's government waste and corruption. Go too far and it becomes oppressive and tyrannical. If you have too little government, the people become oppressive and tyrannical. I'm a firm believer that a certain level of functional balance that must always be maintained.
You can plot the poor (crime, rape, murder) areas of town just by the location of these places. About the only thing they serve for me is where *not* to live when planning to move. But yes, these loan sharks need to be shutdown!
So, I'm playing WoW online. My hunter is tired and cold. He needs to walk into a local bar. Oh look!, players sitting at a table. I will sit down and enjoy a game of Hearthstone with the rest of them while staying warm by the virtual fireplace, for five hours!!!. And I planned on playing WoW. Guess it didn't work out that way...
If you earned a profit converting a virtual item for sovereign currency, it is taxable per IRS 1099-MISC form (miscellaneous income).
It's quite possible that virtual game items could be taxable based on the US exchange rate. However, we are talking about children playing games here. But then again, that didn't stop regulators from sending the police to shutdown small front yard lemonade stands either. So there is that.
No one knows. It's been stated that the farther you calculate back to the singularity, the math breaks down. It's quite possible that the universe is infinite in the true meaning of the word. That is to say, you can go all the way to the edge of the biginning of time, but never right up to it.
Right... And when politicians threatens to repeal the funding? I'm sorry, but this is still a bad idea. The press will never bite the hand that feeds! And of all things we need the press to keep an eye on, our own government ranks as the most important. And they need to do so with no strings attached.
REAL ID. Child must input his/her number to be cross verified with a centrally managed government site. Once the token of 'clear' is given back, may the hosting website in question been granted legal permission to provide said child with the content requested.
Obviously the engineers at nVidia know what they're doing. But could someone please explain to me how they plan on dealing with heat dissipation with stacked DRAM modules?
Don't the current high-end cards have the heat-sink directly cool the modules via an intermediary thermal pad? I'm guess it's either not an issue, or these chips run a lot cooler than they used too. Perhaps they plan increasing the word length instead of clocking them high (wide and slow vs. narrow and fast)?

Richard G .Wilkinson would agree with you. Though the wealth inequality gap in the US is vast, the nation is also the most multicultural too.

Thin clients baby!!! Get used to it. It's the ~wave~ (interlocked hand wave motion) of the future!
