After working in a call center for four years, my immune system is pumped up. The first year was hell, but after that I haven't been sick yet. Not being assigned to your own cubicle (pick any terminal available when starting shift) will do that.
However, you can't really build an immune system against fecal matter. I mean, I suppose you could. But 9 out of 10 times it will leave you puking your guts out. People really need to wash the shit (literally) of their hands. Dump them in caustic acid if you must. But *please* people, wash your hands before leaving the restroom!!
Regardless of what throne you sit upon, sanitary alignment within the restroom is extremely important. For example, the trash can should be located within close proximity to the door. That way, you can wash your hands and use the paper towel to open the door prior to throwing the towel in the trash.
Yes, call me strange and unusual. But this is my "holy crusade". Public restrooms (in fact all restrooms) should have sanitary alignment.
China will also have to compete against India and Africa as well for cheap labor and technology. Until global economic equilibrium has been reached with regards to the flow of wealth from nation to nation, it will always be more cost effective to outsource vs doing business locally.
As I've said before. America's problems can't be solved with trickle-down or trickle-up policies. That's because were facing trickle-OUT. So until we can stop the hemorrhaging of wealth from our nation, we'll never pay off our debt. At worse, we default.
Why do you think Scientology was created? It was to provide tax-exempt status to a legalized pyramid scheme. The closer you get to reaching Clear, the more about this scheme is revealed to you. Of course, not until after you dump tons of money into it. So by the time you've reached Clear, you've now accepted that Scientology is complete and total bullshit yet but must keep your underlings in the dark just long enough to cash-out.
And what would happen in the event of an epileptic seizure caused by this? Do you really want to be on a crotch-rocket then? It's not like you can simply drop the controller, but you would a bike for sure.
it's going to finish with the UN administering the root servers.
That actually may be the whole point. The Feds may be trying to engineer the handover of the TLDs to the UN. They're just trying to piss everyone off enough for the UN to take the initiative rather than the US be so blatant about it. If I had to guess, China's pulling the strings for this to happen. I wonder what kind of back-room deals are being made now they own so much of our debt.
Gambling by definition is unfair. The house will always come out ahead. Period. PERIOD! At that point, you're only splitting hairs with regulation as to what is and isn't fair. I go so far as to say that being "regulated" = buying off the Feds (basically a bigger mafia above them) enough to keep them from looking their way as they continue to game the system.
My advice, only gamble if your in it for the good times. If you earn any money, run away ASAP. If you don't, consider the loss a cost of consuming entertainment. But above all, it's best to accept the premise that you will get financially fucked no matter where you gamble at. Be it in Vegas or online.
I was going say the same thing. Let's keep an open mind here. Perhaps war and strife was the reason for departing of these lands. If you can't fight off danger, it's best to run away than die trying.
People have a sense of adventure to explore, but we're not one for leaving our homes either. Not unless we perceive the whole "grass is greener on the other side" thing.
Interesting. That would explain why a first generation born American from immigrant parents will speak with foreign accent too. I'm curious to know how many generations it takes for that to erode away. Two, three maybe?
With a traditional rack (air cooled), your servers will build up heat in the event of an HVAC failure. But at least you have ample time to start a controlled server shutdown sequence. But with liquid cooling, I would imagine the heat buildup would happen very very quickly in the event of a pump failure. You want to talk about a mini-thermal meltdown, 100kW of heat will do that.
I can't stand DRM, and piracy is too much of a PITA to bother. Games are not that valuable for me to pirate, hack, crack...whatever. No, I'll just go back to my old games I used to play 6+ years go. Still plenty of replay value in them.
As a resident of this state, I had my last paycheck from my previous employer go to the state. I never knew about it until many years later. Apparently my pervious employer tried locating me, and gave up. So now that the state was given it, they contacted a collectors agency whom hunted me down. The basic idea is that they collect a small percentage of the finders-fee. It sucks, but I never would have known about it otherwise. Anyways, I had to contact the Comptroller office in Austin, TX to make my claim. Makes me wonder if I was on that list...
I get the gist of how Google runs their business. But I wasn't really sure about Pandora. Ya, I suspected they sold playback statistics to 3rd party firms. But I did not suspect to what depths they went, or even if this was their actual business plan. For all I knew, Pandora was acting as a loss-leader. That is, they would pay for the cost up-front to get large user install base, then capitalize on it later through a premium subscription plan.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind them doing this if they had been clear and upfront with their intentions. Something along the lines of...
"We will provide you a free service in exchange for client usage statistics. This information will be shared with 3rd party marketing firms"
It's not so much what they do with this information in so much that I no longer feel safe reading this first time on Slashdot. How can I trust them now? I can never trust a sneaky bastard. Because of their lack of disclosure, Pandora just got uninstalled from my Droid.
Newegg gets my vote. I don't know about the rest of you guys/gals, but my experience with Newegg rocks! That's not to say that won't turn 180 and turn into total douche bags, but that's a hypothetical tomorrow. Today however, they have my love:)
What pisses me off is that even with Dell Open Manage Administrator v6.5 (stand-alone), it still does not have the ability to e-mail alert notifications via SMTP. However, an SMTP engine exists within an iDRAC6 Express. WTF Dell?! I need to be notified when a drive dies on a client's Windows SBS box. iDRAC cards don't capture storage events.

Imagine for a moment that warp-drive was invented, and it was all powered by a steam engine inside a spaceship! **head asplodes**

No, I was being very serious (I live in Texas, major hispanic population). You seemed to know of this matter than I do, hence why I asked you.

...History became legend. Legend became myth.... LoTR
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
The story of Cain and Abel sums it up pretty well. From the very beginning I might add.
So what your saying is this. If I throw off 100kW of power in a tank full of oil, it will not get hot enough to fry fish and chips?

There's a big fat difference between passive DRM and active DRM that phones home periodically and installs root-kits.
I can't stand DRM, and piracy is too much of a PITA to bother. Games are not that valuable for me to pirate, hack, crack...whatever. No, I'll just go back to my old games I used to play 6+ years go. Still plenty of replay value in them.

And I should trust them now? How do I know they're not double dipping into my wallet AND selling my usage stats to a 3rd party?
Trust. A concept that's very hard to earn, and easy to lose. They've lost mine.

Reminds me of this story. Basically, 29,000 toy yellow ducks fell overboard as it was leaving China back in 1992.
