Because I don't want to spend all day tweaking my distro everytime I upgrade to a new one. I grab an all-in-one complete distro that works out of the box (at this point it is Mint Linux). And I am done. I honestly don't want to spend all day reconfiguring every aspect of it. I am to the point where I am going to start skipping the 6 month revisions and stick with the Long Term Support versions. And I will more than happily skip over any version that is reported to be buggy or poorly designed. I want something that just works.
^Modded funny but that is the first thing I thought of. My data center is noisy as hell and would be a shitty place to sleep. Why don't they just throw up a few walls just outside the datacenter and throw in some traditional bunk beds?
My company's marketing department also asked all of the employees to facebook 'like' the company & post comments about the company. There were not any managers pushing this down on the employees. I won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. My rule is to not discuss my company on the internet that is in any what that is identifiable to my company or myself. Once you cross the line of mixing work with your personal life you are walking into a mine field. The best case scenario is that no one cares that you did it. The worst case scenario is that people start looking at your personal internet life and find something objectionable that you have said, or some strangers on the internet decide they don't like what you said and try to get you fired from your company, or you make some off hand comment about a coworker, company or work situation that lands you in hot water. It just isn't worth it.
Not all corporate computer training sucks. Not all of them are power point flip throughs.
The kind I consider the most effective are the ones where everyone has a computer in front of them and go through step by step exercises with sufficient time allowed for people to actually complete the provided task. They also provide a class book that shows the exercise step by step so that when they are done with the class, they can take the book and repeat the exercises back at their desk.
Even from a support position, I saw value in attending some of those classes just so I would know what the users have been taught and are reasonably expected to know.
and may be the first end-to-end record of a full Anonymous attack.
They act as if tracking Anonymous is any difficultly at all. The group is highly transparent. Finding them and following them on specific issues or OPS is not difficult at all. All you need is an strong interest in the subject matter, plenty of time on your hands, and a huge bucket of popcorn.
The abuse scandal was a pattern of abuse and cover-up that exploded into the media spotlight in the late 80s/early 90s. The Church did wrong, but since then, they've done a lot of right
It depends on which country. Check in with Ireland. There is at least one other African country that I can think of off the top of my head that still has issues. They only do a lot right when the media pressure and legal battles becomes too high to just sweep it under the rug.
They have set up webpages before that starts to DDOS servers. All you have to do is trick people to click on the link. Honestly, I think that was one of their more creative ideas.
I suspect the officers are going to use their own. Otherwise there would be a huge market for shitty breathalysers that significantly underestimate your BAC.
If a nation-state or organized political entity orchestrates a campaign over time to destroy an enemies assets, be they economic, social or military, it's a war.
So when a nation or nations implements sanctions (for instance the sanctions on Iranian oil), you would consider that war? I think you definition of war is way to liberal.
Also, if you disagree with me I will recognize that as an act of war on your part for trying to destroy my intellectual assets.
I'm subscribed to the Cocoa-dev mailing list, and one of the regular members there began submitting messages under her real name, revealing that she had previously been posting under a male name because they found that they got more direct responses and less obnoxious comments.
Hmmm... How about we flip this scenario. What if everyone on the Cocoa-dev mailing list changed their names to a female name. Thus everyone is assumed to be a woman. No more trolling of female based names. No one can claim that women are treated differently. No one can tell what is between their legs so people will stop bitching about it and everyone can get the hell back to business.
I don't really think there will be much of a change in the percentage of female involvement in open source coding no matter what we do (unless Mattel introduces Open Source Coding Barbie).
But barring that how about:
* Starting an all woman coding project.
* At conferences, instead of having evening happy hours with 100-to-1 guy girl ratios, split them up to hit the local bars to hit on women who are actually interested in being hit on and better looking that the ones that are of only interest because they are the only ones there. This will help take the focus off of the women beyond their coding competency.
* Level up the socially awkward geeks who are bugging these women because they are pretty much the only female contact in their life. Direct them to resources on how to lose weight, get in shape, dress better and improve their social skills & social life.
Any other solution I hear out there consists of yelling at men and calling them neckbeards instead of actually trying to find solutions. Of course this approach isn't well received and ultimately results in idiotic yelling matches between people who want nothing more than to insult each other based on gender issues. And yes, this is why most people ignore this shit. The people involved are more focused on degrading other people than building them up.
Shocked! Absolutely shocked I say that people would gladly accept a letter from Santa wizard when offered for free, but question is value if asked to pay for it. I don't see how on earth he came to the determination that people highly valued a Letter from Santa wizard? I call bullshit. Perhaps he asked in a follow up questionnaire. Sure people will respond favourably when there are no strings attached. But I wouldn't pay a dime for that service. 5 minutes with google images & Microsoft word and I have something pretty darn similar.
'most people who want something for free will never, ever think of paying you, no matter how valuable they find your service.'
The flaw with this statement is that pretty much everyone would prefer to have services and goods given to them for free. And while I do enjoy(ed) many free services, some were valuable enough and reasonably priced enough for me to want to upgrade or donate.
Other services just were not valuable enough for me to want to pay for, or there were alternatives that were better, or stayed free, or the licensing terms were so onerous that it just wasn't worth the time and money.
Pile on top of that, there are many many products out there that people will try for free. But after evaluation, they determine it isn't worth a dime to them or even wasting time with the product or service at all. The market place is filled with competitive products people just have no interest in. Why does the author think that free products or services are critically evaluated on a similar basis.
I think naming such a species could be precluded by the observation that it appears that it would only work in bipeds, or at least in animals that have an extra set of limbs that aren't being used for locomotion or something equally important. there really aren't that many redundant limbs to work with.
Birds don't have a redundant set of limbs, what were their arms have been switched to just be wings. They are now mostly avian bipeds, except for those who have lost the ability to fly such as penguins and ostriches.
We might have had some, except for the whole tool making thing; bats are tree dwelling rats, as long as they could still climb a bit,
That is my point. All we have are examples of animals that are either gliders or have evolved from gliders. Bats didn't evolve their wings for running. Then we have flying squirrels, sugar gliders & "flying" snakes that have all evolved extended skin flaps for extending their gliding distance between trees.
Name one non-raptor based animal that uses flapping or wing like features to increase running or walking speed.
We have all sorts of mammals and snakes that use skin flaps for gliding. Unless we have examples of non-rapture creatures that use skin flaps of some sort to do increase walking/running speed, I would think the answer is obvious.
If you find a cell phone that doesn't belong to you in a bar and you turn it in to the bar owner,
That isn't as clean cut as you think. I found a wallet in a bar. I gave it to bartender in case the owner of the wallet came looking for it. It turns out the wallet belonged to a friend. We go back to the bar. A different bartender returns the wallet sans a few hundred dollars (my friend is an idiot who can't keep a bank account).
So doing the "right thing," doesn't always mean the right thing happens.

The rich are more likely to cheat, steal, and even disobey traffic laws than those with less money and power
Disobeying traffic laws is a no brainer. They can better afford the ticket and insurance rate hikes.
Cheating & stealing? They can afford better legal representation so are less likely to be punished if they do get caught.

You need two because if you use one of your disposable devices, then you no longer have a working breathalyzer in your car.

I don't see it spelled out anywhere.
We'll save at least %40 with compression and de-dup but it does half write speeds with our xeon 5600(200MB/s down to 80MB/s) .
What is the write speed of duplicate data?

...mammoths turn out to be venomous, highly intelligent, fast, stealthy, have a taste for human flesh and can open doors.
But there is not much profit in telling people that... So, who really are the frauds and/or dunces here?
Wouldn't health insurance agencies & self insured companies stand to save a fortune in providing low cost solutions for expensive health issues?
I think naming such a species could be precluded by the observation that it appears that it would only work in bipeds, or at least in animals that have an extra set of limbs that aren't being used for locomotion or something equally important. there really aren't that many redundant limbs to work with.

All I want are inexpensive e-ink displays. There are a lot of things I would like to do, but the ones I've found so far are small and expensive.
If you find a cell phone that doesn't belong to you in a bar and you turn it in to the bar owner,
