What I've wondered for a long time is why industries don't go into local colleges and universities and teach soon to be graduates what they want the job candidates to know when they graduate. Surely a semester of Cobol, or any of the specialties you mentioned could only benefit both the companies, and the students soon to be in the market for jobs in the area.
Yes, government is inefficient and vile, and should never be trusted out sight, but despite that we DO need it in certain instances. The challenge is to keep it reigned in and on target, while ensuring it doesn't take over everything and do what it does best, bureaucratize everything to a stand still.
I don't know why it has to be limited to Latins of gender and Blacks, but ANY effort that increases the number of students of any gender, or racial origin taking AP sciences and technology classes is a good thing in my mind. AP history and critical thinking increases would greatly benefit everyone as well. Education is a good thing however it is acquired.
I call BS. It is all about who will accept the abuse and work 80+ hours for peanuts. There is no shortage of talent here in the US, it is all about cost of living and a decent wage. I've had to train many of those so-called high talent workers from foreign lands, their biggest asset is their willingness to do whatever is asked of them regardless of what it does to their life.
I disagree. Develop a reputation for writing fair and true reviews and people will flock to your side. We are all tired of sycophantic reviews that read as ads or rate a crappy product in a favorable light. Buy your own product and write a true review and 'they' will read.
IDEA - Run a fund me for the price of a card, complete the review and give the card away in a lottery to one of the original funders.
There would be another available opening if anyone mounted a USB stick of any sort, let alone one brought on site by non employee. I've been to places that have USB ports disabled or had local mice plugged in and had locked covers over the input to prevent adding anything. But I generally don't work for very small offices so I guess that kind of stuff must still occur.
AHH I had not thought of it that manner. Perhaps the traditional landlords should consider competing with AirBnB for short term rentals as well as the traditional market.
How does an increase in the number of units on the market drive the price UP ? It would seem to me that greater available number of units would force the prices down. I am obviously missing something here...
WOW, that does look cool. Too bad my PC does not meet any of the specs:( I may have to work some overtime to get a new gaming rig and then look into this. Not sure I've seen any new titles I'd really want to play that badly though.
I still don't like gaming on consoles, I could never get the hang of a console controller vs the mouse and KB, and can't understand watching videos or gaming on a tiny phone screen. Give me my PC and a mouse, hooked to my big screen TV. I still am waiting for a controller that takes a mouse into a true 3D mode. For those that remember the Descent engine, and Descent into UnderMountain. I was so looking forward to a truly 3D dungeon crawler with incremental sword control, but the lack of a good controller setup really killed that concept. I still think a cross between a joystick and a mouse with a gravometer (sp?) to detect altitude and motion changes would be AWESOME but the WII was the closest to that and their game selection was silly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Being in the middle of no-where our local government had to offer a sweet heart deal to get even one cable company to even consider service here. Yuma is 3 hours from anywhere of significance, be it San Diego or Phoenix and 5 hours from LA, the only other thing out here besides desert is a Marine Airbase, and they have great internet but won't share with 'civilians'.
This is the competitive internet that the FCC has 'fixed' for us. I've only got a single choice, Spectrum, and though they advertise service 'starting' at 60 mbps in our area they can only deliver 23-25 mbps and have no intention of upgrading the infrastructure to make good on their hollow promises.
The US claims to own "...of America" They grandfathered in a few old businesses like Bank of America, but you can't name a business of America these days.
I've no doubt we 'could' fight it in several ways, but even if every human on the planet did something positive one day of a volcano eruption would do more 'damage' than anything humans can do to the opposite. Not that we should give up, reforestation, advances in science and humanity not contributing to our own downfall are goals worth pursuing, but we better start looking for ways to adapt our selves to a changing environment. Whether we are the cause or not, the world is and always has been changing, and the environmental balance in the world has never been stable on a geological scale.
Wouldn't unplugging the machine do the same thing ? I can't think of ANY OS that doesn't have 'problems', and I've worked on more than my fair share, from DOS/VSE, to OS/360, to VM/XA,, TMDS, OS/2, Windows, Unix, Linux, Solaris, and many others, classified as programming languages and/or OS's. The so called 'social engineering' aspect is beyond the hacking aspect. You can educate the ignorant, but stupid is forever, besides how do you socially engineer someone to put a USB stick with some code into a machine unless you could get the stick to them somehow, and what are the odds of that ??
What is the point ? If I have physical access to the machine I can induce the equivalent of a BSOD by unplugging the fsck'n thing. Why bother with a USB stick to make it crash ? Seems like an exercise in stupidity. I've discovered that I can crash your computer even if locked if I can get physical access to it by picking it up off the shelf and throwing it to the floor. Rinse, repeat....
Drinkypoo is correct at least as far as the current round of fracking goes. They are injecting absolute crap in the ground, industrial waste and chemicals that they have laying around and can dispose of. If they were in fact using water, even grey water it would be a different story. Not to mention the link between fracking and earthquakes, which may or may not be true.
Electricity and batteries are not the solution, unless there are radical developments in batteries. Hydrogen fuel cells are a far better option in the long run, but much less profitable for the current petrochemical market. We should be conserving the oil for plastics and not using it in the form or fuel.
This sounds like a huge undertaking, and seems to be a smart move but it is daunting to think of the effort involved in changing a national alphabet. I am not sure I've ever heard of such an effort before, anyone else ??
It might be cool if they could work cell phone functionality into the OS so it could make like it was a cell phone and connect using VoIP. Of course even if they did it would be so insecure that it would amount to getting your phone hacked.
It is actually better for the individual in the UK court vs an American court. The bar for libel and slander is lower in the UK. The degree in which the UK values individual reputation and the protection of such is higher in the UK than in the US. I wish the guy luck, and a special place in hell for those who continue to use his name without his permission. After warning Facebook, and having ads pulled, they should be on the look out for more fraud but as usual they will disavow and responsibility or any wrong doing.
How long did it take to get that many miles ? Not a really good metric. They need to quantify how long it took to get to that mileage, or how many recharge cycles that encompassed. If I drove 20k miles per year, or 40k miles per year, it makes a huge difference.

Why should the US give a fsck about the climate in Paris... I predict severe smug storms, with heavy condescension.

BINGO !!! Biometric measurement + a userid make a great start, then a user derived password.

Speaking as a citizen of Arizona, scorpions clear out roaches better than any chemical solution, but there are a few side effects. Of course YMMV.
