Morrison will have 30 years at GM and can retire with a full pension. He'll be 49 then.
That's why manufacturing jobs are disappearing in the US: BigCo's like Ford & GM will have to pay him a full pension for 25 years, which just about doubles their costs.
What kind of spineless girly boy worm (including Canadians, Brits, ANZers, and most voters-for-Obama, all of whom have passed, or desperately want to pass draconian anti-freedom gun restriction laws) says "eek" when referring to a handgun?
Well, it's Monday morning (where I am, in America, which is all that counts!), so a serious case of lack-of-humor is to be expected on the part of some commenters.
You could probably still find it on ebay or amazon.
Good thought.
I'm actually quite fond of UNIX.
Not me. I've been able to stick with OpenVMS for most of the last 20 years!
I wish I could use it at work more.
The future where I work is Oracle on Linux. That fleet of supertankers has sailed and there's no altering course.:(
I've been using Linux as my sole desktop for 10 years (Debian now for 7 years), because it gives me the CLI power I expect from an OS. What I'd prefer is OpenVMS which kept up with the times.
As BillX commented, use (the computer version of) a "stopwatch". That's what I do.
If the linear increase in rows of data (I'm a DBA, formerly a DP programmer, even though my degree says Comp Sci) shows a power increase in time, that's bad. Anyone with half a clue can see that.
Face it: 99% of people who get CompSci degrees do not become scientists. We become programmers.
t's not that we won't let any US navy ships make port calls, just the nuclear armed or powered ones. It's not our fault if the USians won't say which of their ships carry nukes.
It's god damned obvious to anyone with more than a third of a pea brain why a Navy doesn't want to announce all of it's capabilities.
But I guess I must: even though NZ is friendly, anyone at the Soviet Embassy simply drives down to the wharf, and then wires back to Moscow, "the USS Foobar does not carry nukes."
Me introduce straw men? Quoting the government in context is not, and never will be, a straw man.
I give you evidence, and you give me sarcasm.
If you have the money, you can go "private" and beat the waiting lines!
Not according to the NZ Herald. Or are they also lying SOB Tea Partyers?
Immigration New Zealand has told one pregnant woman that - despite her financial stability - she would "be putting an additional strain on our already short services", which the department claimed were "stretched in most areas of the country".
I suspect you think that New Zealanders are "jealous of our freedom" too don't you.
The freedom to not have enough doctors and hospital beds?
Last year, NZ (which doesn't pay it's own doctors enough to stay in NZ) paid My Cousin The Newly-minted Doctor to work there for 6 months. It hardened her, a relative free spirit who lives in the New Orleans French Quarter, against socialized medicine.
My whole country is Nuclear Free, does that make us guilty of "gross stupidity"?
Yes, as a matter of fact. It's cowardly anti-Americanism (man-up and say, "we don't want your Navy making port-calls" and "we're hypocritical bastards who actually love oppressive dictatorships" (the CND are one-sided pacifists, and I agree with Orwell about one-sided pacifists).
Are they denying that the logic of nuclear science works,
That's why it's bad in a different way.
Or are they just being implausibly bull-shitty?
Stupid is as stupid does.
Evolution Denial is one manifestation of gross stupidity, while the Nuclear Free Berkeley Act and the Oppressive States Compliance Resolution are others.

Spot the verb in the headline? I didn't.
Then unless you are ESL, hang your head and go back to 4th Grade.
I thought pork production produced LOTS of methane.
How are you confusing methane with hot air?
In other words, they have a negative ROI.
Probably not, considering that these are capital investments which probably have accelerated depreciation schedules.
I didn't see anything that suggested fabrication would be easy.
Besides, we all know what Academics mean when they say in the next 5-10 years.
Proof Read Much?
Proofread much?

Thus: lighten up people.
or OO in (it's) current state
Maybe it would boot faster???
Most (all?) of the benefits of OO programming can be gained by
IIRC, later (but pre-Delphi) versions of Turbo Pascal had most of those features.
You could probably still find it on ebay or amazon.

I am sooooooo jealous!
"Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
I guess that's where idiocy like Object Orientation and all that crap comes from.
MS Excel 2003 loads (on my XP Pro laptop) in 10 seconds, but OOo Calc 3.2 loads in 30 seconds.
The very first topics in my (otherwise horrible) COBOL-74 textbook (where they made you jump through hoops to not use GOTO) were...

I have yet to be fingerprinted
I guess you aren't going to Canada any time soon.
Lots of people hated Unix. They even wrote a book.
FireFox has excellent History Search.

get this: _I_ dont NEED harddisk reads in the middle of my activities.
Then go back to DOS (or buy a quiet HDD). The rest of us understand that this is a multiprocessing OS which works even when you don't.
Windows knows the differences between "free" RAM and cache RAM, and can't (can it??) be so stupid as to zero out what it knows to be cache.

When did peace activists (aka "useful idiots") ever protest in front of the Soviet Embassy?
And then there's this: Dietzel told Kliem he was a physicist working for an international research company committed to world peace.

And this: Women who get pregnant while in New Zealand on temporary residency permits are being told to leave the country to have their babies because of a shortage of maternity services.
I guess Nevada hates America too because they don't want Yucca Mountain.
Nah, that's just NIMBY.
You know damn well what I meant by "cool"
Hip, modern, desired by "youth" (which my father isn't). Or has "cool" shifted meaning as my own beard has grayed?
now you're just trolling.
No, really.

"And if the coolest laptop..."
He's my 65yo father, not my 15yo sister. "Cool" doesn't do much (anything, really) for him anymore. Comfort and utility are it.
