need to dump the old school players and bring in some fresh blood. also would be good to get rid of term limits, causing the stupid shuffle from office to office for politicians
I have some very old wine glasses - from the '30s and '40s as well as my more recent acquisitions. The glass from which I drank a nice Pinot Noir last night was twice as large as the one my beautiful young bride used to drink her Chardonnay. Her glass was one of the older ones.
Go figure! You'd think bars and restaurants would want smaller glasses to sell more.
Here's a great example. I am needing to submit my budget for next fiscal year. I wanted a list of all the purchases I made for computers, cell phones, routers, laptops, and monitors. The ERP system gives me EVERYTHING I purchased including paper, pens, lamps, furniture, and whatnot. I then took the data, put it in Excel, removed the stuff I wasn't interested in and then was able to get a picture of my purchases with which to plan.
My (IT) staff and I always joke about how Excel is the #1 reporting tool. Unfortunately, with decades of COTS and other vendor systems in play, the only good way to get any decent real-time reporting with sorting and filtering is in Excel. I just exported my 2016/2017 fiscal year purchases out of our $150M AMS Advantage ERP system into Excel so I can analyse the data correctly. The ERP system simply cannot handle the flexibility i need.
There was an article discussing the mandatory overtime and sometimes low pay for these mega factories. I am not at all surprised things haven't changed.
...for preventing climate change being a burden to us or country, and for making us beneficial to the public
It seems very simple to me. In order to reduce teh amount of CO2 being pushed into the atmosphere we simply need to go back to the CO2 levels of the early 20th century, along with the population levels.
On another topic, for making quadcopters (I was into those way before they became "drones" somehow), I have a friend who cuts carbon fiber sheets on a CNC machine in his garage. That seems far more useful than a 3D printer.
My son - currently 17 - went into making multi-roter frames using one of his many 3D printers over the past couple of years. We both thought it could be something. However, the time, expense, and wasted filiment when things went awry were so much more costly than just picking up a frame at the local RC store.
His 3d printers - all home built- are now in the garage collecting dust. We see no future for a home hobbyist until the process, filament become way cheaper and the printing way faster.
I've been seeing this on and off for so long now. Reminds me of the news last year and earlier this year of a surface phone - http://news.softpedia.com/news/microsoft-s-surface-phone-could-launch-in-2019-as-iphone-9-rival-rumors-513785.shtml - that can run Windows 32 apps and be a phone as well as do laundry.
However, though my Microsoft rep and my TAM both sport Apple devices, I can see a future cellular connected pen-enabled low-power device that would be of interest.
Actually I have no idea what Equifax uses but it seems every time i read of these breaches they are because of a lack of communication between various internal groups. Working for a company that is often hit with DDOS or other intrusion attempts by nation-states, I know that the overriding thing to keep them out is open candid communication between staff, management, and vendors.
Also, probably shouldn't put Access databases outside teh DMZ.
Yeah, FWIW, my Microsoft Lumia 950xl, which I've had since December 2015, never has shown any "battery sucking" issues from the Face ID implementation. (It is called, Windows Hello, but works roughly the same by scanning my iris and unlocking the phone when recognized.)
I do plan to wait a bit before upgrading to IOS 11 on my Iphone 7+. Not because 11 is one louder than IOS 10 but because I've learned always to wait for the first patch to be released.
Seriously, my younger son is on Instagram all the time. In the three years he's had an account, he's posted maybe six photos. The rest of the time, he's following meme and joke posters.
I think everyone in the high school has seen teh same memes at least 50 times.
Actually, Android can be secured. There's nothing insecure about it, just the implementation of many to make things easier. Do you allow your users to download from the Google Play store or lock them down? Do you allow root access?
Iphones can also be secure, as are the ten remaining Windows phones out there.
FWIW, I switched from Android to Windows simply because of the UI. I then moved to Iphone after because I can't see going back to the Android UI.
Still, a blanket "android is insecure" is really a childish and misleading statement.

I much prefer drinking H2O2. The fish should as well as it has TWICE the oxygen.

I thought that the bills all stated something like they are good for all debts private and public.

Just need 6 or so billion people to volunteer.

I was just telling my manager that rogue lone-wolf programming projects tend to end up with this exact scenario. I am SO copying this article for her.
I thought it was QNX. Would love to have OSS in my car. (I have a Volt based Malibu hybrid.)
Just don't make me participate in the feats of strength or the airing of grievances.
Oh, I know.
/var/log to see why various devices wouldn't load.
Oddly I can still remember first launching USB under SuSE 9.3 and having to troll my
I probably couldn't even remember how to do that these days.
windows nt 4 doesn't have it. i need to upgrade someday.
Um, same poor syntax with that horrid MVC convolution added in.
Having tried to like Java since the late '90s, I can't imagine there's a language in use less intuitive or helpful.
I'll need to check out Perl. This should be interesting.
Last language I learned was Whitespace.

He needed to cover up for his dad, Rafael, who conspired with the Soviets and Republicans to assassinate Kennedy.
(I may not be entirely sure of my sources, but I read it on the Internet so it must be true.)
Where I work, the few vote tabulation systems we have are connected via TokenRing and are on a VLAN. Only FTP is allowed to be used to transfer data.
Unfortunately, this means that Slack will no longer be usable, become extra expensive, and now be touted as the best thing since sliced bread.
Whenever an Oracle sales rep calls me they must wonder why I laugh before hanging up on them.

...and I thought it insane that my grandparents' tiny post-WWII house in Santa Clara (just over from Sunnyvale) sold for $300,000 in 2001.
People just need to say, no.
I shouldn't feed the trolls but...
