Google has not selected Portland, OR. This article discusses a law that was passed to entice Google to come to Oregon.
"Google is not expected to make any final decisions about whether Portland will get Fiber until year's end, but having a cable franchise deal in place helps pave the way."
It has to be balance between the employer/employee for this thing to work. If the employee gets awesome compensation and the employer doesn't get something worthwhile in return, it doesn't work. Likewise, if the employee doesn't get decent compensation and the employer gets some valuable product, it doesn't work. If the employee and the employer both benefit, then everyone wins and there is balance in the give/take. In those unbalanced situations, either an employee quits or they're canned.
I suppose you could take advantage of the economy and low ball new hires and work them like dogs, but that's a pretty gruesome way to run a business.
Why is this professor, who values his 10 years of digital work, keeping all his eggs in one basket? That guy should be regularly backing up data that is irreplaceable. Theft, loss, hardware failure or even operator error could all lead to a devastating loss.
1. Attention to detail. It's amazing that new guys here who are veterans don't have that. A requirement will come in and they'll get 90% of it done, but either gloss over or not notice the 10% they didn't do. I take pride in my work and I would expect others to at least pay attention to detail in theirs. 2. Extra effort. I work in a small company so each cog that contributes to the team translates to a stronger company. If a customer who uses our software has an issue and it's critical, we expect someone to handle it in a timely fashion even if it means working on weekends or late into the night/morning. 3. Team player. We work in a team where I am at, and no single developer stands on their own. Everyone has their own area of expertise and we often go to each other looking for insight or help. People shouldn't be afraid to ask for help and others, time permitting, should give assistance to others. Also a big part of being a team player is offering *constructive* criticism. Don't be negative or if you do, have it lead to a positive outcome. I know a lot of developers may have foot-in-mouth syndrome (even if they don't know they do) or more destructive than constructive, but it's important to try to reach a positive result with everyone feeling better about the situation than before. Nothing destroys morale than a fly in the ointment or a nay-sayer... I do agree in logical discussions and hearing everyone out, but once a decision is made, people need to move on and not be petty. 4. Curiosity. It annoys me when someone asks for help without even trying. My general rule of thumb when it comes to helping is if you've tried solving a problem for an hour and have no measurable progress, outside help is advised. But curiosity also serves to improve something or to gain more knowledge. 5. Thoroughness. If a bug should resolve itself with a bizarre fix, why did it fix it? What is the real underlying cause? I've worked with people who say they've fixed an issue when they've just fixed the symptoms or have put a bandage on a wider problem. If you know the problem is bigger and it is important enough, why not spend the time (time permitting) and fix it the right way? 6. Take Notes!!! Nothing annoys me more than having to tell someone how to do something over and over and over again. I can understand once or twice. But beyond the 3rd or 4th is a waste of my time. If you know you're going to have a tough time remembering, take notes! Write something down or do something! Be creative!
Anyways, that's what I've come to value in developers here where I work as a lead developer.
isn't that why most pants have pockets? for keys and such? the only trick i do is i keep my phone in the left pocket by itself so it doesn't get scratched. everything else goes into the right pocket. as far as an alternative? i don't know. I don't want to keep it dangling around my waist hooked on, so I keep it safely stowed in a pocket. I wouldn't necessarily feel comfortable with a one-key-for-everything concept. Too many eggs in one basket for me, personally.
The GPS is pretty accurate and the highlighted radius surrounding my current location in maps isn't huge. I'm under the assumption that the WiFi iPad *does* have regular GPS.
I've been buying music exclusively from Amazon for this very reason. I'm not necessarily part of any kind of movement or big plan to remove DRM from iTunes. Rather, dealing with permission and rights issues are a pain and a mess. Amazon's DRM-free music is so much easier to maintain and manage than iTunes DRM'd music.
Before adobe had announced their camera, I did some research. There are existing patents which cover using multiple lenses on various types of surfaces allowing the very same thing (like insect compound eyes) allowing software to capture 3D images. using multiple sensors like this is a way to capture light as a vector and not just as pixel of intensity.
my mistake. i work with a lot of older people who play as well. goodness knows a few years ago, before i lost some interest in video games, i was responsible for helping a grandma i worked with become addicted to world of warcraft.
what i was trying to say by asking that question is that 3d realms, hoping to score on the popularity of the franchise, may be missing the mark (aside from the empty promises) by losing people that turn away from games. the past audience 3d realms could have used sentimentality on may have changed or become disinterested. now they're going to have a hard sell to a larger group of gamers who don't know the franchise who will judge the game by the technical and gameplay merits.
i've been playing video games for a long time as well, but i don't play video games like i used to. commodore 64, atari, vectrex, 360, ps3, etc. i used to play duke nukem a long time ago, but i only consider myself a gamer because i have the latest consoles.
1. linux+raid5+lvm
but the only problem is with more hdd's the more power, then you'll need to upgrade the psu, etc.
2. another option is something like promise tech's smartstor 4300 (4xSATA drive NAS enclosure that supports RAID).
3. there's drobo which is a RAID usb drive which can take 4xSATA drives, but it doesn't have a network connection.
4. dedicated windows machine with file shares
also, another consideration is noise & placement. For noise, pc's are more flexible.
Last year a different company made news demonstrating a monochrome version of their pico laser projector (PVPro) last year. They used LCoS to generate diffraction patterns rather than using a MEM mirror.

I always thought traffic congestion was like those experiments you did as a kid with cornstarch and water where it can feel like a solid and liquid. the starch dough moves if it's relaxed, but solid when there's pressure. I'm not sure how accurate my analogy is...
Does this mean we can write apps to stream video from a camera phone or use a VOIP app?

Star Bridge Systems specializes in FPGA computers and tools to program them. It's been a while since I've checked up on them, but I'm pretty sure the NSA was/is one of their customers.

Hoax or not all suspicious devices need to be examined and treated like a real threat. Sure it's an overreaction, but it's better to err on the side of caution.

Is "Reactive" logic an event-driven model with reused logic for column calculations/validation?

i agree. part of me is also surprised his drive is lasting as long as it is.

10 years ago, I heard a high ranking naval officer say that if we wanted to debilitate an enemy, we should give them powerpoint.

"Got any other short-sighted blanket-statements to make?" i'm just asking a question. no need to be derisive.
Are the people who played this game 12 years ago still playing video games now?

i was thinking the flow of traffic is like a liquid. also, like corn starch, the viscosity of traffic changes under pressure.

the belt makes more sense. you'll look like a douche with a headband.
hydrazine is used a lot in satellites and is some bad juju.
