I run a spider. It seems over 95% of pages on the internet are content farm and similar randomly generated crap. They take a hundred sentence fragments, string them together, then see if they can fool Google and other engines into crawling them.
You will not be very happy if they stop filtering the garbage for you.
Emergency sanitation. Frozen pipes. Two weeks. you do the math. And if you're talking "can't open the door because of the snow", don't tell me "just do it outside in the snow".
Can't speak for the rest, but bathtub is a pretty good option for holding lots of waste. When the pipes thaw and water returns, bucket it into the toilet and flush, then wash/clean out the tub. There will not be any insect issues that temperature.
Incidentally, if anyone out there has suggestions on how to reliably test for race conditions, please speak up.
It's not easy but I have had good luck with pretty simple load generators and having the system put in random (from very long to zero) delays in the processes. Find lots of race conditions (short delays) and poor or missing interlocking (long delays).
The tricky part is making it replayable by recording the process step, random pieces of data used, and delays to a log which can be re-executed to prove the bug exists and prove the correction.
For really important systems I've run the random load generator for a month before sending the product out.
Sure they do. There are lots of small software shops that easily charge that amount for 8 months work; and just see what happens if you want 8 months work out of a 4 man development team at your local IBM shop.
More to the point, what would you expect a developer to charge if their payment was dependent on financial success of the product they created? I.e. The software shop gets nothing if the software doesn't make money.
Of course, you will still want to have high-priority and low-priority data. So your voice communications data will still be purchased in a different lump than your regular "whenever you get to it" data.
Password syncing is what I really want. For the most part I can remember the websites but remembering the individual password used for each is virtually impossible.
The jobs of the CEO and his/her pals will be staying, of course.
That's not true, actually.
There are several examples of companies which outsourced production and later design to a 3rd party firm. These companies now have direct competition from the companies they outsourced to as the 3rd party gained through experience or hired lower cost senior management roles.
The original company now has zero internal knowledge except how to import the good but higher overhead costs. At best, they may survive as a highly specialized importer, but most will not survive.
At least one Chinese manufacturer I know of is running into this problem now. They exported manufacturing work to Indonesia and, of course, now that remote manufacturer is bidding directly to their clients.
They have installed a recovery disk exactly where it is needed when you have problems on the road.
Most devices are laptops. A recovery disk that is at home is of zero use to me when I'm in a hotel. How many people used to carry their recovery CDs with them everywhere they went with their laptops? How does that compare to harddisk failure in a laptop?
Better still might be to put it on a separate flash chip embedded inside the device.
They stole your card so they can probably steal your cash which will also not get refunded by the bank.
Better to use a debit card and keep a low value of funds in the account that it can access. Top up as necessary from a different account or a different bank entirely which is not accessible in any way through the card.
Now you get a bit of added security the card offers over cash but you also limit your losses in the event of theft because it is treated like cash (balance limited to typical daily use).
The stats for some of my cities intersections clearly show a decrease in the T-Bones and an increase in rear-endings. Stats are not public.
If you believe T-Bones are the more fatal of the two, then the trade-off is likely appropriate. Note, light timing did not change and there are 100+ intersections with camera boxes but only a handful actually have a camera installed (randomly rotated).
Both operating systems allow a user program to access, modify, and delete content in the users home directory; can automatically start background tasks at user login by modifying.profile or.bashrc or similar; and will allow external communications for user executed programs on high ports.
A trojan would work just as well with a person on Linux as it does for that same person on Windows but the odds of that person using Linux at the moment is lower and there isn't critical mass for it to spread.
I'm far far more protective of the contents of/home than I am/usr. Do whatever you want to/usr, it takes less than 10 minutes to reinstall but the contents of/home can represent significantly more work.
So, don't auto-patch or communicate with a central server.
Is it okay for the client to check a URL to see if there is an update, then ask the client if they want to install? If so, there is your work around. If not, can you get the persons email address and broadcast new releases?
Same idea for scores. Push out new high scores with new versions of the game (they shouldn't change that often).
If a user gets a new highscore ask them if they want to submit and prepare a signed text block for an email that the game can send directly or the user can copy+paste into a message on their own. Technically there is no central server necessity anymore.
Voila, now you can use the game portals. Oddly enough, it sounds like your team needs a problem solver.
If you start with devout swingers already attracted to each-other then there really wouldn't be much sexual tension either as it would be continuously relieved and there is little risk of someone being left out.
It makes sense that they would push the news their biggest customers want.
They will chase revenue. Some of the trading news feeds are pretty thorough for disasters though obviously their focus is who the plane crash will impact.

You can left-click the icon in the taskbar to minimize and restore on Gnome as well. That has worked for quite a few years as I recall.
Windows is really easy to lock down and control from a central location in a corporate environment.
I can't even imagine what deploying and maintaining 1000+ macs would be like.

You can assume they're using a version currently under development.

Both sides are allowed to find and present expert witnesses to explain these things to the jury.
So it's easier to hack?
How is Slashdot being opensource reassuring? I certainly cannot fix the code on the server where it is running.
Yes, and an Air Conditioner plus an EV will use more electricity than the AIR unit.
People aren't going to turn off the AIR to charge their car.
Sure they do. There are lots of small software shops that easily charge that amount for 8 months work; and just see what happens if you want 8 months work out of a 4 man development team at your local IBM shop.

Facebooks knows anything about you that 3rd parties (friends, family, etc.) might tell them too.
I didn't create an account or provide any information to facebook; yet there are bits and pieces of information on it about me.

There are more ethical business people in China than the United States. There's lots more unethical ones too.

Can't or simply isn't? I find it difficult to believe a protocol could not be created to accomplish this.
In the US, there is a good chance they do have the right to look at anything you take out of the building.
I wonder how a group of swingers would fair?
If you start with devout swingers already attracted to each-other then there really wouldn't be much sexual tension either as it would be continuously relieved and there is little risk of someone being left out.
Bomb all data centers located outside of North America!
