I work in healthcare and the model often used is Brenners Novice to Expert. This looks at the development of an individual in their practice. While a great model since it allows one to compare themselves to themselves and looking for improvement, it also promotes team work. Of course this is a little difficult to apply many software firms. Another model is using a 1-5 scale, where 5 is exceptional, 1 is unsatistifactory, 3 meets criteria, 4 is exceeds criteria, and then they tally these for whatever metrics used and divide to get an average.
Comparing staff to each other does not develop team work and only works in competitive environments like sales where you want people to outdo each other.
But the challenge is what people consider acceptable, you may have misclassified 100 people right now but there are plenty of people out there that would argue that if you stop one terrorist or criminal it may be worth the "inconvenience" endured by 1%
Think about how much raw power computers have today, and how for the most part we are just using that for word processing/email/internet/music/video. This is just an example of how to utilize this power. Its all about software now, this is just another example of how databases will continue to interact more and more. There are great possibilities for how this can be used (and horrible options as well) but think about medicine being able to identify a John Doe who is brought into the Emergency Department, or your home security system identifying who is knocking at the door.
And of course, this technology is not new, its just finally coming out for public usage.
Still skeptical on this one, nothing new and just a shiny interface for basically already existing services. And the facebook.com email address I feel will be a bad idea as it will confuse brand from its employees.
The challenge with this analysis is that it only focuses on a small component of the overall economy. The apple iPod is a great example of this, and areas where the US can develop and market these high tech items we can assemble them oversees as ultimately we will make the profit back here in the US. The challenge is that there are many elements of the economy that based soley on manufacturing and this is an area where China has an advantage. Also many companies that were historically american have been purchased by oversees holdings. Overall if you look at the flow of money for most parts of the US economy the money ends up in other countries. Ultimately to have a healthy economy you need both high tech and manufacturing balanced appropriately so your companies are not too dependent on other countries. This is where the US suffers the greatest
I say Catwomen and for a couple of reasons.
When getting the new suit it was mentioned that it would protect against dog bites, and then they mentioned cats in that same line.
But more in the themes that this franchise has had with underlying social storied, I think a new flame in bruce's life vs a new enemy would be a fitting continuation for the movie
Part of the difficulty is that websites today, are being built substantially larger than they used to be. People used to try to make websites that were only 30K big. Many websites are easily over 200K. Not much you can do to speed that up with dialup.
Besides left wondering how much, I wonder how long the projector's battery life is with all these bells and whistles?
But regardless I want one and cant wait to see the first person who hacks there to project holograms
We will always need a IT security. Because just like almost anything else out there in the technology field there are always ways around things and ways to break things. Take example the encryption techniques for HD-DVD etc. While some may argue that they implemented flawed security, the movie industry must have had some level of confidence in the security mechanisms when they first rolled the systems out. Same is true for almost everything else. I do though feel that if companies did do more quality control there would be a significantly less of a need for IT security and the amount they would spend making their product safer, would far be cheaper than what it costs to fix their problems.
But then they are able to extract from the picture a reflection in someone eye to see who is behind the photographer. Good stuff, I am obviously an unskilled photoshop user.
"bringing technology most commonly associated with combat zones to urban policing." now some might argue that LA is not that far away from being a combat zone.
I think that it is still relevant but the interest has dwindled a little. The value and importance of it is larger now than I think ever before because of many different new areas that are developing. Specifically the data possibilities. And having been involved in emergency work their value there is beyond anything I can describe. They have so much capabilities and the resources.
The challenge is that people dont have the time or interest for the learning curve necessary.
very good idea, I had a boss once who did that. Was in at work at 5AM and was going by 1. Most people admitted thought it was the commute but like you, he found the real value of just not having anyone else around for the first couple of hours. Invaluable for ones sanity.
make sure the springfield is outfitted with Trijicon Night Sights (it will help substantially if you have a nighttime problem) although the one noted above does have rails to get a tactical light mounted below the barrel.
I am one of those who beleives that personal safety starts with a 4 and ends with a 5. Of course this may not be the same sentiments of many here, and due to permit issues may not be practical for you.
Other items though that I would say are critical would be: some form of flashing (strobe?) beacon if you are in distress that will make it easy for others to find your locaation, portable radio (ham radio 146.52 if you have a license), cell phone, GPS, and a PDA with appropriate maps. (some of these items can easily be combined (phone, gps and pda) if you have the funds. And the other big one is water purification system.
There are things that should not be publicly available. But with that being said there is typically some problem with this:
-no oversight (I dont care what they say this govt was founded on a system of checks and balances and there should always be an independant form of oversight)
-the mentality we are going to keep this secret not because it is sensitive but because the public is stupid and cant handle the truth (ok some people are stupid, but the govt is suppose to serve us)
-the problem with the fact that they typically goof up the process of classifying things in the first place and that it eventually will get leaked out (the govt needs to do a better job at keeping secrets secret).
Understaffed? oh you dont even know the half of it. I was on a dept up in VT and the dispatching agency that also handled our 911 calls staffed one dispatcher per shift. They handled 18 different agencies, and answered 911 calls for 8 towns.

Crowdsource, I am sure there are many Amateur Radio Operators out there and others who would be interested in supporting your efforts

I hear the air force is looking for some computers for a Bot Net

Sounds like the Geneva convention needs to be updated to include technological attacks.

Of course, while PGP may solve some of these problems what is so bad about having some face to face time with your lawyer.

I agree completely, what a horrable thing to delete my porn

who says they are not part of an educational system. Besides is joining facebook really that hard?
