I want a recent-generation video card which works well with classic 8-bit ISA bus. I have at least one IBM XT-class machine I want to run Starcraft II on.
Have we created a new metric here of FPD (Frames Per Day)?
Not if you set up page swapping to the virtual memory you set up on you 5.25" floppy drive (DSDD, of course.)
Right! The more preparation and due diligence they have done before the interview, the better. They should check me out if they're going to work for me.
After all, that is just a damned creepy thing for an employer to do to its employees, even if it is feasible and legal.
I hire people to exercise fiduciary responsibility over large sums of money. I want to make very certain they don't have substance abuse, gambling, or other problems that could lead to temptations. Since I already do DOJ background and credit checks, there's nothing creepy about a Google/social media check. I also check the references you list and call the previous employers from whom you do not list a reference. Anything less is just sloppy hiring practice.
If there is a legitimate gripe it rests in the types of crimes that poor people commit falling to electronic detection while the crimes that the rich commit will usually not be detectable on film or in public areas. The rich man can still cheat on his taxes or alter his books for his business. What we may create is wealth being like a permit to commit crimes.
So, this must be that "class warfare" that the Republicans are all hotted up about.
Normally, one would write to your state's Attorney General. Judging from your comment about Rick Perry, that would be Greg Abbott, the AG of Texas. He's already suing Google, so he might be OK with this.
I'm really trying to remember the last time I thought a rent-a-cop was doing a better job than the local city police or deputy sheriff. Nope, hasn't happened yet. Do you folks not remember how screwed up this was before TSA was set up? It was horrid, which is why all these people supported setting up TSA in the first place.

No "but still" allowed here. The word for this chick is not "victim," it is "fence." She knew or should have known that she was accepting stolen property.
>(I did manage to minimize the ribbon and get rid of the task list on the right, so I do have a glimpse to the body of my emails, but I can't hide that damn people pane. Any tips would be appreciated. (Unfortunately uninstalling Outlook is not an option.))
Click the VIEW tab. On the right side of the ribbon click the unhelpfully designed "People Pane" button. Click on the "Die. Just Fucking Die" option. It will also inform you that it is part of the Microsoft Outlook Social Connector
Thanks for everything you've put into this. Good luck with whatever comes next. By my calculations,/. is neck and neck with Nethack for all-time leading time suck. Congratulations.
others believe it was the Higgs-boson particle (not string theory) that did it.
Care to name any?
I believe there is a scismatic branch of Pastafarianism that holds that the midget is actually a metaphorical representation of the Higgs-boson. Fortunately, the rigidly anti-dogmatic stance of mainstream FSM prevents anyone from really caring.
And, because the best way to enhance brand value is to piss of the few people who might actually care about it. Are the actually teaching Stupid in business school these days?
Riots have been going on in London for centuries, at least since the Peasant Revolt of 1381. I was amazed to learn that there is even a London Riot Re-enactment Society, sort of like the Civil War reenactors in the States, only a bit more tongue-in-cheek. The politicians are right to be worried, though. As I recall my history, a lot of London riots include a part where the Lord Mayor is dragged of of some hidey hole and hanged on a street corner. Heads on pikes are also traditional features. I'm pretty sure that the Gin Riots of 1743 took place without the aid of Black Berries.
>I have not seen grammatical flubs with this density since teaching english abroad.
Go to any American high school. Listen to the students. Worse yet, listen to the teachers. Follow this with an emergency trip to your therapist in a probably vain effort to stave off suicidal depression.
>This marks the 3rd study this month and the 4th major one this year, all with different conclusions.
If we were talking about anything else, the obvious conclusion would be that there isn't even evidence for correlation let alone causation. This will continue until the next Scary Thing (tm) comes along to replace cell phones and smart meters.
Yeah yeah, slashdot has the FAQ point about it being US-centric site. But including the word "world"? That maybe true for US, but it varies by country. For example Yandex is the largest search engine in Russia and Baidu is in China, and they both lead Google by miles.
Is that lead measured in number of users or revenue? In business, the latter is usually seen as more important.
You are wrong Coward. I get an itemized list from T-Mobile online anytime I want it at no charge. It lists every incoming and outgoing call with date, time and the other number.

The oldest bootable copy of the original linux on a 5.25 inch floppy is being auctioned.
Not forgetting the dingle-balls, chrome, chain-link steering wheel, and tangerine metalflake paint job.

I just assumed that all of the civilians had already been killed or fled to a neighboring country.

Benefits for the stupid perhaps.

Meh! You say, "External diseconomy," and I say, "Net income."

Hmmmm... A Canadian company wants to strip mine Nebraska for mineral resources. I guess I'm OK with that. TFA says the locals are excited.

No, they don't! Really. Please don't give them any ideas. It would suck. They always do.

This is not news. I am sure I read this story in Scientific American in 1963. Maybe 1964.
