I'm 25 now, have been at my company for 4 years. For the first 3 years I was by far the youngest person in the department of 300. When the most senior programmer declared his intentions to retire management realized that they needed to hire a bunch of younger workers and get them trained while the senior guys were still around. So now we're supposedly looking for a few more programmers fresh from college.
From TFA: What we provide is primarily an implementation of Web services standards to allow people to build services, and the primary goal is also for us to provide a set of pre-defined services that allow you to use Web services protocols to interact to request the allocation of compute resources, the creation of computational services and moving the data from one place to another and so forth.
Does this sound like Carly Fiorina attempting to explain HP's strategy to anyone else?
The difference is that in China it is possible to designate an area for Nuclear Waste storage and tell any residents that they need to move. I'd say they'll have a much easier time with storage than we do here in the US.
What I'm really missing is multiple outgoing servers. I run TB on my laptop but only send mail from this address when I'm at home because I really don't feel like messing with the settings 3x per day.
Yeah, I could set up something on my home linux box to route my email from anywhere I happen to be. But that's not a solution everyone can implement...
As far as a killer feature to get people to switch to Thunderbird, I don't really know. A lot of the internet community is migrating to web-based email . Some users because they don't know what the alternatives are. Other users because they can access it from anywhere. Is there any way to gain marketshare from the web-based users? Could Thunderbird be stripped down to run as a web service on UXL through Firefox?
Conditional Sums. I believe these are also called Array Forumulas.
I'm having a hard time explaining what they do. When a Pivot Table won't work, I use these.
Not every election. Probably for the first few times they are used. Once people are satisfied that the electronic count matches the paper one, only the close races or the ones that don't match statisitical expectations will be recounted.
The argument for electronic voting that most people gloss over is that it (has the potential) to provide a much better interface for the voter. How many people would be confused about who they voted for if they were required to press the picture of a face? This doesn't reduce the number of recounts that may be required. What it does do is eliminate the need to 'determine the intent' of the voter. And reduces the number of invalid ballots. This was the real scandal in Florida '00.
One of the symptoms of ADD is that you can hyperfocus on one thing you're really interested in very easily, but it is really hard to focus on other things.
This happened to me once. Was driving an '82 K car, so there certainly weren't any fancy electronics in it, let alone cruise control.
The brakes were more than adequate to overpower the engine at full throttle, however.;-)
Didn't find anything wrong with the car and it never happened again.
Thank you for making the first post with a rational explanation (that I've seen).
According to this article, they are making 2 changes in their accounting practices. 1) The one you already explained about recongizing the revenue per day, and 2) Shifting some recognition from the first month of the contract to the final month. (Which you mentioned but didn't elaborate on.)
The effects of the first change should be small, since it is just making their accounting more fine-grained.
The effects of the second change could be big. It will shrink a LOT of their older statements, and help to make their current statements look bigger than they would have been otherwise. I don't know enough about accounting to say if this is a more 'correct' way to account for the revenue, but if I were a cynic I'd say it is a convenient way for them to make their current and future earnings look larger...
There are probably going to be a million similar posts by the time I'm done writing this, but I'll give it a stab.
There are a lot of spyware apps that pretend to be something useful. Pop-up blockers, IE bar plugins, etc. Google directly competes with these.
By drawing a line in the sand, Google is making sure they are able to differentiate themselves in the eyes of the public. We all know that the fight against spyware is starting to heat up. By addressing this proactively they are more likely to be heard by the ears who matter. Slashdotters already know the diffrence between the Google bar and spyware, but not all users do. And as we all know, most of the people who draft/pass/enforce laws are clueless users.
Prior to the Sonny Bono Act + DMCA changes to copywright laws, all Copywrighted work needed to be registered with the government. The question this case raises is now that copywrights are granted automatically at the time the work is created and no registration is necessary, there is no way to tell what the abandonware is, so everything is protected for life+70.
The original copywright law provided for 14 years plus the option for another 14. The author had to explicitly come forward and request that the work remain copywrighted after a certain period of time. That is fundamentally different than the current copywright laws.
An anti-static bag is... anti-STATIC
If you want a Faraday cage to block the radio waves the metal wires forming the cage need to be more precise than what they put into those anti-static bags.

It looks like they are only interested in hearing complaints of Indecency/Obscenity. What can we complain about that they won't ignore?
Unfortunately most drivers don't pay attention to this law despite the state spending lots of money for signs reminding them.

According to Google, mach 10 = 3.4029 kilometers / second Warp 1 = speed of light = 299,792.458 km/s Therefore Mach 10 is roughly equal to warp .000001
First google result for hyperfocus

Don't forget that if they get bought out, the lawyers get 20%...

I believe that was Freddy Mac, see the post above yours.

It doesn't look like that has a built in firewall, so this new Comcast box will still be able to detect your extra machines and drop your access.
Good thing 1M times more powerful is only 20 doublings or 30 years under Moore's Law.
Today's top supercomputer does 35 Teraflops. Doubled 400 times is a stupifyingly large number.

No luck here. Looks like we took that one out too.
Now you just need to write it up as a business process and patent it!
