    I listened to a topic on NPR this morning regarding these issues. Engineers have stated that radio interference has not been effectively prevented and that no trials have passed with favorable enough result to limit this type of interference. I'm curious what ideas are being kicked around to solve this problem.

    I'm working with local business in Downtown Parkersburg, WV to do the same thing. However, a few local business are already doing this for-fee. Anyone have any input regarding our stepping on the toes of these companies?

    I've never done anything like this so I'm curious if anyone has an opinion what precautions I should take to protect myself. We're trying to roll this out as quickly as possible as a movie begins filming in out humble town this month. We think we'll be able to draw a lot of attention to "ground-zero" for our network which just happens to be our Cultural Arts Center and the location for a film festival going on at the end of the month.

    TIA

    ...do you know where your children are?

    You should! Personally, I love the game. However, I would never let my child play it.

    That reminds my of something I heard once regarding children repeating what they see in movies/video games, "If that were true, then all of us that played Pac Man would be running around listening to repetitive dance music and eating little pills." This refers to the rave scene, of course. To which I was once a willing participant.

    A month ago you said, "I was punted from one job as a contractor after 3 months because the manufacturing moved to China. I was punted from another job after 6 months because the firmware and manufacturer moved to China and India. So I joined up with a small company as a consultant, and I'm working a job for both of my previous employers, making 1.5x what I was before!"

    </bullshit>

    Your situation get's better with every post. How can be down? See the above in context here:

  7. Does this mean we don't get our bonus? on EA's Profits Up, Workers Get Layoffs · · Score: 1

    A friend works in one of the California studios and makes, well - a lot more than I do. I find it interesting that whenever they get ahead of schedule or finish early, they get extra vacations or sabbaticals. It's not unusual for his to go on a company sponsored cruise or vacation 2 times a year and then get a paid 2 month sabbatical. I'm starting to think this is [actually] more about a bad game than corporate cutting the fat.

  10. Re:What about a notebook and a case system? on The Analysis of Workflow Analysis? · · Score: 1

    I really like the idea of using a wiki to make the analysis available to both the clients and the programmers. We use a homegrown CASE tool which - leaves a lot to be desired. The biggest problem with our market are the vast differences in work flows between clients. Trying to think of the right questions when taking into consideration local laws proves to be a huge task. I was surprised to discover that a practice in one state regarding criminal procedure could actually be unlawful in another state. Then, there is always the issue regarding law interpretation. Different counties within a given state can vary greatly their interpretation of state laws. These items, coupled with non-technical end users and sub-standard county IT staff make for a wonderful challenge. Thanks for your insight.

  11. Re:I hate to be obvious, but it has to be said. on The Analysis of Workflow Analysis? · · Score: 1

    There lies the rub - judges et al court staff are not very receptive to my bringing a laptop into our gap analysis sessions. I thought I would try recording my conversations, but found that to be even more difficult.

    So, I've reverted to pad and paper.

    Long story made short:

    One court wanted to go paperless ...even found nifty little LCD's about the size of letter sized paper so that judge could view the docket electronically.

    What I thought was a good solution was, "...an insulting presumption." Judges and tech just don't mix. Maybe the next generation ...
