"Catching up on lost sleep?" Give me a break. It's only an extra hour of work per day, and in the end you get it back in the form of a 3 day weekend. Depending on ones locale that extra hour of work may equal 30-40 extra minutes of commute time.
To overcome IT bottleneck (yes, it happens that IT just does not deliver) Typically, this is reason I've seen. Of course, it is never quite that simple, more often than not, PHB wants something really fast, avg. joe tries to take initiative, does a quick one-off script etc. And no one wants to take the time to sit down and do a proper planning session for this now critical business process. Of course the high priest mentality of "only IT folks" shall mess w/ the data can lead to a different sort of bottle neck.
It starts out innocently enough - a couple sheets here or there - maybe a long weekend working out a household budget. It's all good fun. By the time you realize a problem, though, you're hitting the 65k row limit. You're writing VBA and macros, you're embedding external data sources - and haven't backed up your work for days. It drives you insane and causes brain damage. Isn't that just like emacs(though replace VBA w/Lisp)? PS captcha: jittery ha!
Don't forget the regulator leader(Sonora Cruz) who will spaz out if there are enemies outside the Regulator HQ and run off never to be found. Oh and the enemies spawning appears to be random, the fix for this is just use the console and resurrect and bring to player(Xbox and PS3 are probably out of luck). The other glitch is if you kill unnammed Brotherhood outcasts you get a finger(indicating bad people), but kill the named outcasts and you lose karma, wtf?
I don't know if you wanna count this as the first chink in the army but the fact is no-one is flawless. Oh I don't know if you were going for a +6 super ironic moderation with this statement put the proper phrase would be "chink in the armor" which comes from old english cine "crack". Your phrase sounds like a chiniese american(perjorative) has joined the armed forces. Somehow it's at +5 insightful
All kidding aside, I don't know how much Jobs or Gates can be considered engineers or developers any longer. Does anyone really know how long it's been since either of these guys has done hands-on anything? There's an old saying about if all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail, well a corollary to that would be if all you have is a finance/accounting degree then everything looks like an expense. Thus finance guys do a poor job of leading companines whose business is primarily innovation. Thus you get GM run by accountants instead of engineers, no real change or innovation and GM dies. Now you need the finance guys to help rein in the engineers otherwise you'll create and fund innovations that don't sell.
Granted this would all have to be tested in court, but particpating in a war as a private citizen is generally discouraged, if not illegal in many cases. At least without a Letter of marque.
I don't see why the CC's would stop broadcasting analog over their wires. New rolllout of more expensive set top boxes that use digital so now more bandwidth can be allocated to delivering on demand programming(a nice cash cow) and an excuse to raise fees. But for now they have been advertising that your analog tv will work hooked up to cable. Mind you this is the same cable company that moved HBO to digital only so to watch the Sopranos in more than one room required another digital box. Long story short give it a year and magically, the cable company will stop pushing an analog signal down their wires.
The amount of disdain you have for New Yorkers borders on the amount of homophobia you would find from a closeted homosexual. I'm not saying you're a closet New Yorker, but that's just what it comes off as... just saying... Gee, psychoanalyze much? Typical New Yorker.
You'd have to provide some evidence that most foreclosures are investment properties. More likely everyone believed that they'd be able to refinance out of their ARM on their primary (read:only) house, because "home values all ways go up." When that wasn't the case you get what we see now. Even more likely, cheap easy credit, a lemming effect(3 diff. reality shows on how to "flip" houses) lead to house valuations going up which caused a positive feed back loop. So yes, all those bored housewives who took out a second mortgage to qualify for several interest only mortgages on several fixer uppers(in the hottest real-estate markets) hoping a new coat of paint and speculative inflation would help them make a quick buck did contribute to the bubble and corresponding fallout.
Drop a few $$$ and if you go with escorts rather than a street walker you're probably going to be with a girl 10x better looking than you could have just randomly hooked up with anyways. Gov. Spitzer is that you?
You want the simple answer: They're the boss. It's their computer, and they can do whatever the f*ck they want. Oh I know all about that mentality, however my rant was not directed at you(the poor soul following orders) but the idiot at the top who thinks he knows exactly how each person should do their work. For your previous example it is not a computer, but a goddamned web kiosk you're setting up. No problem. Again my rant is directed to those who think a top down, I like our web portal(broken as it is) and all shall use it is the best policy. The insightful rating of the parent post indicates my dislike of this policy is not unique.
...plus add the ability to control things like the home page via Group Policy, they'll be set. Why oh why does the world think the need this level of granular control? To all the PHB out there who think your so smart to make the bloated ass corp intranet site everyones' home page and then lock that down, you need to find better ways to spend your time. Let me set the damn thing to about:blank and I'll use the portal when I need to rather than everytime I fire up a browser.
ABS is for Joe Public, not Lewis Hamilton. If it was good enough for Senna, Prost, and Mansell it should be good enough for Lewis Hamilton. Hell, it might have even saved him at the 2007 Chinese Grand Prix.
Now I can't find any good numbers on the efficiency of this "beaming" energy back to earth... I saw a documentary on this the other day on Japanese televison. I think it was called Gundam 00. We use space elevators to pipe the energy back down to earth and everything turns out ok until some long dead scientist sends some giant mobile suits to end all conflicts on earth.
For instance if you own an average sized house in Westchester County just 30 minutes north of New York City, don't be surprised to see a property tax bill of $10,000 to $30,000 / year. Pray tell what does an average size house in West Chester County cost? Then talk about taxes.
With that logic, the UK can prevent everyone from being president, by declaring all US citizens are UK citizens as well. Idiots. Not since 1815 has this been true, but shine on you crazy diamond
No, your character is just a wus.:) I drop giant radscorpions effortlessly.
Actually, it's the lack of critical inducing headshot location for the radscorps which makes killing them a pain. And how many scorpions are native to the Washington DC area anyway?
Hopefully nobody tries to put 6million of your relatives "in the gas chamber."
Hell, I've got karma to burn, NEWSFLASH millions of non jews also died in the gas chambers(Poles, Slavs, Gypsies, German communists, anybody the nazis didn't like).
They should take a Greek political history course or something. Like perhaps read the federalist papers or the major philosphical works of the political scientists of the time the Constitution was written? This is madness!
he wore a hockey mask with some sort of mesh over his face and actually stuffed his balls into a tomato paste can to keep them from cooking. Seems to me this fellow was just looking for an excuse to stick his scrotum in a tomato paste can. Did he chant master cylinder while doing so? The original designer was waging a war against boom box cars and other sonic terrorists So bathing everybody else with RF was an acceptable countermeasure? Who was the terrorist here?

Well, I don't watch any TV, let alone news

Paper originals of the Magna Carta still exist today.
I doubt it's paper, more likely it is sheepskin parchment or vellum.

Gov. Spitzer is that you?
Why is it only the trolls who know the difference between loose and lose?
Everything you could ever want is avaliable for free
An app that provides cut and paste?
