In a similar circular problem, there are in fact *MANY* civilian openings in IT at a variety of Air Force bases, and the GS level is indeed generally up in the 60K range. The trick is that most of these jobs are only open to "Internal" candidates, which means not only must you be a current DoD employee, but also already have IT experience. But trust me, I troll the Internal Job Board almost everyday, there are plenty 60k+ IT jobs available. 60k + paid holidays + no overtime + excellent medical... Hard to beat "Civil Service", at least Air Force style...
Sorry to say it, but this guy was on a "suicide mission". Whistleblower in Russia? The State Police are bad enough, the other guys are the Russian Mob. Good grief, either he's not married, or his wife has wisely left him bay now.
"Most places" have at-will employees (no contract), and can fire without cause. Indeed, it is much safer for the employer to fire for no reason, rather than a reason that they will then have to justify, possibly in court.
I suppose eating Chipotle before boarding a flight *could* be considered terrorism...
Even since the airlines stopped providing service, I hit one of the many "bistros" in the concourse and take on a large bowl of chili or some roast beast affair, and at least 2 pints of Bud, maybe a shot. Onboard, I pop open a crudité in a Rubbermaid, full of brok-oh-lie, radishes, celery, and cauliflower, with a big cup-o-ranch. Then I move on to a deli sandwich made at home or picked up along the way in. To finish it off, I try to pick up some spicy tuna rolls. Let's see them try to classify my gas as "terroristic".
Actually, most other passengers look a little jealous when I start laying out the buffet.
you didn't RTFA: "the vendor's chief representative reports that they had contacted the hotel management before the show and asked if there were any limitations on showing product in the suites.

Did he talk to the Manager or some other "supervisory" type? Or did he talk to some Front Desk Monkey? Perhaps he was given bad information?
...or maybe they just want to draw thousands of inexperienced developers into putting together a bunch of HTML and CSS that won't integrate in the UI...
Just change the scripting engine to PHP...
IT'S A JOKE...

And this is different than the current system how? Sure, there are TONS of great add-ons/plug-ins/whatever-they-are-called for FF, but honestly, the entry bar is pretty low, and for as many great ones there are, there are two crappy pieces of shit.
Regardless of the information density of his post, I disagree with his assertion that Hotmail should flip the 'autoreply' bit on these accounts. I do not think Hotmail wants to get involved in guessing whether or not someone intended to set any particular auto-reply message: "Surely, Mr. Jones, you didn't intend to drop an F-bomb in your auto-reply."
Even if the Hotmail user *DID* intend on being part of some Chinese SPAM, Hotmail has every right and even possibly some responsibility to not allow that particular use of their email system.
New cyber-monitoring measures have been quietly introduced in New Zealand giving police and Security Intelligence Service officers the power to monitor all aspects of someone's online life.
Who in the world thinks their "online life" can be kept secret from anyone? Good grief, you don't need to be the New Zealand Secret Service to dig around online to see what people are up to. Once again, if you don't want people to know what your doing, don't put it online for everyone (including the spooks) to see. The Interwebs are by their nature not private. And really, no one really cares what's on your Facebook except your uptight potential employer.
The reason that Amazon has the advantage over all the local retailers that it puts out of business, is because it plays by different rules. No, it's not right, and Amazon needs to start playing by the same rules as everyone else.
Maybe Google should take their ball and go home. They *are not* required to digitize millions of book for they general perusal of mankind, if they don't want to.
Let these selfish "library groups" wallow in the absence of Google Books.

If this rubs SF.net the wrong way so much, why do they continue to operate in the US?
Because, obviously, it doesn't mean *that* much to them. You know, huge fines and face time with Bernard Madoff...

it's not like there is no alternative to pay pal. Just use something else.
For example?
Most places require some reason to fire people.
Baloney, 100%.
"Most places" have at-will employees (no contract), and can fire without cause. Indeed, it is much safer for the employer to fire for no reason, rather than a reason that they will then have to justify, possibly in court.
How about more attention to what USERS want?
I know, I hear it all the time: "Hey, it's free. Don't like it, fork it...".
Well, ladies, this is why most FOSS never takes off. If that's what you wan't, fine, be a jerk to users who make suggestions...
But if you want to stir interest in your project, light a fire under it, not ignoring your USERS will help.
Unlike "RTFM" and "Fork it if you don't like it", which are synonyms for "Fuck Off".
No, these are the stories dependent on rehashing: a7544691c62afb529c23486bb82a295d
Their revenues are the only thing that lets them stand out from most of the rest of the OSS crowd as a truly professional piece of software.
Yes, the money grubbing does connect Mozilla to "true professionalism". But there is also the code bloat, feature creep.
The only thing that really marks Mozilla os "Open Source" these days is the total lack of interest in what the users want or think...

I think I'll just drive or take Amtrak.

Rah, rah, rah! Open standards! Who will not support that! It's got OSS Crunchy Goodness!
Actually, what I'd really like to see in FF is *LESS BLOAT* and some attention to memory management... I'll wait...

Yes, but can you imagine one of things encrusted with a week or two of dried bodily fluids and pubic hairs?
and some are simply exploiting loopholes and technicalities to meet their targets
Arn't "loopholes and technicalities" some of the things auditors are supposed to look for?

I wonder if Westerners are accepted at these places?
The Air Force banned 'em.
Not funnt, not relevent, basically worthless post. I'm sure you'll be modded "interesting" or "funny". Sad, very sad...
If you're snooping with plans to present it IN COURT, you'll still need permission.
Time and time again, the courts have accepted evidence that was improperly collected, with a "don't do it again, wink, wink, nod, nod..."

Yes, it would. IF this where what Goole was doing. But it's not.
