Either way, I've found a fairly decent area of the country to stay, for the last few years of my life, and see no need to go through any such hassles ever again. If I can't drive there, I'm not going.
That isn't the geeky way to defeat the problem:-P
Some geeky options:
-- Pilots License/rent your own plane
-- Hot air balloon
-- Futurama tubes
-- Gauss Gun
-- Submarine
Somehow I fell as though you are in outer space. What was the subject again. 114 years being the limit. Hell there was this 130 year old monk in China once.
This is a poor idea because ultimately it is the quality of the code being committed, not the number of the commits.
Read the summary at least. This is about more than simply counting commits. This involves the quality of the commit meaning that if someone is having to modify those lines later or remove that commit etc. I think this is brilliant honestly. Your source control knows all modifications to the source tree and by what individuals. Analyze a developers impact on the codebase and you can derive that developers value to the organization.
...It's really a question of who's protecting him and why?...
This is Japan. Japan works on a culturally ingrained seniority system. Japan has the same problem with their Prime Ministers because the oldest, most senior person of the majority party gets the job. The guy who is the most burnt out and has no new ideas. Sony/Japan knows of no other way to select the next CEO then to give it to the guy who has done the right amount of time in the correct career path.
I recently met a friend who has been working for 20 years at one of the larger technical companies in Japan. I jokingly asked him when he would be CEO and he said never. This was because he had 0 chance of being CEO because his credentials out of school weren't the right ones. Abilities and passion are not variables in the decision.
And yet the bus doesn't depart until everyone is on board...
Since busses have finite space I assume that they would have to wait for some of the priority borders to die so that the rest of the people can get on that full bus. If not, an overbooked, full bus will leave people waiting for the next bus which will also have priority seating.
When was stealing software ever honorable? I did it when I was young, but I never did it for the honor.... It was a Pokemon... gotta catch em all type of thing.
Some people did it for the credits or leech access to some dump site... but... not honor.
Everyone knows that you need a backup plan. This guy should of clearly communicated and had a dead man switch setup. If this guy doesn't click a button on a webpage everyday then that torrent gets seeded. This guy should of practiced negotiating with his family before trying to negotiate with a US company.
Or you could try to do that, and utterly fail like 90%+ of the people who do.
Reference? I'm pretty sure I have seen quite a few people work their way through college and they did quite fine. This idea of starting out your post-college life with thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of debt can't be a good feeling.
The minimum cost of living is nearly twice the average pay of an uneducated person.
I did not "finish" college, but I don't consider college being the definition of "educated". Education can come from many different angles. I self-taught myself to program and do that pretty damn well. What programming theories did you learn in college that were applicable to a day to day job? Having mentored quite a few college grads, they are pretty green when they get out of college
but mostly for the fact that getting hired without a bachelors degree was literally impossible at the time.
Finally the truth and the reason that people are brainwashed into paying thousands of dollars for an education that doesn't really prepare them for the job market. The easiest example I always see is source control. Most college grads have never used any type of source control management so this ends up being the first thing that has to be taught to a new grad. If colleges were preparing people to be programmers.... that is a pretty big skillset to acquire.

Yeah, it seems to me most Windows computers up until very recently came with floppy drives by default.
Whats a floppy drive?
My wife was stopped for blowing a stop sign.
I would stop her to. That is a weird fetish.
Why not fully comply with a Cop
Your solution is to accept an invasion of your rights from a person in power because you can do some extra work to re-gain what was lost?

Why, oh WHY on earth?
I'm guessing this guy doesn't fly very often. Flying American Airlines is an opt-in to miss your flights, lost luggage, and have nobody care.

Not on wikipedia... I don't believe it.
They mostly empty at checkpoint... mostly.
so that people can have slightly cheaper water on plane rides
Since we did we start paying for non-alchohol drinks on planes?
What if Bruce Willis never woke up and the second part of the movie was all his dream?
I knew Ruby Rhod couldn't have done that show in real-life!

Sorry... modpoints expired today. This is one of the most insightful comments I have ever read on Slashdot.

Really? Half the members of the US senate have been convicted of serious offences that are punishable by time in jail?
sigh... I thought this was common knowledge:
60 Minutes
Wall Street Journal
Congress is exempt from insider trading laws.
Remember when warez was done with honor?

Yes... Nokia needs another open-soure OS to get behind since Maemo, MeeGo and Symbian weren't enough.
Gentoo...
This could open up cheap land to space communication.
No... if you read the article you will see that these waves are affected by radiation. Last time I checked, space has a lot of radiation.

This is all the fault of the M$ plant Elop.
Elop has no power over NSN. It is run by a separate board and CEO.
You could have five fingers and count in binary the number you get right. There are only twenty questions.
Great idea until your co-worker punches you at correct answer number 4.
You have 1 point left on your license.
Orange: Shit. We're tits up because we ran out of money developing this phone platform.
Orange is one of the largest Cell Companies in the world. They definitely are not bankrupt or even close. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(telecommunications)

They're going to take it to an island off New Zealand and clone it?
They declared it a cultural asset so... the fossil can't leave Germany... so no cloning:-(
