Just left Intel recently as part of their "realignment" after 17 years. I have had some of the best managers there, but recently (and the reason for my exit) was one of the foulest most demeaning managers I've ever worked for (not the worst, that was a white South African who bragged about beating confessions out of black people while he was a cop there), but pretty damn close.
The other good quality about a large company (now that I'm at a tiny 40 something person company) is better retirement plans and better healthcare plans (in the USA at least).
Granted, but I think that Kaspersky knows what to look for in designing a secure OS. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt that they've done a solid job building an embedded OS.
They would all *happily* move on from them, but the legal precedent (and IIRC there are also explicit laws on the books) is that faxes are legal documents while e-mailed PDFs are not. -nB
Then look at the people who print out a document, redline it with a pen, then type the redlines into the softcopy file they just printed out.
This is a valid use case. Proofing on paper is vastly different than proofing on the screen, especially if for something that is final output to paper. You're not only looking at spelling, grammar, word choice, etc. you're looking at layout, font, flow, margining, and all the other things that go into it. Add to that the tactile response of a good pen...
Yes you could use a stylus and tablet... but it's not the same. Eye fatigue is higher with screens as well. -nB
Paper map in a strange city and they might as well be hopelessly lost... even though their destination is literally only a block and a half around a corner.
Solution: tabletop RPG where the map is integral to the game. Get your kids interested in gaming like D&D, GammeWorld, etc. Does some awesome things: * interaction with your kids not electronic based * teaches critical thinking and cost benefit analysis * teaches ways and means * teaches map reading
Kaiser has *nearly* made it to the paperless hospital point. Routine doctor visits etc. are paperless. ER / Hospital in-patient still has some paper while you're in crisis, once stable that paper is scanned in and you're paperless again.
RadioShack was: "You've got questions, we've got blank stares". *sigh* They used to be a good company, even if a bit expensive, for components and such. I remember having their "free battery of the month club" cards and going to different stores with different cards to get enough batteries for my projects. Then they abandoned the hobbiest market. Went out of business shortly thereafter. -nB
machine likely ran worse than if there really was a virus, what with three separate on-access scanners running, and three packet sniffers slowing down internet traffic...
That's TAO/NSA not FBI...
I for one would find it an interesting exercise in jurisprudence for the FBI to be indicted in a foreign court for cyberwarfare.
Or for Quantico, VA to be bombed in retaliation...
you would be (profoundly) sadly surprised at the level of naivety most of the judicial has about computers beyond using them for office related apps.
yup.
Works even better if you have a reputation for blurting everything out.
And you can tell which titles those are because it's a "generic" disk with monochrome silkscreen.

He came on board through an acquisition.
Also to clarify:
Beat confessions out of known innocent black people to save known guilty white suspects.
Karma has had it's way with him from what I've heard.
~15PB
Yup.
Doesn't matter how good you are at your job...
Piss off the wrong manager and you're done for (BDDT after 17 flawless years).

Wait so we just filled in #2?
1) Start making diamonds using CVD and marketing them as gems
2) Sell out to DeBeers at a steep markup
3) Profit!
*mind blown*
I do find the retort "Am I stupid? Once I answer you'd take a screengrab," rather humorous though.
Then what.
Those that left, fine. Those that chose to stay will still need care.
Mind, I *totally* agree with you.

That said, source would be nice to see...

M: Yes, but I came here for an argument!!
A: OH! Oh! I'm sorry! This is abuse!
M: Oh! Oh I see!
A: Aha! No, you want room 12A, next door.
M: Oh...Sorry...
A: Not at all!
odd, I get *nothing*.
Unless I'm asking for a doctor's note, and even then it's a PDF in my e-mail to print out half the time...
Not actually sure, but could this be considered as an abuse of position (monopolistic activity)?

GammaWorld... /sigh
Does not teach:

This is a *real* issue for the mellineal crowd.

All site and user data has been destroyed.
I hope this statement is true (particularly the userdata part).
yup, my ex still has an AOL e-mail addy. :/
Interestingly I can't forward email to her from my mailserver, AOL's servers bounce mail forward.
