Yeah. And we already have a central time. Let us use that.
That or variable days. Each 06:00 is sunruse and 18:00 is sunset. Work is from 07:00 to 14:00 instead of 09:00 till 17:00. That way everybody works still the same on avarage, but much more during summer and much less during winter.
There might be some minor issues that could easily be solved, I am sure.
one day I'm getting up after the sun is up then suddenly the next day I'm getting up and it's still dark.
Well, when the sun is up when I wake up, I call then SUNday. When not and the moon is still up, I call them Moonday.
Seriously, I have this 'jet lag' every weekend. During the week I go to sleep at mifnight or just a bit later. During the weekend this is around 04.00. Waking up is 07:00 during the week and 11:00 or later during the weekend. When I go out add about 2 hours to those times for the weekend.
If you need so much time to adapt, then I would say you have other problems.
That does not mean that daylight saving tinme is a good idea, because it isn't.
Nearly every ISP on the planet has terms of service, and almost all of them have provisions regarding the unauthorized distribution of copywritten material, child porn, hate speech, and so on.
However it is should not be up to the ISP to tel what is copywritten, what is hate speach or what is child porn. The only thing they can do when told about it (please let them not look actively for it) is to tell you that you MIGHT PROBABLY be doing something against the AUP, wich MIGHT if proven correct result in the ending of your contract.
This would indeed stop most people. However those that do not stop, can only be stopped if it goes to court.
In Belgium the court has basicaly said that if there is no money gained by the person distributing, they won't fllow up on it.
That means that the local MAFIAA can only tell the provider that somebody is downloading something. The provider can then tell the enduser and that is about where it stops. The provider is forbidden to give details to the MAFIAA. The MAFIAA can not contact the customer directly and they can not go to court to sue the customer.
So how can they enforce anything when they can not decide of what I am doing is illegal. Childporn is obviously something else. There the legal parties WILL bust your ass. The same with hate speech.
All that they can do is go to court and let THEM decide what will be done. The terms of service is mainly a protection for the provider that says: no matter what happens, it is all your fault and we can end servcie, no matter what.
Not only are people trying to get off as soon as possible. They are also stupid enough to try and stand with their heads bowed.
I either see that I am out first or last.
Also as I always had a boarding ticket with a seat (I fly only in Europe) I wait till everybody is checked in, wait a bit more and then see that I can go to my seat the moment that about 90% of the people is seated.
I see that I do not hold up the flight and I know they will not leave without me as my lugage is checked in and flying without me on board is considerd a danger.
That way I get in and out last. As an added bonus, my suitcase was often the last in and thus first out.
First you tell that it should be send in. Next you tell that it isn't possible with certain things. Now I could send you the printout of my idea that turns zeroes and ones into a program. I send in my 'hello world' and I have just been grated patents to program compiling.
It will stop ideas in general (which is good) but it won't stop programs from being patented.
and the community projects (Linux) could use the same things as the commercial projects (Mac and Windows) legally
They would sue for copyrigh infringement and corporate secrecy and such, which will lead us to back-engineer e.g. Word. Oh, wait, that is what we do now anyway. Even though the code is not under patents, does not mean it is suddenly available for all to download.
I still think it would be a good thing. However even more openness would be required to have real competition. Espeicialy the abilty to interact with a program from the outside.
The manager should be able to do that. The people he manages might not. As you said, he will be easier taken seriously. To me that is already a HUGE advantage compared to someone who is not taken seriously. So in a way you agree with me, which is nice.
Obviously the way you dress should not be the only thing, yet when you have two people and one dresses acording to the job, I would take him.
I have dressed down to get the job for a geek. I have dressed up for the function of manager. To me dresscode is just part of the job, any job.
Would it be great if it were different? Yes. Unfortunatly reality does not agree. Also it works the other way. Just because somebody walks around in a suitr does not mean he IS a suit and does not understand anything about what you do.
jeez, lighten up. Were there any people putting a gun to your head and force you to be one of the board members. So you have other interests then other people. Great.
I have done both and unless you are an asshole pointy haired boss, being a manager can be very satisfying. You can not only hack at the code, but also steer the company in a direction that you think is good.
e.g. you can start using the OS and/or programs you think (and know from experience) are better for the company in the mid and long term.
Instead of you just doing your one job, you can achieve more then just what one person can do. You can motivate people to do it. You can do much more that way.
Imagine that they would 'just' be coding. No, there is nothing shamefull in being a manager. There is something wrong of being an asshole, but they do not need to go together. I have worked for assholes who were not managers and managers who were not assholes.
Also a suit is not uncomfortable and the fact that they are overpriced depends on where you buy them. Obviously, if you only want to wear t-shirts to every ocasion, including your wedding, then you will not be managament material anyway.
The fact that you think your dresscode is more importand then the job you do, means you are not interested in people. Hence: not management material.
Come to Belgium. We have beer (real beer) in our MacDonalds and winetasting in the supermarkets. And on fairs, there is beer everywhere. I know many people who grew up as kids with drinking 'tafelbier' at their lunch.
Many banks in Belgium provide such a device. Some you need to enter your bank card, others you need to enter a code. The trend is to go towards machines that only come up with a nu,ber and are not connected to the PC.
So one is something you know (your code) the other is something you have (the number on the device) Your code for the website must be 6 characters long. The devices asks for 5 and your code for your card is 4.
What people often think is that longer passwords are more secure. That is only true if you have to remember just one password.
However I have at least 15 different logins and passwords to rememeber and I can imagine many people here have even more.
963... geometrically, it makes a nice line up the right side of the keypad, and the 2900 is trivial to remember as well.
Just as easy at to remember as any number that you can come up with. However it is the combination of all together that should be easy and that is not the case. 2900 or was it 9200? Or something else? Also not everybody understands the easieness of the geomatricaly placed numbers.
Personal anecdote. I am circumsised on a later age. I thus know what you are talking about and I know the differnce with and without. In the first few weeks you are extremely sensative.
I will not go into detail anymore then needed. However after a while the sensitivaty was back to normal.
For those who have boys as kids and they have too narrow a foreskin: do something about it before they reach puberty. There is no fund in having stiches and waking up with a woody (and unable to do anything about it for several weeks)
I live in Belgium and am unable to access www.youtube.com with a telnet on port 80. The same from an XS4All account in The Netherlands. I ahve also tried some 6 IP's and no reaction.
So I think this is more then just Pakistan blocking things.

RIAA is companies. John Doe is people.
Who has the most power in the US right now? Unless you do something to take your power back, they will go on a LOT more and deeper.
Obb: You must be new here.

Give it 10 more years and we can't affort to waste the energy on robots.

The same goes for hardware. Open up the specs.
All they need to do is throw in some hookers! And blackjack! In fact, forget obout the OS.
and then Europe closed Microsoft business completely in Europe.
