How about phrasing the statement this way:
What's not clear, though, is how many unemployed techies aren't being counted because they've abandoned available jobs due to "unfavorable" work conditions.
I have been a victim so to speak. You see, I got a job but the employer wanted me to get "up-to-date" certification at my cost, at my time and then commit to working 5 days a week and being on-call at least one weekend every 6 weeks for the first year, then on-call for one of the weekends in two months.
Needless to say, I declined the offer....still looking.
Today's lesson: maybe you shouldn't pay a billion dollars dollars for a service that users can easily drop and replace with dozens of other similar services...
Getting ranked as a safe car by the insurance trade groups will help sales with some demographics.
That is until all the complexity becomes too compex to manage. We're already seeing results of all the sensors in today's cars. Dust, like heat, humidity and handling will make them malfunction.
To make matters worse, some sensors are "programmed to fail" or to indicate potential failure even when they are still good. All this to make the driver visit a dealership, where he's advised to dole out cash 'or else..."
Well, I visited some African country that lies straight on the Equautor. As an individual from the west, I arrived with my prejudices that this country would be nautrally hotter than my home land.
I was wrong! The temperature, right at the equator was no more than 28 degrees celcius (82.4 degrees F). I was suprised. The locals told me it had to do with their altitude, which is much higher.
When I called my family, they had sympathy for the "hot weather". My repeated advice to them that my homeland (Texas) was hotter was difficult to believe.
Sad thing is that I am not alone. Almost everyone I have told this story still thinks, "If it's at the equator, it must be hot hot hot."
I later found out they even have a river, whose waters come from ice...right at the equator! Amazing!
These findings confirm that the stage is still Scud-level technology.
The sub-text being that it's not that great a technology. They underestimate the fact that the rocket/missile can still inflict damage if the North Koreans decided to.
after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Friday the fish didn't appear likely to pose a threat to the environment or to humans who eat it.
...the fish didn't appear likely to pose a threat...
Emphasis mine...
Not appearing likely doesn't mean "will not!" And these people are playing with tax payers' tax dollars.
My hope is that they'll label the Biotech products as such at the point of sale, so that the consumer can choose. But the fellas on the other side and their supporters will oppose any such motion. After all they are about making money, Not serving interests of consumers.
While I love the Google's Chrome browser, it is my opinion that its UI is getting tired. Anyone agree? A refresh wouldn't do any harm at this point. Would it?
This isn't to troll, but I am sorry to say, that VLC versions 2.x.x and up were too slow for my liking compared to the 1.x.x seies. Talk of "improving the customer experience!"
Needless to say, I abandoned ship! On Android, I have discovered BSPlayer FREE . This is one player that will not throw errors at the multiple video formats I've thrown at it. VLC on Android isn't even out of beta! On windows, it chokes and sucks big time!
Microsoft Kills Expression Suite â" And Makes It Free, For Now
This is what will happen next:
Like earlier versions of MS Office, in the days when WordPerfect was king, Microsoft made these versions free.
Guess what! It worked.
There are free alternatives and better paid-for ones, but they're all grassing for attention.
We now have a situation whereby professional desktop document editing has become synonymous with MS Office.
A true, tried and proven modus operandi.

IQ 'a Myth,' Study Says
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
'There is no such thing as a single measure of IQ or a measure of general intelligence.'
I once taught a mixture of kids from so called "3rd world environments", who also had very low IQ scores compared to the typical "exposed" American kids.
In my 11 years of teaching, not once did our American kids score better than the "3rd world" kids at all! This was despite the fact that these poor kids had to learn English grammar. Heck, one of them even reminded me of a few math tricks that I employed myself while in school.
I once escorted one such kid to her parent, and it was a shock to hear her switch to some foreign tongue before switching to English in order to introduce me. This particular kid is now at BP in Texas, and still writes to me. Incredible!
...countries like India and China have serious, governmental efforts to use LFTRs...
Over here in these United States, folks on the Right will loathe any government involvement in projects like these, despite the fact that the internet is largely an effort of the government...and oh I forget the interstate highways.
As they (the Right) squabble, governments in the East are investing billions and will surpass us in relevancy before we even know it. A sad state of affairs.
It's been a while, 3 years to be exact, since I last touched KDE. Has it improved in any measurable way at all? Is it worth a re-try? What will I find exciting? I am inclined to think, "nothing at all!"
'We try pretty hard to make our products be available as widely as we can. That's our philosophy. I think sometimes we're allowed to do that. Sometimes we're not.'"

I think sometimes we're allowed to do that. Sometimes we're not, because of our perceived one sided revenue model as interpreted by the some in the newspaper industry for example.
"...PHP encourages sloppy programming and lack of separation of concerns by sticking a lot of business logic in the presentation layer..."
Dude, I disagree with this statement. Why? Because the choice of where to place business logic lies entirely on the coder. It isn't an attribute you'll find tied to a system just because it employs a particular a language, in this case PHP as you say. The same can be said about Microsoft's Visual Basic as used on its JET DB engine found in MS Access.
"...new service called the Private Channel for Google Apps, which gives enterprises and other organizations the ability to create private app stores and control the apps their users can download..."
This is Facebook's idea. It might sue. Just saying.

Care to name just one of the dozens?
Or should I say you're trolling?
Yes, I believe most of those that bought Nokia's Windows Phones didn't know they were buying into Microsoft's phone OS.
Most of them must have bought Nokia phones because the word "NOKIA" featured prominently on the phones. Not because they featured Windows Phone 8.
All this reminds me of those early Net-book days running Linux, remember?

The phone should be aesthetically beautiful. I know the internals will be well taken care of.
In othewords, the phone should be catch one's eye. Not some generic ugly slab.

The bigger problem in my opinion is to have to face the fact that any movement has to be in one direction - DOWN!! And that's when people notice.
... whether all this was worth it.
I mean, Apple executives will be asking themselves whether the publicity given to Samsung, is worth the time/cash spent on the trial.
I personally doubt that it was worth it.
nuff said.
If you look at their own website, their past predictions seem to have come up short! Sounds like a very good job a guess work!
Sadly, because it's from IBM, folks will listen and accordingly provide airtime for what I call a very good marketing job. Go IBM!!

Why doesn't the UN create its own internet and control that, like Iran has or intends to do?
This is exactly what the Greeks thought they didn't have to face. This was about two decades ago.
Needless to say, they now have to "face the music" or call it their problem , and have a taste of what the real world is like.
They aren't merry making now, are they?
