If they're working on "secret" projects, I'm presuming this means the issue with not saving ones preferences for viewing comments will never get resolved.

Such a simple thing, saving ones preferences, and that can't be done right. I can only imagine what these "secret" projects will be.
Then again, this is what happens when you let programmers design your application and web designers design your site.
Of course the best thing you can do for the environment is not have any antenna gobbling-up any power at all.
What? Are you crazy! This is technology! We must embrace it because it's new and hip and the next best thing since sliced bread so you can be notified of the newest whiz-bang piece of technology which came out three seconds ago.
If you're not connected every second of every day, with the ability to instantly respond, you're not living life to the fullest. How are businesses supposed to notify you of their latest offerings if you're not connected?
This is a situation where the page should have locked to prevent the edit wars. Granted, no one knew who the VP pick was going to be, but as soon as humanly possible, the page should have been locked down and only selected individuals allowed to edit it for completeness, not remove things which, while not necessarily relevant, give a broader picture of who the person is.
but I'd probably be excluded from most juries for knowing more than two amendments.
No, they would want you on a jury because you don't grasp what jurisdiction is. As the blurb states, this is being tried in State court, not Federal where the first trial was held. Double Jeopardy does not apply because of a different jurisdiction.
You can be tried for the same crime so long as it is done in a different jurisdiction or in a different proceeding. It's similar to someone being brought to trial for a criminal case, then going back to court for essentially the same thing in civil court. Think OJ Simpson. He was found not guilty in the criminal case, but lost the civil case.
I use the phrase, "If I had a dime for every time these morons keep asking the same question." I keep adding up how much money I would have if I did charge a dime per dumb question.
It's in their interests to get people to bank online - it is significantly cheaper than hiring tellers.
So like ATMs and how they were supposed to save everyone time and money because you didn't have to visit a bank with a live person but which now you have to pay to get your money out if the ATM isn't from your bank?
One can disagree with the decision all one wants, but it was his to make.
No, it's not. Nowhere in the law did it say it was a tax. During the discussion of creating the law, the word tax was not used. The President even made repeated efforts to state it wasn't a tax. Roberts interpreted the law to mean something which none of the people who pushed for the law said it was.
He did the very thing that conservatives whine all the time about judges, which is he was an activist judge. He read into the law something which wasn't there.
Had it been a tax, it would have been spelled out clearly in the legislation. That word, tax, is nowhere to be found. Therefore, it is not a tax, Roberts chose politics above law and he did legislate from the bench.
Do we really want our political leaders decided on baseless rumors, guilt until the target proves innocence, and purely partisan/tribal cheerleading?
You mean like Obama isn't an American citizen because he doesn't have an original birth certificate? That kind of baseless rumors, guilt until proven innocent and purely partisan/tribal cheerleading?
If the court perceives that to render a judgement would effectively be legislating, they are not permitted to do that,
Tell that to John Roberts because that's exactly what he did when he decided that forcing people to pay for other people's medical bills is a tax even though the word tax was not used in the legislation and the President himself has said the bill is not a tax.
Roberts legislated from the bench when he decided to make a political rather than legal decision, effectively handing the presidency to Romney.
So what you're saying is you're confirming what I've been saying for the last decade or so and which ManPower's report also states: employers only want people with experience but are unwilling to train people so they can get the experience.
This leads to the obvious solution that rather than training people the way you want them, employers whine they can't find anyone to fill positions so they go overseas to find people who are willing to work for the small(er) salary offered, thus insuring the next position which is open can't be filled because no one was trained for it.
Rinse and repeat.
I have said this on many boards and I will continue to say it until an employer, any employer, is willing to debate me on this subject: with a real unemployment rate above 10%, to claim you can't fill a position because you say people aren't qualified is pathetic. If you can't find someone to fill a position either you are asking for the moon, are offering a lowball salary, or both. The problem is not that people aren't qualified, it's that employers are looking for the perfect employee. Who doesn't exist.
The problem lies with employers, not the applicants.
for people with significant IT skills and experience
And the only way to get most of those skills or experience is to be employed in the industry and working for companies who are willing to train you. People coming out of school or switching careers need not apply.
This goes along with the 2012 report from ManPower (which just came out) which says more than half of the U.S. employers surveyed say their pay scales are not in line with what IT workers want, which makes it hard to attract and retain staff.
The report goes on to say that many companies have scaled back on recruitment benefits such as relocation costs.
In summary, you need to have years of experience in cutting-edge technology, willing to work for pay which employers admit isn't up to par and able to pay for your own relocation.
Gee, wonder why people are saying they can't find people to fill positions.
and allow them to kill themselves if they wish to.
All the while destroying other people's lives while they're high, breaking into people's homes so they can steal to feed their habit, and a whole host of other issues, including medical as their bodies get ravaged but which I have to pay for (thanks Roberts).
I'll get modded down but don't care. What we need is to be more brutal. If you're found transporting drugs, like in Singapore, that's the death sentence. None of this 5 years where my tax dollars are used to give them food and shelter. Whack 'em. You get rid of enough mules and the supply dries up.
Their landing time is 1:31 AM, Monday morning, here on the Eastern side of the U.S. It would have been nice, NASA, since you're also on this side of the country, to have done a better job of planning when the rover was going to land.
Don't you guys ever think of this? I mean, you're NASA for crying out loud, you put a man on the moon, you're geniuses! You're the guys that're thinking shit up! I'm sure you got a team of men sitting around somewhere right now just thinking shit up and somebody backing them up!
Yet you couldn't have your landing at a more convenient time. Gees, typical government work. Always make it more difficult than it has to be.
j/k Good luck! Hopefully you can avoid the Martian Planetary Defense systems.
No, they can't. They can't regulate the homeopathic flim flam because it's not classified as a drug. Which it isn't.
The same thing with vitamins and supplements. Since they aren't classified as drugs, there is no regulation. No one knows what's in these things because the companies don't have to tell you what's in them. Testing has revealed that in most cases, sugar is the number one ingredient.
That's why homeopathic "medicine" isn't real medicine. They don't have to show their stuff works under standard, clinical trials and so get to fleece people of their money with miracle cures, ala Kevin Trudeau.
Start-up entrepreneurs cannot evade the discipline of the capital markets any more than can the prime ministers of Spain and Italy.'"
But Wall Street can. That was whole point of suspending mark-to-market. They didn't want to have to price their worthless or near-worthless securities at market values. Thus they got the SEC to suspend the time-honored and financially sound principle of valuing assets at what the market is willing to pay for those assets.
Further, Wall Street got the taxpayers to foot the bill for their incompetence AND got to use that money to give themselves bonuses for the great job they were doing.
While Zuckerberg can't evade market discipline, there are those who can, have and will continue to do so.
Comcast competes with Verizon in my area and their prices are essentially identical.
When Verizon said they were going to come in to my area, the head honcho explicitly states they were not going to compete on price. And they haven't.
If Comcast really wants to compete with Verizon they would lower their prices while increasing their speeds. As we have seen on several articles here, the U.S. ranks at the top of the industrialized world for cost of broadband and almost at the bottom for speed of broadband.
You need at least 3 choices in a market to have real competition. As it stands now, the vast majority of the country has 2 choices and thus, higher prices, lower speeds. This addition won't do anything to resolve this.
There's a HUGE deficit of IT workers in this country (tens of thousands of unfilled vacancies every year) -- you have plenty of choice in who you work for.
No, you don't. Employers want IT workers who fit a very narrow field. Being someone who can go from dealing with Oracle to Microsoft to HP to SAP to [insert whomever] products is not what they are looking for. They want you to know Oracle, and that's it. They want you to know SAP, and that's it. They want you to know government contracting.
They don't care that you worked in contracts for a Fortune 500 company for the last 5 years. If you don't have any experience in government contracting, they don't look at you.
As to relocation, most employers are looking local. They don't want to have to deal with the hassle of someone moving their stuff to a new location, waiting for them to settle in and get acquainted with the area. In today's world, and I've asked this question during interviews, they want someone to drop in and go.
Which is nigh impossible, but that's what they want.
Employers can whine all they want about not being able to find people to fill jobs when the real issue is their own intransigence at hiring someone who isn't perfect, but close enough. With a real unemployment rate above 10%, to claim you can't find someone to fill a job is pathetic.
It's only sexually transmitted if one of the people was shooting up.
Which begs the question, other than for people who get Hep C through transfusions, why are we worried about this if the only ones who will really benefit are drug users? They have a choice not to shoot up but chose to continue on their path.
Apparently personal responsibility isn't in vogue any more.
