Going to school and learning a skill that actually deserves a high paying salary also helps lift poor people out of poverty. Paying $30k a year for an entry job flipping burgers is not economically feasible for a restaurant nor does it make sense for that type of job. Margins are very close and a raise like this can close it. I hate the socialistic narrative that profit is bad and if a company profits too much it's now the bad guy. A business exists to make a profit for its owner or share holders. The problem with Socialism is that eventually other peoples money run out. In the end wealth redistribution never works. This whole thing is an appeal to morals and since it has to do with money it sure gets emotions involved.
I see that one post has tackled the main gist of Ellen Pao's ban on Salary Negotiations. Though some have touched on it in one way or another. It seems to me that gorilla in the room was only glanced at, and reluctantly so. This seems more of a lashing out by Pao due to her loss of her law suit. The salary inequality between men and women is a myth when you take away all the extraneous stuff. Taking away the ability of a potential employee to negotiate their salary in the name of gender equality and then saying that it is because "men negotiate harder". I'm detecting a bit of misandry in her thought.
Like Jane Q., meerling and some others said. Showcasing your work as an example doesn't put them up for use by the company as a term for employment. You're under no obligation to let them use your IP just because they employed you and if the use of your IP is a condition of employment I would run from that employer. Your employment and IP are completely different animals and you should keep them separate. If a company wants to use it they can license it, but keep that deal far away and separate from your employment. Let a Lawyer well versed in IP law handle it. Don't even think about doing it yourself. It can only lead to misery in the future.
Depending on the DIMM itself you might be able to sell them to a company that recycles them and extracts the precious and semiprecious metals out of them.
Unfortunately our profession can be learned from books. Because of that it can lead to a lot of individuals who claim to have the same experience as you but can't really program worth shit. Those tests weed out the people who can't from the cans.
I was looking for a job when the company I last worked for went in to the dead pool. One company I applied to and went for an interview gave me a test to take to make sure I was who I claimed to be. I was incensed and argued that I had a proven track record and refused to take the test. It resulted in them passing on me.
A friend had suggested I prepare code samples on mini CD-Rs. The 200 MB ones that are easy to find and cheap. I handed it to the last person I interviewed with. I was warned that I may need to produce code and make some code on the spot but it never happened. The code sample was sufficient. I'll also add that I was the only person to hand the person I interviewed with a code sample. None of the others who interviewed for the same job did. It made me stand out.
So prepare some code samples for them to look over. And even if they still ask you to do a test, swallow your pride and take the damn test. Sometimes we forget that those who have the gold make the rules.
I totally disagree with the notion that he has to do exactly what his superiors tell him. He was hired to not only administer the database but to protect it as well. Not doing so is neglecting his fiduciary duties as a dba. He has a right to wade through and reject unreasonable requests.
How would the merchants detect that Zango or other spyware makers have hijacked organic traffic or a legitimate affiliates cookie? If the software routs traffic through the spyware vendor's servers first then to the intended website how is a site like Netflix or Blockbuster going to tell if they don't get a chance to put a cookie there? Not to mention that a spyware vendor probably doesn't have the affiliate code in their name but probably a shell corporation or some other company. If companies like Netflix take action how bad do you think the shakeup will be for companies like Zango?
Ok, so if we give rights to Chimps and they commit a crime like attack a human by sneaking out of their cage like they did at the Wildlife Waystation here in California simply because they wanted their cake and eat it too would we have had to put them on trial? I think it would have been a Kangaroo Court at best.
Biodiesel can be made from waste vegetable oil (cooking oil that has been used for frying) so there shouldn't really be an impact on the availability of food from making it. We throw away millions of gallons of the stuff in to our dumps or mixing it in to the feed for our cattle (when we shouldn't) we should be using that to lessen our dependency on foreign oil.
Lets just hope that this Star Wars spin off doesn't turn out to be as bad as The Star Wars Holiday Special was. My mind as a six year old was scarred forever.
Maybe Google will send the business owner a box of Kleenex or perhaps a block of cheese to go with his whine since he's crying about his rank so much. Why not. They've sent aspirin for a headache.
In my opinion. If you're looking for financial benefits. Forget it. This isn't a buy it, set it up and forget it kind of thing. You also need to factor in the cost of maintenance. You'll need to start looking at the appliances you have. Does that old fridge you have need to go because its such a pig when it comes to electricity? How about that washer and dryer or the furnace that heats your home? Oh, and don't forget that air conditioner. Replace those filament bulbs with energy efficient ones too. Don't forget the cost of the batteries when they decide to give up. You think the wind is going to be there all the time? You'll need them for that and when the main power grid decides to take a break for a few hours.
Thinking about selling off the excess power you make to the utilities? Yea, sure. They don't pay you anything for that power except to maybe offset your bill when your meter runs backwards. Even then, most put a limit as to how much you can contrubute to the grid. I think here in California, Southern California Edison puts a limit of 10Kw (someone will correct me if they changed it). The average family home that hasn't taken steps to get energy efficient appliances and lighting uses 5Kw/h on up. If you get a system, only get a size that will generate what you need. Any excess is just waste and you won't make any money from it. Sorry but the power companies don't want you making a profit off of them.
If you want to do this because you'll feel better that you're consuming green energy and you're interested in the technology. Then go for it and you'll have the bragging rights that most people don't.
The chassis is safer than most vehicles and is street legal in the U.S. You don't need 1500 watts of booming stereo power, stop annoying the neighborsand get an iPod if you want music in it. That kind of stereo is a complete waste of money and space anyways.
Apparently the process this company uses is different from heat conversion which is what Changing World Technologies uses. Alphakat uses heat but in this case its mixed with a catalyst and the chemicals is put under a low vacume. Not exactly how oil is made by nature but definately different from Changing World Tech's method.
Law enforcement has a rule. If its in plain sight its fair game. If a technician saw the files and the files were in a folder that wasn't encrypted or locked from him and it was brought to the attention of the law and it wasn't a police officer who went in and found it then it might be considered that the evidence was "in plain sight".

Bingo! A view can be set up for that.
It's not about finding those who are already "superstars" but in identifying potential "superstars".

Read this month's magazine from http://www.homepower.com/. Also you can read this: http://www.homepower.com/files/beginner/WindPowerB asics.pdf to get the basics of wind power.

It doesn't take the brains of a rocket scientist to know that you don't send out spam like email when doing anti spam anything.

Of course you know without tea ... There is no spoon!
You see the kids there are all real bored so the engineers will give them straws and they'll provide all the cpmoressed air that's needed.
Lets bring them back. I'm sure they've weighed the unintended consequences of messing with an ecosystem already.
