1) Argentina was quite prosperous at one time, but the past decade or so has been really hard on them. Their economic problems have caused a significant drop in the standard of living for many of its citizens, and crime has become much more of an issue. Today, it is much more akin to an African nation than it is to a Western nation.
As an Argentinian myself, i have to (sadly) agree. The standard of living for major cities (Cordoba, Rosario, Buenos Aires) has dropped sharply in the past decade, but it is practically nonexistant once you travel to the north, where basic services like running water, electricity, or sewers are scarce if present at all.
That said, Buenos Aires is more akin to a typical european city. But crime rates are horribly high - the citys' premimum neighborhoods and locations sits next to a shantytown so big it's almost a favela by now. You got to be careful if visiting.
A couple of coworkers have already received (legitimate) heads-up to change their passwords, so yes, i can definitely see this happening. Someone screwed up big time at LinkedIn...
If they really managed to create an device that tracks multiple objects, in 3D (even when stacked), and with a resolution of 10 microns they won't just revolutionize computers and gaming. I've used industrial sensing devices that cost 100x as much and aren't even remotely capable of such feats.
I did actually - union shops are as illegal in Argentina as they are in the rest of the world, yet good luck trying to get a job without an union membership in a lot of industries. In most cases (transport), you'll only get one union to choose from.
Hope that gives you a little insight on me instead of all that betting and guessing.
To get the job, you must be a member of the union. If you are not, then you must join immediately. There is only one union that represents people in your position. Only employees can be union officials, and anyone who gets elected without being open to bribes finds that they no longer have a job and must therefore resign. You must accept the deal negotiated between the company and their, sorry, your representative or you lose your job.
You'd be surprised. I've traveled a lot lately, and i find it to work this way in most of the world. As a closer example: i live in Argentina. Joining an union is a de facto requirement in order to get a job on several industries (transport, particularly trucking, metal, food... even general commerce).
Everyone seem to praise Jobs, which was arguably the best CEO in the IT business in the last decade, but Tramiels' legacy is impressive. He basically beat all offerings from Atari and Apple and managed to sell 17 *million* C-64s back in the eighties, which is mind boggling. His company paved the market for a real, usable and affordable home computer.
That little brown box opened a whole new world for me. Thank you Jack. You'll be missed.
I have a Line6 Pod 2 which sounds really damn close to a Marshal stack, specially through headphones. The Line6 stuff usually does a much better job at emulating analog gear than Beringher, whose products i always found way to sterile sounding.
Genuinely. I'm seriously interested. I want to know the kind of science which requires timings of this accuracy. I think they must be some really exciting experiments to be studying phenomena on that short a timescale.
High frequency gravitational waves? I recall reading about this a while ago - i imagine that it requires an exceedingly accurate time reference, since the effect of grav waves is so small.
It's interesting to notice how the current democratic system, used pretty much all over the world, rarely results in good leadership. In my mind, it's not an issue of intelligence. It's an issue of education.
As an Argentinian, I wondered lately how it would be to have qualified voting: in order to be eligible to vote you would be required to pass a small test answering questions about your countries' democratic system - what a Senator does, how laws are passed, what different branches can and cannot do, and which liberties and responsibilities are defined in our Constitution. Free courses for those who need it. Perhaps if most people start realizing what exactly they are doing when they vote we might see some changes.
I'm very interested on this, since the original posting by Matt Dillon hints at the bug being present in all Opteron and Phenom models. The bug seems hard enough to replicate, but still, corrupting the stack is no minor detail.

Prolonging the inevitable doesn't make it any less inevitable.
Exactly. It simply boils down to this - the issues Nokia is facing lately have little to do with salesmen and more with the people making business decisions. It's a shame too; Nokia used to put out great products in the past.

The LinkedIn iPad app is supposedly 95% HTML5. Makes me wonder how suitable it is as a "platform" handling sensitive data.

And still you offer none...
There are plenty of examples to be found...
-1, only in America are unions hated so much. You'll never see positive union viewpoints on the news without them being portrayed as combative.
And with good reason...
+1 this. I've lived long enough to realize that union strikes have usually little to do with the interests of the actual workers.

No gravitational wave of any frequency has ever been observed.
Indeed - what i mentioned is an experiment to verify their existence. I've looked it up.
...what is the point of this?

The car enthusiasts decided to go all Wozniak on these bitches and just make their own car computers.
You just made my day.
So its all AMDs 10h and 12h. Thank you!
+1. Thank you for your great work on this.
It certainly seems to be that way :( The fact that Matts' tests on both Opterons and Phenoms broke in the exact same way is a bad indicator.

Aren't exceptions a fancy use of GOTOs aswell?
