I flew from Burbank to Atlanta, and the guy who sat next to me was either an Air Marshall, or one roughneck (buff/scrappy) lookin' blue collar business man, wearing blue jeans, a t-shirt, and harley-style shit-kicker boots.
There was no way that the guy could afford 1st class. He also ate his food as if it were his daily meal. Maybe the guy travels a lot, but probability leans towards the Air Marshall conclusion.
He even looked like one of the guys on the discovery channel show about Air Marshalls, it was pretty obvious.
I took photos of some clouds too, so now I'm probably on that list. *weaksauce*
respect from individuals (like myself) who would do the same, if they could.
As someone who has been wrongfully accussed of copyright infrindgement (of my own copyrighten material), I think people like the RIAA and MPAA are not designed to prevent piracy, as they are clearly losing that battle, but rather to continue the suppression of independent artists and production (aka: competition).
I think (err, hope) he was being sarcastic as to the quality of the 'healthy' food at Trader Joe's.
You do know that all their fish and meats are farm-raised?
Did you also know that in most fish farms, the fish feed on their own poop?
I've heard case after case of people (I know) getting food poisoning from their Salmon, and/or Chicken. I even remember a recall of quacolmole due to some bacterial fungus, about 2 years ago.
obviously, if they are using blogs for information management, then we really do need a new 'intelligence' agency, or at least they need a better IT dept.
"Why develop on YouOS? One Language: All you need to know is javascript. No perl, python, ruby, SQL, C, etc. That's right! You can do server stuff from javascript!"
'server stuff'?
uhh... What kind of server stuff?
This is why Marketing people should not write the segment that is targeting developers. Developers are obviously a lot smarter than the average users you're trying to sell this service too, so it's rather insulting.
I assume they mean: You can use JavaScript to interface with their API's.
I guess there isn't much crime in that city. Or if there is, I hope it's all war-driving related, because this is a complete waste of tax payer resources, imo.
If people want to leave a wide open wifi AP/Router, or simply aren't knowledgable enough to lock-it-down, then I don't think it's the Tax Payers who should get stuck w/ the bill.
I dropped out of high school in 11th grade, and began learning computer graphics and digital audio engineering in a vocational community college program, which I also never completed.
The reason I could not complete these classes, was due to the fact that I couldn't afford to goto school AND support myself AMD my mother. I literally had to support myself and my mother from the time I was 17, until I was 25. It was horrible! Luckily, I was able to use my PEL grant from community college to get myself a decent computer (celeron 300a) back then, and was able to acquire a great amount of skills and experience, thanks to some really smart and talented friends on IRC.
I call it: Better learning through IRC.
When I wanted to learn a new programming language, I could easily find someone on IRC to help get me pointed in the right direction, until I eventually learned enough to walk on my own. I have to thank those IRC characters for helping push me into a job, where as everyone else around me was pushing me into the gutter.
There is a lot to be said about Open Source Learning, and internet-based home/self education, and I owe it (and them) a lot of thanks.
This is another reason of why I choose to stay known as an anonymous handle, rather than a target for lame-duck biz-tech journalists who feed off of the creation and accomplishments of others, only to ridicule and defame them.
Not that I have accomplished anything to be put on that list, but still... =p
I am no microsoft fanboy, nor a linux or mac fanboy. (Although I prefer Linux for myself)
However, this article is (biasly) from a linux site, and it's over a year old.
Another issue is that Linux is used in Wired and Wireless routers all over the world. It's called 'embedded linux', and it's what runs your D-Link, Linksys, and Netgear Routers.
Anyhow, let's not become like Microsoft and spread useless misinformation, like digg, please. =p
Thanks!

This is not the fault of telecommuting, although tyranical bosses who hate telecommutors will blame telecommuting (so they can chain you to your cubicle and bark orders and breath down your neck), when the reality is... accountability in the IT/Network Security dept.
I telecommute from around the world and work directly off machines via SSH, so even if my laptop is stolen, nothing confidential or work-related can be compromised.
Of coarse, if you're IT/Network security policies allow telecommuters to actually work ON their own hd's, then that is your fault for having a flawed IT/Network security policy.
Some futurist he is. "YouTube is great, I bet the future is IPTV!!" wow, cool. *smack*
I predict USB-powered binary2matter decoder keyrings, so we can download food, etc.
or a few years before that... brainwave transforming projection systems, so you can project your thoughts, in full visual color, on a wall or something, with sound!!
Who's to say that we didn't colonize earth, from some other planet, XX million years ago?
I actually agree with him, sort of, although the current state of 'reality' will most likely prevent the outcome of such imaginative forward-thinking, as it usually does. =/
I'm all for supporting Stallman's motives, but his actions are a bit un-professional.
If the PM has not responded to your letters or request for an appt., what on earth makes one think simply walking to his office is going to give you access to such a high-ranking political figure?
That's like Michael Moore demanding to meet w/ Bush on the white house lawn and then wondering why they won't let him through the gates. *hello*

How do you alert people when an E-bomb has leveled all electronic devices in that (rather large) area?
I guess it won't matter at that point, as you'll have less than an hour to find a fallout shelter. =(

I got one similar returned from Diane Fienstein regarding the bill that would make streaming MP3's illegal (for independent artists).
It's pointless. Do you really think our votes or opinions matter?
Unless you stick a check in their faces, they could care less.
Until we end lobbyism in America, we will continue to have dishonest politicians who only serve the interests of those who financially endorse them.
