I think whats also happening is all these companies that want Media or websites or whatever done have wised up to the mediocrity that corporate outlets produce.
These crowdsource operations have a tendency to find those that are 1. Passionate about their work, 2. too talented to survive in corporate America, and 3. Aren't afraid to be bold, and are pulling no stops to impress.
As a whole, with crowdsourcing, the talent pool is given a chance to contribute again.
Typo's made while being over-tired and grumpy not withstanding, sleeping143 should have read my mind and interpreted my statement to mean "Tune Up their car". Based on the body of his response he did understand my meaning. However he described "Modding" or "Performance Tuning" when clearly I was shooting for the inferior demographic of the majority of our US Population as an example of fail for the same region.
Dekker3D has it absolutely correct, in that any person who has intimate knowledge of their vertical interest would be a member of the nerd crowd. With the exception of the majority of Mac users *Per Capita*
So in effect it's the "Nerd Crowd" that does the work so those that gripe about our "Arrogance" can troll on their ipad or blackberry while spilling hot coffee on their laps and suing McDonald's for selling hot drinks to this challenged demographic.
If any of us in the Nerd Crowd are arrogant it's because we earned it by sheer force of dedication to what motivates us, and we are impatient to the obstacle most of the rank and file of corporate America constitutes.
Now it's time for me to get some sleep. I seem a tad cranky today.
We run the friggen planet with with software we write! Most of the Planet can't even change their oil or tune of their car! ( And yes, I can do both )
Arrogance would have us in towers running star-trek NOCS with FAT Handsome paychecks.
Instead we are paid squat, have unrealistic expectations on our time and often no budget to speak of while we work in the */b/asement*.
Don't get all pissy when we read your email, and intercept the porn you shot of your wife or girlfriend that you just sent over the company email system. The sales of that and other things is what pays for our hardware at home.
I, and others like me make your universe operate. Piss us off, and reading your email or watching your daughter strip for her boyfriend will be the least of your problems.
If it's a Wifi access point, it's obviously not private. Imagine having a message stuck to the back of your car, and whine about it being private if someone notices?
Having been a Navy contractor in just this exact field, my experience with govt / military jobs indicates to me that this is a lot of stovepipe rooster crowing.
Self important BS Hype to justify the tax dollars and get the pats on the back. The positive comments here for this 1.5m hack of snort is more than likely astro turfing. Up until now, I haven't even heard of Suricata.
Can someone provide a link where this has been in some mainstream IT circles being debated as Beta release candidates were released etc?
In some bad areas there's no sensor in the road. Presumably because the crack-heads keep tearing up the copper. BUT, if you send some brave soul out to hit the button on the crosswalk it will trigger.
The trick is getting the white boy back in the car in one piece and not miss the light...
When I was on the Oracle / Solaris website recently I noticed the environment was very old guard. Hailing to a day when Unix knowledge was a rare and expensive commodity.
You could see it in the language that was used, 60's business rhetoric regurgitated for today's business masses that might still buy it.
Now, I am looking for contracts that are migrating away from Solaris. Going to try and catch this wave early.
But it is also true that the majority of people are too incapable of critical thinking, of self-education, and of consistency in the application of their principles to be effective in discriminating good policies from bad.

Not really, when considering the cost of living where those jobs are.
It's squat. Now if we could all telecommute, that would help a lot!

We may even be dooming ourselves to extinction by breeding so late and making young marriages an anathema.
It's going to be a race to see what kills us off as a nation sooner. Not breeding enough to replace ourselves or legislate ourselves unto oblivion.

Lets not forget Screensavers or things like BOINC running when not in direct use.
The best energy policy for these machines is no BOINC or other background operations and blank the screen when not in use.

since light is just EM waves to begin with, but if the frequency is -that- displaced from the visual spectrum, that's pretty neat.
It's beautiful to see someone get this right in the wild. It really makes me feel warm and fuzzy. :) There is hope yet!
