Socks are practical in that they provide a removable layer of fabric between your skin and the interior of the shoe. This helps prevent chaffing and reduces the amount of bacteria buildup in the show (assuming that clean socks are used regularly).
The poster actually believes feeding pigs gummi bears is unusual enough to hotlink? Pigs are omnivores. They are fed grains, vegetable scraps, leftovers from meals, chicken carcasses, and whatever else has protein and may or may not have some amount of rot on it.
Is there a reason your father MUST be on Windows? Is he primarily browsing and using office productivity applications? If he does not have specific requirements (such as gaming, high end graphics/video production, ect) then he should not be running Windows to begin with.
Get thee to Linux Mint, good sir, and do have that son to father talk regardless. Giving out personal info to strangers is insane.
Don't we have a sustained unemployment problem nationwide?...check! Wouldn't it be a burden on taxpayers to have to provide supportive care to people who are just making the unemployment figures high?...check!
Is there a way we can make this West Nile Virus a national epidemic, and maybe increase it's potency? (I kid, I kid!)
After back surgery years ago I cannot stand for long periods at a time, even when I'm relatively fit. I do make attempts to get up regularly and go for short walks. Having a cup of water on my desk (not an entire jug) keeps me up every hour or so - a trip down one hall for relief, then a trip down another hall for fresh H20.
I position my desk so that my entire forearm can rest comfortably on the desk surface with upper arms in a mostly downward position. I type with at least one forearm mostly on the table (and use a standard querty keyboard). My monitor sits about even with my eyes.
I also make a point to drink a LOT of fluids so that I am forced to get up at regular intervals. Humans were not designed to remain in a seated posiiton for long periods at a time.
Also, no overhead florescents for me - those are off. I have a single table lamp (from home) on a desk nearby, which provides enough lumination for the entire office. I only turn on the overhead cubicle lamp if I am going to spend extended time reading or writing on paper. Otherwise the glare is a huge annoyance.
Some of the later Berserker books were pretty dark and hopeless. I maintain that Star Trek came up with the idea for Borg from Saberhagen's Berserkers.
Not necessarily. If people make a conscious choice to support regionally local companies that produce things in a way that provides decent employment without automation via robotics, the companies that automate and/or offshore will lose business.
Be prepared to pay a little more, but right now - today - is the time to act. Not a few years from now. Hell the time to act was 30-40 years ago, this shit could have been nipped in the bud.
Bingo. When I read the headline I did not jump to conclusions that this would end up creating more work for domestic IT pros. My first and gut reaction is exactly what you predict. This is no way means that GM is not going to continue using cheaper overseas labor. It just means that they are going to have a more direct role in things.. cut out the middle management so to speak.
It's perfectly OK to be disrespectful to a sitting Democratic president, but god save your soul if you dare to suggest anything negative about a past Republican president.
Libertarian fairy dust. Everything is always so easy to fix, and always involves somehow redesign the fabric of society so that mysteriously, we'll end up with an even greater disparity between wealthy and poor.
I am done with Republicans and Democrats. But it's the canned Libertarian answers to every problem (always deregulation or eliminating government from our lives, yawn) that prevent me from taking that party seriously either. Virtually no real thought placed into the likely outcomes - just the stuff of fantasyland.
"We'll need people to watch over the machines, build the machines, care for the machines, and install the machines."
Same thing the auto workers were told as the factories began replacing workers with robots. You'll be needed to *fix* the robots. True, but only half true. The falsehood is the assumption made that the majority of workers will transition into robot-fixing careers. The fact is that automation made a large number of those jobs obsolete.
If you're managing factories, you are going to look at this aspect of capitalism with rose colored glasses.
And what pray tell do you suggest the billions of workers of the world do once we reach the end point of automation technology - rendering the bulk of today's jobs obsolete?
There is no way we can continue supporting billions of people on this planet with increasing and sustained levels of unemployment, starvation and homelessness. Who's putting their hand up first for elective self-elimination? Or do we wait and let "nature" take its course with a pandemic?
First they whine about having to pay too many taxes, and they complain about being oppressed by too many regulations. They want to pay no taxes and have next to no government interference in their profiteering.
They want to pay zero taxes, yet they want the government to give them a strong military, police and justice system so their profits and interests are adequately protected. They want to pay nothing to the IRS, yet want a well designed and functioning infrastructure in which to operate.
And now they want to create a false sense of emergency with regard to their work force, to hire complacent, affordable foreign workers via H1-B, rather than hire domestic workers some of whom may be unemployed by no fault of their own.
Why is it we continue bending over backwards for these unpatriotic "people" again?
Who puts Saverin's house out when it is burning out of control? Who paves the roads and repairs the bridges that Saverin's luxury cars utilize every day? Who delivers the mail that Saverin relies on for his business and home operations? Who manages the pipes and treatment of the shit that Saverin dumps down his toilets every day? Who patrols the streets that Saverin lives and works on, protecting him from crime? Who watches and protects the nation of America when terrorists and other countries seek to destroy Saverin's way of life, property, and business interests?
In Saverin's mind (and yours) all of these are freebies.. entitlements. No responsibility to maintain them whatsoever.
People like Saverin are half of what's wrong with America today. I will be glad when we are one less "Saverin citizen" when he departs for Singapore. We don't need trash like that here.
I beg to differ on your analysis of OSX. I would have considered Apple if it weren't for the clunky DE, which is even more apparent in multiple monitor environments. Whoever decided that the application toolbar and window should remain separate is very likely the same kind of person you accuse of being unprofessional GUI designers.

Sure you don't want to retire a few months ahead of schedule?

regain control of the WH and Legislative branch. Few jobs will be created, so that tax revenue is minimal.
Next?
