I believe that this is almost totally unenforceable (non compete clauses) in Europe. Don't know why the proles put up with it in the states, maybe you need some better unions (and maybe moving to the left of the political spectrum).
The guy did bad hacking the military, but we're pissed off that the Americans can extradite someone without presenting the facts of the case, whilst for Britain to extradite someone we have to do this as congress has not ratified the treaty.
So basically you can steal our citizens with certain trust, but we are not afforded the same level of trust. And anyway he could (should) have been prosecuted here.
Ah the joy of regulation. I'm sorry you guys don't have it, but I'll sit here with the maximum 48 hours a week, 28 days (including public holidays) leave guaranteed for everyone, the openness of internet and phone markets. Europe is good for some things.
I get the feeling that the American way is not the same.
There be magic afoot, next you'll be telling me 1 + 1 = 2, crazy. You should be careful, there are fragile minds on here who may not be able to take these lies.
Whilst you may have many valid points, my point was that no matter who you are if is very difficult to translate a language into another, more so if the language is now dead. So ambiguity does exist in the text, so anyone going this is a definitive text clearly has no idea of the complexity and choices the translators have made.
Well what do you expect from things translated from ancient hebrew, a language which has the foresight to include no spaces and no voules, which will obviously has no ambiguity to it...
That is actually HPs fault they have a custom graphics chip, it's the same with their consumer tablets if they use the stock mobile chip you can usually get XP drivers directly from nvidia. Or at least that is how I understood this issue when I came up against it.
Colour preference is different in everyone. there is a condition (don't know the name too lazy to look it up) which means some colour combinations are seen better by some people (specifically with reading but it may also cover other things). I was told this when reading books to use a various different colour filters to find which one worked best for me. So it is a trial and error thing and no one else can give you the answer. But you can probably be tested somewhere.
But sex is bad, it should not be had by anyone, or is that what I have been conditioned to believe, extreme violence OK, but natural (well mostly natural) procreation is to be leglislated against.
I said the current system didn't work very well, doesn't mean that it's not a good idea to have this system of trust, it just needs to be better than it is now.
But how do we know that a 'random' CA is trustworthy, what is to stop disreputable companies having their own CA. The point is to give some degree of trust to the system which otherwise could not be trusted. It may be badly managed at the moment or the companies may try to screw you over, but that doesn't stop it being a good idea to have some degree of trust when using certificates.
Or you can get circular logic as happened recently IIRC, where the 'references' in the article were based on sources which came from the article, so it was effectively referencing itself in the past. You don't get that with citing the top of the tree.
Over in the UK we are beginning to have the same problem with house prices getting overheated. This was in part caused by banks lending 6 times or more gross income, previously this used to be 4x maximum. This caused people to get larger and larger loans thinking the low interest rates would last. Had the banks be regulated in such a way as to prevent them from doing this the problem would not be in the same state today.
But then neither do I think that big corporations should use their muscle and lobbying might to remove regulation which benefits themselves more than consumers. That is a major problem but then hopefully you might finally get someone who is vaguely liberal (but then I'm a idealist communist; it's fine I know it won't work but they have good ideas, well mostly; so you guys are doing well to liberal in my eyes) as president.
I'm not for the people that much either being as they are mostly stupid, can't even use computers. I just think regulation should exist to stop you being exploited and to give a legal framework in complicated areas.
There will always be leeway for people who can avoid the rules, paying less tax, using the banking systems to their advantage, you can always play the system. So what I suggest is not to limit those people who can see legal ways to take advantage of the system but to prevent those less fortunate people who have poor educations from being made poorer by people who are just looking out for themselves with little or no threat from having to pay for misleading consumers.
Anyway it's been a hard day and I needed a good rant.
I consider myself good with numbers, very good in fact. I just about understand the finance system we have. Most people are not as good with this and they understandably get confused, having regulation prevents unscrupulous lenders playing off the fact that people don't understand numbers.
So you can take your 'people should understand' and fuck right off, one day you in the US will realise that the government is for THE PEOPLE and should do everything it can to stand up for THE PEOPLES rights. Having them bow down to the big corporations so that they can make more money is not what you want. Government is to stand up for the little guy (that would be us) and fight for our rights against the big corporations who quite frankly should be able to stand up for themselves.
But then this is one of the things which makes me glad i live in the UK and have the EU. They get it wrong sometimes everyone does, but they seem to put regulation in so that we don't get screwed by unscrupulous companies.
Maybe one day America will finally reach adulthood and start looking after the people.
I shall share this post to one of our internal mailing lists in regard to "web 2.0":
Generally speaking, it's used to describe web sites or applications that:
1. use HTML "properly", with styling info in CSS
2. have dynamic elements to the page
3. possibly, use a semi-structured approach to data - you'll hear buzzword bullshit like "tagging", "folksonomy" and other nonsense
Dynamic XHTML basically. It's a nonsense term that wankers use to describe perfectly fucking obvious programming techniques.
You should be like the Brits, have both systems simultaneously, although proper measures are passing out of fashion with the younger generation. You should be able to convert between them in your head anyway.
Sounds like you made the right choice for you at the time. But this is newish tech with still some kinks to be worked out, this alliance will hopefully move things along in this front. But there may be better things to come from elsewhere.
This is only really for the datacentre for the moment, from servers to SAN. So yes if you have already paid for plenty of bandwidth using current tech then maybe you're not going to go this route, but those companies who are upgrading may go for this because of a possibility of lower TCO. That and 40/100GbE is on the way so there is an upgrade path for the future.
Actually you won't 'lose your license' especially if you find a new issue which no one has seen before because you took idea x and made it on a large scale. But problem y, which didn't exist in your model, does exist in real life. Engineers try to stop these problems from happening using models but no model is perfect. There are also different conditions you are working to. Someone doing human carrying rocket design probably requires more guarantees it's going to work as designed than someone building a dry stone wall in the countryside.
An engineer is a problem solver using technology. They take someone else's idea and fix the issues of porting that to a large scale. If you want to come up with the idea in the first place you are a scientist. The difference between a chemist and a chemical engineer for example.
These problems, not that I have RTFA, would likely be more prevalent in large organisations where inane HR policies require so much effort to remove people from their jobs that it doesn't happen. As mostly HR suffer from the same quality issues I suspect, so even when they do try they fuck up. Well this might be more of an issue here in Europe because of the strong unions and the EU, rather than the US, where it seems to me that the corporations have all the power.
