LIFE WITHOUT WALLS - that way you don't need windows.
I've always wondered why people don't realize that a "life without walls" is also a life without security and privacy... (Good fences make good neighbors.)
I understand what the MS market-droids were shooting for here, but that assumes there are only benevolent forces at work in the world. MS is not one of them, in my opinion.
I'm sick of Colbert's schtick, and I'm sick of his college kiddie fans who parrot everything he says and spam his videos to Digg.
This means that his schtick works as it's meant as a parody of right-wing pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly and their followers (ditto-heads, etc).
I take your point, though, and don't condone blindly following *anyone* or their beliefs... (if that was your point)
If the funding went only to one state, then, ya, the Congress would call it pork. I'm not saying I agree with them on the appropriateness of their label, but that would be the partisan politics of it. Politician can be pretty narrow-minded at times.
They had set up lots of mysteries without first knowing what the resolution would be. If the mysteries were ever solved at all, they were solved in random ways...
Mysteries can be very compelling... but you clearly can't unravel it if the writers are going to use a dartboard to resolve it.
Another problem... has been the masses of pointless filler.
In these respects, the show has been like the show "Lost", but in space. Hey! "Lost in Space" would be a great premise for a show...:-)
To be fair... I think the US Congress labels any spending that benefits a single state or group as "pork". So, ya, volcano monitoring is pork, but useful pork in my opinion - especially as ash clouds can affect more than just the source state, though this may not be the case given the size of Alaska...
Not all government pork is bad - insert joke here -...
... to your degree and experience that you could utilize newly gained computer experience. Computers are a tool used to get stuff done.
You didn't say what your current career field is, but in many cases, unless you're looking for pure IT, the subject matter experience is more important and computer experience is a tool you use, or help others use, in that field.
For example, someone with lots of physics experience and some CS experience is probably a better candidate to do physics programming than someone with just a CS degree - though, obviously, not always...
He added that when new executives join the network, they usually ask if it has ever thought about changing the name.
New executives are stupid.
When we tested this new name, the thing that we got back from our 18-to-34 techno-savvy crowd, which is quite a lot of our audience, is actually this is how you'd text it," Mr. Howe said. "It made us feel much cooler, much more cutting-edge, much more hip, which was kind of bang-on what we wanted to achieve communication-wise.
Feel cooler, maybe, but not actually cooler. Yes, yes, change the name. Make it easier to "text". Now that's "cutting-edge".
What the fuck is "SyFy" suppose to mean anyway - SciFi for people who lisp?
God-damn marketing morons.
Wouldn't it be extremely expensive to send large quantities of water into orbit...?
The water is actually for the sharks. Space-junk shot by lasers, lasers go onto sharks, sharks go into water, water goes into space. Keep up, this isn't rocket science...
When I see something I don't like in those types of documments, I simply mark through it and initial. Don't know if it would hold up, but it's better than nothing. I've never had anyone say anything - probably because *they* don't read them afterward, which, of course, is not my problem...
Remember Jack Valenti's comment about the VCR being to the film industry what the Boston strangler is to the woman at home alone?
To be fair to Jack, there are many movies that are so bad I feel like hanging myself after watching them. When in a theater, there's at least a chance for some intervention...

Ahh... But I imagine it is important for drumming up interest in the new series "Caprica" - which, yawn, I won't be watching...

The article fails to include the Library of Congress, to which all other storage mediums should be compared...

Hmm... Can monkeys get /. accounts? :-)

The "Guide" on the other hand...
"Blue Screen of Death" now "Azure Notice of Discomfort" in preparation for new cloud computing initiatives.
Ya, next you'll be telling me that geese go in gaggles, or gnus hunker in herds (OK, there may be a kernel of truth in that last one) :-)
I thought sheep always lived in herds?
I know it's a direct quote from TFA, but, dear God, I hope they mean "electrically active". Unless UCLA is now working for Cyberdyne...

Rather, that clause will be used to justify buying the more expensive non-open source...
