o really? check out pictures of Silverlight on Linux from Miguel's blog.
Mono demonstrated Silverlight support in 3 weeks. They plan on having full support, packaged nicely by the end of the year (iirc). Microsoft has stated they will support Linux, even if you are skeptical, the standard is open and anyone can implement it. The Mono project is.4
J&J licenses the right to the red cross logo to the ARC for free for nonprofit uses. How nice of them! However, the ARC then goes and sublicenses that logo to other companies. J&J competitors. Maybe now you appreciate the situation.
$40k for medical equiptment isn't bad. Compare it to the cost of a MRI machine, or even a 'low cost' (which is $100k-$200k) x-ray machine. Radiosurgery machines (for cancer) run $3-5 million. Having an accurate diagnosis for $40k is almost cheap by those standards.
2.8 gigs of space... why not?:) submitting it automatically tags it with a time and date and stores it where you can get to it 99.99% of the time. And as I mentioned elsewehere, I tend to be scatterbrained, and misplace/forget my thumb drive, so its nice to have it a website away. The particular pet projects I'm working on, I'm not paranoid about someone getting a hold of, so I really don't give a crap about having the code on a web mail account.
I did this extensively while working on my masters, now pretty infrequently just when ideas or pet projects pop up.
Shouldn't everyone be blocking.exe attackments at the MTA?
NO! It's annoying enough that Google rapes through my.zip files looking for.exe's.
If I'm working on a c++ program at work and zip it up and gmail it home (lock the computer while it uploads) and forget to 'make clean'... I don't get my code. I know its nitpicky and a make clean or a thumb drive will cure my problems but I'm forgetful which tend to preclude both.

Just imagine if you were condemned to keep that stress up for years on end.
It was also probably easier for you to find a little more motivation with your courses and your child than when you're a standard worker on 9-5.
I did that for two years. Before that, for about three years, I was married, in college (more than full time year round), working two part-time menial jobs to make ends meet (and afford health insurance:P ) for my wife and I, she was a grad student and I an undergrad. No, I do believe five years is a sufficient stretch.
My point being, if 5 hours - 1 hour and 12 minutes a day - makes or breaks you, there is a problem with the individual, not with the system.
yar, agreed. EQ tried the whole redemption-code thing, there was a issue of PC Gamer that had a code where you could redeem a shield, in order to do it you went to the EQ website (everquest.station.sony.com), logged into your account and entered it online. Then, in-game you would type '/claim' to claim your reward. No messing with the world.
When they do implement this, hopefully they try and make it mesh. It would make sense that people in Norrath would have games they like to play, after all they have a casino, and other entertaining attractions. So in order to get cards it would make sense to get them off of players - by killing humanoids in the world. And then to play, it would make sense to go to a certain zone and play at a table with other players. I hope its kinda implemented like this. The way the reviews were sounding, scarce with details as they are, it sounds more like a boss/raid mob drop. Which, while I'd like to watch guildies waste ERP/DKP on it so I can get the loot I want, I'd rather see it drop in a more role-playish way.
Besides, it's pretty well established that people will do more productive work on a 35-hour week than a 40+-hour one.
I fail to see how that is true, and your '$50-per-person-per-year-on-education' has been thoroughly debunked. I find I get my best work done when I'm under a load. Last year I was taking 2-3 masters courses, working overtime, and finding time to spend with my pregnant wife and 1-year-old. I got the best raise of my career, the best GPA I've had in my college career, and my wife was satisfied.
Oh yea. Here's an article that will debunk it for ya: right here.
But you provide the perfect justification for a multiple day voting period. If work explodes, you have the next day. Plus we don't have to have another holiday where most people get off, yet all of the service industry is expected to keep working...
The C/C++/Java programmers (this is my category, usually) are chain smokers - Marlboro Reds in a soft pack style, and caffeine junkies. How many of you have a Mountain Dew can that you're drinking next to an empty Mountain Dew can - and both are still cold to the touch? Yeah - all the programmers.
Yup. I managed to avoid picking up smoking, but in my younger days as a programmer (18-24) I'd drink a case to a case and a half of mountain dew in a 8 hour programming shift. Sometimes I'd go to the fridge and grab two, cause I knew the first one would be gone soon enough and I wouldn't want to get up and get the second one:P
I've managed to cut back... 2 dew's a day, and I drink about a half gallon of water. But then again, I do less c++ programming and more FORTRAN/Excel work. Maybe that's it...:)
The trolls have always existed. Live and let live. I'm talking about the average joe. Back in '99 or so, this was a much more enlightening place than it was today? Did I grow up? Yeah. But in the same timeframe, we all grew up. And yet aspects of this place seem dumber for the experience. The same people who bash MS or Bitkeeper or... for vendor lock-in love themselves some Apple iWhatevers. The same people who rant about free speech and the eroding freedoms in this country, percieved or otherwise, can't get enough Google Betas. Hypocrisy is amazing.

That'd explain it. Emergency response.
A stethoscope that generates imagery, without using radiation, and can accurately diagnose between multiple conditions? It'll pay for itself.
