Microsoft Corp's "Get the Facts" campaign appears to have been confused with a voicemail to instruct certain employees that a fax has arrived on their fax machines. It is not clear how this happened, but Microsoft will be releasing a correction on the second Tuesday of the month.

DNA testing on job applications

Faster DNA Testing

How long do you think it will be before they start testing people's DNA as part of a job application?
I can see it now....Trevor wasn't hired because his DNA showed a tendency of autosomal recessive gene disorders and another defect affecting his mitochondrial enzymes.
Since the US is currently dumping $6 billion a month in Iraq ($9 billion+ of which can not even be accounted for since the war started,) why not launch an initiative to launch a satellite by an organization other than NASA?
Provide an incentive (say cash) to find a cheaper way to design and launch a satellite into space. NASA, as an arm of a bogged-down and partisan government, is clearly not using innovative and cost-cutting solutions to further its own goals. Take the US government funding out of the equation and maybe something will get done. If NASA has too much on its agenda, its time to find other qualified people who can do the job.
In my humble opinion, space exploration is just as important scientific study as any other out there. The images that the Hubble has delivered to the world are indeed beautiful, amazing and priceless.
How is it that Diebold can make ATM machines that will account for every last penny in a banking system, but they can't make secure electronic voting machines?
Also, does the flame-resistant suit come with its own matching tinfoil hat? (don't answer that one)
"Threat Modeling gets its own Item, but isn't covered in great depth. Brown lays out Microsoft's STRIDE system (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information disclosure, Denial of service, and Elevation of privilege) as a guideline for threat modeling. He also talks a bit about attack trees."
Didn't Gandalf use the assistance of Attack Trees to topple Isengard? Sarumon really needs to read this book.
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL?
HAL: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave: Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?
HAL: Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
Use pictograms and arrows to ensure that everyone will understand what you are writing.
My favourites:
"Always look for the most obscure way to do common tasks."
"People who come after you have no business modifying your code without thoroughly understanding every line of it."
"Wherever the rules of the language permit, give classes, constructors, methods, member variables, parameters and local variables the same names."
"Never perform code coverage or path coverage testing. Automated testing is for wimps."
"Join a computer book of the month club. Select authors who appear to be too busy writing books to have had any time to actually write any code themselves."
"And for generations, students have spent their hard-earned dollars on the music they love in the local college record store. How many of those stores are left now? Makes you realize just what the impact of illegal downloading can be, and why we've taken the actions we have."
First of all, hard-earned is questionable. I know plenty of college students who never worked before or during college, so maybe he should quantify the statement by adding 'parents' hard-earned money. Also, it would be about one generation that has even dealt with this issue, not 'generations' as if file-sharing was something people did back in the Bronze Age.
Second of all, I highly doubt these college 'record' stores closed because of illegal filesharing, more likely they closed due to big-box retailers offering CDs at highly-discounted rates, thereby making money by overall volume of sales, not individual purchases.
Third of all, it doesn't make me realize anything, except that the music industry are hypocrites for having settle a lawsuit for price-fixing/gouging in 2002 and then claim they are losing money now. Was that price-gouged projected earnings, or actual earnings they are losing? This only leads me to believe that the music recording industry is a very greed-driven industry and they probably don't really care about the low-volume 'college record stores' anyway.

There is a great website about Rattenburg, it states:
"Rattenberg is a lovely village which is getting more and more popular because of its beautiful location, its charm and as an attraction to hikers and bikers."
This story reminds me of Packard-Bell repackaging used PCs as new in the 1990s.
"Zhan defended Chuanghui's sale of remarked chips, saying the company makes no attempt to hide what was done to the chips or to pass them off as more valuable processors. "I tell them the truth," he said."
Except for the fact that they remark them, they don't hide anything. Wait..does this even make sense?
Richard will surely be using transparent aluminum in many creative ways. It is the best of both worlds, you can see the RFID tag, you just can't scan for it.

Sorry, but you are not allowed to bring acid of any kind on board, not even Deoxyribonucleic.

I think the solution is to only develop Microsoft applications that are specifically designed to run on Mac OS X.

But seriously folks....another good reference here:

But since you can use a computer (as opposed to a tape to tape deck) it is infinitessimally more egregious! Off with their heads I say!
Stanley Kubrick knew....

Thanks for brightening my day.

It's true, he never did his own laundry.
Kim Jung Il has been seen on eBay alot recently, he just bid on a new reactor for his WMD collection.
But X10's upskirtings and downblousings were NOT. Where is the justice?
Relinquished you have, open source it is not, much confusion this has caused. I sense much anger in you.
Is this a sign of the end of the world? Or just one of the natural processors of life?
that is Rattenburg, Germany...never mind
Maybe it is because there are no good jobs there?

I don't know really, you tell me? I voted for Pedro, did you? (kidding)
PS on the GeekGorgeous.com website, the link titled "buy it now!" does not mean you can simply buy a hottie programmer for I/O testing purposes.
Mine are that they hire illegal aliens, lock them in the stores at night, and don't provide good benefits...oh wait, you said Wall Warts.
Never mind, my mistake.
