Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never met, never had no problem with, get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And, of course, the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, of course, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and fuckin' play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the fuckin' job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin', 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure fuck it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president.
And the MBP is not supposed to be an ultrabook either. It's supposed to be a super powered Apple laptop. I'm upset about the soldered in RAM like the rest, but I still will deal with it. Unfortunately for me, computers are almost as consumable as laptop batteries.
Why would someone want to do a rewrite of Minix 20 some odd years ago?
Hello everybody out there using minix -
I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things).
I’ve currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I’ll get something practical within a few months, and
I’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them
You, sir, are using logic. The government on the other hand, doesn't have that issue. Therefore the regulations do not function the same way as one would expect. So if your emissions are higher, but you get better milage, it doesn't matter because the government regulations don't care.
So wxWidgets 3.0 is finally released. We should have done it much sooner than 7 years after 2.8.0 release, but better late than never. And at least this gives us a lot of statistics to analyse to see how much has changed since the last major release. So let's do just this.
Yes, this should have been explained in the summary. No, the editors did not catch it which sucks. Yes this is the first X. release since 1998 or 99 depending on your source.
I deal in high end pro audio equipment. First off, it's kind of easy to see who is a freight forwarder. There's entire city blocks where if I get an order there I know what's going on, and Google Maps doesn't hurt. Plus when someone puts 123 Meryl st box 929183, it's pretty evident. Not to mention an international card has to go through more verification processes because the bank will not verify transactions with US merchants.
Second, most of my manufacturers will not honor warranties on grey market purchases (things purchased in one nation and shipped to another). I'm banned from SELLING it internationally, not shipping it internationally. And yes, that's a finite difference, but it's there. If I do so, I can lose my authorization as a dealer for those manufacturers. So yes, I'm in a bit of a different situation than most. Most of my vendors turn a blind eye to it, but there's a good chunk of them that do not. Some see it go to a freight forwarder and are okay with that, but others see it and will put me up shit creek without a paddle. Regardless, international ordering is always tricky, and most of my Aussie customers see the warranty stuff and freak, not to mention the fact that I can't get equipment in their voltage for the most part.
My company has lots of dealer agreements that make it a violation of our contract to send stuff internationally. Occasionally I have certain ones that will NOT let us ship to a freight forwarder. Just be aware that that CAN occur and you're far better off having a family member or a friend ready to ship something for you.
This is a perfect explanation of what is going on. Now, whether I'd say they're being heavy handed or not, that's a different story. Personally, I think this should be a situation of the students were idiots about it and should've asked permission first.
Seagate's software-independent caching system works with any operating system and hardware platform, so it definitely has some appeal. But dual-drive setups are probably the better solution for most desktop users.
I'm with you. The only way that makes sense to me is if the code is written such that it works by reading what exactly the app is trying to do and then responding due to that, but even then, it would stand to reason that it'd do that for any intensive app that does gaming or something like that, thus backing up Samsung's claim...
My biggest plot hole is the damned "transwarp beaming" (especially to Kronos, quite a distance). I mean, seriously, what's the fucking point of a spaceship when I can just beam anything I like across the galaxy!? Oh, they're attacking us, okay let's just beam a torpedo to their home planet and see what happens...
So you're telling me that when 2 out of 3 doctors do not diagnose autism, it means the 3rd must be right? You, as someone presumably scientifically oriented in nature, should look at that factor and start questioning whether that's true. Furthermore, the fact that the child has been told he's socially awkward, raised as though he is autistic, sheltered from the rest of the world, and there is 0 interaction with his age group whatsoever, the likelihood, in my book, is that his traits come from an overbearing mother.
To me, and knowing what I know about the mother, she's the type that follows the belief that the rain dance works. Of course the rain dance works, it works because the Native Americans didn't stop until it rained, which was bound to happen eventually, whether it was an hour later or a month and a half later. You search under enough rocks and you'll find just about anything. She merely asked enough doctors to agree with her and found that it was true in the eyes of one of them.
Now, I know a decent number of people with autism and people with Aspgerer's. One of them, I see on a semi-regular basis. He makes it out to my facility about once every other year and the conversations, as well as the interactions, are frightfully difficult for him. You can see it in his mannerisms as well as if you every try shake his hand. He cannot handle it, but he has overcome many issues and has even made a speech to, not only a group of people, but the general public. If you want to see the man I'm speaking of and the speech I'm talking about, it's readily available here (1:05ish-3:10ish). In it, he address the public in thanks for a Technical Grammy.
While I do not doubt your statements about yourself and others, you can call me a cynic as much as you like, but I find it extremely hard to believe that at least two different doctors, two different school districts' special ed specialists (who handle a number of autistic students) as well as a private school's specialist all considered this boy to be non-autistic. Furthermore he was capable of, socially awkward, but standard communication via conversation, I consider it his mother shopping for autism in her child (which there is a push for in this damned country because parents want their children treated as special in the school districts). The father has left them and wants nothing to do with her or the child (since before he was diagnosed with autism from my understanding).

Sounds like a good option.

They're called football fans over there. Or worse, hooligans.
I'd be surprised if someone didn't fork it. Not like it'd be difficult to do a fork, audit, and update as needed.
Being that it's open sourced, I'll wait 2 months and someone will audit the code, then I'll consider it. (yes, I don't know enought o do that myself).

No it's not. If you go no contract, the 5s is only $649.99, the Nexus 5 is only $349.99...

I think we should stop this tangent...
Harrison is based off of Ardour as I recall.
As someone who lives in Fort Wayne...Why!? And yes, you're right, there are way too many strip clubs with A squads that look like C squads...
Have you tried LFS?
This is a perfect explanation of what is going on. Now, whether I'd say they're being heavy handed or not, that's a different story. Personally, I think this should be a situation of the students were idiots about it and should've asked permission first.
You could try calling him...but his aide won't be working and he won't know how to answer the phone without the aide...
Or you live in Florida...Most states require some sort of certification for full time teachers, subs can usually get a gig with just a degree.
Is that the table is titled "I Can't Believe I Have to Make This Table". Made me smile.
Better than Philosophy. You can teach high school.
