when just 20 new drugs won approval from the Food and Drug Administration
Crisis? Seems like they are getting their act together. It takes TIME to really know what these drugs do, and I for one am not happy with so many drugs get released and are then pulled a few years later due to some life threatening side effect.
The only difficult part, usually, is getting to the break.
Ok - I called the man to ask "why" he changes 400/hr. He gets called when it's needed very fast and money is on the line bigtime. He gets on the phone, calls his people, gets them to the site fast, etc. Lots of municiple hurdles to get through, transportation of the right people to some sites is a bitch, sometimes massive construction is involved.... its often a royal pain in the ass to get through all the hurdles, especially when you are talking big cities. Thats when they call him, hes calls his team, he rapidly transports the right poeople to the site, calls the mayor...whatever. I see what you are saying, and "the dude" confirmed.

Right, thats what he does. My question is - the skill to *find* a break, is that just *people* networking skills? And if so, can you explain how? I mean, is there any way to technically find out where a break is?
I know a guy who lives nearby who is a cut-fiber troubleshooter (and a good one). He will be chilling on the beach, his phone will ring, and he is on the next plane to (wherever). He troubleshoots the problem, extrapolates where the cut is (if they dont know already) spends the flight on the plane-phone, and get a team in action to fix the problem now. Sometime, they have no clue where the cut is and that is a big bitch when you have several hundred or thousand miles of fiber. The dude makes 400$/hr and is well known. Damn, I need a new job!
IBM's chips are power-hungry and generate a lot of heat, and therefore not suitable to notebook computers.
PowerPC chips are made for the embedded space, not for notebooks. In fact, this is the primary source on profit for IBM's PowerPC line - again, the embedded space. Apple was a blip on IBM's chip radar that made A LOT of noise and demands over the line. IBM is releaved they left I hear. As for Apple, well, they have quite a bit of leverage over Intel with such large purchaces that are inevitiable in the future. This is your WIN-WIN - IBM gets Apple off its back, Apple is stuck to a real solid dual-core product line and beyond, Intel get's Apples stylish business.... What took y'all so long?
This goes to show you just how UN-PURE OS X is! A true unix OS has VI which OS X does not so it is not! Whomever you are, you are both intelligent and wise, thanks for your comment!
I've said it here before: I'm a pretty good programmer, and I've been fighting viruses for years. Be glad I don't write the damned things; I could probably cripple the world. The same is true for any half-competant programmer with an interest in security.
You have to wonder. There are fewer virus' being written for Mac OX. There are also way less security researchers scruitinizing OSX compared to XP. I wonder if, in general, its much easier to "slip by, and keep slipping by" the OS X than XP. Hmmmmmmm.
You macro-writing emacs-installing COWARD! Behold the simplicity and power of the only true text editor for UNIX, VI. No matter what UNIX machine I log on, in the entire world, I have the power to edit text without installing software, and that matters when I am developing code and fixing code on many dozen machines that I do not even own! That makes me infinitely more powerful that you EMACS users, lower than DIRT ON A WORM.
After all, how different is dressing up for a Star Trek Convention and a Football game? Not much...
Uh, putting on a little face paint is way different than dressing in full on starship officer uniform, along with starfleet phaser rifle, with working communicator badge and a special 24th (or whatever) century haircut to match. Not to mention learning a fake language and grunting at everyone to show just how much of a star trek GEEK you are! *grinz*
And hey, one of my worst memories as a kid was watching my fathers reaction as he drove me to a dungeons and dragons convention all dressed up like a wizard! He was not pleased.... But If I was going to a football game in fan regalia, he would have been stoked!
How do you benchmark a laptop that has almost no native software released for it yet? This is all very theoretical. I'm waiting for a real test with side-by-side machines running the same apps.
Now replace all the boring HTML with exciting AJAXified scriptaculosity!!
Shall we mention that there are few mature tools to develop Ajax apps, not to mention the massive cost to try and maintain Ajax code, not to mention the f'ed up work it takes to really make this stuff work on all popular browsers? Sure, it works, but it's a pain in the ass, time consuming, and a bitch to test properly.
Could be worse. Someone could have tossed in a terrible comment like, "I hope they don't build rockets like they build software" - see, his comment wasn't really THAT bad, ey?
Who the fuck uses the word neologism? "Privacy Geek" might also refer to someone who is an objective intellect simply studying the technical details of privacy laws as they pertain to todays digital culture.
Great idea - is there anything like this for WinXP? I know I'm scum of the earth, but I run 3 WindowsXP machines and a mac-mini for testing on my home network. And I have all sorts odd sized IDE drives, and keep getting odd sized drives from friends..... And need a tb of backup. I was getting ready to click on the *buy* button for a cheap raid card til I saw you post....
Now you are talking! AD&D 2nd edition was by far my favorite - and had a fantastic series of hard-cover books with great. Art. My friend was a Dungeon Master made it really tough - characters ran away from many battles. My campaigns, I gave out lots of magic items, characters sailed up levels, they took out 2-3 dragons at once - massive power-gaming battles with more magic flying around than we could keep up with at times. They played in my campaign for 4 years.
Long live gratuitous power gaming, Forgotten Realms and Drizzt knock-off PC's!

Newton fell off the Apple tree a long time ago for a reason - consolodation of product lines for higher profitability. Is there any chance in hades that Newton would get a renewed? Sure would have made a a great cell phone platform!

So how long until this image-laden (poorly optimized) site gets slashdotted?

If Intel is so Evil, then why did Apple (whom most Slashdotters worship) go with Intel and not AMD?

Live on the beach as a hippie living coconuts on Kauai. Get food stamps. Beats dying in Iraq for Bush buddies oil.
I admit to my lameness as a VI user now that I have basked in this guys obvious "real sysadmin" power!

Classy response to a crass comment. *applause*
