I suppose, but I've known panhandlers that actually had really nice apartments, one guy would make a hundred or two a day. It was tough work, but the money was worth it. It is far too easy to be able to afford a place with central heating, or windows, and the like to live under a bridge.
I've also known people who choose to be semi-homeless, I.E. they work at a job that would make 100+K per year, but only work 3-4 months, live in a tiny efficiency for those few months and squirrel away that cash. When they've had enough consulting, they drop their stuff in storage, notify the land-lord that they're moving out, and go back-packing across the world. However, I have yet to meet anybody that would willingly live under a bridge. Maybe I just don't know the "right" people...
If you can reach friends and family, can't you ask for help? Maybe I grew up in an environment where homelessness was not an option because I'm sure that I could chill on someone's couch until I worked my way back into an apartment. If you can't reach anybody on the internet who is willing or able to help you out while you're living under a bridge, perhaps you should re-evaluate your ongoing communications with those people. I realize that not everybody will be able to work up a western-union order for bus fair in a week or a cross-country plane ticket in a month to help their friend, you'd have to be pretty low on my list of acquaintances for me to not help you out, and I make sure I hang out with people that would do the same for me. This is really sad, while yes, its good that they can stay in contact, this is a case of communication without value.
Yeah, that and the lack of a "unified and comprehensive HIG" seems a little dishonest for a company that created a windows browser that looks NOTHING like any other piece of windows software, follows its own interface methods, and generally throws off the look and feel of the browsing experince. While i'm aware that a HIG should cover more than just the look and feel, it feels like google bends the rules when it comes to interface guidelines.
and up to 33.7% admitted other questionable research practices.
I wonder if this refers to shortcuts taken because its common knowledge, Such as, if you use water as a control lubricant, you might test its wetness, density, purity, viscosity, etc, to compare against water with a slippery polymer in it. I wonder if these "questionable" practices involved taking distilled water, making sure its pure distilled water, and then pulling the other factors off of charts for distilled water or if "Questionable" means something far worse.
The reason i bring this up is because hindsight is 20/20 and everybody knows every mistake that they've made, if they're smart and that's what they're fessing up to.
and who controls the feed? Who approves who gets to have their take on the feed? Does that entity have copyright on it? Will they go after people who record and replay the feeds without paying the fee much like the NFL and other sports leagues?
Can that entity blackball someone because of how they spin the feed? No entity, if given enough power, can resist the urge to go evil.
Well, one could expect those pay rates with 90 years of experience....
I kid, but yeah, the problem is that it might take them 8-9 months to find another job if they're disposed of when the system finally gets replaced by something that doesn't require a nice fat programmer maintenance salary. The salary, not the programmer being fat...
Heh, its fairly interesting, but it reminds me of how my favorite languages (perl and C) are declining in general use and my programming skills will go the way of cobol and fortran.
For some reason, (and i could be wrong) but it feels like the people who run thinkgeek, slashdot, and other sites under the umbrella may have a bit of autonomy as to how they run things. While yes, there will always be corporate mandates handed down from on high (DO THIS!), perhaps the ohloh.net managers will realize that how sourceforge does their ads was costing them big projects and would resist change as good nerds should.
Then again, I am an eternal optimist that likes to hope for the best, you don't gain anything by ignoring the best or the worst, but if you plan for rainy days but hope you never have to use the plan, you can sleep at night without nightmares.
currently, the past, current, and future hypothetical kids are all the same simply because they have their existence flag set to null. As such, the global compiler has recognized that and not compiled or populated the child.hypothetical() values across the fourth dimension. When the child.hypothetical() exists flag is set, then such distinctions will be made and populated across the time axis at the relevant points.
The US military has a (well, many) classified network and an unclassified network. All computing equipment has a little sticker on it that says that equipment is used for which (classified or unclassified) purpose. I'm sure that the hacked web servers all have a little blue sticker with white text that says that the server is to only work with unclassified info (websites, most likely). I wouldn't really call this a security breach any more than I'd call shoplifting a robbery. While yes, the web servers were indeed "hacked", its not like that webserver was hosting top secret plans in pdf form for distribution purposes.
Well, i'm not still paying, but i did find a few in the attic, my favorite is currently in a storage locker somewhere, but it works like a champ. I made an adapter to make it work with modern wall jacks but haven't made it ring yet (not that that is a bad thing).
You could always use achievements to educate people about lesser known portions of the game. Like have temporary achievements that stop when enough people get them. If a raid zone is not getting enough attention, perhaps the devs could tweak it and stick an achievement at the end. These achivements wouldn't be stuck to new content, but maybe as getting a way for people to go through stuff they haven't in a year or two.
If windows 7 is the only windows option for netbooks, and they don't want an os that inexplicably has a higher rate of returns on netbooks, they'll offer windows 7.
they install security software, update it by retrieving the latest definition file on another computer, and transferring that update to the new system, then running a full antivirus scan.
Just be sure to scan the thumb drive so you're not infecting it!

do you read LICD?

cause i think they beat you to it
but you'll never make EVERYONE buy it... simply because not everyone have money to spend on a PC game.
I have the money, I just wouldn't want to spend it on the sims. I have the time and bandwidth to pirate the sims, but I'm not gonna do that either.
Here's my excuse: EA is pirating their own game as an excuse to get DRM back in the game.

I thought it was hydro-hydroxic acid... Though hydric could just be an abbreviated form for it.

To paraphrase stewie griffin: "Now Tigerdirect can be somewhere else when the nerds don't order."
Yet another website that I won't change my buying habits for. Newegg FTW!

That would be alarming. Quite So. Unless they found a hard drive dropped by someone hoping to dispose of the data.
I'd be more alarmed if they gave equal press to sky-diving accidents or deep sea diving developments.
they install security software, update it by retrieving the latest definition file on another computer, and transferring that update to the new system, then running a full antivirus scan.

True. I can picture a board meeting on how they'd attempt to cure cancer: "Lets point a rocket at it!"
