I'm surprised that this is a big surprise. I thought it was common knowledge that oxygen deprivation and the effects of altitute were the most deadly factors...
I've interviewed for Administrator positions and the one thing I noticed in the reactions of the other people on the panel, is that education counts for a hell of a lot less than people think.
From what I've seen, and it might not be true everywhere, but people want to see your on-the-job experience. They basically want to see that what you did in your last job is the same as what you will be doing in the new job. And they mean last job, they want you to have experience and they want the experience to be current.
A degree or diploma or certificates are all probably enough - if you've got the experience. None are good enough on their own. The last interview I did the rest of the panel were really blown away by this chick who had no formal education at all, but plenty of experience.
you have a lot fewer enemies than you think, a lot of whom you call enemies are just operating to their own self interests. They are not your natural enemies.
It's probably more a case of them being worried that some one else will get the patent first and cause them a lot of grief in the future, rather than McDonalds trying to control all sandwich making, everywhere...
an interesting number might be the number of crashes divided by the install base of each of these browsers, a reported crash per installed browser tally if you like.
You make a good point, but I'd like to finish it for you. Apple users also have loads of legacy software, but the Apple approach to this problem is that legacy users aren't forced to upgrade to the latest and greatest. The Microsoft way is an upgrade cycle where things like product activation stop working. So, yes things change on the Mac, but you are never locked out of your legacy systems...
My thoughts: the subject / pronoun isn't implied, it's explicitly built in to the verb when it is conjugated. "Estoy hablando" can only mean: I am talking. If you want "are talking", that's a going to need a different pronoun (we or they) which in Spanish would be:
Estan hablando (they are talking)
Estamos hablando (we are talking)
Again, "estan", "estamos" and "esta" are fully conjugated that explicitly state the pronoun, you may not use these conjugated verbs interchangeably[1].
When verbs are so specific by their conjugation the pronoun isn't needed, as it is in English because we have way fewer conjugations on the verb.
So therefore something like: "Estoy hablando" would translate directly into "I am talking" and not to "is talking" or "am talking".
[1] Exception with usted, which is a polite second person in which people that you address are talked to in the third person, much like this manor of speaking: "is his majesty satisfied" when you talk to the King type thing...
okay that looks like shit: I'll try again without the accents:
A more clear example to illustrate this would be "He is talking" would directly translate into "Esta hablando".
"Esta" being the verb "estar" (to be) conjugated with the third person pronoun "el" (he). That's why the construction "el esta hablando" is redundant, the "el" is only needed for emphasis, which would be something like: He, he is talking... but "esta hablando" would translate to: "he is talking", and not: "is talking", even thought there is no explicit pronoun present.
Which is basically what I am saying. To someone on the outside (someone who doesn't know much about the genre) comic book might seem like a good word for the entire format. There really is no other word used for this... even if it's connotations are not accurate. It means for most people, a publication where the story is represented by sequential drawings (that are normally in frames).
You, as an enthusiast, have a far richer undrestanding of the genre, and would never refer to the whole format as comics, but instead know comic to be a particular sub genre.
It's the same with anything - take music. Most people think Classical music is stuff that people wrote a long time ago and is played in orchestras. People that are interested in music know that Classical Music is actually a sub genre of Music with fairly well defined boundaries (ie. music made from 1750 to 1820 in the western music tradition).
But still Classical Music is well understood as a format is understood to mean music played with a certain set of instruments in a certain type of arrangement, which does work to a certain degree...
In all fainess the closer you are to a genre in terms of interest and involvement the more finely sub gengres become defined. So what to you or I might be a comic book, to others might be Manga (or something else, if I actually knew any sub genres I'd have written some in). They are both comic books, yes. But yes they can also be defined by their sub genres.
Seriously, could Hollywood once--just for like a year--come out with only original semi-risky ventures? I mean, can we go one year without another recycled video game, without another tired sequel of an already diluted franchise, without another rehashed Mike Myers persona that's really just Austin Powers, etc. I mean, is that too much to ask?

Oh is that how it works? All I have to do is not buy it??? Thanks you're a life saver...
People aren't stupid, sheeple are stupid ;-)

I subconciously knew there was sexual inuendo in what I said when I wrote it but I didn't know where.

Thanks for pointing it out

I would have modded you up just for the neat phrase you invented: got disastrous ;)

no, but if the ratio of your non reports to your reports is constant or nearly so, then it might still mean something...

I came here to read the comments in an effort to try and work out why I bothered reading the article at all...
I've never seen TEHY spelled like that before...

In Spanish, at least, it comes out as Is Raining.
Not really, it still comes out as it's raining, because the verb to be has been conjugated with the pronoun.
A more clear example to illustrate this would be "He is talking" would directly translate into "Està hablando".
"EstÃ" being the verb "estar" (to be) conjugated with the third person pronoun "él" (he). That's why the construction "él està hablando" is redundant, the "él" is only needed for emphasis.
actually it's getting hard to find even incompetent developers these days...

Hollywood likes comic book movies because every ten minutes you are guaranteed to have an action scene.
And of course the films have already been storyboarded ;-)

Yes, yes it is.
