Don't worry, if you have account with TD Ameritrade, they'll take care of that for you.
Privacy would be a lot more meaningful if companies that lost personal information got more than a slap on the wrist. I made more or less all the right decisions, then my brokerage is bought out by those guys and all of a sudden I'm receiving personalized emails only requiring a credit card number to get generic v1@g4ra.
Typically if you run a business where the managers set the course and standards and the employees are free to go about it however they like to finish their piece you don't have much trouble getting things done. Provided the manager has the sense to actually ask about how realistic the plans are from a technical standpoint.
There's no reason why a manager needs to understand the industry, provided he's smart enough to recognize when subordinates are more informed and can focus on getting things coordinated so that things run smoothly.
If you want a more effective company, get rid of as many leeches, er managers, as you can possibly lose. Then just pay the employees something that resembles their value. Most of the time when companies complain about poor management, what they're really saying is that they don't really feel like paying for or otherwise investing in their employees, but can't figure out why the managers can't get any quality.
Well, of course you can't get quality if you're managers are incompetent, but managers have never been the source of production. At best they're coordinating things so that the employees can focus as much on production as possible.
The theoretical reason for deleting articles is that if they're not notable, there's likely to be inaccuracies due to nobody looking at the page on a regular basis. And even if it was accurate when it went up things change.
The main problem is that nobody can really decide what is and isn't notable, and it frequently comes down to politics. However now that there's been this scandal, Old Man Murray should be considered notable. If for no other reason than demonstrating Wikipedia editorial douche baggery.
I'm a photographer, and whenever I want to use a picture which prominently features somebody I have to have permission to show it. The sites I use require a model release form. And even if their in the background, I have to worry about whether or not the individuals are identifiable.
It's one thing to be taking pictures of somebody in public, but if you're disseminating those photos, particularly online, there does need to be some permission. Privacy expectations when a recording is done, definitely ought to have additional protections over ones that are just observational.
Because CD quality is already over kill. You'd be hard pressed to find somebody that can tell the difference between that and a LAME preset standard MP3 at 192kbps variable file. The only reason that I insist upon lossless compression is that I like to know that I can compress it in the future as many times as I like for various applications and still have a good copy to go back to.
Unless you're working with the materials in a studio mastering an album, you've got more information in a CD than you're going to perceive. I've got ears that are far better than anybody else I've run into, and I still can't hear a difference between the CD and that MP3 I described.
I've read that, but I'm not really convinced that it's true, at least not for discs produced since the mid 90s. I've tried all sorts of cheap media and audio CDs, and it's pretty rare as far as I can find for a disc that goes unreadable in only a couple years. The physical damage to the disc is much more likely of a concern.
That being said, I have taken to protecting my discs with DVDisaster and keeping the ISO on disc, it just makes sense for those times when your house falls over and sinks into a swamp. Physical discs can't be backed up to an offsite storage without being located in only one place or physically making duplicates.
FLAC is great, but I personally prefer to embed those files into a Matroska file complete with a table of contents. Makes it a lot more convenient to keep track of my files since I pretty much just listen to entire albums, or portions anyways.
That's bullshit. While the GPL does not prevent authors from putting it into the Appstore, if Apple can't comply with the GPL terms, Apple can't redistribute the programs. The license to redistribute the code or software is derived from the GPL, not from the party that owns the copyright. Since they presumably chose to offer it under the terms of the GPL.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
This bit here is what's causing the trouble. Apple adds ToS to purchases through the Apple store which covers anything that's sold through their Appstore. The GPL absolutely does not allow for this sort of amendment to the distribution rights and it clearly states so in various parts of the license.
DRM does inherently conflict with the GPL. DRM is specifically about preventing users from exercising some of the rights that the GPL provides. As in it's there to prevent you from copying the code. Now, I suppose that you could recompile the software without the DRM, but that's really reaching.
I'm just surprised that Steve allows Apple users to keep their keyboards, mouses and touchscreen. I'm thinking their getting dangerously inventing something like this: Apple's goal invention.
To be honest, I used to use gnome a bit, and KDE, but I've found that they're both just way too much. I don't need or use most of the stuff they insist on installing. One of the things that I'm digging about Archlinux is that they aren't forcing you to install anything in particular as a WM.
Because Google is an easy target. We already know that their acquisition of Doubleclick violated Clayton, the question is what else might they have violated. And taking on a Wall Street darling would definitely send a message to corporate America, that this could happen to you.
Just because there are other offenders or worse offenders doesn't make Google's violation any less significant, buying up that much of the ad market was an extremely dangerous thing to do.
I disagree, investigating Google is a real antitrust probe. In fact it's been a long time coming. Remember when they illegally acquired doubleclick? Had the DoJ been doing its job that would never have gone through because it was a blatant violation of Clayton. Google has grown to the point where there's the very real problem of it's market clout damaging competitors, and given that the clout was illegally obtained, this definitely is a warranted investigation.
Advertising is all about eyes, and when you have more eyes than the competition you have a competitive advantage. Getting those eyes by buying up your next competitor isn't something which screams competitive market, at least not in my eyes.
This is a related problem. But unlike travel which can be mitigated by either avoiding it or traveling by car/train, DST is something that's imposed by the government and cannot easily be avoided if you're in an area that observes it. Few employers are going to let you come in late to avoid having your circadian rhythm disrupted.
That's not an issue unless the birth rate really drops. In China their going to have serious issues due to the rate at which the population has been dropping, but if it were a 2 child policy, the population would drop somewhat more gradually and be much less serious. You'd still have a significant drop, because you'd likely end in the 1-2 children per family range which is grossly insufficient to keep up the population. An average of 1.9-2 children per family would likely be much less of an issue. With about 2.1 per family being needed to keep the population stable typically.
All the schools I've ever been to require students to take calc 1 & 2 in order to get to linear algebra. Plus, you don't typically see series and sequences until calc 3, and those are probably the most useful portion of calculus for programmers. You don't see it until then because they typically want you to have an understanding of what exactly it is that you're doing.
Differential equations is probably not a bad thing to have under the belt either, depending upon what exactly it is that you're wanting to program. Besides, aren't computer scientists supposed to be more than glorified programmers?
And it's really not a waste, unless you fail to learn the conceptual basis for it. A lot of it is useful in terms of informing a person's way of looking at the world. Calculus itself is considered a freshman level series at most colleges and most other sciences require it as a condition of graduation. Sure if you focus on the calculations I'm sure it isn't terribly useful, but it does contribute towards ones understanding of how to model things mathematically.

I think they're looking for a copy of the Atari game. I've got a cart right here, no need to start looking on Google Earth.
