Yeah, and the SSL bug in Debian never happened, and was caught before it was released due to all the "scrutiny" of the review process. I am not claiming it happens all the time, just that it happens more than "never".
That wouldn't be very defiant now, would it? Maybe it is YOU who needs spelling lessons. "Defiantly" is a word, and is spelled correctly. And (completely unintentionally most likely)the meaning actually works in this case.
Yes, I also work in the land of academia, where I constantly joke PhD actually stands for "Please Help Dummy". And yes, professors fear change. When I started, most of them didn't even have passwords on their machines because "It was too hard to remember, and besides, I don't have anything important on there". Yeah. Except your grades, study data, protected medical information, etc.
I used to use the Pause key back in the DOS days - it would pause the output to the screen so if it was scrolling by to fast to read you could stop it and see what the output. I use the Windows key all the time when using keyboard shortcuts.
It isn't a matter of me knowing how, it is a matter of convincing my Luddite boss that spending money we don't have in the budget now is going to save us money down the road. She does not understand anything related to technology at all, and doesn't see the value of some of the tools I suggest. When I took over this job, the "system" was already in place and I have been doing what I can over time to make it better. But working with people who don't want anything to ever change can be challenging in the technology world. My problem is mostly bureaucratic, not a lack of knowledge on how things should be. I know how things should be, the problem is getting the funding to make it happen.
I certainly hope you are being paid a 6 figure income, or you are getting screwed. I manage about 100 desktops and laptops, a dozen printers, and a couple small file servers by myself, and it keeps me very busy. I couldn't even imagine taking on 6 times that amount without more help.
If that is truly the case, CES should have made the list of things you can and can't do public, and have all the companies agree to them before paying any fees, hotel room charges, travel charges, etc.
I think the issue here is the companies didn't think they were doing anything wrong, because they were not informed of the rules. (And in at least one case the company asked permission to the hotel and was granted permission by the hotel to have meetings.) If they had known they absolutely could not display products or have any meetings in their rooms beforehand, none of this would have been an issue. We know CES is a big customer to the hotel, but just because they spend some money does not give them the right to change the rules as they see fit. And if their argument is that the casinos lose money due to decreased gambling, and CES makes up the difference, then CES should have bought every room in the hotel out, and had the vendors arrange their stay directly with CES. Then they could have informed each company of the rules themselves, and could easily justify the additional rules with the fact they are paying the casinos the difference.
And while you are correct that hotels are private property, and the hotels can kick you out for any reason, they CANNOT keep all the money paid to rent the rooms. They can kick you out, but they have to refund your money unless you break the rules/laws established regarding hotels.
Funny, I think people who make up stupid nicknames for services such as "Facebut, Titer, and Myjunk" also prove they have an IQ below room temperature. And I live where it is cold.
I also think that people who would make such snap judgments about others based on the fact they use a service that allows them to easily follow all their friends bands schedules are missing out on a good chunk of the population who can use one of the above mentioned services, at home and not at work, without acting like a 12 year old girl.
Good luck stocking your company with elitist assholes who think they are better than everyone else. Sounds like a fun place to work.
I will *not* consider 'partyd00d420@whatever' for a job. Sorry, just not going to happen.
Ah, but what if said applicant was applying to a head shop? Then I would imagine that email address would be a pro rather than a con. It's all about the context.
Yeah, I was wondering about that too. I wonder if it uses Wake on LAN technology at all.
As it is, my current cell phone uses my home WiFi to make calls when I am at home anyway, so I doubt this device would be much benefit to me personally.
Well, considering when I am not actively using it, and the computer is in sleep mode, it only consumes about 5-6 watts I am not too worried about the few extra dollars per year I spend leaving it on all the time. That is the equivalent of burning a 120 watt light bulb for about an hour a day.
How is that any different from your cell phone? That also has to be on to make and receive calls. What is the big deal? Besides, my PC is on 24/7 anyways.

Seeing as they are a SOFTWARE company, I believe they want people to concentrate on the actual GAME, and leave all the stupid arguments about gender out of it. So, way to fail. The only person that seems to have any issue with the gender change so far is you AC.
Yes, I would imagine a significant one. Again, the only thing I was stating is that an attached garage will have *some* indirect heat. Not a significant amount, not enough to confuse having several dozen 1000 watt lights in, but *some*.
Who grows in the top of their garage though? The heat buildup would be too much I would imagine. Growing in the basement where heat can dissipate into the ground, and your roof isn't blazing hot, would seem to be the way to go.

it will take thousands to millions of dollars to buy a cup of coffee.
I see you frequent Starbucks too.
Probably due to the fact our finite brains cannot really grasp the concept of "infinite space".

Having more room for links that are impossible to click on isn't going to benefit your page.

Ah, but what if said applicant was applying to a head shop? Then I would imagine that email address would be a pro rather than a con. It's all about the context.
Anyone who is designing web content for mobile devices should not be making links that are only a few pixels in height.
You know the expression - "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, then three, four, five, six, seven times...won't get fooled again."

That is the $64,000 question, isn't it? Ultimately a judge will. As the quote goes "I can't define pornography, but I will know it when I see it."
Yeah, I thought of that about 2 seconds after I posted - some areas of the country do not have basements. Too used to living in the Midwest, I guess.
