This guy is angry because, amongst other things, Google has made 40% of his debugging skills useless. Apperantly, his problem is that this means that other people without his "superskills" can develop software for Android.
So your solution is to pretend that the US is "standalone"? As far as I know, the US has not been self-sufficient since the 1950's. Not being a member of, for example, WTO will just hurt the US economy in the long run. The US is facing the same problems as Europe; low-cost countries like China can produce goods of the same (or higher) quality at a much lower cost. The solution? Do something they cant do, develop new stuff.
I've been paying attention. They stopped doing it after the Soviet Union fell, it was too expensive and meaningless. They started flying again last year (or maybe 2007). Vladimir Putin (then russian president) said that they were rebuilding their military and that strategic bombers is an important part of it.
University != everyone
Take a look at the rest of Norway, Apple products (except for iPhone and iPod) are quite rare. I rarely see any Mac's in any of the companies I visit. In the company I work for there is _one_ Macbook and over 100 PC's.
Its the same problem in Norway. The person-numbers (Norwegian SSN's) are built this way:
DD MM YY III CC
The three first groups are your date of birth (which is found in all public records).
The next group (III) are individual numbers ranging from 000 to 999. If you are born before 2000 it is under 500, if your born after it is over. If you are male it is a odd number and even for girls. So if you know the date of birth and a persons gender there are 250~ possible numbers.
The last group are control digits used to calculate a valid person-number.
Most (if not all) banks and other important thing use the numbers as both identification and authentication...
Who will ever even attempt to certify this bank again?
If the auditor made a mistake I can understand the bank, but if the problem was caused by a user, I can not see how to auditor is responsible...
Some potential solutions:
- Guest account/limited user
- Quit school and get a real job! (And get the hell of my lawn!)
- Show them the finger and tell them to go fuck themselves
- Show them the finger and tell them to go buy a bloody laptop
For drop cables and cables to and from client computers I normally buy in bulk. That way I don't have to make 50 1m cables or 50 1,5m cables. For "custom runs" I usually make it myself as it is cheaper than buying a cable with some odd length.
So one can connect to the Internet via the iPhone?
That would be amazing if it was not for the fact that it is and has been possible on phones for a long time.
You have do get the source and compile it yourself like this:

Give some time, you will be doing the same things in a while.
A school I worked at: - 1500 users - ~1000 computers - 3 techs Other place I worked: - 100 users - 5 techs Now: - 70 users - 3 techs

To show their power, just like they have started flying strategic bombers past the Norwegian coast line towards the UK.
Russian rocket fired from a submarine. The russians of course denies this because the rocked failed. Case closed, next!
So.... I guess you really like penises?
I agree with the parent.

Can anyone figure out the Vista/7 control panel without anyone holding their hand?

Did you install the new cartridge right? (You are excused if you are a manager...)

One of the authors point is "Huge shutdown time". I guess he has never tried to turn off a Windows machine with lots of services running....
Just lick a kid with autism and you will be safe!

Hah! When I was a boatbuilder we didn't even have screwdrivers, we used our teeth! Now get off my lawn!
What is this buying you are talking about? Do you mean sponsoring TPB?
I can't really imagine myself working in a 40C environment with bad air

This is slashdot.... enough said. Now get off my lawn!
So, can I finally get a 20' container with IBM servers in it?
