i wonder why web 2.0 hype comes up in every piece of crap about IT.
let me tell you what i see that creates the talented tech shortage - internet is a freeing medium - it has given much opportunity to anyone.
almost all programmers, developers, techies go set up their own small, even home-based shops and work from there for themselves, after getting screwed in a corporate environment for 5-10 years and getting fed up with it. the newcomers are just taking the example of their older peers, and directly going to self-employment after short stints.
and also theres the booming internet business - everyone is wanting some internet store, some tailored cms, some web presence and stuff. it is on the increase, and even in l.a.m.p. scene where there are many 3rd world country located developers doing work for $3 hourly rates, the tech supply can barely meet the demand. more developers coming into the scene, yet more work is coming. so its not 'web 2.0' or whatever crap that is involved in making web pages more widgety and doohickeyish - its a silent, people's boom in business in contrast to company/startup boom of the 90s, which was more traditional business than the small business boom that is on the net nowadays.
no sir, the reason thats creating the shortage is in internet business is booming, and what is booming is small businesses. small businesses do not put any restraints on the contracted or full time developers they work with or employ. hence people are escaping the clutches of stuffing, stressful corporate structure and setting up their shops.
and this is going to be like this increasingly, unless the corporations understand the need to reform and change the corporate philosophy to a more human oriented one rather than a "man in black suits" / "welcome to the world of career bitches" one.
I just don't see why a UFO would bother hiding badly. If they didn't want us to see them we wouldn't if they didn't care they would be impossible to miss.
probably the same kind of approach which we employ against isolated amazon tribes to preserve their "culture and heritage" - even medicine is allowed to be brought to these tribes by government/international organization approval, leave aside any tv or any modern garment even. you need to get many permits to go even see them, if you can ever get one.
yea i do. living in turkey, i know how iran pumps out money to hezboullah, hamas and similar radical islamist organizations and make them do its own bidding in many countries. i can tell worse stories than exploding trucks, but those would darken the day.
The issue with me163 is not the shape. what can define something of an alien origin is the flight characteristics. in many ufo sightings craft perform maneouvers that are impossible for even 2007 technology on earth to achieve. No material and human can withstand a 90 degrees turn whilst in 3000 km/h or more speeds without reducing speed, leave aside the fact that perfect 90 degree turns is not possible with any thrust tech on this planet.
the reason they didnt fly 163 is basically the fact that it was plainly a rocket plane, which was utterly impractical, a flying smoking bomb that was very prone to explode, very short usage duration and effectivity. they definitely would take a few hikes on the plane, and maybe examine its tech. but then they used these in x1, which has broken the sound barrier, and even x1 is not something that is advanced in flight characteristics to be taken as something of an alien tech.
the events over white house i speak of date kenneth arnold, and roswell incidents, and nobody was able to mistake them for flock of birds, as they hovered high, and disappeared when t33's came near. repeatedly for a considerable time. but im not sure from whence i can find related stuff on the net now, when i dealt with this was way back in 1980s.
a guy dying signs an affidavit, and its still not enough. what would prove alien existence then - one of them coming and pissing all over your face in the middle of the night ?
but there are many incidents of unidentified aircraft appearing over white house, hovering high, and then vanishing speedily when jets take up to intercept, just about the time of the roswell incident.
me 163 is an aircraft thats impossible not to identify. its basically a burning stick, with a very low maneuver capability. its reported that such craft can do 90 degrees turns while going over 3000 km/hour speeds without any slowing down.
from what i know, the ones who are blowing up trucks in front of mosques are not american, but ARABS WHO ARE BEING PAID BY IRAN. cut the crap with the "christian atrocity" shit. apparently you do not know jack about middle east history. the things islamist factions did to each other during the last 500 years would dwarf even nazi.
Yea it actually is.
1. At this time the P-80 shooting star was the top of the line fighter the US had. It would have a very hard time shooting down a 737 much less a space craft of any type.
2. The US air defense network at that time was almost none existent.
3. SAM sites? The US didn't have them yet.
Also the US doesn't really have a history of shooting down aircraft over our air space.
If you compare the number of Soviet recon aircraft the US has shot down vs the number the US has lost you will see that the US really isn't that trigger happy.
You don't know many people in our military do you? why do you people think a crash would have to result from a crappy 1945 design ancestral jetfighter shooting an alien craft i dont understand.
ANY craft in the end is some contraption/machine that functions, and even in the most utopical societies there is/will always be the risk of machines/contraptions malfunctioning.
It would totally defy the concept of physics to say that the machine couldnt malfunction.
it is highly probable that any craft that can traverse any length of distance can malfunction at any given point in time.
republican ? giuliani ? i heard he left the republican party but apparently he is still republican. someone just explain me why these kind of stuff happens only with republicans
just like homeland security, mi5 or any other secret service. guys, this really got out of hand. if you people at u.s. lighten up and turn this woman's lawsuit into a class action lawsuit, you can stem the tide in this charade.
Why arent these corporations lobbying for net neutrality with heapload of cash they have earned from the denizens of "internet nation" ?
We made them, and its now their turn to protect what we, including themselves, have on the internet - a free community that is above and over nations.
this is time for their giving back to community. they should set up lobbying power and start lobbying in full force asap.
i know google is doing some, but it is not enough. all needs to move in and get on the same bandwagon. google and microsoft and others might be competitors in many things, but net neutrality is something that we all are on the same bandwagon.
To clarify, if you're unfamiliar with Platform Publishing, Sony Online Entertainment will only be publishing the game; they will have nothing to do with development.
after swg, whenever i see soe anywhere, i get irked. Its good that they were wise only to let them do publishing.
"university" of washington. a "university" which has regulatory boards dont know jack about electronics or internet that they can decide an IP defines a person.
not only that, but they are very quick with their hands to sell out their students.
woe to those who chose uw as their higher education place. if you got time to switch, hop on another university's bandwagon - one that is not suck-up to SHITAAA.
Gamers are a hardcore crowd. You cant win against them.
For starters, around 8 million people are playing wow, another approx a million on swg, another some million on eve, some on everquest, guildwars - start counting and never stop.
these work on xp. these people dont need vista.
this move assumes that pc is like a console - something that you can lock people in. it was old times, pal, you cant do it anymore.
see, they already cracked your consoleish trickery.
First, they cut down on spectacular comedy series they have been doing, and instead turned to crappy NBC imitation shows with subjects like forensic detectives, thrillers, crapola and crap.
now going microsoft drm way. beh.
apparently whomever is directing the channel now has no wits.
Yeah, sup $cientologist. Why don't you mod your post up using your amazing psychic powers?
if scientologists are opposing the crap that "psychologists" are putting forward, hell i would be in the same camp with them. there is no difference - an invented religion of sci-fi fanatics versus another invented religion of darwinist-survivalist-victorian wannabees.
ECT is somewhat of a last resort, but here's the thing : IT USUALLY WORKS. Many people have had their lives transformed for the better by it.
last resort before what - hanging the patient ?
works well as in totaly stupefying someone to the extent that s/he now can conform with the society's wants ? better for what - society or the patient ?
It's true that psychology is not perfect,
ill talk in family guy terms - psychology SUCKS.
particularly in the US where there seems to be an undue reliance on questionable drug therapy as first-line treatment, probably as an unfortunate legacy of psychologists trying to be taken seriously as "real" doctors. Also I have my doubts over whether certain disorders like ADHD truly exist or are just bad parenting. But null and void? Umm, no.
problems of psychology exists because of their being overly reliant on darwinist, victorian, overly mechanical stuff that is put forth by freud and the like - which was the common approach to any science, heck, anything these days. while they work fantastic for math, physics and chemistry, human emotions and mental state is not something mechanical and simplistic. its more chaotic. and whatever crap they are throwing at, some of which i had the misfortune to have to take as a course in university, can never pass even near of explaining it.
the disaster is, they are trying to "cure" people with this sorry excuse of a "science".
And dont excuse me for saying that too. in the preface of some psychology, sociology books, it is explained in length that why "psychology/sociology is a science". does any mathematics book need it ? does any physics book ? heck, even geology book ?
it cant even bring reasonable explanations to basic humane feelings, still using darwinist/victorian stuff that is remnant of the 1880s, yet the bullcrap that is spurt out from it is actively used on people in practices.
"electroshock therapy" - get a load of that. can you imagine that is actually a form of "treatment" ? you tie someone and you give non lethal dosages of electricity until s/he forgets whatever shit s/he was about. just similar to hitting someone with a baseball bat in the head, but this one is called a "therapy"
drugging people to oblivion, eradicating all symptoms, hence make-believing that whatever psychological issue the individual had, are gone.
and now they are on to gaming, internet. the BIGGEST revolution, innovation that has ever happened to mankind - the internet.
they cant even sort their own branch's shit straight, but they are apparently able to explain complex phenomenon.
i dont give a jack about what psychologists think, or what they decide.
you must be new to slashdot, since you have no idea that "you are my foe so i am downmodding you" philosophy gets severely punished by the administration.

when you compare it to a technology that can do multiple 90 degree turns whilst going with 3000 km/h, it only classifies as crappy.

you gotta love politics. you can make them congresscritters say "fishes live in sequoia trees" if you pay them enough.
what were you ? corporal ? sergeant ? junior lieutenant ? we are talking about career military man here. not conscripts or volunteers.
a guy dying signs an affidavit, and its still not enough. what would prove alien existence then - one of them coming and pissing all over your face in the middle of the night ?

that would be your character, your upbringing, your formation.
what you describe is not the mindset of a military person.
