Nobody (except you, apparently) is talking about mandatory training to become a programmer. This is more like a familiarization course, so that they at least know what a programmer IS and what that job entails. An astounding percentage of people seem to consider "programmer" on par with "wizard" in terms of comprehension.
That's why, when they don't hire you based on age, they will NEVER say so, they always come up with some excuse. You didn't get passed over because you're 50, you got passed over because we liked that $OTHER_APPLICANT has $UNRELATED_USELESS_SKILL, and we chose for that reason. You were quite evenly matched otherwise.
EEO laws did NOTHING to make hiring equal. They only made employers less honest about why they chose who they chose. It's still entirely WHO you know, and not WHAT you know.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the CIA totally deny not knowing who made Stuxnet, and that they were sure they totally weren't excluding themselves, and various other CIA double-negativisms that all but said "We did that?" Can't we just say "Duqu written by CIA, just like Stuxnet, on the same dev platform?"
I'm working on transferring my domain off of GoDaddy, but am destitute. Anyone who would like to send me a few bucks, I'll guarantee it's used only for this transfer.
"Want to prove me wrong? Want to prove how "powerful" you really are? Come after me then. I can deal with a few little bitch-ass kids, especially when the worst they're ever going to threaten me is to have a few pizza's sent to my house. Hey, no problem. I can actually afford a pizza, unlike you shitdicks harvesting BitCoin in your basement hoping to get some cheap weed."
For me, my relatives, and other private users, this is undoubtedly a Good Thing. There better be an opt-out clearly defined and honored, though, because there are many big companies out there denying the passage of time.
An unnamed multinational Big Pharma up the road from me still uses a major in-house app which is coded specifically to IE6's foibles. They've actually coded up some horrible hackjob that runs IE6 on Windows 7, rather than fix the horrible in-house app.
It was only a 2$/month price change in Netflix's best case. In my case, 3 discs at once, 2 DVD, 1 Bluray plus streaming was 17.99$ previously, and a great deal. They revised that to 27.99$/month for me, and I responded by cancelling.
This single example is the problem Netflix had, in microcosm. Sticker shock. Was it still a good deal at 28$/month? Probably. Could I have adjusted my plan down to, say, single Bluray and streaming to get my old price point back? Looks like. Did I? No.
Why not? Because the difference between old price and new price pushed it from a price I could pay without much thought into the range where I consider the necessity.
Yeah, but that's not a very happy version of "survive". At constant 2.4G, you'll have major circulatory, digestive, and bone strength issues. On the other hand, after a few hundred generations, we'd have dwarves that would look right at home in a Tolkien story. Probably be incredibly strong and durable, too. Homo Sapiens Khazad.
I understand your position and somewhat agree. For me, however, it's more like the days of DVD, where you could hold out for no region lock, no CSS, and/or a legitimate Linux player app....
Or you could be thankful that CSS was such a lousy encryption scheme, buy only the DVDs you really wanted most, and buy anything that was DRM-free, whether you wanted to watch that or not.
I don't buy Amazon because I love them so much, or feel morally obligated. I buy Amazon because their DRM has been crap so far.
We tolerate this now from drunks, why not tolerate stoners too? Hell, the stoners I've known have been quieter and more peaceful on the balance than the drunks, and they've often known they were impaired and declined to drive, versus the drunks who insist they're just tipsy and then back over lawn ornaments...
Since you're familiar with Calibre, why aren't you familiar with Unswindle? There's even a plugin for Calibre to link the two.
I rarely *buy* my ebooks. There's just too much good stuff out there that's price-free, DRM-free, or both.
When I *do* buy an ebook, I buy from Amazon, run it through unswindle+Calibre, and have the text, formatted, with pictures, table of contents, etc, exactly as purchased, in the format(s) I choose, with no DRM.
It's entirely possible to work within the system and still get an officially forbidden result.

I doubt that. The Carl Gustav rocket launcher remained painfully OP in Bad Company 2. They tuned it down a little, sure, but only because the "anti-armor" weapon was the weapon of choice for EVERY target.
About the same as you throwing a small ice chip into a bonfire. Your incredible lack of scale is ASTOUNDING. If you could magically 'pump' heat from the core to the surface or vice versa, there's enough heat energy in the core to LIQUEFY the surface of the earth for thousands of years. Also, the amount we'd be tapping into is an infinitesimal fraction of what the Earth naturally radiates each day.
I have one of these, been running DD-WRT since late on day 1, no issues. Dual band, dual radio abgn. Might be getting difficult to find, but the high end Linksys routers are a fairly safe bet, and the DD-WRT wiki will answer your questions.

Wake me when we get to 7.1. At this rate it ought to be sometime this fall.

Actually, if you read fully, it's quite tongue-in-cheek, particularly when your IP is clean (Go Usenet!).
Please, take me with you! I want to ESCAPE!

Thanks for not reading. From the post you are replying to:

Can it be? September will finally end?
It's too late, I think. The damage was done.

Both are correct.
TFS is, of course, wrong, as usual.
