A gender balanced workplace is usually more effective anyway.

They got rid of free coffee at HP. I understand your pain. I would be bitter about that too.
So, you expect me to lie?
Exactly. The correct thing to say in an exit interview is: nothing, except facts that are strictly required. Such as the manner in which your personal effects are to be returned to you. Above all, do not sign anything. Nothing. You have no obligation to, and nothing you sign will do you any good.
Let's recap: say nothing. Sign nothing. Smile. Shake hands. Leave and get on with life. If you were treated unfairly, the time for redress is later. Meanwhile, you can at least take solace in the fact your HR friends will be feeling distinctly uncomfortable about the fact you didn't sign.
OK, but what if signing something releases a severance package that includes, say, 6-months worth of Salary?
I'm intrigued by this comment and the fact I cannot find what it is in reply to.
I thought Doug Cutting, creator of Hadoop, did a lot of the work on Accumulo too. And they open-sourced it for more people to use, how can that possibly be bad? This seems backwards, it seems the NSA is doing something good here in making up some nice software and releasing it to the world. I think the real question is what sort of vested interest these senators have in the businesses that would "sell similar technology" to the gov't.
Vertically integrating your own software stack isn't necessarily a bad idea. At some scale, if you have enough internal resources, supporting your own code stack becomes more effective than dealing with a large number of third party contractors that are often competing with each-other and not 100% mission focused (think profit motivation). While it makes sense to use a COTS (commercial-of-the-shelf) application for certain problems, the problem of National Security I don't think should be corporatized. I think they should be using the best tools, whether internal or externally developed.
Another downside is simple -- heterogeneous environments make life easier for the blackhats. If everything used the same architecture, it means that a low level bug that can get code executed in ring 0 (to use Intel's terms) would affect everything from the embedded device, all the way to the supercomputers. Having different architectures means that damage due to a bug similar to the F0 0F bug of yore would be limited and containable.
I think you mean homogenous environments.
Not. I don't come here to read about shit posted everywhere else.
OK, so, I know some people that were at Gowalla when Facebook acquired them. Some of them bounced to InstaGram. Well, gratz to them, their option values just went through the roof, but now they're back with golden handcuffs to stay at Facebook where they didn't want to be in the first place.
How will they bring GPU compute to servers when they killed their FP64 performance? nVidia and AMD just flip-flipped their GPU-Compute prowess in regards to FP64.
Sold out of tickets that is...
No idea what you people are saying, but it's cool as shit either way.
Oh, I don't know about the FBI loosing credibility here. It seems like they rather elegantly took care of two birds with one stone, by birds I mean LuhlSec and Stratfor. Parts of the FBI obviously had a beef with Stratfor to have manipulated LuhlSec into taking them out. Likely rightfully so according to some of the fraudulent financial activities/insider trading their internal emails reference. I'm guessing some FBI agents weren't too happy with this group but faced internal pressure to not pursue the matter further... The FBI has thusly demonstrated they have extra-legal ways to take you down even if you think have enough inside political ties to keep the FBI off your operations, they're willing to work outside the system to getcha.
I can't wait to see how this plays out, this is more interesting than any drama on TV or the theatres. My take away, neither the LuhlSec crew or Stratrfor crew were anywhere as smart as they thought they were.
That manager was named Richard Earl Blee and he is now the subject of a documentary by Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy, of secrecykills.org, who confirmed his identity using techniques right out of the 70s film All the President's Men.
They had an FBI Associate Director feed them information?
Well, if you listen to the interview @ http://secrecy-kills.s3.amazonaws.com/BleePodcast1.m4a George Tenet--former CIA director--slipped up and gave the information necessary to identify Richard Earl Blee: His last initial and the fact he was a controversial son of former CIA officers. The last initial and the other information was enough to narrow it down to one person. So drop the "Associate," an "ex-" and change the acronym, and yes, exactly.
Again: Where exactly is the source to the bcrm47xx driver? In a binary fucking BLOB.
Since when has dd-wrt been "Open Source?" It's very much closed-source. OpenWRT is actually open source, as in, you can download the code, modify, and compile it yourself. dd-wrt is closed, and often includes proprietary drivers.
the source IS AVAILABLE and has always been.
svn co svn://svn.dd-wrt.com/DD-WRT
Just because you've checked binary blobs for wireless drivers into a source control system, and made access to the source control system public does NOT mean it is "Open Source." Good luck modifying a bcrm47xx driver in dd-wrt! Hope you like to edit in hex or binary.
In summary: Not Open Source.
According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless.
