That should be Micron, not Micro, sorry

I worked for Micro in the early 90's. I loaded up a 386 with 256MB of RAM. We made expansion slots that fit into the ISA slots. I filled every ISA slot with a fully loaded expansion card.

When the PC booted, I had the AutoExec.BAT create a Huge RAM drive, then copy the contents of the Windows directory to the RAM drive and launch Windows from the RAM drive. When we shutdown, we ran a batch file that copied the RAM drive back to the Hard drive.

It was the fastest Windows 3.1 system in the company.

First time I ran a computer with a Flash Drive on it, it felt like that old system.

Honestly, because it is convenient, I have custody of my son, but I am limited by court order, how far away I can live from my ex-wife, so she can still visit him. 3 more years to high school graduation, and then I am free of that restriction. I live in a pretty rural area, not many good IT jobs in this area.

Plus it is an ESOP company, when I do leave, I will take about $75,000 in cash with me for my ownership share.

My boss eliminated sick days in 2009. The process of getting sick days was completely asinine before then even. If you worked your full scheduled shifts for a month, you earned 4 hours of sick time. If you left early one day, or had a Dr Appt, anything that caused you not get all of your hours in the month in, you didn't "earn" any sick time that month

Tying sick time to attendance was always a jerk move. He started at this company for minimum wage out of high school and 25 years later is President. He tries to make everyone act like he envisions himself moving up through the ranks...

Similar to my idea,

Wildland Firefighting has a lot of need to get equipment into remote areas, with poor or non-existent roads. Be pretty nice to be able to drop all the vehicles and equipment necessary for a Type 1 Incident Command Team in one flight into a remote area, instead of multiple truck loads.

One advantage this would have is modern weather forecasting. The Graf Zeppelin did not have enough warning of bad weather ahead, and therefore couldn't reroute in time to avoid it.

I work in a manufacturing environment, we manufacture CNC machined parts.

Because of "National Security" regulations, we are not allowed to have Cell Phones in the Building. Photography and Video Cameras are not allowed without management authorization. Kind of a pain in the butt. If we want to video tape a process, to analyze it for improvement, we have to make sure that certain parts and documents are not on screen.

We also are not allowed to hire non-US Citizens. No Green Cards or H-1B visas allowed, so I guess my job is safe.

I was at a training session last week by a wireless network vendor. One of the people in the class was a programmer from MetaGeek, who happens to work on Wireless Packet Capture Analysis software.

He did a 5 minute capture of the activity in the conference and then showed the results. Consistently, the iOS devices in the room were reserving significantly larger amounts of time on the Access Point, and then using a fraction of the time. This would reduce the amount of bandwidth available for other devices. iOS wasn't the only device doing that, but it was more extreme in the behavior.

If you had an access point, that under heavy loads that could ignore that type of behavior, not allowing devices to reserve time, it would improve throughput for everyone.

Heck, who needs a warrant or a court order to gain access to security tapes. The reality is, in the case of the bank robbery, most businesses in the area will freely grant access to their Security Tapes if the Police ask nicely.

First time I was called to Jury Duty was when I was 22. A Deputy showed up at my Parent's home with a Warrant for my arrest on failure to appear for jury duty.

My parents told him that he would be unlikely to find me since I was in the Navy on a ship somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean. About a week later, we got our first shipment of mail in about 30 day. Inside was my Summons. I dutifully filled out that I was unavailable and sent it back. About 2 months later, I heard from my parents about the warrant.

I guess the Judge dismissed it, because I haven't ever heard anything about it since, and have passed a couple Security Clearance background checks.
 

In Idaho it isn't. We get time off for Jury Duty, but it is without pay.

We had 2 critical members of our company who got picked up for a murder trial 3 years ago. Trial took 3 months. They would both come in around 6 am to work a couple hours before court, then more hours in evening just to keep their heads above water.

Developer doesn't have any stores in California. The California resident has to seek them out.

The law could require Apple or Google to delist any app that doesn't accommodate their laws, but a developer in Kazakhstan or Nevada has no presence in California.

So attach a statement to your app description in the Apple Store "Not Legal for Sale in California".
