What about synergy? Where is the GOD-DAMNED synergy!? Oh shit, this project is totally going to fail.
It's ok, we already pushed that out to our machines: http://synergy2.sourceforge.ne... .
Synergy is taken care of!
I would be perfectly happy to be either the architect or the construction worker in a project, but (for projects larger than a sawhorse) those two people SHOULDN'T be the same person. I that sense I sometime would also like to scream "Just let me Code!" instead of dragging me into all sorts of management meetings where people just sit around going "Say, wouldn't a bridge be nice?" First decide THAT you want a bridge, then decide WHERE you want a bridge, only then come to me to be the architect and get someone else to code, or get an architect that then gets me to code
Boy, I don't know how many times I've seen horrible times come around because those with the most technical expertise were not involved in the design/decision making. Specs that make no sense, hardware and software choices that are unmaintainable in the long run, platform choices that the team doesn't have any experience with. Those sorts of meetings may not be that interesting most of the time, but it's better to be involved in the design, because saying "but I just wanted to code" won't make it any more fun to try to implement bad decisions.
It's not the known rules that will get you, it's the unknown ones.
However, their stuff ain't cheap. A Mercedes S-class will usually cost more than 5 Toyotas. It will probably last as long as 3 or 4. The Mercedes-Benz company is a pipsqueak, compared to Toyota.
Damn! So if I get a Mercedes-Benz S-class, it will run just fine for 45-60 years? Maybe I -should- go with that for my next car, then.
Mostly because as a general technical rule I don't trust my balls with private institutions unless they're highly regulated
If you go in for Lasik but they end up operating on your balls, I think there's a real problem there.
This. I want to know what the 20+, 30+ year outlook is like. I'd be fine with the laser surgery if I knew that there would be no complications from it when I'm 60 or 70.
Is it the same long-distance vision issue?
Lasik only fixes long-distance vision, but doesn't affect whether you'll need reading glasses to look at near objects. The short-distance vision issue is just something that will happen with age, independently of whether you have lasik surgery or not.
National parks aren't corporations, and national parks and operating systems on computers aren't the least bit related so you're not going to have a trademark collision.
National parks aren't corporations, though a corporation can and do run the services in a national park.
In the case of Yosemite, its services are supplied by the Delaware North corporation, who also oversee Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon.
Netflix is one of the few companies I actually use where I feel like they do care about making the customer happy, and they will keep features they don't necessarily like that the home user has come to depend on.
See: the fall-out from spinning off the streaming services, multi-user profiles on one paid account, etc.
A+++++ would order SAMs for revolution again.
That goes both ways, though, doesn't it? I don't think anybody has convincingly made any argument about what the separatists, much less Russia, has to gain from this tragic event.
Most people who point the finger at the separatists aren't saying they took down a civilian air liner intentionally. They don't have "anything to gain" from this because the results weren't their intention.
They did have something to gain from shooting down a Ukrainian military plane, though.
Wow. Just... wow.
This really isn't a good day for you, is it AC?
Perhaps you need a bit more training in propaganda techniques -- doesn't seem like the first class took very well.
Most people who complain about not being able to find a job could find one if they were willing to work for minimum wage.
Not necessarily. If you have a college education, for instance, you're "overqualified" and won't get the job because your new employer will suspect you'll be there only for the very short term.
The FFs designed our system to allow state and local govt to handle most matters because they recognized that local govt was move responsive and accountable
These days pretty much the opposite is the problem. Almost no one knows their city councilmen. They might know who the mayor is, but if they bother to vote, they'll look at all the names of people running for council, for school board, and not know a single one or who to turn to.
Meanwhile, they'll definitely know who the President is, who their US Senator is, and usually who their Governor is.
Mexico is no longer a net source of immigration (as many Mexicans return home as arrive).
So they cross the border, grab a bunch of cash, and go back.
Hell, that's worse than immigrating and staying.
