There have been quite a few studies on how single-digit percent of Jews actively practice religion and/or marry a religious Jew; however those who observe at least some traditions from a cultural standpoint is well over 75%. We're all creatures of habit, but somewhere along the way we mixed religion and custom together.
And when that hardware dies... will they buy an Android tablet for $179?
People were still implementing new, paper-based workflows in 2000. By 2004-2005 that had mostly gone away, but jumping from NT4 to 2000 meant jumping 25-40% of the office to a new version, typically the smarter and higher earners who deal with change fairly well.
By 2005-2006 you're looking at Vista era and half a decade of XP dominance, nowadays all employees not working in food service and/or retail are assigned a desktop. This resulted in a huge upswing of PC sales which has now leveled off. So now in addition to server class hardware and A-level users, you're also having to migrate your B, and in most cases C, D, and E-level users at the same time. Even the guy in the mail room needs a PC to check email from his boss and HR once a day. Our copy room has a desktop to open word files.
Have you actually read an article about Google Chrome from start to finish? You clearly haven't ever used one, why did you even bother typing that post?
I'm sure for 5.5 million they could get the Mono project fully compliant. That's a team of 50 software engineers and 5 managers.
It's the WS2012 R2 kernel wrapped with desktop widgets. I'll let you google from there, but the improvements are vast. If you know what you're doing you can hack in WS2012 R2 functionality like file deduplication and NIC teaming in to your 8.1 desktop.
We ought to install shark sensors on surf boards, water and fork sensors on toasters. They cause more injuries per year than this will solve.
I'd like to see Voyager handle reentry through Earth's thick atmosphere and land gracefully on a runway. THAT would be a sight to see. Voyager 2 technically survived going through the rings of Saturn, but even that managed to take out several instruments (even though, to save someone's career that's not the official reason why they mysteriously failed immediately after)
The undercarriage of an F1 car is protected by a plank of wood, unless they've changed that rule
My 1997 BMW 5 series (the Tesla competes with the 2014 7 Series) has a thick plastic underbody shield. It was designed in ~1992 and started production in Europe around 1994. So it's not a new concept. It also still gets 33mpg @ 70mph on the highway from Dallas to Houston and isn't a diesel.
If you can get the price/durability/speed down by 95% it would be virtually indistinguishable from one of those star trek things that makes your food for you.
Until you need to install some new package to your webserver which requires IIS 9 or
MIT's entire CS program is available on youtube, go hawg wild. My roommate is a graduate of Youtube U and now is a Sysadmin for 2 seperate non-profits (plus side work) and owns a yacht out of Houston. He's also finishing up a degree out of WGU but that's just icing on the cake for him.
If you produce zero useful work, then yes that is fraud. If you go above and beyond their expectations A) will they seek to clarify your claimed records and B) are they getting less than the deal you both agreed to? If you're producing a level of work higher than the average college grad these days (not difficult to do) then there's no misdeed being done. And if they want to fire a high-performer for lying to get the job, that's the company's problem. I didn't have to lie to where I got, but I have a much nicer view than most of my better-qualified coworkers (whho have been there for 15+ years) after 2 years due to working my butt off and being valuable to the company. If you lie about your training and then sit on your ass all day then yes they will look for reasons to fire you. If you outperform your coworkers 2:1 then by all means, they should be looking for ways to keep you happy and keep you on.
As someone who still owns their childhood copy of FFIII (now known as FF6), I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.
On the eighth day, God created FORTRAN.
