Neither "incent" nor "incentivize" are words. Using them makes you look illiterate.

I'll say we're tuning it out. With AdBlock we don't even receive it.

I'm 50. I've been working in software development (mostly C++) for 25 years and my salary and bonus are at maximum levels. There are programmers under 30 that have talent but most trowel out shit code. Most know little of or care about design, correctness, etc. There may be age discrimination in some areas. I work in medical devices in MN where it must be less common.

I have little sympathy for an industry that could have spent the last 40 years reducing their emissions.

Paying for extra emission reduction would put you at a competitive disadvantage against power plants who just did the bare minimum. Or, in a highly regulated environment, it might run you afoul of price controls.

Who wins? Obama's jerkoff cronies participating in the Green Energy con, that's who. I, of course am also benefiting because I am invested in oil and gas, although that gives me no pleasure in the face of such state sponsored economic terror.

I was asking about this on the OVH forums just the other day, in fact:

Our IPMI are actually configured on a private network separated from Dedicated Servers network using a private VLAN for all the IPMI traffic fully secured via our network equipement.

There is two way you can access the IPMI connection:

1- Over a Java applet which generate and send you a .jnlp file valid for this session only. (This method let you use keyboard and mouse)

2- Over a webrowser via Serial over LAN that use a temporarly generated user valid for this session only.

The F9R is not a full size F9 stage 1. The test *still* only flies up and down. When will it fly a 100 miles down range? It didn't perform a hypersonic pitch-over at 200,000'. This test is nothing more than technoporn for you to masturbate over. It looks like SpaceX knows their audience.

A 2-1 vote, by unelected bureaucrats no less, decide to strip Daniel Snyder of his rightful property because a chronically underachieving people claim to be offended. Why bother with a vote? Why not just issue an edict from the Whitehouse? Shred the rest of the Constitution while your at it. Obama is gutting this country.
