It doesn't matter where the processing occurred - in your home, in a factory, or wherever, so long as the food doesn't contain excessive quantities of crap.
Processed foods purchased from a store tend to have high amounts of sugar, salt, fat, preservatives, additives and other ingredients to make them more appealing and/or have longer shelf life.
In other words, store-bought processed foods are high in crap. I think you too are in violent agreement.
Then why don't they sell Linux machines with Linux crapware, either native or in Wine? They could make a few extra bucks that way by not having to pay the Microsoft tax.
Okay... but then again, why waste so many years in college in the first place, for that matter?
Because in the current job market, employers demand it as a filter to screen out hundreds of resumes submitted for one position.
Now what we as Engineers can do, is improve on the design
In other words, the idea guy who can code makes the prototype, and the engineers refactor it into something durable.
get rid of those calls to Microsoft Access, and switch it to a more sturdy relational database.
Is Access really the problem? One of my previous employers ran Stone Edge Enterprise, which is an order fulfillment system with an Access+VBA front-end to a Microsoft SQL Server database. Fortunately, our database was small enough that it could fit into the 4 GB limit of SQL Server Express.
What changes are needed to prevent sudden power outages.
A UPS. There's already one in your laptop. And for power outages exceeding an hour, SELECT can still be served from a cache in main memory, and INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE can be made durable by keeping the table files on an SSD.
It reminds me of when people talk about "originality" in art, and dismiss everything as "unoriginal" because it was inspired by something or other. Set a standard so high it can't be reached.
If by "people" you mean "lawyers", I'll agree. Especially with respect to things like Gaye v. Thicke ("Blurred Lines" copied "Got to Give It Up"; Marvin Gaye's son won in court) and Petty v. Smith ("Stay With Me" copied "I Won't Back Down"; settled out of court with Tom Petty and his co-writer sharing one-fourth of the song's royalties).
There are times to play it safe, and there are times to take a chance and risk it.
And for someone fresh out of university with no driver's license, which time is this?
Remember when netbooks were going to revolutionize the portable computer? [...] Pepperidge Farms remembers.
I'm typing this comment on a 10" Dell laptop. So do I get a box of Goldfish crackers?
A refund for what? It's not like he's paid for the copy of Windows that comes with it.
Then who did pay for it? I was under the impression that PC makers paid about $60 per copy for a lawful Windows install. Or are you claiming that publishers of Windows-only trialware completely subsidize the Windows license?
The State of Indiana requires 50 hours, or $2,500 if they're all done with an instructor.
Why are people so quick to assume that they can't ask for something, and negotiate their compensation?
Because when I have asked for things, the result has ended up being "we went with another candidate for this position", and "how can I make myself a better fit for your company in the future?" has gone unanswered.
Honestly, the best way to get a "work from home" job is to quit looking at jobs that want a presence.
Which brings us back to the original question: How can someone who recently graduated from university find a job that doesn't require a presence?
How is that feasible when it reportedly costs $6,000 for a driver's license? Some jurisdictions reportedly require 120 hours of logged supervised driving on a learner's permit before they will issue a license (source), and not everybody has parents who both drive and are willing to sit in the car that long. At $50 per hour for a professional instructor, it starts to add up.
I'm at Slashdot waiting for Voat to get some capacity in place. Right now it's behind a CloudFlare DDOS mitigation tool that blocks NoScript users.
Far better than Rampart
Would Rampart have been better if it were about building a castle and then blowing it up with cannons?
