You must be new...oh wait, your UID is lower than mine, so I'll just assume you're hopelessly optimistic.
Flameén? Is that a conjugation of "flameer?" I thought the infinitive would be "inflamar".
This is from the article,
No sooner does he hire a Java programmer and train him in the company's music industry niche, than the programmer is recruited away for a higher salary. Indeed, everyone on Trebino's six-person Java development team has less than one year of experience with HFA, which is the nation's leading provider of rights management, licensing and royalty services for the music industry.
There's only so long you can compromise your principles.
This is another gem,
"They are looking for much more aggressive career development opportunities and the ability to learn new things quicker," says Lily Mok, vice president at Gartner for CIO Research. "Traditionally, it took two or three years for a person to move up into the next level in an organization. They want to be on a faster track than that. They don't want to stay in one spot for more than 12 or 18 months."
Even when CIOs promote 20- and 30-somethings, they often don't have loyalty to the organization, Mok says.
"Don't expect them to stay with you 15 or 20 or 30 years...That's not going to happen," Mok says. "They will stay with you as long as they see certain things, including personal growth or personal value enhancement, whether that's financial reward or career aspirations. But only think about being able to retain them for two or three years. If nothing happens, they will leave after their first year of employment."
Of course Gartner has always had a gift for stating the obvious.
The draconian measures that have been written into law concerning "computer crimes" versus any other type of crime, seem to me to be a knee jerk reaction to a problem that is/was beyond the means of the legislators ability to deal with it. As a result, they passed a special law concerning computer crime, that could have been framed within the context of any other number of already existing laws.
Sounds like they did the same thing with "hate crimes". A criminal act is a criminal act, regardless of motivation or means.

We have thousands of spare batteries for them too. Save your pity for yourself, wretch.
Rome didn't have nuclear weapons; we have thousands.
I certainly hope not. It's the first time that I've had to give them my wallet at any airport.
Basically, that's it. The TSA guy never provided any reference to any law or regulation; he just repeated himself until I agreed. At least the other TSA guy watched the first one.
It's even worse than the "papers, please" that we all know and fear. The TSA goons don't even know what they are looking at. I told one at Dulles Airport that my Common Access Card was in my wallet so I wasn't going to just hand my wallet over to him. He just gave me a blank stare for a second and then said, "What do you mean you won't give me your wallet?"
I pulled out my CAC and explained what it was to him and why I just couldn't hand it over. In order to get through the checkpoint, I gave him my wallet and CAC after demanding that another TSA agent observe him while he had it. Yes, it's wasn't a win over the TSA, but at least two of those bureaucrats know what a Common Access Card is now.
Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
This is a domestic Chinese problem, and it will be solved when the people of China decide to deal with their government one way or another.
I wonder when the Chinese people will remember this quote? "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." - Mao Tse-Tung
I once banked with a local bank; it got bought by a big bank.
I then switched to another local bank, and it got by a big bank too.
Again, I then switched to another local bank, and it merged with another bank, and two years later was bought by a big bank.
I switched to a Credit Union.
I know everyone hates marketing and sales but they do in fact serve a purpose...
I agree. I ran a small business for a while and I noticed that people forget who you are and what you are selling in a few days at best. Sales and marketing are critical, but I think most people disparage them because of the stereotypes, which have a basis in reality, but are overblown.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
