Umm, no. CATV stands for Community Antenna TeleVision; it evolved because people in areas without OTA reception (i.e., valleys) put up a shared antenna to receive OTA signals.

If you perform enough miracles enough times when THEIR decisions have caused (predictable) problems they will start to believe that THEY are the ones performing miracles.

At which point the problems will pile on.

Be ready to leave before that point. If there are certifications, collect them and keep them current.

Try to interview at least once every quarter. Even if you do not intend to leave your job.

it's called poaching when you do it from a competitor in business.

why an university is a business then, so that it's considered poaching? I think the case tells more about CMU than about uber.

companies do this all the time. that's what an university is for anyways.

Spoken like someone who doesn't understand the difference between a workstation and a server.

or at least it sometimes jumps you into an android apk installation page.

also the ads on the mobile make the mobile slashdot site pretty much unusable. they're so bad. they not only take the whole screens worth every few articles but also run some javascript that makes the browser crawl and jerk. in addition some of the ads are friggin videos.

for the amount of work done in greece at the moment it is a paradise.

not for long of course. or maybe. who knows, they've been dodging the bill for quite some time. if they weren't in eu they would have forefeited the debts already through some revolution or another.

they don't need it to. as long as they can say they did the worlds first of X, they'll do it, even if they don't roll it out even.

you see, that's enough for getting a triple phd in china. even if you just rolled some off the shelf open source software and hacked it into it.

btw all atm's in asia are buggy. there's something buggy about the ui in every single one, like ok button not being ok on the keypad, the languge selection only affecting some screens or some shit like that. that is when they're not crashed into the windows os running them.

well.. globally civil liberties have never been stronger.

in USA they were maybe stronger just for a little while in the '90s, provided that you weren't black - and don't talk about civil liberties in '60s and talk even less about them in early 1900's. like, could you imagine blackwater operating domestically? that's what you fuckers had essentially.

I remember seeing pretty much this same story last week on slashdot!?

is it an update to the story or is it a dupe?

quite a few sections of contract law, of loan regulations, finance regulations, fcc, safety etc are to protect stupid people from stupid things.

but now you're providing the dictators hitman services while they pose as anti american at the same time.

good job!

It works perfectly fine for everything except DirectX gaming. I don't think you need to worry about Call of Duty in your office environment. There's a difference between a VM and emulation, just so you know.

The lion's share of MDs could be replaced by machines. We tend to worship the ground they walk on in the United States but at the end of the day medicine is just a trade, no different than plumbers or electricians, and nurses do the bulk of the work in your typical medical practice. The percentage of truly innovative Doctors is no different than the percentage of truly innovative coders, for most it's just rote memorization and long established best practices.

There are countries that recognize this fact, where MDs are paid less than teachers and society doesn't treat them as Gods walking amongst men. Of course, in fairness to American MDs, Doctors in those nations don't have to deal with crushing malpractice premiums and student loan debt.......

Better question: Why is it still an A/B choice in the day and age of virtual computing? It's not like you even have to deal with the hassle of dual booting anymore. I run Slackware as my native OS, use it for >50% of my daily tasks, and still have the option of firing up Windows in a VM when the need arises.

Yeah, I wasn't really disputing that point dude. :)

Just saying that the days of SMS being delivered via the paging channel on the voice network are fading into the past. It's all data now. The only thing the old method had going for it was that it was easier on the battery. The newer data networks purchase responsiveness at the expense of battery life by going into sleep mode less frequently.
