I grew up way before the Internet became a reality to the wide world. Scams are scams. "On the internet" is not enough to garner a patent, it is not enough to garner a new name for an old art: Scam.
If you can fall for a scam on the Internet, you can fall for one through plain old snail mail. The Internet just makes communications quicker and exposure more likely.
Instead, the point is that there exists a systematic, cultural, and longstanding bias against encouraging and fostering scientific and mathematical proficiency in female students
Fuck you. Prove it. I am sick of this shit. When I went to school way way way back in the mists of time, girls were encouraged over boys. My own son dealt with this shit too... and yet girls are STILL not at the top of the heap.
Stop abusing boys. You can not force girls to be on top of the heap... and this is nature: There will be a heap. Deal with it asshole. All you are doing is creating misogyny.
Nothing like fifteen tons of uncontrollable truck sliding at freeway speeds toward a stupid motorist that cut-off the truck...
I am cool with this. Darwinism in action. My only concern is for the truck driver.
If you are going to be driving wastefully, doing it as efficiently as possible still makes sense.
I *WANT* one of these. Madly and desperately. Tesla heard my only objection left: All Wheel Drive. I have been maneuvering my finances to buy one since the AWD version came out. Now, I am almost willing to mortgage my soul to get one of these. (I would definitely NOT mortgage my soul, it is a figure of speech designed to show how much I want one of these.)
every year there are close to 140,000 jobs requiring a CS degree, but only 40,000 U.S. college graduates major in CS, which means that 100,000 positions go unfilled by domestic talent
Is this statistic really true? Are those 140,000 net new jobs, or just job openings that exist for some period of time during the year?
If it were true, wages would be sky high. Ipso facto, it is not true.
Let's see how the women's soccer team does against the men's soccer team. So the unspoken argument is that you should hire inferior people to fill the role.
Somehow, I do not think that is the message they want to get across.
Uninstall Flash. Just stop using it. Encourage your friends to do the same.
I uninstalled it a couple months ago. I no longer have to worry about updating it or being exposed to the vast amount of vulnerabilities - it should be clear to everyone by now that it is a
Only a few months ago? At least you removed it... I removed flash from all of my computers back in 2009. I was responsible for vulnerability analysis and noticed that every month, there was at least one vulnerability for flash and another for java. I removed both.
I bought a laptop in 2013 that had Windows 8 on it. The very first thing I did was start patching it and downloading updates. It did not matter, I got a virus less than 4 hours after starting the patching process. How? Through a flash plugin that was not installed in such a way that I could even see that it existed.
I formatted the drive with a vengeance and installed Arch Linux on it... which it is still running to this day. Flash can burn in hell as can Windows 8.
And I prefer CD quality to any form of lossy compression: and have told them apart in ABX testing, up to and including a 320K mp3 example. It was a castanet sound...
Cymbals are also a dead giveaway. Either the "airiness" is lost or they sound too sharp.
One song that ALWAYS shows weaknesses in lossy compression algorithms is "My Name is Mud" by Primus. Something about the mixture of bass and drum really messes with all of the algorithms. I have successfully performed double blind tests and can always pick out the lossless version of that song. Other songs can be much more difficult, but paying attention to the cymbals frequently reveals lossy compression.
Taxing the rich seems the only known way to free the revenue and profits to flow back into the middle- and lower-class consumer. If you have a another way to balance that part of the system of economic flow, I'm all ears.
How will taxing the rich help? The government, any government, will just spend that money on new fighter jets, spying on their population, and redirecting the money in non-taxable form back to the already-wealthy and well-connected.
Tying up all the wealth into a few people and institutions is the root of the problem. Taxing does not address that.
I think you fail to understand the concept of right of way. If you are going too fast to safely stop, you are going too fast.
I think you fail to understand that the laws of physics are non-negotiable. You can't just step in front of a multi-thousand pound vehicle moving at 25 to 30 miles per hour and expect the laws of physics to suddenly change and allow it to stop in under 10 feet. It just can not happen no matter what laws or rules are in place.
I am an American who has been alive for a while. At no time did I think "black person" when I saw Jar Jar for the first time.
What that implies is either that the effect intended was not a negative racial stereotype or that racism is effectively dead for mainstream America.
You choose. Either way, the hate-fest ends here.
still doesn't give you the right to trespass and steal.
Whose property was he trespassing on? Whose property was he stealing? You have to have a victim before you can have a crime. If it was abandoned, then there is no victim.
I actually give -2 for certification. That's right, certification will, in my book, nullify the positive impact of an engineering degree *and* one relevant job. Why? Because it is, more often than not, a means of hiding shortcomings behind the veneer of something that seems official.
This is an absurd point of view. While it surely has SOME basis in reality, you are ignoring a large number of reasons people may have those certs:
Government work requires certifications. 8570.1 talks about certifications you must have in order to log in to a government network. The more responsibility your position has, the more certs you need. Would you reject someone merely because they were forced to get certs to be hired in a previous job?
Freelancers. Certs help them to get noticed. Small business owners want some sort of assurance that you are not just person who thought they would try and freelance with no skills. Do the certs really mean what the small business owners think those certs mean? No. It does not matter. When a freelancer is selling themselves, the only thing that matters is perception. There are some absolutely fantastic freelancers out there. Would you deny them a job?
Look at why they have a cert before you reject them for having a cert. You may find some gems.
In Server 2016 they will really hit taking out the GUI hard and have 100% of every task from the command line in Powershell.
WTF over? Why does it always have to be one way or the other in every situation in life?
I am a command line evangelist but if the GUI tools have been created, why shouldn't they be kept up to date and available? Seriously, they can only focus on one? Meh.
The lack of freedom is downright annoying. I don't like being corralled.
Very very interesting.
Short story: For about 3 months in 2010, I had severe migraines every week. Cause: a bread that was made from flour, sugar, salt, and water. Supposedly no preservatives or anything at all.
I find that if I eat certain grain based foods (little graham like crackers from Haagen Daz), I immediately start to feel a migraine level headache starting.
I wonder if it is gluten? I guess I can test it out. Where can I find pure gluten? I had always assumed it was preservatives...
Kind regards,
Dave
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
