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.

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.

The idea is to get them to commit perjury, then it is easy to send someone to prison. The leftists know this well.

This is a massive conspiracy. The IRS is hopelessly corrupt. We need a special prosecutor and get people under oath. There needs to be a lot of jail time handed out, starting with the vile Lois Lerner.

This is obviously a cover up. Time to for a special prosecutor. Let's get some demonrats under oath, as if that mattered to them. Nixon was impeached for threatening to use the IRS as a political weapon. Obama has done it.
