Recruiters are fundamentally idle. They try and send your resume to as many companies as they can without actually pissing the companies off by sending irrelevant ones, and they're not interested in spending a lot of time on any given resume or opening to work the matches out. The easiest way, for them, to do this is to try and pigeonhole you, and similarly to try and pigeonhole the job you're applying for.
They serve roughly the same function as a usenet group - one to many broadcasting, with some attempts to maintain the signal-to-noise ratio - and often have the same level of value. However, unlike a usenet group, they would like 20% of your first year's salary as a fee, please.
If you want a job in an area you don't work in, then firstly, do it yourself, not via a recruiter - looking up job ads at companies you'd like to work for, scanning job boards where companies advertise, etc. - and secondly, be speculative - apply for jobs you'd like but don't look like a perfect match for - and develop a tolerance for rejection. (And remember that a direct application doesn't come with that 20% fee. It makes you quite a bit more attractive for small companies...)
You need to find yourself a better recruiter. Seriously.
Actually we usually say we're in the automotive industry.
Compiling is not FLOP heavy.
Also, emacs compiled relatively rapidly (under an hour) 20 years ago; I'm sure it's not that bad on anything modern given they tend to have 50x the MIPS of back then.
Ah, the USA: the only country where people will fight to the death to defend their constitutional right to be shot more frequently by criminals.
> The pharma industry wasn't inept. It found a solution that was three times more expensive.
No, it found a solution it could sell for 3 times more.
The story is more 'Americans pull buttcheeks apart for big pharma to screw them with huge charges for simple products. Again.'
It has nothing to do with CFCs. The question is 'why does an asthma inhaler cost $60?'
I would agree on the Osborne effect, but since Nokia practically can't give away any of their current lineup I'm not sure they could parasitise their market
All advertising is good advertising. The tweets didn't make Slashdot, but this did. Legitimately firing someone is a completely cost-free way to get the Nokia phone into the public consciousness.
If it's PKI it'll be just MS who have the key. The hardware manufacturers will install the the public key into the EFI, but won't have the private one.
This really doesn't require Microsoft to force it, it will happen anyway.
I have an HP machine of a certain age with a chip with perfectly good VM extensions that are locked out by the BIOS. They can't be enabled. Sony also did this on 'consumer' machines.
There's no good reason to lock it out. It saves them implementing one option in the BIOS setup and that's it. Frankly, there's no obvious reason why you would disable it at all, but hey.
So, Microsoft aside - and their decision, aside from possible and so-far unfounded concerns, is a technically sensible one - we will still see machines that are incapable of booting 3rd party OSes, and the support lines will simply say they're unsupported.
(Better still, this will encourage people to crack MS's install key. Criminals will want to anyway, but it's much more likely to happen i the wider hacking community puts its might behind it.)
50-60Mbps is a lowball estimate.
I have a 150Mbps wireless-N setup here (cheap and somewhat dated gigabit Sitecom router acting as a bridge and with WPA2; slightly outdated Macbook), and I get 10MB/s over AFP in a quick, repeatable test (with a wired server). That's at least 80Mbps of useful bandwidth, excluding all protocol overhead, running a network that's nominally half the speed the OP proposes. Adding in TCP/IP and AFP overhead I might possibly be seeing 100Mbps AP->client throughput on the wireless (though I'm guessing it's actually a bit less).
If you actually had a working 300Mbps setup I would, naturally, expect higher numbers. However, I don't think I possess a 300Mbps capable laptop and if your hardware is more than a year old you may find the same.
Given the repeated blocks terminated in 'e' it could be a one-time pad with the blocks as symbols.
That said, I wonder about substituting 'e' for a space.
But this isn't a pseudonym, it's my real name. And I'm fairly sure your Dad wasn't called Mr Kristopeit402.
