Yes, but the answer's right there: 100% of your coworkers are 'remote'. That's the boat I'm in.

You also have to be careful because the IO overhead of Cygwin can become a bottleneck, particularly if using them over mapped network drives. We'd been using cygwin/rsync to do corporate backups of several hundred GB. Time slowly grew to over a day as the backup size increased. Switched to robocopy and it completes in a few hours.

Well there is also the other problem: the very wealthy would have no problem executing trades on foreign exchanges. And unless you somehow managed to work with banks to secretly tag all the assets before they flooded out of the country once the new system had been announced, there would be no way to track them.

And, it would probably have the side benefit of getting the government to get its act together to fix social security in the US because this would potentially hit private retirement accounts and plans somewhat hard.

Hear hear - well not the 4h sleep option, but still, are there only two of us on /. who don't drink caffeine? YIKES! I can almost hear the rumbling feet of the new advertisers...

About as interesting most of the time...

I had problems on Win2000 hibernating repeatedly (though hopefully most folks aren't using 2k any more!). Seems there was a problem with NTFS/MFT/write cache so that fairly reliably after a few months of intermingled shutdowns and hibernates the filesystem would get sufficiently mucked up that it wouldn't boot. Once I stopped hibernating (after the 3rd time or so this happened and I figured it wasn't my dumb luck) I never had the problem again. Thankfully no longer dealing with 2k (though there were many aspects I still prefer to XP).

A Freudian typo, perhaps?

Of course many would argue that the incorrect date is the one on the right...

To be clear, less than 10% of the economic recovery act will be for transportation infrastructure. Much of it is going to school infrastructure and roughly half is proposed to be tax cuts.

The one bright side is that ratio of transit to rail funding would be about 1:3 or better, compared with the 1:4 at best it's enjoyed for many years.

One of the problems is that, despite all the backlog of maintenance, many are concerned that the states will take the money and use it to build new roads willy-nilly without any regard for some of the large-scale planning that many are clamoring for: things such as impacts on energy usage, greenhouse gases, land use, etc.
