is that the outcome of nature or selective breeding?

i used to work in the adult entertainment industry... i was always amused(and shocked) at who they would pick as "experts" when doing interviews on TV. it really ruined all "experts" for me, as now i assume they are the equivalent in their field as the goons whom were "speaking" for the adult industry were.

that didnt dawn on me until you said it... quite the catch.

they are also heavily propped up by the fact the gov will cover a large portion of the costs of install and migration. if these costs wasn't covered or subsidized, i believe the picture would look very different.

i think you can dump audio files into dragon(nuance) and get the transcript back for data entry.

every engineer i ever met from EPIC was fresh out of school, one of them told me thats almost entirely what they hire.

I wasn't on the team that implemented this at a large healthcare provider, but i remember that team bitched about it a lot. its also mentioned as a compliant on EPICs wikipedia article.

on in this case, microsoft.

i know, its both sad and outrageous, good on the states putting an end to it on their own.

i did not attack them, i said "apparently" meaning it would seem that they are based on the things they allow and agree to. if you allow backwoods laws to be passed and enforced... well you know, if the shoe fits.

furthermore being called backwoods is only an attack if you choose it to be, some people don't mind being unsophisticated.

From Article: "If you can prove that you have a legitimate reason to have that money it will be given back to you. And we've done that in the past," Vincent said about any money seized.

Under no circumstance should i have to PROVE where my money came from nor how i got it. this is assumed guilt and utterly unamerican IMO. Where is the burden of proof that must be reached before taking my assets and forcing me to prove that i have the right to have them. OK = backwoods state full of backwoods laws, and apparently backwoods people that keep voting for these types of idiots.

im sure their most important hiring aspect is a certain mindset. once you get someone truly believing they are working on the side of good, they will do just about anything. zealotry is alive and well.

i was the victim of a patent trolling company called acacia research. they sent me a bunch of legal threats but had my name spelled incorrectly, which happened to give away who had sold my info to them(in exchange for dropping the case a certain entity traded all of their affiliates info to acacia). i was 19 at the time and laughed it off. nothing ever came of it, but in hindsight it certainly wasn't a laughing matter. in the end i think someone staged a pretty good defense and crushed their patent.

i also think the sales funnel in that sector is a hard nut to crack for many.

usually its treated as a holding company, it can then buy your current assets at low cost. it could also be a management company that(optionally) manages that holding companies holdings and collects fees. you then use the income to invest in other countries so the income never comes back through your home country. you can work for your company for free, so any services you do for its clients, can pay directly to it.

its not overly complicated as long as you know and understand the rules in each stop along the way and its perfectly legal.

not sure i would call belize the safest place, but any stretch. a common place yes, safest, far from it.

sounds like a business model almost as slimy as those collecting expired debt, but at least if i was selling forged documents i could sleep at night.

there are similar loopholes in other ad networks, if you want to play in those sorts of things. this is not a unique problem, its just that facebook is the largest and most obvious target. Those that made their money when it was much easier are selling off their knowledge, nowadays thats more lucrative then playing the cat and mouse game.

this is a shared service and the operators of this service have gotten pretty good at catching FB when they do this... they will just add the last 10 IPs that saw the banned ad, to their list of IPs to only show a "safe" page to. then everyone paying into the service has that rule.

or just ban those all together, no smart marketer wants others to see their stats, they should probably own their own domain or other tool that can do this type of analytics for them if they want such data.

facebook is rife with this kind of stuff, there are whole business' setup(that also advertise on facebook) to help you skirt this stuff.

i know a number of people that play in the space spending 6 figures a month doing this... they wouldnt be hard to catch, if you tried, but why would facebook want to get rid of that revenue until absolutely forced to? and imagine, i only know a handful of them.

i interviewed as a front end developer for the yahoo fantasy sports team, the tech interview focused on balancing trees... which IMHO is totally unrelated to front end web dev. you wonder why they lost?

I would argue that is was perfectly possible before rails, many projects never left PHP and are doing just fine with it. Wordpress for instance, i think Facebook also?

if it reordered, it would be based on mouse location, as soon as it moved youd be over something else, then it would update... endless loop.

until it is widely used and supported, there is a big cost to adding features to a CDN. the means dont justify the ends.

which i use in a lot of projects that need simple charting. i really don't know why google doesn't dogfood this product more, its a great, simple, easy to use charting system.

this! and i wont have to update flash every few days because of its terrible security.

that works both ways; you hire self taught because you are self taught, just like CS grads tend to prefer hiring other CS grads.

me, i have no preference when i interview a candidate... can you code? and can you solve complex problems? other then that i dont care about how you got your skills.

this has always been my largest gripe about ruby, i like to understand the magic. frustrating when i cant.

its interesting that people have used this as a commuter solution, i never thought of that. i guess bikes make more sense to me, and i live where there are lots of hills. now it makes sense to me how the pricepoint works. i have a lot of recreational toys, but couldnt bring myself to pay $1800 for an electric skateboard that didnt go all that far. cool to see the technology improving and the different uses it has shown.
