Yeah, universities are getting squeezed from every direction. Its bullshit-we've gone from being a research university to being basically another corporation. We still have some old firebrands lurking in the corners (which reminds me o

Yup. Computers and the open Internet that we grew up with/believed in is being trashed for 'free' products.

The university that I work at switched over to Gmail and its been a big step back in terms of user experience. We canned a small team of dedicated professionals that delivered a rock solid experience for a 'free' option from Googl

I think you'll find that this is exactly what's happening here-its telnet talking through an SSL tunnel. Nothing crazy

i dunno..I thought the same until I watched my wife use the iPad Pro. I thought it was a toy (its just not for me) but I was downright shocked when she just walked into a meeting with her Pro and..for the lack of a better term owned it. She

Leave. Its not easy (in fact I know its incredibly hard) but come to the US. Its not perfect, but even though we have an..argumentative democracy we (mostly) get along. Come and help us be better. Throw your voice and talent in. I have a Tu

People don't like hiring people that have track records of long absences for work and mental breaks. I'd have 0 problems employing a trans/gay/gender fluid person but hiring someone with a documented history of sudden lo

As a homeowner in a similar neighborhood as the one described in the article, I wish passionately LESS people would turn their houses into apartment buildings. I hate to use the 'there goes the neighborhood' argument, but renters

The EMR EPIC is written (at least at its core) in MUMPS. They do the same thing as you describe above to get employees-hire young CS grads from 2nd tier schools straight out of college, and they use good starting pay and low cost of living

That's quite the story. I'm glad he made it-the loss of him would have been keenly felt.

I'd love something like this, but I don't see any upside for iTunes or Spotify to support it. Anything that makes it easier for a customer to switch to a competitor is something they're going to resist.

No they have a problem with people on bicycles not following the rules. A problem human drivers encounter on a daily basis.

I think they ran out room and couldn't put the last bit on - 'to hastily blow out the wick and nervously shut and bolt the door'

Thats unbelievable. Even if thats an exaggeration and the actual number is closer to what the government claims (60,000) thats a jaw dropping number for an order that went into place a week ago.

These buildings are replacing elderly buildings/adding capacity so we can serve more students. So the operation/maintenance costs should fall dramatically for the buildings that are being replaced, and new revenue from more studen

The state is cutting all education funding bit by bit. Its a problem nationwide-and the worst part is that here in Michigan its not even 'that bad' compared to other states. Public universities across the country are struggling. I

Disclaimer: I work for a large and pretty prestigious University that has been undergoing major work in the last decade to update facilities and add buildings. Almost all of the building budget has been paid for through our endowment and do

Thats correct-the funny bit is they were using a hidden developer feature-not one of the 'Developer' drop down features but an actual hidden flag. They also observed huge internal discrepancies with their testing methodology-but i

Does this allow circumvention/dumping of the SecureBoot keys? Its an impressive looking piece of kit for sure, but the English leaves me confused as to what they were able to actually accomplish.

Yup. This is what I was just arguing with my family about-they voted Trump because they want manufacturing jobs back. I pointed out that if the US imposes trade tariff's high enough to make manufacturing things like steel cost effectiv

Except no, its not a book of ads. Its a coffee table art book like many others and sold at a very similar price. All the major fashion labels have such books, as do most art collections. Also why write a story about this? If you don't
