The recruitment process is ridiculous. If you can get through the Google gates, you can get a close enough salary with equity if that's your sort of thing and start in a week. And you'll end up working somewhere that your voice co

Is there a tl;dw (too long didn't watch)? 12 minutes can probably be combined into a few bullet points which is far closer to my attention span.

Only on mobile devices usually. I had to opt out to look at the thinkpad wiki so you can see how well that works.

Signed but I suspect this will be treated with as much contempt as other petitions have. I think the best way of handling this is to have a private code of ethics in the IT industry in the UK. If you are involved in any collection infrastru

That was the lesson learned. Also that you should store everything in easy to access formats.

On the basis that the grander the announcement, the greater the motivation to break it, I reckon about 20 minutes.

This. I get $150 credit with my MSDN account but it never gets used because paying for AWS is a better deal than dealing with Azure. Azure feels like Microsoft wrote it. Clunky, slow and unreliable.

It does indeed. However not as much as processing a signal may do. I'll extrapolate further. I worked indirectly with satellite systems back in the late 1990s. You've got two ways of handling satellite data: 1. Uplink/downlin

It's still EM radiation. Takes the same amount of time to propagate between two points in a vacuum. Line of sight optical in space is going to be very difficult. Even relativistic effects need to be considered at very high frequencies

I don't know how they're going to get 25/35ms hops. If they're using low orbits to reduce latency, the surface coverage is going to be lower so they're going to have to mesh them in some way to span large areas. Tha

Definitely! I was burned by this and Motorola before as well here in the UK. The official repairers are just about as awful as you can get. Half the screen stopped working after a month. The official repairer cocked up the handset further a

Recommended too. For one-offs you can entirely forgo the PCB design if you so desire as well and just use the PCB stock and rats nest it. One of my creations: http://imgur.com/mcS79lU - fugly but very robust, functional, fr

All these things are just different worlds. I'm the same when it comes to medicine or tree surgery or a multitude of different things. I have no idea how a security guard even works! On this subject though, I did EE in the past and now

Bitlocker is quite specific but tailored to where everything already is. None of my children or my wife are OSX fans. I can't find a better cross platform solution if I'm honest - if there was one I'd be there. TrueCrypt was

Some interesting ideas but I've got to ask: What if the ABI breaks, the CPU architecture changes or the project gives up at some point in the future? Ergo, I prefer to leave just the data. The data is hard enough on its own: http:

Contacting Google support, unless you're an Apps customer which I wasn't, is a complete waste of time. Unless you can, to quote a colleague, piss through the eye of a needle, when it comes to the security questions and details the

Yes that 6 months window I decided is ok for me. It might not be for you. If my house burns down, my car burns down and I end up in hospital, losing 6 months of data potentially isn't a major issue. If you make it a conscious scheduled

Good points there. I tend to delete lots of things people might keep. I keep my inbox empty as well. Life is easier that way rather than deferring all the storage decisions later.

This is usually a difficult problem. Then I divided everything I have data-wise into two buckets: stuff I can't afford to lose, stuff I can. It's now simple. Also I mandate that 'everything is a file'. Turns out the form

The parent poster is correct and it's a good assertion. I'm doing the same thing, even though I'm using Windows as a base operating system, primarily for convenience at this point in time. Email is very portable if you keep i
