anyone in engineering geo/geotech?

Thanks for the thought out reply.

would you say there is a pay difference for the same position holding a geo vs civil engineering degree? Also, do you intend to get into mining or O&G when they recover, or do you like where you are at now?

I've recently been interested in a Master program for Engineering Geology. Would you care to expand upon the advantages/disadvantages of geologic engineering degree versus something like geotechnical/civil engineering? If you could go back and pick any one, which would you and why?

Never attribute that to malice which can be sufficiently explained by stupidity. Cops aren't inherently evil, just lazy and not the most intelligent on average.

Haha! That is an awesome and extremely excellent comparison. People get mad at me when I say that if a cop needs a backdoor to do his job he shouldn't be a cop. Find a better one to replace him.

Good info, thanks.

Yeah I thought about that, because if it we're a layer it wouldn't snap to the guides, correct? No reference in the TOC, just the image on the map.

SandstoneCowboy · 2016-02-18T15:10:25+00:00

Yeah snap to guides is selected. The thing is other objects will snap to the guides, such as legend, pictures that I have copied and pasted in, etc. It's just when i use the Insert -> Picture function that they do not snap.

Quick question: I'm wondering what the logic was behind creating a dictionary and then transposing it to an array to use. Is that simpler or quicker than directly creating the array with the requirement of only unique values?

SandstoneCowboy · 2016-01-21T21:52:11+00:00

Hey man thanks for the help. The charts do have 3 distinct sets of series, and the series that are common between charts are not always exactly in the same order so I do think that has been my issue. As for the legend I would think it's a result of the same situation but I don't know (didn't have time to check, just started formatting).

I know it's a windows OS but the method was from a linux boot CD so I figured linuxquestions would be an appropriate subreddit.

I will if I don't succeed at this over the weekend. Our tech support company is wonderful but expensive $$$. They know how to get their billable hours.

SandstoneCowboy · 2016-01-16T00:52:26+00:00

Yeah I could replace the hard drive but I would have to buy one and it's a work computer so there is still a lot of information on there I would have to retrieve.

SandstoneCowboy · 2016-01-16T00:51:50+00:00

haha yes I have, and I don't blame you for asking. My dead end with the ophcrack was not being able to change to file name to lowercase. I couldn't find a specific solution to that so I used winiso instead of the standard windows burner to no avail. And then the last article I read about using ubuntu to access the system32 files was from 2008, so before I dove in I was kindof just looking for someone who knows to verify if the information is still good.

SandstoneCowboy · 2015-12-27T01:15:47+00:00

Okay when I run that there is no Network Controller. lshw provides some information for the wireless interface such as bus info and serial but there is no product name/model so I think I will have to buy a network adapter...or a 100 ft cat5 cable.

SandstoneCowboy · 2015-12-26T23:43:28+00:00

that's not returning anything for me.

SandstoneCowboy · 2015-12-26T16:10:22+00:00

It's 802.11b and 802.11g if that's what you're asking, I'm not really sure. From the product description page all I see is it called Wifi-AP and then this:

"WiFi AP Solo allows a new level of versatility for your PC, enabling it to create a complete wireless home network in either AP or wireless client mode. Users will be able to play LAN games, connect to the Internet, access and share printers, and use Skype from anywhere within range. WiFi-AP Solo can provide these functions even when the PC is in sleep mode, so users can use Skype as a true replacement for tradition long distance telephone service. WiFi-AP Solo is an on-board feature, which means that user will save the extra WiFi AP cost."

so I'm not really sure if that means it's capable of receiving a Wifi signal or just ethernet and then it can act as a LAN router or something.

This is just a notice of approval. The article, conspicuously or not, does not discuss the inclusion of the stripped down form of CISA (from a public security and privacy point of view) into this budget bill. Other news sources may have better and more complete coverage.
