Where did you work? Maybe it was a good was a good thing. I hope you found a job at a place that believed in investing in its people. I live in the US and my experience has been completely different, and maybe it's unusual.
Every year during budget season my boss is on my ass about the training courses I would like to take so she can secure funding. On top of that our entire department sets up a training seminar once a or twice year that our VP also attends. The Six Sigma Green Belt course was a good 3 days. The others tend to be a management and leadership based, but they have helped me learn speak managerese and schmooze.
There is also an internal online university with web based training with a ton of subjects ranging from software development to creating advertisement. Individual departments will also set up classroom training. For example, our business inelegance department does a week long training on building ETL using Informatica, and another week long training on Oracle Business Intelligence. Departments also do something called a lunch and learn where you bring your lunch and they go over something like the architecture of the billing system.
Outside of the department level training and education there is the $5,000 a year towards a degree at state accredited university. The degree has to be related to your current job. If you quit within a year of completing a course they paid for or get anything below a C, you have to pay the money back. I know a few people that have gotten their MBAs. One guy got his BS in physics.
That AT&T died in 2005 when it was bought by SBC. The new AT&T is SBC with the AT&T name, and Bell Labs was spun off in 1996 by the original AT&T to become Lucent. Lucent was then merged with Alcatel to become Alcatel-Lucent. Meanwhile the Bell Labs Holmdel Complex is sitting vacant.

Even if the infected computer did directly cause the crash of the plane, Microsoft should put something similar in their EULA. Having this kind of disclaimer will remind people that they probably shouldn't use Windows in a system that may have lives depending on it. Its about using the right tool for the right job.
I take the pantry approach, and always keep commonly used components in stock. When place orders online I do a quick glance over what I have in my little plastic boxes and restock on things that I'm be running low on. My problem isn't inventory management. Its finding a good local source for various components in Atlanta. Fry's is limited and some of the mom & pop stores are hit or miss.
Though it would be cool to put some QRcode stickers all over the place and create an inventory management app for android that updates a database sitting on the LAN or something.
ETL stands for Extract Translate Load. Basically you want to extract data out of your very normalized application database. Translate it into something that makes a little more sense for historical reporting and trending. Then load it into your data warehouse.
To me Android has the right mix of hegemony and diversity. Hardware manufactures and carriers are free to have their own custom versions of an OS without having to make it completely incompatible with all the other software out there. Come on people this is what open source is all about. Yes its a little harder on the developer but so what. If you don't like it, go buy a mac to run the iPhone SDK. Pay the registration fee for the App Store and submit to Apple.
Keep your drives as cool as possible. I think there was even a story posted on here a while ago about cool drives are less likely to fail.
I have a RAID 5 made of 4 2 TB drives. I was able to find a case that didn't stack the drives too close together. The case also has mounts for additional fans at the front. The airflow is great and it isn't loud. The house at 72F/22C, and the drives report that they are running at 82F/28C. Also, you will want some way to monitor your drives.
Someone will develop something that will take advantage of that ridiculous speed, and then someone will develop something that can take advantage of data being transfered at ludicrous speed. Then one day, in the future, computers will go to plaid.
To get buy in from the geezers, you should get in the habit of formatting your code. It makes things easier to read, and it just looks more professional. CamelCase also is helpful in improving readability, and to enforce proper code formatting you should make formatting part of the syntax.
Doesn't this look so much nicer? I almost forgot. You will need a declaration.
Flying Southwest is never cool or hip. They are the Greyhound of the sky, but it was an Oakland to Burbank flight. Southwest makes that trip almost every hour, and it was probably one way trip. He should have just taken the train if he had the time.
The name of the product is the Gecko EduBook. It is targeted for classroom use. If you are going to pass out 20 of these things to a classroom of students you are not going to have power cords running all over the place. You can buy AA batteries in bulk, and they are super cheep. It will cost around $1.79 to replace batteries in one of these things.
This reminds me of when we launched a speech IVR at work. When it was first launched the Spanish portion couldn't understand a native Spanish speaker. It would only understand someone speaking Spanish with an English accent. The reason for this behavior was the fact that it was tested and built its Spanish profile based on native English speakers. It took a week for it to learn how to understand Spanish spoken by native Spanish speakers.
Keep in mind that a speech IVR has a limited number of utterances. To do something where any speech can be transcribed cleanly into text, translated into language x, and then read back by TTS in close to real time is impressive. From Google's perspective they need a wide range of people transcribing voice mail and calls into text just to build a decent sample of how the population speaks. This is one of those things that only improve with more usage.
Part of the reason why you pay for Cisco is for support. If something fails you can get a replacement quick. If you dont mind spending a little more you can get a replacement delivered to you while TAC sits on a bridge with you. You also have the option of delivering it on a silver platter.

It also takes some balls to leave your home country.
Yes, the Javanese. You think it was a coincidence that Java was developed by Sun and that there is a sun on the Javanese flag?
Google already has one in beta. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx-cX7W03RI

You could become an AAAS member. http://www.aaas.org/membership/
That would be cool. Each copy would then evolve independently and would be able to play different strains of the game.
I think this video was done by the same production company. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HhP23M53Yc
Not to mention that Skype is proprietary. Maybe this will push people over to SIP a little quicker.

I think the "it" being referred to is proposed legislation that would give the president to shut down the Internet during a "national cyber emergency". http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-20029282-281.html?tag=mncol;txt
We can call it cracking, but the rest of the world will continue to call it hacking. Crackers come with soup or are white people.
If it makes you feel better, Massachusetts is in that part of the country we call New England.
Its all about personal taste, and I happen to like little red squiggly lines under most of my words.

I really like that part of the Java EULA.
