I see a lot of bitter complaints out there. We appreciate our IT staff at my company. Want to work for us?
I am looking to hire a Perl/Python/PHP developer in the Baltimore area, and have been for the last two months or so. Salary is competitive at or around 70k - 80k a year based on your experience. Relocation is ok, but you must be a rock star programmer to qualify for it. H1B is ok also, though again, you must be a rock star programmer to qualify for it.
If this sounds awesome to you, feel free to apply at the link below. I'll call you up and tell you about our company some more.
I think you are on to something--purchased for patents. Plenty of people would want them for that, and they are so cheap these days. There was also a thought about facebook buying a phone company. I dunno that RIM is the model hipster that facebook would want, but they have atleast some talent.
Training 100 teachers probably means a 2 hour lecture on plugging the thing in. Google is just after cheap publicity & karma.
Or if you RTFA:
Schmidt said the funding would be handed to the charity Teach First, to put 100 recent graduates through a six-week training course and give them equipment - including the Raspberry Pi - before sending them into schools to teach.
It would cost me an addition $30 a month to get HBO added to my cable/internet conbo, via the various packages. That works out to roughly 8 bucks a show, considering 4 shows a month. How much would I be willing to pay for HBOgo? Netflix is ~8. Would I pay $15? Or is the real value of HBO $30/mo?
What would you pay for HBOgo if you could buy it directly?
On the flip side, check out amazon studios. I'm not sure if I've seen anything come out of this, but I am hopeful that it is a successful venture.
In terms of buying a subscription, I wouldn't be opposed to buying a subscription to HBO (or Comedy Central, or Cartoon Network). I buy a subscription (membership) to my local art museum, without knowing what particular exhibits they intend on putting out this year. But I know I like their programming, and will attend there events. If that subscription comes with the content from every show that studio has produced (like HBOgo), even better.
I thought the demo looked pretty neat. That said, I didn't feel like paying AAA pricing for the game. If it was 40 I would have been all over it while I waited for D3.
Because clearly telephones work by rubbing to sticks together to generate smoke, which is then run into tubing and out the other end where it is interpreted by tiny monkeys that impersonate your caller's voice in side of your telephone. You don't need technology for that, just a lot of tiny monkeys.
WMC has been continuously broken for me. In theory it will let me play video/music from my computer to my xbox. In practice it crashes and I don't watch the movie/listen to the music and contemplate building a living room PC.
So while I have been waiting for an update to fix it, I don't anticipate purchasing it as a standalone piece of software...
And I'm still having trouble hiring a CS professional in Baltimore. I was at a local admin users group recently, and there were 3 people hiring (including myself). 2 for development, and 1 security specialist.
Let me preface this by saying I work at a company (http://www.edgewebhosting.net) that directly competes with rackspace.
Check your Service Level Agreement (SLA). They are usually not too hard to read, as they are often used as a selling point to people (that said, get a lawyer if you want to get hot and heavy with them). Usually the SLA will say something like this (which is from our SLA):
Our Guarantee: If your ability to send and receive traffic is impacted for more than 30 minutes, we will credit your account 1/30th of the monthly fees for each 30 minutes of downtime - up to one full month fees in a given billing period for the affected server(s) or service.
A month and a half of hosting under those terms is pretty comparable. That said, I would recommend switching hosts. Someone gamed their support to get access to your account. Their support mindlessly (or fanatically if you prefer) went and turned off your domain with out verifying what was going on.
Because getting a PHD is easy right? Because having $15k (a prerequisite to counting your points) is easy. After you have racked up a PHD educations worth of debt.
I consider myself a valuable citizen, with plenty of education and tons of job experience in one of their 'valuable jobs' and I would not get 100 points on that scale.
If you read the descriptions of side effects for the drug it rapidly becomes apparent that the way Larium prevents malaria is by giving you all the symptoms of malaria.
I took Larium and had no bad side effects. Granted I wasn't in a warzone, but on vacation. I'm sure that has some added psychological protection to it.
As an FYI, I would turn down any managerial position that pays 50k in general. If you are a manger you should be making at least 100k, or you are not actually the manager.

Personally I find Git akin to repeatedly cutting myself. Some people are into that, but most people are not.
Sadly, no mod points today.

They could let HP make it, and call it a FacePalm(tm).

Hey its a kinnect. You can use motion too. Thrust your hips rapidly to fast forward?
Now if only it could transform your PC into a giant robot interested only in the consumption of all energy in the universe.
Telcos?
And I thought this was a technology website :(

Everyone except the telcos.
Are you calling us a backwards nation?!?!?!
(You are right though. I can't believe those guys think its the dollar getting stronger. They must be Republicans.)
Don't forget that porn sites use CDNs and clouds--some of them may use the amazon cloud as well...

Does this mean in the future, I will have to pay both Netflix, Microsoft, and Comcast to stream Netflix on my xbox?
Oh dumb pipe, where forth art thou?

For a long time I have wanted my phone camera mounted onto my glasses. Beyond that I am not sure I am interested in the rest of the stuff.

Some people are great at sucking, and some people suck at being great. Sex has absolutely nothing to do with this.
