There are always going to be exceptions to any rule. But if you are a betting person, you would increase your odds of becoming a tech executive if you have a college education and a senior executive if you have a management degree.
I respectfully disagree. What do Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniac, Michael Dell, and Mark Zuckerberg have in common? They were smart enough to realize that you have to strike while the iron is hot. All staying in school would have done for these guys is ensure that they missed the boat on their respective opportunities and found themselves in arguably more menial jobs as a result.
This article sounds like it was sponsored by a bunch of universities or something.
Assuming the electric company isn't staffed full of r-tards (which is entirely possible), I'd imagine they have a process in place for when meters cannot be read remotely, which I would imagine includes having a technician sent out to read it physically and to troubleshoot the cause of why the remote reading failed....a service that I'm sure they wouldn't be shy to bill you for, especially if you're found to be the cause of such failure.
I've purchased a decent amount of hardware from Netgate, including the ALIX.2D2 embedded system (manufactured by PC Engines..one of the links I provided above), which I'm currently using as my home router. I would highly recommend them. My previous router was running on a Soekris Net4521 box, which while good, wasn't quite fast enough for my 20+ Mbit Internet connection. For anything over 10 MBit, you really need something faster than a 486-class CPU.
They're called embeddedsystems. Maybe you've heard of them? Not free, but when you load a Linux distribution tailed for embedded systems (like this one) they're MUCH more stable than anything you can buy at any big-box store (even if you're flashing the firmware with something less retarded).
I say this as a die-hard Linux user. Part of being a Linux user is being smart...smart enough to know what will void a warranty and how to get around that.
Is it really asking too much for a vendor to only support the official OS that came with your system? Christ, just re-image the system from the restore partition and then send it back.
I used to work for a gaming company that hired mathematicians to figure out the math behind the payout percentages of their slot machines (they have to pay out a certain percentage by law). They seemed to enjoy their jobs and were paid quite nicely, as there's a metric shit ton of money in the gaming industry. If any mathematicians are interested, this is the company I used to work for: http://www.multimediagames.com/
If we're talking about C#, there are quite a few new APIs under Windows 7 that are C# only. Is that vendor lock in?
I'm confused. I was under the impression that one of the big advantages to using.NET languages was that once something is written and compiled into CLR bytecode (regardless of what the source language was), that could then be used by any of the other.NET languages. Is this not the case?
As an aside, when America was a young nation many of her leaders advocated public education as a way to narrow the gap between the elite and the general population. That does not seem to be working out real well, though.
This happened to a good friend of my father's back in the '90s. He was a loyal employee of 27 years and they canned him right before retirement. Seems to be (or was) business as usual up there.
I know the solution will be more powerful than raspberry pi, but the nearly all the excitement around raspberry pi revolves around price point.
As far as I'm concerned, the Raspberry Pi is vaporware. As much as I hate to say it, Intel is going to dominate this market due to the massive production capabilities they have.
The next thing you know, the government will be totally involved in your private lives, such as making decisions about who you can marry and restricting your ability to make decisions about your own body.
Nuclear power is great, just it demands that people running it not be money-grubbing profit-seekers. Maybe they should be run like non-profits and forced to spend the excess money they have on improvements and new technology.
My company does work for various non-profits. Unless salary caps are also required, you'll just see an inflation of salaries for the people at the top with not a whole lot of money left over for improvements.

I'm convinced that the state of Arizona just hates anyone that either isn't white, or from the US.
and 3.) using version control software
holy FUCK what a backwards country.

I use this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823109189 The keyboard and keypad are seen as separate bluetooth devices and can work independently of each other. I'd recommend it.
He also sees any change of heart on openness as a challenge when Apple continues to rake in huge cash with its current model.
This....this is why it won't be happening for the foreseeable future.
Nope...carriers will just raise the price of data to make lost revenue back (see: the end of unlimited data plans)

You can lead a horse to water...
Your slothy lifestyle is making you fat. But props for trying to redirect the blame though.
NASA: Maybe we should finally tell them the big secret -- that all the chimps we sent into space came back super-intelligent.

No, you don't get it. This is mainly aimed at being an HTPC. What you're looking for are these and these.
In the US, it's vaporware....show me a place where I can get one locally.

I don't think you're connecting the right dots.
Now if only Oracle, EMC, Dell, and the other big players would follow suit, my job would be a lot more enjoyable.
