  1. Go to work first... on Go For a Masters, Or Not? · · Score: 1

    Get some experience (three to four years) under your belt before you decide to go back to school. Figure out what you want to study. Also look at what you want to accomplish after you complete your degree. You may want to do something a little different than computer engineering.
    I would look at other alternatives to an MBA, especially if you find you are very technical. You may find a senior engineer is a better fit for you than a manager. I would also recommend finding a university level program instead of a quick, online program. It will look better to a hiring manager.

  2. Re:Legos on What Data Center Designers Can Learn From Legos · · Score: 1

    It used to be written on the side of box on the big kits.

  3. Punch Cards for input into MCNP5 on Old-School Coding Techniques You May Not Miss · · Score: 1

    The input file for MCNP5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_N-Particle_Transport_Code)used for nuclear engineering uses a punch card format. Each line in the input file is refered to as a card, and the file is called the input deck. The lines are limited to the same restrictions as a regular punch card, and the program will spit out errors if you do not create the input file properly.

  4. Re:Why on Earth a Mouse Pad? on Bluetooth Versus Wireless Mice · · Score: 1

    Use a mouse pad because spouses tend to leave pretzel crumbs and and spill ice cream on the desk. This really tends to gum up the feet on an optical mouse.

  5. Re:Fun with acronyms. on Next-Gen Nuclear Power Plant Breaks Ground In China · · Score: 1

    That's due to a negative temperature coefficient of reactivity. PWRs operate on this basis.

  6. Re:I think you jumped the gun a little. on Watchmen Watched · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ditto on the Midnight show. It looked really cool in the trailers. I have never read the comic. I was a little lost, and some of it seemed pretty drawn out. Visually awesome/beautiful. Good story, but don't go into it thinking black and white/good and bad. More like a distopian society that doesn't care about right and wrong anymore. Some very dark themes in the story.

    I'm going to have to read the comic, sorry graphic novel, now.

  7. 2 skinnee j's on Illinois Declares Pluto a Planet · · Score: 1

    I thought that 2 Skinnee J's already established the point that Pluto is a planet...

  8. Re:GlasDOS agrees... on Moonlight 1.0 Brings Silverlight Content To Linux · · Score: 1

    The cake is a lie!

  9. Re:In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamic on MIT Team Creates Shock That Recharges Your Car · · Score: 1

    In addition, when approaching an 'uphill' hill, back up it so you are still facing downhill.

  10. Re:Leap Seconds? on February 13th, UNIX Time Will Reach 1234567890 · · Score: 1

    Had to look at it in a different document. Funny!

    Why did this get modded down? Oh yeah, the linux part...

  11. Re:Childish on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 2, Informative

    Which is more effective, peace talks or unconditional surrender? How many times have we been attacked by Japan since WWII? We should ask Israel how effective their peace talks have been with their neighbors.

  12. Re:Now... on DIY LED Array Marquee For Your PC · · Score: 1

    The included software allows you to create your own images and send them to each wheel individually or all wheels at the same time as you drive!

    Yeah, that makes me feel safe!

  13. Micro Black Hole on Black Holes From the LHC Could Last For Minutes · · Score: 1

    Wasn't it a micro balck hole lost by scientists that made the Earth self-aware in David Brin's novel Earth? It's been a while since I read it.

  14. Re:These things are dead on on Personality Testing For Employment · · Score: 1

    I'll have to agree with you regarding my experience. It's almost scary how accurate it was.

  15. Automated Trading Desk on Personality Testing For Employment · · Score: 1

    Before being aquired by Citigroup, ATD used them as part of a psychological evaluation. As part of the evaluation, there was also testing with an industrial psychologist. They developed a personality profile, which looked for personality traits based on the type of position you were applying for (programmer, trader, engineer, IT, etc.). This was used in conjunction with a full set of interviews with the team and management and credit check. After being hired, I got to speak with psychologist. Everything being said, it was a pretty dead-on evaluation. I did have to stop wearing my foil hat to work.

  16. Wrath of Kahn on The Best Fictional Doomsday Devices · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about the Genesis Device?

  17. More 'State of Fear' Debate on Michael Crichton Dead At 66 · · Score: 1

    I think one the things missed most about State of Fear is not politicization of science or global warming. In my opinion it, it is the most important point of the book. Those who are in power have used a "State of Fear" throughout history to control the public. Global warming just happens to be the example he uses in this book. Unfortunately he did not focus that much on this point, even though it seems to define the whole book. Just my opinion.

  18. Re:Trackmania! on PC Gaming Suggestions for Console-like Fun? · · Score: 1

    Ditto! Plays well with a gamepad. Online mode is great, too. You can download on Steam.

  19. Re:South Carolina... on High School Students Forced To Declare A Major · · Score: 1

    I should have read the article first. Dur.

  20. South Carolina... on High School Students Forced To Declare A Major · · Score: 1

    They are trying to do this here as well.

  21. Re:Hmmm, sounds strangely familiar on MIT Shows How to Shut Down Brain With Light · · Score: 1

    Thanks. I couldn't remember the name of that movie.
