Switch jobs every 3-5 years. VC spread their money over lots of companies. You should do like wise. Falling in love with a company is great but in the the end your a resource to be extracted and disposed of for people with "business acumen". You need to take the same attitude and and make sure the company is in fact giving you your due. Get your equity and get out. If the company is actually showing promise in 3 to 5 year maybe stay but do not ever think the companies success hinges on you being there. It does not. The business end of the business will do everything they can to make sure that is not the case even if it is. Good luck
I remember punching up around 200 cards and then dropping them on the floor while taking them to be submitted. I do not think I would refer to that as a fond memory however:)
I feel sorry for the poor person who is simply trying to reduce her carbon foot print, live a physically smaller foot print and have economical transportation in a large city. The people tipping car a simply juvenile regardless of their age.
Given the post by anonymous cowards yesterday on the Jessy Jackson article. There are plenty of slashdot readers that can fit into this category. Are they mainly gamers?
Because I buy no contract phones that are GSM I am part of the only real competitive network in North America. ATT vs T-Mobile. ATT's 3 billion contribution to my plan now means I pay $50 (1st line) + $30(2nd line) + $10(3rd) all with data, text and talk. Previously 2 lines cost me $175 under contract. Thank you ATT.
Fortunately there is a solution. Software defined radio. If that were to deployed SDR as part of the communications network we would be able to talk to old equipment.
The problem is not the Kindle. Publishers (particularly scholarly publishers ) have not adopted epub format. PDFs do not reflow to screen size therefore they will NEVER be useful in devices of variable screen sizing. Sorry. There is no reason you should not be able to get you publications in a format that would be more convenient to read on any eReader. Check put http://elife.elifesciences.org... and down load the epub version of the article. I wish plosone.org had the good sense to provide an epub versions but they are too far behind the times.
Brilliant!! THe UK will now be able to use the nations pubs to generate energy. Given the high domestic alcohol consumption the UK will be energy independent in less than a year. It could even become a patriotic duty to drink even more:)
China seems to flip a switch on BGP and all the traffic gets routed through them. The US can't stop that. The problem is that the rest of world relies on US benevolence. Something they seem to be re-evaluating as we speak.
If I can question whether I have freewill then I have right.
I haven't read the article yet - bet that is what it says - you know it does. Somebody go find out for me!
First programing in itself is not difficult to learn. Evidenced by the massive number of self taught programmers myself included. Second given how rapid technology is accelerating programming as a useful skill could very well be obsolete is 15-20 years. Finally critical thinking, curiosity and a willingness to take risks are timeless. Teach your children well (give them values). They will be better off.
Thank Congress for selling the spectrum and not setting standards in the publics best interest. The carriers are in debt up to their eyeballs - the consumer pays - there is no real competition.
To many people not enough room. Japanese society places great pressure to conform. This is mainly due to contraints placed on individuals that need to cooperate and share limited resources. It does not seem unlikely that this would manifest itself in "societal avoidance" in certain individuals that are unable to cope with the increasing demands. But it could just as like be video game addiction - they got to be doing something in those tiny rooms:)
I guess US banks will re-evaluate the use the more secure smart carts. They have been reluctant to use them because the cost of adoption was greater than their projected losses due to theft. So much for that theory. Another failure to predict the risk.
The problem is there are too many ideas coupled with people who are incapable of implementing them. If teaching where a profitable and rewarding job there would be little problems. Class sizes need to be smaller - teachers need time to access and help kids with problems. Public schools have been saddled with the job of compensating for F'd up parents. A task which is not really education.
Check me is I'm wrong Scotty but isn't "indie" short for "independent"? Can't they do what ever the hell they think is in their best interest. And why is it when studios bleed Anamation and CGI shops dry and put them into bankruptcy - that is somehow good for the industry? Fatcat and Bigwigs trying to protect their turf if you ask me.
Solve a massively complicated problem that has eluded some of the best minds for years and involves solutions on a global scale in a meer 12 hours. Some might think that a publicity stunt to promote an airline but I think we can solve all the worlds problems this way. The problem is selecting the correct 100 or so people to dispose of this way for each problem. CEO's are just a starting point. Dictators, Bankers would be high on my list. The massively wealthy certain are causing a great deal of our problems.
It is not hate, it is ignorance. Apple Fanbots think that all Apple ideas are actually original. A more correct way to think about them is that Apples implementation of certain ideas are often original and sometimes derivative of others that are far less well know. That is what large companies do, Google included. Go to Amazon and look for Android watches or Cell phone watches. They already exist and have for years in countries outside the US. If you think Google Glass is new you are mistaken. These ideas have been in an out of research labs for 40 years. Initially they are expensive. Eventually some small piece of manufacturing technology enables them to be affordable. Then all the big companies hop in and market you into believing they actually invented it. And so it goes.

That's only 4 flukes right:)

Straight talk uses T-Mobile

Many would debate whether the vacuum robots we can afford are worth it:)

$10,000 was the price of the first Lisa Computer from Apple - um 30 years ago. The Pro seems fairly priced in comparison:)

Use text and encrypt with a one time pad.
The Everest climb is one of the country's primary ways to raise revenue. Give them their money, the country has few was to raise it otherwise.
