And some people are more competent at taking the SAT test than others are. Just because you have higher SAT scores doesn't make you more intelligent to me.
The IT business loves its fads. Remember client/server? Remember when green screens were passe and everything had to be rewritten as a GUI? Remember when Novell Networking was all the rage? Remember when IBM's Systems Application Architecture (SAA) was hot stuff? Remember when COBOL then Java was going to be platform-independent and displace all other languages? Remember when everything was going to be outsourced to India, then Brazil? Remember when Unix then.NET was going to rule the world? Remember CompuServe, AOL and Prodigy, each ignoring the coming Internet?
IT loves its fads, but then it gets tired and moves on to the newest shiny thing. Cloud computing is no different; this fad shall pass. But part of the fad will still be with us; after all, both Unix and.net are still here.
I use an HP Color LaserJet 2820 All-in-One Color Laser for faxing from my Mac. Works like a charm and works with wireless as well. By getting the fax modem, I saved $100 on the purchase price.
What about software? You're not going to buy a word processor, spreadsheet, photo software, music editing software, DVD burner and movie maker for your computer? All included with every new Mac.
Yes, it makes quite a difference. Put my three-year old MacBook Pro next to a Dell and you will see the difference. The Dell will be missing at least one piece. You would be hard-pressed to tell that my MacBook Pro is not brand new. And it runs as fast as a new Dell.
This is another situation where we could have been preparing for this for a year now but it appears that the do-nothing part of government has done nothing to prepare for it. The government suggests that you recycle the recyclable debris and put the rest in the trash! So let the disaster occur and then we will spend billions of dollars repairing the unknown environmental damage. Education, prepare for further budget cuts; you're just not important anymore.
Ironically, LinkedIn could have put you in contact with someone who could have bypassed HR all together. That's what networking is all about. It's a tool and if you insist on using a hammer instead of a screwdriver, good luck to you.
According to The Straight Dope, 84 men flew across the Atlantic before Lindbergh. What Lindbergh accomplished was to fly non-stop from New York to Paris. The fact that he flew solo was not a factor in winning the Orteig Prize.
You don't get it. If you are a terrorist, you forfeit your Constitutional rights. Just don't be a terrorist (or download a motion picture as it's being released in theaters) and you'll be good.
First, they came for the terrorists, but I wasn't a terrorist, so I didn't say anything. Next, they came for the pirates, but I wasn't a pirate, so I didn't say anything...
Wow, what stereotypes. I moved closer to the big city so my son didn't have to interact with all the suburban and rural kids on drugs (yes, that's another stereotype). But I like your main point: She should find a school district or private school where she has good kids and the administration supports her.
Consider becoming an actuary for an insurance company, especially one that sells commercial insurance. While homeowners and car policies are somewhat standardized, companies tend to have unique aspects that make pricing insurance difficult. Hence, the need for actuaries to calculate the risk of policies. It's rather demanding in the math area but pays well as only a few people can cut it.
Just to be clear for those that are easily confused, Technicolor is a brand name owned by a company that has little connection with the company founded in 1914.
Nope, I can't delete it, only flag it as inappropriate. Let's hope this is far enough down that nobody reads it. Oh, my precious karma, I don't want to lose it.
If a company hires another company to clean its offices, it's called outsourcing, whether the people doing the cleaning are in Texas or China. You must mean offshoring.

Probably not unless you use Parallels or VMWare.

Most of my corporate networks are wireless now. Just open the lid and get to work.
"Typical users" can always buy a Dell, Sony or Toshiba with even a VGA port!
So, instead of wasting tax dollars for prevention, we're going to waste MORE tax dollars to clean up the mess!

Floating docks the size of boxcars are a more recent development.
Furthermore, the security of his password is only as good as the security in India. I'm not saying that India is not secure...

And they could have been rescued if the rescuers had a clue.

Electric Engineers: Developing new ways to rip us off! The fraud possibilities make me drool.

I think most "films" are shot digitally these days.

You're right. I misinterpreted. Thanks for the correction. Now let's see if I can get my original post deleted...

Yes. Samsung making parts is outsourcing.
