Don't listen to the nay-sayers man. Study, develop a love for the art, and work for yourself. Build things that help people and you will be rewarded yourself. If you aim to work for someone as a programmer you may find yourself disappointed after you reach your goal. Most of the programmer jobs are for raw enterprise-y stuff that is not very interesting after you learn it.
Yes, this is a colluded comfy industry. They all agree with a wink and nod to "price to competition." So, a carry makes an announcement about raising prices (cough, Verizon) and the others follow suit (AT&T) because they know they are safe from competition. It's not called collusion though, because they didn't meet and conspire, they just priced to competition. They talk to each other through the newspaper.
Quit "bruising" Verizon you evil profit reducing fuck! I mean, they are only turning in a profit margin of 40% and you're trying to run them out of business. Damn users, I knew they would be the death of these poor companies.
In the 90's I was hitting the BBSs hard. I racked up a $400 phone bill one month calling Cincinnati and California--I lived in the countryside east of Cincinnati. I'll never forget my mom bursting through my bedroom door with the phone bill in her hand. We lost the phone for a while, and I, the fix for my new addiction. Good times.
Yeah, and if every domicile and enclosure in their life doesn't smell like Corinthian leather they get all confused and start flailing around to find their bearings--ignoring the poor clueless fools who are trying to figure out what is wrong and help them.
Just back from dice.com. Can't believe the enormous laundry list of requirements and experience with no mention of moving the "right candidate" into the position for almost every job listing. It's almost like satirical comedy.
Because that's what we need, faster trades! Anyone notice that Knight Capital lost 440 million dollars in a few minutes and may not survive the week because of a software glitch and fast trading.
I remember my Model III fondly as well, I was so jazzed to get a Model 4. My family used them for our tax and bookkeeping business with great success. The Tandy 1000 was my first "compatible." It had a 32MB HD inserted in one of the expansion slots, GAWD that was awesome.

If system administration is not repetitive you are doing it wrong.

Books are expensive? You ever been to Amazon?

We have great fiber penetration...a lot of it isn't even lit up.
We are the only carrier with a nationwide network that lets you use Wi-Fi to talk on your phone, at no additional charge.
At no additional charge? I guess they think people are stupid? Here, make calls using someone else's network for no extra charge!
Yeah, they got the long-term covered too. Its called monopolistic collusion.

Yes, this should help with my plans for single, homogeneous world government.

Obligatory....."but what about Diaspora?"

I cleaned my browser history and was able to read the rest. Yes, I read the articles....[bows head]
Your post made me sad.

...and the derived technology that fueled a generation?

Yeah, taking notes during class is a disaster, makes it worse.
Just a bit of a joke and I get dick-punched? You know, the Romney slogan, "Believe?" Whatever.
The TRS-80 was the first serious, widely adopted business computer, period.

Budgets and financial statements in Visicalc, address labels, frogger, W2's, payroll, sniff them......they smell so goood!
Yeah.....perception is reality. Perception of security is safety. Let us know how that turns out.
I'm a total Google fanboy, but they really do need some better, maybe more conventional, leadership in the customer service and marketing areas.
Well, there's always Diaspora...
That has earned itself a place in the slashdot hall of memes.
