Student loans do not suck. They take the money issue off the table so you can worry about getting your paper. If the loans do not cover the cost of your "education" then that is a gamble you are willing to take I guess. The colleges and universities ARE matching the price of their programs TO the amount of grants and loans students get. Some raise the price a certain amount over the loans because they know some will choose to attend and that the parents will pay the amount not covered. It is an elaborate game. Where I work, the tuition is set VERY low ($99 per credit hour) because the students live on their overage from the Pell and federal loans. They know all too well that if the rate goes up attendance goes down. It is an income stream for a majority of their students as well as an education.
Millions of people are graduating with AAS and BS degrees who are completely useless with basic office productivity software. Ask them to do something like create labels for all the customers and they literally spend all day trying to get it done--improperly of course. Your chances of finding an office manager who doesn't bone up your whole operation is slim. I have found that having a basic level of competence is enough for people to treat you like a god. If you excel above average (big mistake) people become nervous and your co-workers will usually avoid you or try to shut you out--the boss then has to jump thru all kinds of office politic hoops to keep the whole crew from defecting in your presence ultimately stifling your growth and limiting your effectiveness. I want to work from home.
You cannot curtail those who are interested. If they are not interested I do not want them working on, near, or around me on anything that would require competence.
I hit the gym at 5:30 to 6:00 AM. Otherwise I feel like shit the rest of the day. After work isn't an affective time to work out. It requires energy and your metabolism is already clocked in for the day. Also, don't eat anything but fruit/raw vegetables all day--you never get tired. The first week or two is rough but after a while you can go the whole day without eating and not feel bad at all (depending on your metabolism) if you need to. If you have "irresistible" cravings it is because your gut has old food lodged in it--you REALLY should abstain at that point. Yogurt (Greek) is a good protein with your fruit too. On my days off I eat like a freakin pig.
He has to divorce himself from the cannabis issue so it doesn't play into his image and diminish his credibility and that of the democrat party. The republicans would skin him alive on that and the issue would disappear under a blanket of jokes endlessly regurgitated by the media.
"remedial action" ???? We can't even control the things we have created. Now you want to engage "remedial action" on the globe? Have you seen a picture of this planet from space? You can't even see us! You can't see the cars, the houses, our largest buildings, or anything. We do not have the power to remediate this planet. The most we could do is stop polluting it with our junk.
About ten years ago I saw a listing (on Speer's website) that touted approval from the USDA for loans to establish a weapons manufacturing plant or research site for anyone considering leasing the buildings and land. The site was owned by Speer who makes a great deal of munitions (for rifles to tanks), part of that particular site was idle at the time and they had it up for lease. I will never forget that, at the time I was evaluating USDA loans for housing. The USDA certainly needs examined.
No, users define feature creep. All software starts out lean and nimble. Then users start sending email, or people start viewing competing software products as metrics.
WTF?! I had never paid attention to where the tabs are! Now that I look I'm flabbergasted. Firefox AND Chrome both keep the tabs at the top, and I like it. What the hell guys?
I maintain a decent sized project myself (one man) and have found that the UI must be completely revamped as the project grows and new features are added. A great deal of time is spent messing with the UI even with a GUI builder feature. The thing is, is just isn't about looks and placement, it is about intuitiveness and workflow logic that become the overriding factors in UI design. Frankly, it gets overwhelming as a project grows. User interfaces are a tough nut to crack, it takes a specialist and working with users on a constant basis. The state of my UI, although by no means terrible, is really making me nervous now as I see it change from being an asset to a liability in terms of user satisfaction.
Google provides a valuable service that lifted the internet out of the dark ages. I'm still grateful (after 10 years) and happy that they are prosperous. I used excite for all search "back in the day" and dropped it the second I discovered Google. People forget, some people just don't know. Google -to- Facebook is no comparison.
Awesome. Gaming the system IS the current issue with search. It is very discouraging to offer a real service (information, software) or free product and be overridden by commercial interests in search results because they pay thousands of dollars for SEO pros. Search is close to broken in some respects, human manipulation pandering to the quantifiable metrics of the algorithm are hurting search. I think this move by Google is killin gseveral birds with one stone. Hopefully it is no the end to changes that deflect SEO. Organic SEO is fine where you optimize your site to make it easier to search, but it doesn't cost $2000 - $5000 a month to do this.
Reminds me of those driver websites that embed Google ad links into download buttons. Complete violation of Google TOS yet the whole site is based on that technique and returns on the top of search results.

Have you ever seen a Hollywood movie shooting on location? Hundreds of crew, trucks, generators, lights, etc, etc.
...and the air lifted cappuccino machine...Don't forget that every Wednesday is cake day, and the leopard cage.

Is it even possible to write a web app in ASM? I think so.
Best /. thread EV----ER---!
Money is an extrinsic reward and is sure to kill their interest in short order.

Email is even used for EDI for Pete's sake. If no one knows the address email is not broken.
What's wrong with spelling out 'Microsoft' anyway? I always do, and I have loathed Microsoft since Windows started appearing on desktops.
Spot on, if you need to process a mailing list then you need should use a service like SMTP anyway ( http://www.smtp.com/ )

The same reason your girlfriend starts bitching and making demands after she moves in.

"unstable piece of crap that can't be trusted to have more than a few tabs open." .....Something is wrong with your computer.

300 keywords for one site? You're doing it wrong.
