We do probably 60-70% of our hiring straight out of college. Now we aren't a large company (probably only add 5-10 people a year) but there are certainly plenty of places taking fresh outs.
Rose is more of the exception then the rule (at least I hope so) in that it only went co-ed in 1995? When I attended our gender ratio regardless of major was only 18-20%
There was no cheating in his story. If it was actually required work then the students wouldn't pass the test if they didn't know the material, if they understand the material what the hell do you care if they dance to the busy work for some teacher? If you want homework to matter make it 50% of the grade, don't do the retarded bullshit of "It's worth 5% but you can't take the test or pass unless all assignments are turned in."
Mythbusters tested it and found it DID improve the quality, the myth that was busted was that it would become equivalent to truly top shelf vodka, which it failed to meet. However it still had marked improvements each pass through.
How is this different then D2? No one was ever selling enigmas for gold. You had to trade up some value ladder like pgems->low-runes=sets/uniques->mid/hi runes=endgame gear. Why not just replace that value ladder with an arbitrary currency, which in this case happens to be dollars. (or your local currency)
We just arranged an employee trip to the shooting range a month or two back to get new shooters into the sport. Although by the same logic how many companies don't have a group that meets at the bar after work? I can't imagine any non public facing job where you drinking would come up in an interview. Although I do think our neo-prohibitionist stance that rears up any time a teacher is seen drinking is pretty stupid.
My droid charges via USB. I use blizzards authenticator application for my WoW account for over a year now and haven't had any issues with it. This may not be for everyone, but I can't think of a time I've ever wanted to check my email that I haven't had access to my phone.
Well since apparently I know nothing about Slashdot and convinced myself that I could post anonymously and not wipe out my moderation, I'm now free to respond to this.
http://developer.android.com/index.html is simply phenomenal. There's helpful guides and code samples; I was able to go from zero mobile development experience and having used Java 7 years ago to developing my own app in a week or two of side project work.
The only time I really strayed from that site was while looking into alternative database frameworks and setting up unit and integration tests. In those situations google usually turned up good results for my searches.
If your guild doesn't have at least two tanks, what raids are you getting ready for? I've healed several pug runs with the lfg tool. There's not much luck, just a little effort. 30 hours is 10 3 hour runs, average 5 bosses each, 50 boss kills of JP = 2-3 items, 60 drops assuming 1/6 are useful and you win half of those gives 5 drop upgrades and tabards mean you have at least three revered or two revered and one exalted faction which if you looked at the vendors means another 2-3 items, tada! raid ready.
Normally I'm posting on the opposite side of this, but you're far overestimating the difficulty. I was raid ready in about 30 hours of casual play at 85, and I got 300~ archeology in that time. Heroics are hard with bad players, I run guild groups of competent people and heroics are fun and not that challenging. They aren't the complete jokes that heroics were last expansion, but calling them hard is probably an overstatement. It's really not that hard to get 340+ ilvl, you pick up 4-5 drops, buy 2-3 JP items and 2-3 faction items and you're geared. You can pursue all of those avenues of gear concurrently just by running heroics. I've downed 3 different raid bosses in a relatively casual friends and family guild already.
TFS isn't/that/ bad, but it's not that great either. One of my co-workers created git-tfs based off of git-svn bridge which lets us dump an existing TFS directory into a local git repository, bringing in all the history from the TFS repo. Several of us who prefer git simply use that to get a local repo, do our development work in git, and then use it to bundle up a TFS changeset when we are done. It's a bit of work but it's nice to be able to instantly switch out of my dev branch if I need to test something in the base site or any of the other workflows where git is superior. Also not having the entire source tree write locked is a pleasant change, I like just being able to fix a sql file without having to hunt it up and check it out first.
You also get save game management between all of your installs. If your computer dies and you reinstall you get back all of your saved games. Other things like the steam achievements and being able to chat with friends while in game through the steam overlay. Just a lot of little features that add up.
You can't just go and upend everything whenever you feel like it. After a while players get tired of the change and decide, "screw it, I'm going to play something else".
You can't just leave everything the same or after a while players get tired of the same old thing and decide, "Screw it, I'm going to play something else."

I don't think most people want to become legends for being douches.
Merging is a lot less painful the more frequently you do it.

Someone had a different experience of playing monopoly and cards than I did with my siblings.

Your amusing optimism is quite humorous, you should bookmark this post so you can come back in the future and admire your naivete.

That's convenient, because you don't. They just make it easier to be successful. I know plenty of people who raid with stock or near stock interfaces.
He means Algorithm, I hope.
Finally a use for all of the 'Out of the Fiery Furnace' videos my dad had me watch as a child.
