Because someone coming in "6 years IT experience, no programming experience" is going to be an entry level programmer... He will either be put doing what he is most qualified for, or thrown in way over his head. Even if there was a "learn programming" job, it will be lightyears from his "seasoned admin" salary.
You won't be dong it for a living anytime soon, but you could at least do something fun and personal. Try writing a game or app for Android. You can cover a lot of ground in an environment that is easy to use like that.
You were mandated to go to work to be paid and keep your job. One is usually not mandated to go to class that they pay for. And it isn't the university's business what I do with the time I have lectures scheduled.
I am an engineer, and skipped probably a third of my classes. Not because I was lazy, but because there were far more efficient things to do with my time (like homework/projects). If the UK did biometrics for people with student visas, that would be one thing. Doing it for everyone is asinine.
If I were Apple, I would push out a patch today that scraps Apple Maps and replaces it with Google. Apple is a company that makes its money selling hardware with a proprietary OS, not homegrowing competitive and complex applications. They stretched themselves outside their realm of competency, and this is a good time to fix it.
Honestly, I don't get why they didn't support or help Google from the start. I would have thought that if they wanted to develop, they could have more easily come up with a frontend to several MS Office replacements and avoid all the BS with Office 365.
And we are keeping weapons away from certain people (NK military leaders) not suggesting that nobody should have them. Same logic is applied to convicted felons and firearms.
We have been polluting heavily for a hundred years or so, but we are already able to counter the effect of global warming (look at all the schemes for changing climate, from space mirrors to simulated volcanic eruptions, to painting a small part of the earth white). The biggest obstacles are willpower for funding and lack of need/urgency.
For all we know we are a province of their empire. Being conquered doesn't mean you are entitled to knowing about it if your technological advancement is so low that you can't participate in the greater galaxy...
Well, that is per account. My family has four people on one account, making the 1 hr/day average very easy to hit. It might be better to think of it as 30m accounts, 60-120m viewers.
At that point, eyebrow raising possibilities seem to be unsurprising and mundane.
What freedoms is it about? Freedom of speech? You wouldn't have any reason to be arrested. Freedom to do illegal things without interference? Be ready for the consequences. Freedom of privacy? Nice and all, but you need to be prepared to accept the responsibility for protecting others' privacy and them abusing it.
You can't have all flavors of cake, the world is far more selfish and less ideological than you. There is a dream where someone can host a data agnostic service and not be responsible for policing content, but as history has shown (Megauploads, 4chan, now Tor), the law doesn't respect those dreams.
What you mean is, "They should arrest pawn shop owners that facilitate fencing stolen goods", which they do, as they aren't arresting all owners of Tor exit nodes, just ones they can show are doing illegal things.
It seems like in all the pictures, there is a flexible part (screen, keyboard, whatever depending on the concept) and a rigid part. There would have to be... as even if they had bendy leads, displays, and batteries, good luck coming up with a bendy processor.
I think the bigger problem was rushing the product out, full of bugs, rather than lack of expertise or unreliable data. It would have been wiser to let it mature a bit more like Google did. Somebody had to be the guy that said, "Eh, it is good enough, let's ship."
Um, no. You seem to misunderstand the purpose of gaming consoles. Consoles are a single set of hardware, optimised to play games (not do multiple things, like a PC), running software optimised for the hardware architecture.
This means that you can produce a console that is 1. Cheap for the performance it offers (less than half the price of an equivalent PC due to many levels of optimization for high performance on lower end HW) 2. Reduces maintenance costs (don't have to offer driver support, deal with SW interaction, etc) 3. Is smaller and much lower power (my box uses 20x more power than the wii u), therefore cheaper to manufacture (See point 1)
I mean, what you are proposing is not much different from calling Motorola idiots for not just selling a peripheral and OS that turns your high performance, do anything Desktop PC into your mobile phone.
So you've eliminated half of travelers, since young males make up the largest single demographic that fly. Until you reduce that amount by a couple orders of magnitude, you haven't done anything effective.

Since AMD is worth about twice what Valve is and has 60x the employees, I think it'd be the other way around.

They fly 24 hrs a day...?

Sorry this offends your kooky views that all bad things come from the U.S., and that the EU doesn't have a shitpile of problems of its own.
Did that, had a gun pulled on me. Stupid idea. Not lulsy. I'd rather leave them alone than ruin the rest of my day.

Hold the GP to the same standard...

Plants and animals with such narrow ranges are far more susceptible to deforestation and encroachment than to GW...

I bet paleontologists would be pissed that Slashdot uses their interesting scientific findings as a soapbox for religion trolling.
Waiting is selfish, but having lots of children so that they can do chores and ease your workload isn't.

Woosh.....
I submit Shigeru Miyamoto as the greatest living artist. His creations are at least as iconic and influential.

Whether it was his call or not is another matter.
