The bigger a degree, the more interest it'll engender. I've know people who've succeeded with associates degrees, but typically they don't get very far, very quick. The bachelors crowd tends to do a bit better.
Given my prior experience, it just wasn't as intuitive as the others.
I didn't say it was hard to use, just harder. I used a comparative, not an absolute. It was the only one where I needed to go online to figure out how to go online for some basic configuration/setup help.

I think you hit one of the key issues with that article on the head. Of those listed, I found the iOS the be the hardest to work with, and even it was fairly simple.
Windows 8 has some good ideas from the tablet perspective, but they do some idiotic things (the UI context switching the author mentioned, as well as the 'auto-hide' stuff that works better with a mouse than a touch interface). Are they as bad as the author was saying? No, but sensationalization gets clicks!
Not saying I recommend Windows 8 (even with the difficulties, I'll take an iPhone over Windows 8 RT, and all the non-RT tablet hardware looks to suck). Fortunately, there's Android about.
They have some pretty shitty concepts of digital security. Try all your personal details (everything needed to steal your identity) sent in the clear (or on PDF) over email as practice.
A lot of other bulbs, including modern incandescent, have plastic parts. So long as the plastic is high enough temperature compared to (a) the normal operating temperature with a decent fudge-factor for higher-than-normal temperature use and odd situations, and (b) if possible, tolerance for temperatures seen if there is a short... why not?
I never said guaranteed, I said it increases the odds. The degree also matters, Physics, Electrical Engineering, English, Philosophy and Computer Science will also net you different results. Add to that you willingness to (a) work outside your core field [why I'm making over the average household income now, instead of around the average individual income], and (b) move to a location with more job opportunities.
Given your last paragraph, that's probably why you are in the situation you are in - start with wages, and employers will wonder how much you really are willing to work for your money.
I never said they were doomed to fail, I said they are a lot less likely to succeed - with the implicit 'in the field of tech' given this conversation. I said that college was a way of hedging your bets.
As far as college, I didn't pay a dine, nor did my parents. Scholarships and grants are great. I know other who did pay, and are better off (or worse) than me.
And if everyone moved to those no-degree-needed fields, they'd be saturated, and lower paying.
Actually, it's the reverse. College is a way to get you started. The saying goes, your degree gets you your first job. Your remaining job(s) get you the job(s) subsequent to them.
If you have the experience, you don't need to job, but it's hard as hell to get the early experience without that degree.

Yep. If you drop out with your cash-cow already moo-ving (sorry, had too)... You are taking a huge risk, and just as likely to end up on the street or in your parents basement.
A college degree isn't a surefire way to become rich, or even get a job, but it does improve your odds of at least getting a decent paycheck. The world cannot support everyone being a billionaire entrepreneur - and for those who don't have the ideas, or just get them too late, college is a good way to increase the odds of a decent 'consolation prize' to not being a billionaire entrepreneur.
My guess is that the people promoting this want one thing: cheap, desperate labor, which these dropouts would become, when the majority of them fail to be successful.
The market that controls the prices also includes the supply chain, and too often in capitalism, there's enough bottleneck-control (i.e. a monopoly) at some point in the supply chain, that the customer/consumer has very little to say in the price.
knowledge and available alternatives (or the possibility thereof) change opinions.
As for the commercial/institutional users - they tend to shave every penny they can, regardless of the health and safety of their employees, so how's that say anything other than "it's cheap and not illegal, or enforced to the point where the illegality matters"?
Temperature sensitivity and reaction to incoming light are two things I'd be concerned with. Outside of that, these do sound a bit too good to be true...
I'd say the 'not Dubya' is pretty correct. The 'eye candy' and 'messiahs' part are the usualy conservative trolling though. People generally did want away from anything associated with Bush, including his party. As such, dems could have run the crypt keeper (Hillary?) and still won. Fortunately for the Republicans, she's 2016's candidate.
It's still reducing the time overhead (and probably heat overhead, since it's a less generic mechanism). It's still there as opposed to... not there. There's just less of it.
given the post you made (the GP to the post I'm replying to). You just said there are low end 6-core systems.
So... are you saying 6 core is low end, but dual core + HT is mid range?
AMD reaches into the mid range, and they usually have a low to mid range CPU that is worth the money. Where AMD fails is single core/CPU performance, they still usually scale better than Intel.
Unlike living organisms, It is not a derivation of it's predecessors put into place by selective forces acting on semi-random changes, but rather designed by people.
It's still obeying the same laws of physics and chemistry... And that would only alter some, not all, of the choices made for chemicals and techniques used.
Look at ever despotic socialist country out there (N. Korea comes to mind).
Even if you ignore that Soviet era Russia used money (I have a couple Soviet era ruble and kopeka coins to prove it), can you honestly deny that the higher ups in the party have/had it better than the workers? Just as with capitalism, greed and profit is still factor that breaks the system, the difference is how it is represented (less focus on currency in socialism) and how you move up (luck, effort and PR skills in communism, vs. luck, effort and PR skills applied to a slightly different window-dressing for capitalism).
The more the upper echelon saved in work and money on labor, the more they could afford on themselves.

Are you talking about "The Lost Levels" Mario 2, or "Doki-Doki Panic" Mario 2?

Try getting a mortgage.
I dealt with several major banks here in the US, and ALL of them figured that this was a "good idea".
You've obviously never dealt with banks.

Subtract 5 years... that's me, with my nice college degree.

Yes, but if it's hard to get the field to be sufficiently over saturated, it's a nice fallback.

you and I are the market now? Narrow definition.

I'd say intelligently designed.
For just piracy? They won't arrest you, they'll just charge you an absurd amount of money and steal your stuff.
Will it help net neutrality, or will it be more designed to favor corporate profiteering and plundering at the public's expense?

Profit isn't only driven by currency.
