Act like assholes and over step their bounds. Anyone that has went to college knows that the step just above a walmart security is a campus cop. They are not cops but wannabe's that a police department will not hire.
Already watched for in casinos, and you dont understand how they deal cards at a poker table do you. cards are NEVER re-used due to the possibility of marking.
It is NOT coated. it's made of a silicate glass that on it's own removed 98% of the UVA and UVB. Unless BMW and Audi are now shipping cars with Quartz windows.
Sorry but if your "rubbish shades" dont filter UV light then you need to buy all of them because it's made of Crystalline Quartz and are exceedingly expensive.
UV is filtered by 99.99786% of all transparent materiel. Only fools believe the "Filters UV radiation" label, as EVERYTHING filters UV radiation. It's like buying a stereo certified Digital TV antenna. a 3 foot piece of lamp cord is a stereo certified Digital TV antenna.
Why fragment further. they could easily make earlier android version work on "low end" smartphones. Hell phones running android from 3 years ago are low end.
City governments cant keep the basics running smoothly. How the hell are they going to maintain a giant sensor network like that?
there are 4 streetlights in my neighborhood that never work right. if they cant get that working, they will never get a complex system working. City governments do not run like a business. Preventative maintenance is not an option.
Every judge in this country must read the Constitution, then there needs to be a person in the judges chambers that smacks the judge in the head once for every time the judge violated that section he is reading.
"Do you want airbags? Too bad, buy a car and you get them"
Really? the last car I bought did not have them. I intentionally looked for a barely used older car that was PRE airbags. but then I also dont want antilock brakes or other useless crap. I also like rear wheel drive. There area lot of them out there that are in like new shape. Hell it even came with the old engine ripped out and a brand new LS1 installed with a modern ECM installed that had all the GM DRM removed from it.
I used to have Cable and got rid of it, instead using streaming for TV. Hulu and Netflix. I ended up spending 1/3rd the cost even with doubleing my bandwidth for the Internet side.
Recently through work I was able to get Dish Network for our corporate rate of $29.00 a month for 300 channels. Guess what. I get 300 channels of nothing and a reminder of why I thought that Cable TV was a waste of money. At the end of the 2 year "contract" because I did not pay for my box and dish/install I will be dropping it as CableTV/Dish is not even worth $29.00 a month.
Traditional cable is already a dead business model. It's done and over with.
"But people keep going to these schools because traditional colleges do not cater to those who cannot just quit their job and go back to school (like me)."
THIS! Exactly THIS!
Problem is, old farts who work are not going to blow a ton of money on football, hoodies, and other crap that makes the school money.
Examples? Sure.. Michigan State University and The University of Michigan. Football is FAR MORE IMPORTANT to the school than anything else. And yet Football is the least important thing on the planet.
Both cater to only the young kids who can move on campus and live and breathe the campus way. IF you are a 35-40 year old wanting to finally get your masters, go flip off... your classes are only during the day.
MY wife and I both tried the online studies track. In a traditional classroom we both do great and average 4.0-3.5 GPA. when we both tried online courses our GPA dropped drastically.
Why? 90% of all online courses are taught by a "professor" that really cant hack dealing with students AND is majorly overloaded. Teaching 10 classes at a time was what I was told by one of them, oh and he was in China NOT the USA, but his education degree was from a USA college. Questions asked would go unanswered or answered far later than it should have been answered. Plus the class pace is so fast you CANT do anything else during those 3 weeks. every minute of my time after work was dealing with my one onliine class at that time. God help you if you take more than 1 at a time and work full time. Plus I ended up with very little education from the class. It felt like it was just a churn and burn experience to get the credits.
I have fully given up on Online learning at the UNI level. IT sucks, I have not met one person that liked the classes or felt they learned anything from the class that they could have done on their own.
If they make online education on par with traditional education, I.E. same class length, same professor access and REQUIRE the professor to actually answer emails, let me access his/her lectures, etc... then YES Online can work. But the way the colleges have it structured right now. IT's a sub par education that only creates stress and wastes time.
"I know has a ton of unfilled developer positions because we can't find the quality we're looking for, at the pay rate we want to offer."
I fixed that for you. there are PLENTY of high quality programmers without jobs in the USA right now, your Cheap ass boss want to pay $42,000 a year instead of $67,000-$80,000 and thus you only get resumes from new grads or low skilled workers.
Hell I changed career tracks because of that bullshit. DB admin and programmer pay dropped significantly, Bite me. I changed to embedded programming and maintained my pay rate.
"you will solve the same problems over and over again for ungrateful (or just plain rude) co-workers without ever being able to fix the root of the problems."
you CAN fix the root of the problem, it's just that management will not let anyone in IT fire incompetent people or just plain old murder them in their chair.
Like the new sales lady that HR said, "she has a lot of experience with computers" and can't understand why she has to log in every morning or when she leaves her computer for 1 hour. "I dont at home!"
"But I'm on par at perhaps a 85% - 90% level of an expert. And with my crossover knowledge I very often can pinpoint the root of a problem in minutes where experts did already research for hours or days."
In a sea of 35% "experts" you would shine like a beacon. I have met a LOT of fresh CS/IT grads and after 4 years of education they have a 35% knowledge level.
Problem is they will accept the 35% pay rate as well. In michigan the IT job has dropped to $32,000 pay level for not just entry level, but for most senior positions as well. they dont want to pay a living wage to employees.
My first experience out of college before my First CIS/CIT job was laboratory technician at a chemical lab. Unrelated completely unless I need to analyze the bacteria on keyboards....
I STRONGLY suggest joining and being a very active member of a Open source Project so that you also have related experience and example code to show during that time.

ALL sunglasses filter UV light. in fact your car windshield and side windows filters 98% of all UV light.
Thats the trick, almost ALL transparent materials filter out UV light.

further proof that Nokia has jumped the shark.
we pay the taxes, it's just we elect sociopath retards with IQ's under 90 to run things.

as "reasonable legal fees."
$300.00 an hour is the bottom feeder discount price. a "good" lawyer runs well over $1200.00 an hour.

I have that option. I dont want airbags.

"Paper material is still vastly superior to online representation."
really? so how does reading the material from a pulped wood make it superior to reading it on a kindle? This argument falls on it's face hard.
"universal access to quality, online post-secondary education to qualified students"
Sorry but the "qualified students" part bugs me. Anyone interested in learning should be automatically "qualified"

A local app will always be faster than anything running in the browser.
Go ahead, do something along the lines of RAGE in a browser.
Then fire those people, rarely does anyone in upper and middle management have any real worth to the company.
