Only two MicroSoft products are making much money, And Balmer is strangling one of them by ignoring a huge market. Bill G & Steve J had a nice deal to port Office to Macs right after Steve returned.
The full set of task include:
-developing clients
-obtaining a project
-specifying the project
-writing tests for the specification
-writing the code
-testing the code yourself EXTENSIVELY
-documenting the code
-teaching the program to the client
-storing the code in a versioned database
-fixing bugs (for months or years)
-documenting bugs/enhancements in a database in case they return again
-marketing the code to secondary customers if allowed
-downtime between projects
-learning/obtaining new hardware and software
If you freelance, you do these all yourself. Maybe a quarter of your time will be spend coding. There are many open-source/online aids to help you with some of these tasks. Newbies and college kids think a programmer spend 90% of their time programming. Hah!
If you work for as developer for a software company many of these tasks will be off-loaded to specialists. Then you might code as much as half your time.
Many of the successful freelancers I know pretty much stayed with clients from previous fulltme jobs. They may branch out to clients inthe same field. breaking into totally new areas is not easy.
But I could not google all their names. He has a brother named K.B. and five nephews, apparently unnamed.
Pluto was one of the most popular cinema cartoons when Pluto was named. It was named for Roman god underworld and fit in with his three brothers, father and grandfather - the other five outer planets. But the press at the time noted the connection with cartoon character with kids imagination.
Mid-80s UNIX discussion groups. Used the the telephone version of the internet at the beginning.
I used my real name them because thats all schools would allow on your account. Plus local servers erased stuff 30 days old due to disk space then.
I never foresaw ten years later google would buy up all the archives and put it searchable online.
But now google has "aged out" lots of its older stuff. Or it drops 50 pages deep unless you home in on it exactly.
The H series is meant to be temporary. Most the applicants for these intend to stay in the US. The H visa leads to grief for employees and abuse by employers.
Some of these ideas are as seductive as rationalism in the short term. That could backfire even more against fundamentalism, which essentially only supports one view of the world.
When I was a MIT and Stanford. Very clever, creative people but never "joiners" of any group, whether the group was classmates, sports, or coworkers. Should ever a new group coalease around them, then they'd switch to something different. I was never sure if the reason was disdain, boredom, or as the clever outsider they'd be in the spotlight. Group membership can give you emotional support, especially when things are going bad. Most of these people I knew turned into lost souls.
Most self-motivated hackers and science types learn something well before HS graduation. And often something is now taught in HS computer classes. Half my freshmen college class knew some programming. And that was before there were home computers.
If his real name becomes exposed. (which is the current law in China is to use your real name on the internet) Local police are pretty much above the law and federal police not much better. They will not think twice of a "fatal accident" if you cross someone's connection.
We just went to through a round of this last year with the Bo-Xilai incident. Bo was a potential Chinese presidential candidate. His wife was snuffing out business enemies using local police. The local police chief tried to defect to the US claiming he'd killed as an inmate. But Hillary brokered a compromise turning him over to federal police where he would at least have a chance at a trial and living.
Metal, i.e. any element heavier than helium is astronomical jargon, accumulates through a succession of supernovae. Theoretically some heavy early stars could if gone supernova in a billion years. Then recycled into red dwarfs as old as 11 billion years.
Seems to be a competitionbetween the major political parties who can give away the American Dream the fastest. One faction will have unlimited immigration for those with STEM degrees. The other, unlimited immigration from our neighbors.
Vegetarians tend to be tri-chromatic; carnovores bi-chromatic or less.
Some human females are quad-chromatic. They may have two different variants of the blue-yellow gene on their two X-chomosomes. They may see color more vividly than males.
They may have overlooked an important factor. It would not be the first time. Carl Sagan went overboard with is "nuclear winter" scenario based on 1-D atmospheric profiles, land-only model 20 years ago. Later 2-D mixed land/ocean models were more moderate.
US citizens relinquished citizenship and due process if they joined an enemy army of the US, whether it was the Redcoats, Germans, or Al Cada.
Its important to set clear boundaries. Joining the US Communist party or neo-nazis should not have had the same consquences because it never declared war on the US.
Plus I am concerned about growing use of domestic drone technology like for the in the Alabama kidnapping this week. Only a short step to arm them.
You basically need a hotel license for rentals of less than 30 days. Most often its neighbors turning in neighbors due to the congestion of increased traffic. But there was NY Time stories of people getting busted for advertising on airbnb and craigslist. Its grounds for a losing a lease, which is hard to find in NYC.

Much less and more efficient transportation.
More efficient living situation.
Steward Brand, one of the early environmentalists and Silicon Valley technologists, wrote an interesting book on this.
One can still make more improvements.
The only part of the DOD that will see much growth the next fews after the midesat war drawdowns.

The nominal price here is like 8 cents. But I am a small user. the endless fees at the bottom of the bill double the effective price.

20% of the Canadian immigration point system is for advanced degrees and a waiting job. I hear it is like that for many other countries too.

I can almost hear the armada of drones heading to Anonymous's house.
Between his abuse of women and lack of ear for national police, I dont think he has got it all together.

They called Congress's bluff and stopped making excess payments - no cash.
Similar with Saturday mail. They got tired of waiting for Congress to approve their two year old restructuring plan, so they are acting unilaterally.
Just Planck and Einstein published their disruptive papers. Plenty of "Blck Swans" left in Nature.

Short term rentals of private property. Can be anything from a couch or air matress to bedroom to full housing unit.
It was of the Y-Combinator's business incubators most successful startups.
