Under 15 total were submitted. Out of that, less than 5 had the qualifications needed. You want to know something? This proved my point.. there are a lot of jobs, otherwise I would have gotten a LOT MORE resume submissions.
I have gotten a few resumes. I will have to take some time to review them as I will not hand resumes that dont fit some basic requirements we have.
1. Willing to relocate to Virginia. 2. US Citizenship and ability to get Security Clearance. 3. a DEGREE (yep). Prefer CS, but others are accepted with Experience.
Since I respond only to those who inquire, I will not give the company name out. Those that have responded get that and more.
Reasons that you have not been hired: 1. No way to tell if you are a programmer on your resume full of other crazy things. 2. No way to know if you are ADDICTED TO COMPUTERS (this I love, gets people jobs a lot). 3. A resume that is stock, shows no creativity. A programmer needs to be CREATIVE!!
Your view is limited and that is why jobs are scarce for you. btw, 20 bucks an hour starting is the national average for CS comming out of school. Please, figure out something else to bitch about cause it dont make sense to me.
I got to spearhead the introduction of Linux to slowly replace our UNIX systems for the system deliveries we make to the various Militaries of the world.
Linux has less license issues, cheaper hardware, and seems close to the same reliability for our products. This is a fun time, but then again I can say honestly that in 8 years I have had maybe 6 months of "I dont want to go to work today" syndrome. That is great!
Come on.. We have been hiring for a long time now. There are plenty of jobs out there.
I am so sick and tired of people claiming there is no jobs out there. We try to find real programmers, you know the ones that can program in C on a UNIX environment. The problems we find in hiring people is that they want to be "Network Admins" or "Web Programmers". Give me a break, go to a 2 year college for that, dont get a CS degree for a Network Admin job.
Also, ever hear of jobs being out there but people are not willingn to take the "cut" in pay? Making 70k is NOT a bad thing, its a JOB and a good thing in most areas. Ever notice how people with less experience are turning down jobs that pay more than your job? They are thrill seekers if you ask me. There are so many jobs in traditional Military application areas and systems areas it is not funny.
Anyone want to please send me your resume.
winston@mageslair.net
and I will talk to you. YES I will try and see if you want the job, and talk to you about it. Considering I can make a good buck on good people, I am willing to talk to people who are smart, good, fun, and willing to take good money, excellent benefits, great job over "perfect money" and a "network admin" job.
Sorry for the rant, but when many companies like where I work are hurting for C/C++ programmers and all I hear is "We cant find jobs" the answer is GROW UP, there are plenty of jobs around.
It very much seems like all this is based on Faith. Makes you wonder if the Unified thoery is Faith altogether. Faith in ourselves, Faith in God, Faith in the Big Bang, Faith in thoeries.
Faith that the plane wont crash. Simply put, it seems that this universe is based on FAITH.
No this is not a "religious" statement, but a Faith observation.
Of course I left! I found out though, what "party line" means in todays terms. You see, the real thing is that truth does not matter in the workplace, its the three letters: CYA (cover your ass).
What was interesting is I had 2 bosses back then, 1 was stating what I did was a PART of my job and if I had failed to do it, why was I there? The other was afraid of litigation and would not deal. Some boss way up made the decision.
I did not know that boss, and will not work for a company that I dont know the people making the decisions for me anymore. Think of all the Enron employees..
So the mantra: CYA and damn the torpedoes, you sink anyways.
You fail to recognize the truth of Free Speech, Free Speech is not CHEAP. Free Speech comes at a price and the company I represented, while acknowledging my RIGHT to state those things, would not go to court over it.
Your right to free speech is only a criminal right or have you not heard? You can get sued for saying things all the time. Since you said I erode your rights, I can sue you and you would have to prove it in order to show that you did not slander my good name.
You live in the Golden Times, where Gold means you have the Time.
Its very simple, If I had the money, I can keep the rights I have with a good lawyer. No one eroded the right, it still exists.. we just cannot afford to pay for our "FREE SPEECH"
When stating an opinion about a company, you can get sued. In my case, I stated that the lack of scanning the uploads directory and still allowing it to be able to be downloaded could provide a way for trojans and viruses to move around.
I was then threatened with a lawsuit and had to print a retraction in order to prevent it. It was rather stupid, but these things have been going on for a long time.
If anyone would care to back me, I will state who and what for a lawsuit but I cannot afford one myself.
From the Daily Legal Ass Report: "Today, Popular Website Slashdot.org was sued for Trademark infringements for posting about a company we will not reveal for fear of being sued ourselves"
Rob Malda, in a statement to us, said "We will not back down from this attack on individual rights"
In a followup interview after Slashdot pulled all references and settled with this unnamed company, Malda states "Jon Katz made me do it"
We will let you know at a later time, the lawyer is at the door stating to even refer to an unnammed company is putting us in trouble.
I am sooooooo happy I pay for all this stuff to get "free" information. I have to pay for a computer 2,000 bucks (over time, I have spent tens of thousands). Reliable internet at 89 a month (broadband.. weee). Now we get to pay for a site. Its another site... its SLASHDOT.
Lets see that makes all my favorite sites going subscription and now that would make my total per month fee once on the internet to be around 30 bucks for some subscriptions?
You realize.. I wont be paying for slashdot. Agree or no, I have kids.. and I am already maxing out my budget JUST for internet ACCESS.
Wasnt there an article like a couple days ago on how broadband is getting even cheaper?
I am addicted. Have been, and am currently on ZOLOFT because of this.

How can you have a reported net LOSS and a Profit?

· Score: 1
"The company reported an adjusted net income of $600,000, or break even per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2002, compared to an adjusted net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.02 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. On a reported basis, the net loss was $27.6 million, or $0.16 per share, compared with a net loss of $17.4 million, or $0.11 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2001"
Will someone explain how you can lost money and still be profitable. I dont get it? What is "Reported basis" any Accountant?
I was considering purchasing an addition to my home entertainment center. I was considering TiVo as my new addition. To learn that I would have to PAY a constant subscription rate just to get it to work??
Does UltimateTV work the same way? I am so tired of being part of "residual" income for companies. I would buy the product, then I own it, not have to worry about paying to keep using it.
Its not like you dont pay for Cable already or DSS or your TV. Now you have to pay monthly to get some advanced VCR on your TV.
I am afriad that soon I will not be able to do things because "It may happen" when nothing has ever happened before.
The MPAA statement about Guns having rules against them is valid but ONLY because it has been PROVEN beyond a shadow of a doubt that overt acts of violence come from guns. I do not support Gun Control, but this in NO WAY relates to a product that HAS NOT been proven to have 1 incident of copyright infringement.
This is where I am scared and sadened. My daughter or my Son will not be able to access certain sites in the future because "It may cause people to kill", Wont be able to play games because "It may cause people to freak out". In the end, the freedom from speculatory laws is dying out.
Anyone else see this obvious thread? Or am I totally off my rocker and nothing bad will come of this?
In order to prove that anomalies occur, we must disprove theories.
So,
If 1/3 + 2/3 = 1, and 1/3 =.3333333(cont), and 2/3 =.6666666(cont), and.333333 +.6666666 =.9999999(cont)
1 !=.99999999999999999999(cont)
Thus, since 1 != 1, we have an anomaly.
But wait, all math is based on the concept of a point. A point is defined as something that is "assumed" to exist. Thus following maths own principles, math is only assumed to exist.
Thus we have now proved anomalies, and Green is black, and The Mummy Returns will get 10 oscars.
In a bazarr twist, Blizzard, the maker of the popular "Diablo" computer game series has sued the movie "The Mummy Returns".
The contention that they used a race of pygmies with big sharp knives stolen from the Diablo series was refuted when the director of the movie stated "Jon Katz never mentioned it in his review, so it cannot be"
Jon Katz has never been proved incorrect in any of his reviews. This is a damning argument against Blizzard.
Slashdot readers continue to enjoy the movie and make it the highest paid movie (70 million) for a non-holiday weekend.
Since when did Data Compression become Data hiding? It is simple that he "Moved" data but never compressed it. The quest was for a Lossless Data Compression and any person involved in basic data compression would testify that this did NOT meet the requirements of Compression but the requirements of data hiding.
He lost, he complained, but simply put he paid 100 dollars to play word games with the intent.
Very well thought out. I think the biggest problem is that embedded devices are more defined and thus when someone puts a library it will save a lot of money.
It is like drivers for devices. Once one is written, you can use it as a template for other very similar devices. Now if your job is selling the hardware, sure.. but if your job is selling the hardware and the HMI, would not taking an existing standard save you money? Of COURSE it will, and existing code will make that easier.
Will you then release code you make to add on to it to now make it easier for your next competitor to come along?
GPL means that the person who initialy invested PAYS the cost. Others can live off it.

It is NOT a Government job, it requires a Security Clearance. Seriously different.
It excludes people who committed felonies, have serious financial issues, drug issues, and are not a US Citizen.
99%? sad really if thats the case. I would expect maybe it would exclude 20-30% of the people.
Eh? How many resumes?
Under 15 total were submitted. Out of that, less than 5 had the qualifications needed. You want to know something? This proved my point.. there are a lot of jobs, otherwise I would have gotten a LOT MORE resume submissions.
Those that submitted I talked to directly.
A Followup:
I have gotten a few resumes. I will have to take some time to review them as I will not hand resumes that dont fit some basic requirements we have.
