because (ignoring the finacial side), that's all they know how to do. The human side of spying we no longer want to do. It's all about hardware and automation. God forbid someone should actually want to go into the field and get their hands dirty.
in the 70's (or was it the 80's?) had this feature. It would save things automatically to an internal buffer (on disk), from which things could be restored in the event of a power outage. That feature saved me more than once.
It's a useful thing. No operator intervention required.
Will Microsoft assume liability for when Palladium breaks, or are they going to hide behind some shrink-wrap/click-through agreement that says that they (Microsoft) can't be held liable for anything?
The article says something about the average college loan of a baby boomer at about $2000, now it's $17000. About the price of a small new car in the 70's and now. Big deal.
The baby boomers didn't start off with the inflated salaries of the dot-com era. So salaries will finally get in line with what you can actually do. Big deal.
The relatively high unemployement rate of 6% is nowhere near the rate of the 70's (closer to 8%).
Finally for those of you who don't have a job. You already have one: it's called finding a new job. Treat it with the seriousness of a real job and you will find one. Maybe not in the geographic area of your choice or in the field of your choice, but to summarize Who Moved the Cheese, there are good jobs out there, you have to find them. Don't ask where, that's your job, remember? </RANT>
At the graduate school I went to (SUNY at Stony Brook), they didn't care about your GRE in their subject, becuase they could teach you that. They cared about the Math and English, because they didn't want to teach you that.
I still wouldn't use an HP printer. Who wants to give them $25 for every cartridge? That is where they make their money.
When my HP-600 died a couple of months ago, I bought an Epson. Their windows driver kinda sucks. It seems to render the entire print job (locally) before it sends it to a networked printer.
but who you know. My wife is a technical editor who does all her work through Fedex. She started freelancing while she was still in an area where there were employers for that sort of thing, and as we moved around, the work followed her.
The point is, she got to know a number of people in person, establish a reputation, then was able to work at home.
Try being a full-time teacher in the US without also being a member of the NEA - it doesn't happen. I was and didn't have to be.
guaranteed work for life contract Not in any of the schools I've worked in. They have laid off teachers just like any other company.
Because family structures have fallen apart, teachers are expected to be caretakers first, and educators second True, but did you ever think that if you taught interesting things, then your students would be able to forget their problems for the 45 minutes that you have them?
charter schools make far better use of the money they have, and leverage technology better than traditional public schools. The reason charter schools seem to do better is that they are skimming the top. The students have parents who care.
The reason schools don't change is that parents don't perceive their schools as having problems, it's all those other schools that need to change.
are sample programs that don't install easily and aren't intuitively obvious (to me, not you) to use. If I can't install a demo version (because it has dependencies that I haven't installed) or if I have to read some opaque manual to figure things out, then I'll move on.
What makes you think they care?

The MPAA and RIAA are not about movies or music, contrary to what you may think. Those organizations exist to only preserve the status quo.
Are you sure youre restore CD will install windows? All mine does is enable the hidden partition on the hard drive where actual code was. Now just where do you think I found the room to dual boot linux on that laptop?
Shame on them for installing a 6MB harddrive and telling me it's only 4Mb. Did you really think I wouldn't find out?
It sortof sounds like you expect them to live up to your standards, which nobody will. If you really want to be the "manager" of this project, then that's what you'll have to be.
Get to know them, take them to lunch.
Some people have a hard time coming up with original code. Give them a skeleton to work with.
Help them do the design, in a very concrete way. Your goal in this part is not to do it, but to lead them in doing it. Remember it's their code, not yours, so they need to come up with it, as painful as it may be to you.
Don't think that just because they say the right things, they actually understant what they say. Too many people know the right words, and can even put them together in sentences.
Despite what some others have posted (cover your ass, by making it you're bosses problem), show some initiative by solving this yourself.
Don't think you're boss isn't aware of this. He either can't think of a solution or is seeing if you can solve it.
Spend your free time working on their part of the problem, then the working day helping those get their part done, in their own way. Yes this is a lot of work, but it will enhance your skills at leading projects. Eventually you'll learn to do this without actually doing the work before hand.
If all else fails, start to yell and scream. Sometimes a boss has to be an asshole.
Maybe because they realize that his company tanked (and he was on the auditing committee) right after he sold his stock.
Blame him? No, he's cut of the same cloth.
Will he do anything about it? No, because the current adminstration is made up of the same guys who didn't understand the economy back when Daddy was in charge, and they certainly don't understand it today.
XML is for moving information from one machine to another, much like HTML. Heck, XML is just HTML where you get to make your own tags. The usefulness comes when you, as a programmer, have to decipher a document that comes from somewhere else, so you can do something with the information contained in it. The documentation is built it. It's the next generation past using key=value pairs. How do you nest those in a generalized way, so the machine you are sending information to, can decipher it?
As far as parsing it, there are libraries for that.
Stupid users don't doggedly stick at something for three and a half years, trying distribution after distribution in the hope of finding the holy grail of Linux desktops Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Go to Graduate School. Some of them (the research public/perish ones) have that atmosphere. I joined a.con to find that atmosphere. Now that I'm in a real company, the energy is gone, and it's no longer as fun.

Being positive does a lot more than being negative.
You must not have seen any political ads the past few weeks.

Does anyone know for a fact if libraries actually keep historical records? Another article (don't remember where) stated that they didn't.
The system has a personal information sharing agent called "My Man."

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this. Put up a web site, get it mentioned on slashdot and monitor the load on the server.

the literacy rate is 100%. Can any other place in the world claim the same ?
Cuba, maybe?
