    By the way, I work in Boston

  2. Re:Pick a different job. on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Wish You'd Known Starting Out As a Programmer? · · Score: 1

    Came here to say this!

    And it sucks everywhere except NYC/SF/Austin/Boston

    I probably should have gone into some kind of engineering.

    After 12 years, I left electrical engineering to go back to school for a CS degree. There was just no work out there in the U.S. unless you had lots of experience with ASIC design or work in the power industry with a professional engineers license. Now, I'm an enterprise software application developer and loving it.

  3. Re:C++ is not the language you start with on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Wish You'd Known Starting Out As a Programmer? · · Score: 1

    Um, why? I don't find it difficult. It may not be the best language to start out with if you are in high school and want to learn object oriented programming but it is easier than say...C++. It has garbage collection, the JVM compiler is mature, its multi-platform, it has libraries and frameworks for whatever you need and its prolific in the enterprise space. Also, its used in Android applications (in addition to C). Java is not going away any time soon.

  4. in other words... on Rightscorp's New Plan: Hijack Browsers Until Infingers Pay Up · · Score: 1

    "[What] we really want to do is move away from termination and move to what's called a hard redirect,

    Is this a fancy phrase for extortion?

  5. Comedy Central, I remember now.

  6. Not to be confused with "Shart Week" that was recently on some cable televsion network...I forgot which.

  7. confession on The Man Responsible For Pop-Up Ads On Building a Better Web · · Score: 1

    Bless ye my son. After your confession, write 10 quicksort algorithms and ye will be absolved of thy sins.

  8. Re:The problem with the all robotic workforce idea on Humans Need Not Apply: a Video About the Robot Revolution and Jobs · · Score: 1

    Robots would need things too such as a refined fuel source and....well, more robots.

  9. chuckle on Murder Suspect Asked Siri Where To Hide a Dead Body · · Score: 1

    I think that makes Apple an accessory to murder. :-) It would be funny if a lawsuit were brought against them.

  10. Re:All I can say to that is... on Aaron's Law Is Doomed and the CFAA Is Still Broken · · Score: 1
  11. LOL on Want To Work Without Prying Eyes? Try Wearing a Body Sock · · Score: 1

    Who would even be caught dead wearing something like that?

  12. Re:But what of the children... on Japan To Launch a Military Space Force In 2019 · · Score: 1

    Or "Battle Of The Planets", featuring G-Force>

  13. from a fan on Ridley Scott to Produce Philip K Dick's The Man In the High Castle · · Score: 0

    I enjoyed reading it. I look forward to this

  14. Tesla on Rand Paul and Silicon Valley's Shifting Political Climate · · Score: 1

    I thought the bulk of Tesla's opposing regulation was from state governments, not Federal government.

  15. The petroleum companies on White House Punts On Petition To Allow Tesla Direct Sales · · Score: 0

    I'm sure Big Oil had a hand in the President's decision.

  16. improvements on New Raspberry Pi Model B+ · · Score: 1

    It sounds like they added more GPIO to make it more competitive with the BeagleBone Black but it still has an outdated CPU with fading support.

  17. Re:Visualing this? on Amazon Seeks US Exemption To Test Delivery Drones · · Score: 1

    I imagine they would have designated pick-up and drop-off facilities. Otherwise, someone is more likely to shoot them down during assent/descent.

  18. Re:won't work on Amazon Seeks US Exemption To Test Delivery Drones · · Score: 1

    Good point, and that would work. I assume drone-deliveries would not be door-to-door.

  19. won't work on Amazon Seeks US Exemption To Test Delivery Drones · · Score: 4, Insightful

    With the amount of gun owners in this country AND the number of paranoid, conspiracy nuts here; how many of those drones will make it to their destinations?

  20. Dog-bear-horse? on Alleged 'Bigfoot' DNA Samples Sequenced, Turn Out To Be Horses, Dogs, and Bears · · Score: 1

    cousin to the infamous man-bear-pig

  21. What next? on Seattle Gets Takeout By Amazon · · Score: 1

    fast food delivery by flying drone?

  22. okay but... on Belief In Evolution Doesn't Measure Science Literacy · · Score: 1

    'Belief' in evolution does not indicate science literacy but most of the science literate acknowledge evolution as the cause for diversity in biological organisms, all having a common ancestor.

  23. hurray for Thesaurus.com on The 69 Words GM Employees Can Never Say · · Score: 1

    exenterate...NOT on the list. *grin*

  24. I worked formerly as an EE on Ask Slashdot: Minimum Programming Competence In Order To Get a Job? · · Score: 1

    I'm a degreed EE and used to do board-level circuit design (I'm not talking about drafting). Then the jobs dried up so I decided to go back to school for a masters in computer science. I picked Java and learned it well. When I turned 40, I graduated and have had a good job as an application developer for 2 1/2 years. I'm good at it but am still playing some catch-up. I enjoy software development and for me, it was worth it.
