I don't see the big deal with the price increase... up here in canada we are streaming only for 8 bucks a month. Mail isn't cheap and sending out all these DVD's gets expensive.
To be that resistant to even accidentally noticing readily accessible pieces of information that you witness on a daily basis... well, it takes a lot more effort than just reading the fucking manual. Really. I'm amazed they can accomplish this at all without daily use of amnesia-inducing drugs. Anyone who has worked front-line tech support or helpdesk jobs has seen this.
ugh... Don't remind me. I see this all the time... I end up face palming way to much
You also have to think about some things when handing code down. The lower level programmers may not be as efficient or knowledgeable in their coding and could add in very in-efficient code which can slow the program down. Also if you program using any advanced techniques (thinking of a co-student of mine) they could easily be lost. I know people who could do a massive conditional statement in one line and it would work perfectly. You show that to someone who have minimal knowledge and their head would explode.
I agree, Computer scientists atleast around here are taught computer programming. Well mostly how to program but not actually with a programming language. I graduated from a comptuer systems technology course which went over everything abit. Well everything as in server admin for windows/linux programming database etc....
The Computer Scientists are pure code no knowledge of servers or anything other then how to create good algorithms. I'm happy with my degree it atleast taught me something, it was also a pain in the ass to get through. We lost around 50% of the class due to people just unable to handle the workload. I can also out program most of the Computer Science students 8/10 times. When it comes to web programming that's about 9.75/10 times.
I DARE YOU to try this in a place like saskatchewan. There is no way in hell you would be able to get away with this. Way to much trouble in the winter, this would just be asking for danger.
Here in N.Battleford we have a a few techs that work at the hospital. There are a couple computer shops, also a couple consulting places. On top of that a small college. Also if you include the two school districts that adds another 7~. There isn't alot but definitely enough to keep 20~ guys busy. There could be more that I'm not even aware of.
Personally I have noticed smaller towns to be overrun with crack/meth houses and all the sex \ crime / and domestic abuse that you hear about from big cities. It happens on a larger scale "per capita" by a huge scale. The big cities have all the programs and resources to combat that kind of thing. Small town gov bare shows up for work during the week.
Yes, but we aren't talking about North Battleford now.... We are talking about towns what have 2k ~ people. Just because North Battleford is one of the worst towns in Canada for certain types of crimes doesn't mean we have to think all towns like it are similar.
Ok who am I kidding most of Saskatchewan is bad... oh well....
If I wasn't working where I am now I would go for something like this. It would be nice, wake up early go shoot some gophers. Go through the morning, go eat lunch and shoot more gophers. Go back to work then go home, shoot some more gophers. Dam that sounds like the life. I could also walk to work, hardly no traffic, and a great place for kids to grow up. Sounds like my kind of life.

ummm ya... you could turn off your AC
No, but you guys do get more for paying for the same at the same price.
I get that, but you still have more selection then we have up here.
Come to Canada before you start complaining about their lack of content...
this exactly

objective C is not that easily approachable. You have to be thinking about c# or C++. I'd rather stick forks in my eyes then program in objective C.
HP Works fine for our health region...
mortgage is actually cheaper where I live then rent... figure that one out.
until a capacitor goes and sounds like an explosion :P

This is what backup servers are for. You should always have a way to failover to another machine in case something like this happens.
A real sys admin would have a backup server to failover to and then fix the real problem on the main machine :)

Its a good thing we are so slow at integrating new software. We only have 3 Windows 7 machines in VMWare the rest are all Windows XP!

+1 you city folk would go crazy if you had to go through what we have to.
