So do you have 10 years experience or no experience? You may be your own worst enemy. If you were in TS for at 10 years, you had to as least been a team leader or group manager.
If you actually do have experience, take your resume to a pro and get some career counselling. Work on interview skills that'll let target yourself to the job you want.
I'm not disagreeing with you about the dangers of majority rule, but clarifyin my own point. The basic idea of democracy is that the people have a right to choose their government, and it's leaders. For this to work, the majority rules, but the minority's rights must be respected. The Bill of Rights does not grant power to the people so much as limit the power of government by recognizing certain rights that are reserved by the people. "Congress shall pass no law respecting or restricting" etc.
"You have no right to steal from me just because you got a bunch of people together and they said it was okay"
I agree completely, that statment can be interpreted in both ways. Unfortunately, getting bunch of people together is how many laws get passed today. Check out California's cig tax propositions, or even the back door lobbying article under discussion.
Telco's aren't entitled to my money, nor is anyone else. If the telcos can provide a better service, let them. I just don't this that muni wifi's should be outlawed so that the telco's can benefit from it. I don't equate state provided services with stealing. It could be unfair competition, but certainly not stealing.
"current wacky interpretation of immenent domain"
The ruling is consistant with the 10th amendment, reserving power to the states. The ruling on eminent domain was merely that the definition of "public use" is not defined by the Constitution, and so must be defined by the states. I actually prefer that interpretation. I don't like the outcome for some people, but I respect SCOTUS for keeping the ruling narrowly focused.
That's how medicine was practiced in the US until the early 1900's. It didn't end well for many, many people. Many "doctors" were complete phonys fleecing people of money and splitting town before the patient died. Quack doctors were considered the menace of the day, every bit as much as child molesters are today. "Snake Oil" didn't become a common term for nothing.
Us citizen's should recieve whatever benefits we voted for the government to provide. I'm a strong supporter of a free market, but my democratic principals easily trumps my economic principals. If it won't work or isn't the most effective, so what. It's our right as voters to choose.
Economic principals are should be based economic thoery and be a matter of correct or incorrect. Democratic principals is a moral matter of right and wrong and being able to choose the form of your government.
I really like everything that guy is done, except some of his music. Everyhting he does, lives, and breathes, is about music. He makes it more accessible. He promotes new artists. He promotes international music. He funded a money losing travelling international music festival, a la Lollapalooza, for ten years just to bring exposure to artists and music from differnet countries.
Telco equipment runs off of loosely regulated power supplies. It can be anywhere from -36 to -60V. Cheap, reliable, and easy to gang or connect in parallel for failover.
If it comes out, it will be adopted *very* quickly. I am continually amazed by how fast a cost saving technology is adopted by the computer industry. Power supplies are very expensive and notoriously unreliable. A single output power supply would be far more reliable, cheaper and easier to design and manufacture.
Most, if not all, Universities have a specific "Intellectual Property Clause" that states all work turned in to the University belong to the University. I had to get special permission for my Sr Prject because the Intellectual belonged to the company I worked for at the time. California public universities also enjoy "Soverign Immunity" protection. You can't sue them if they don't want to be sued.
He'd be dropped just like my friend who refuses to get email or a computer. It's not that we don't think he's a friend, it's just that we can't always include him, or get hold of him, when we are planning something. We always need a proxy for him.
If other kids can't get hold of him, He'll be left out. Not every time, but enough to resent it.
Then again, I wouldn't let my kids have an unconstrained cellphone either.
Most options that are granted are backdated to some degree. The real problem is granting vested options, and then not communicating this fact. Many tech companies that give options do this to some degree. It is abuse that is the problem. As long as the terms are available to investors, I have no problem with backdating, or options. Backdating can be somewhat fair if it's meant to shield the recipient from excessive fluctation. This can be done as simply as setting the option price as the average price over the last 3 months. This isn't done to hand out millions to a few execs. It's done for all the employees that receive options. Stock benefit plans can operate in a similar way. I'm not an executive, I'm an engineer. Dammit. I've gotten stock options both ways. I prefer the averaging method. I've been issued stock just as the stock value peaked on a bs rumor/speculation, then dropped it's value by %40 between date of issue actual reciept of unvested option.
I don't think granting stock options themselves are evil, but they are easily abused. They were originally devised as a form of employee ownership of a company, to encourage active employee interest in a companies performance. When used this way, it is a good tool.

Does that mean it'll come in out of the rain? There could be good demand for this. A lot of people need a computer to tell them that water is wet and can be cold.
This has been a long time coming. I wonder if they are still touting tiere two-in-a-box management philisophy, where you have two people managing a group instead of one. They have more project leeches there than real leeches in a swamp.
Sounds like a good idea. It could become a serious competitor to Yahoo if it drops its dial up. They have the parts and large customer base, but the execution sucks. This would allow TimeWarner to become the behemoth that everyone was scared of whenthe merger occurred. They can bypass many of the SEC merger restrictions by not offering ISP services at all.
I think they should sell it off or spin out the dial up, rather than shutting it down. LAst thing they need to do is alienate the customers they have left. It's still profitable, and makes lots of money.

So what are they going to call "GIMP"? It has a logo too? So do many other OSS projects. There's also one with a penguin, but I can't recall the name.
Credit card companies aren't too keen on doing business with people who have a gambling problem. They have a strong tendancy to not pay thier debts...
I know some credit card companies are in favor of this kind of legislation because online gambling is a large source of fraud claims.

They hit Mars. It's just that they were going 100,000 miles an hour at the time.
I read that the Rover just explored the newly created and aptly named "Beagle Crater"

No, but the SW company is and that is who I'd hold responsible.
If that happened to me, I'd report my car stolen.
