My last experence with VS 2005 was very poor. The IDE itself may be ok, but the real problem lies with the C++ compiler.
On a project roughly the same size as yours. Moving from VS 2003 to VS 2005 generated 400+ compiler errors and thousands of warnings. This is up from 0 errors and 0 warnings with VS 2003 and g++.
The problem is one of lockin. MS depricated ALL of the C standard library. Every strlen() is now a compile error. Best of all the only documented way to enable the old functionality (some obscure #pragma) was broken.
As someone who went to school (k-12) in one of the mentioned school districts, I find it very interesting that they would signup with RedHat. All (~20) of the computers that were student accessable were Macs.
Does this mean that RedHat will start supporting Apple hardware?
A method of protecting Intellectual Property where the applicant requesting protection of their Intellectual Property agrees at the time of application that they are no longer the owner of the property in question.
All of the Intellectual Property and a large sum of money are to be immediately surrender at the time of application to ME!
Turn it backwards! Really, how often do you use the front of your computer? What is there to use on the front? A cdrom? A floppy? How often do you use those? Its been years since ive use mine, they just collect dust, so much id be afraid to use them.
Ok so you do use the cdrom/floppy. How about sideways? Not as unattractive. You can reach both front and back. And save some room and the desk too.
People in science are often looking for help of any kind - under funded, over worked. Possibly in need of good software. Find something that you are interested in mabey in your area.
For example I used to live near a startup astronimical research institute. It's for proffit, but its useful and interesting.
There are two types of people to consider. Those who are capable of doing a good job (certifications or not) and 'social prostitutes' who will do or say whatever it takes to get the job.
Unfortunately the second group gets control (sucking up) and everone else suffers. The incompetent ones get to be managers then they make unreasonable demands (asking for people with 10 years of java or 15 years of perl experience) then they cry shortage amd hire their friends while the others now out of a job cant find work.
There are exceptions but for all that I have seen its not what you know but who you know.
