Technological fields generally degrade when the mainstream accepts more and more tech. The excitement and the value of the job depletes quickly. I love technology for the contact with the mathematics and the sciences, I have been lucky enough to work with people involved in other scientific endeavors that have let IT be rewarding for me. Alas the last 3 years I have been disillusioned with my job opportunities and my current position. So I decided to get my masters and teach. I want to do math from now until I croak. But that it is me. I don't think the disillusionment will go away anytime soon especially with the economic changes coming about.
Not in the current climate there is tonnes of degrees and experience in many levels of the market, you need both now, especially for the jobs that a Computer Science degree requires versus a Computer Technology degree.
I have seen what could have been, that was not realized because of the current monopoly. I liked BeOS, more than Linux, more than Apple. I though OS/2 was better than Windows but was not a fan of IBM at the time. I liked WordPerfect more than Office. In fact for each set of software Microsoft has, the alternative that was destroyed I liked before it died a horrible death due to a monopoly tie in. All because Bill Gates was able to sell DOS to IBM, before he actually bought the program from the developer. But good placement, good timing and there are wonderful things Microsoft has done for computing, but their defense of their market monopoly has destroyed some beautiful what could have beens.
The dump of large quanities of fresh water into the oceam will affect local saline levels. This will affect current movements and slow down or change the Gulf Stream, which will let the artic spread further south in Europe, starting a freezing that will try to tie up fresh water into the system again. A balancing act in extreme. The quantites of glacier ice globlly that are being shed is staggering and we should have some fun viewing in our lifetimes. Some of the theories on globabl climate with/without organic interferance should be more clearly noticeable.
I really want to know what is the information processing capabilities of these systems. We saw with congestion charging in London a system could read license plate numbers and relay that with a db. Great but now track movements of cars across more points when does the system hit information overload?????
Compare functions looking for library routines that need to be created. Look for common code structures that are not in libraries to create more libraries.
I agree with everything except publishing personal contactable information.
And I don't think there was a DoS, I think it was the slashdot effect.
Some logs would say otherwise.
Too many times have controversial issues in computing brought charges of DoS's while in reality it was just curiousity and inadequate ability to deal with the server load.
It is debatable on the experiment and its controls. But people independent of Milgram hhave verified it. And others have disputed it. It is still taught in psychology, along with Zimbardo which used Prisoners and Prison Guards to study authority and others. I would have to get my wife to post as she has the degree in psychology I just have an armchair interest in the field.
That is the funny part there was no DoS. There was the slashdot effect. And what is so Ironic is some people have theorised they used the MOG articles to generate page hits because the controversy attracted hits. They just attracted more hits than they could handle with that article. And they are too clueless to realise this.
No they have had internal battle for 6 months on the nature of MOG articles, they asked with the publishing of that article for MOG to be pulled and the offices of SYS-CON pubicly distance themselves from MOG. The first part was done but the recent interview showed the Officers saw nothing wrong with the article, so the editors left.
So you wording is wrong and disregards the lesser actions taken before drastic action was threatened and then acted upon. There was dialogue and the dialogue was mostly ignored.
Yes that is why an action that rises above our nature and goes for the high ground need rewarded by society or there never be an incentive to be more than sheep, when it comes to morals and ethics.
Well I know the advertisers understand the issue better than he does as at lesat when the accused me of spam and I said no it is a letter writing campaign. The few I had a dialogue with got what was going on. So they are understanding the situation. So if the advertisers are having dialogues with us supposed attackers he has a real problem, and he did the wrong thing in addressing it.
No SCO got it from the caller ID when PJ called in for the conference call and identified herself. By being honest she was set up.
Above is my theory but if that is the case, SCO is in preach of some major telephone privacy laws unless they have a good disclaimer on the conference calls.
I agree in general but the investment in these students would have returns especially if the degree had terms of contractual work with oh say the Navy for a set time afterwords.
I mean not to be afraid to die and fight for ourselves while keeping our rights and liberties.
Something called courage, recognising the danger and standing up to it. Not letting it change our ideals out of fear is one part of it but the other part is to act to stop it.
You say fight fire with fire some would argue that is what the defined terrorist groups have been doing. Fighting our clandestine involvement in their local affairs with said violence on our shores.
The best way to win this war is to give the terrorists something else to occupy their time. But I answer that in another post.
I just want to see Americans have some good old fashion courage again not this pansy yellow bs where we cave in on ourselves destroy our ideals and let the government get on with protecting us.
If we are at war why is our armed forces having recruiting troubles. Something is wrong if Americans don't have the courage to fight for their country, and it usually is the government has something wrong either in their propoganda or approach to policy. We can win this war but to do it will not be through laws and controls on people but through actually attacking the terrorists and not our ex allies in the region.
We will be hurt again we will be hurt from now until the end of time. And it is how we respond to the hurt that defines the war. The question is what is America is it a collection of people or is it the ideals on which that society is founded on? I like both but without the ideals that society would fall apart.
We have large problems in the world from our policies. We would stop more terrorism by not supporting terrorists or terrorist regimes. Our support of Iraq and Bin Laden in the past is from our history of Real Politic. And it causes problems that we are now facing. The solution is not in internal review of the law of America but a review of our external policies.
The change is slow as was the effects of our past policies, but we live in a democracy our political memory is short, the terrorists who have attacked us live in regimes where the political memory is longer. We are suffering for our past mistakes, to minimise the future problems we need to work with cause and affect here.
I am currently living outside of the states with the job I am on. And I am seeing just how amazing our freedoms are. How precious they are, and how they are worth fighting for. Give me liberty or give me death was a call to arms, by Patrick Henry and I quote it again here because we are being called to arms but losing liberty in the process. I believe we should be called to arms and fight the threat to our culture and society. I believe we can win the war on terrorism. But if we damage our culture in the process will it be truly be a win.
My personal opinion is economically our currency is used by most of the world and we are economically in control of most of the legal processes. We should start adding states to the map and just officially run the whole place. But that is my silly opinion on the matter.

You found the solution. Wait a minute I see some of that cruft on my car too.

Why would you need newer hardware for an atm?
Pick them all. If they all don't stick probably at least one will.
Be careful that request doesn't have you drinking out of the ash tray.

More libraries.
That would be very true if any of that information made it into the article in question.
Instead the reporter in question couldn't find anything or did not find what they wanted and just posted a Pamela Jones's mothers address.
Big difference from what you are saying.
I agree with everything except publishing personal contactable information.

Clueless IT rags just need to fade away.

It is nice to see some honesty and morals in the mess that journalism has become.
It is sad that it took this mess for it to be shown.
I wonder if slashdot might be hiring or its parent company might have a home for these people. Even if it is just for PR purposes.

Caller ID on the conference calls perhaps?
s/preach/breach/
No SCO got it from the caller ID when PJ called in for the conference call and identified herself. By being honest she was set up.
Above is my theory but if that is the case, SCO is in preach of some major telephone privacy laws unless they have a good disclaimer on the conference calls.
I think that statement is up for clarification in the Novell lawsuit.
I agree in general but the investment in these students would have returns especially if the degree had terms of contractual work with oh say the Navy for a set time afterwords.
Who said lay down and die.
I mean not to be afraid to die and fight for ourselves while keeping our rights and liberties.
