For what I've seen, it is harder to get founded for an MS than for a PhD. Undergrad and MS are cash-cow's for many schools. They likely want your money. PhD's bring something different, so usually are given RA's or TA's.
If you are interested in research, you should go for a PhD with the right adviser - that is what will open the doors for you, the people you network with, even more than the degree.
You are completely missing the point. Companies are not being honest, that is the problem. With your self-sufficient attitude, you may as well go to the place walking. But your approach is selfish. Maybe one day your grandma or your pregnant wife would not be able to handle her luggage by themselves, or will need to eat something at the plane, and they will be taken advantage of. Of, course, you will not have a problem with that, would you, big guy?
You sound like an angry person, having a power trip with a guy who needs a job to make a living. I am sorry if your 'professional' experience involves people doing that to you. I bet you have 'motivational' posters in your office as well.
As many others here, I will just walk out of a job interview if yelled at. Yours is yours is just misplaced anger.
Grow up.
I've thought for some years that a fair voting system should not only allow one to vote for a candidate, but also to vote against him/her.
Maybe it is just me, but I think that there are people I do not want to represent me, but since others have voted them, I have a little say, other than voted someone else who I may not like but have some chance to beat the guy I do not like/trust.
Perhaps being able to vote for or against every candidate in an election will express in a more clearly way the will of the people.
RTFA. It is a journal, not a science magazine. From the first paragraph, "Children with autism have a different chemical fingerprint in their urine than non-autistic children, according to new research published tomorrow in the print edition of the Journal of Proteome Research."
The whole thing about having books is to have knowledge that is self-contained to a degree. If I want richer content, I search the web for it. Plus, a book stays in your shelf, but who knows how long the publisher will keep content around? it looks like an scheme for milking readers...
It does not matter if it is legal or not. It just does not make any sense that one party can unilaterally modify an agreement.
How can you consent in advance without knowing what they are going to change in the future?
How would that hold in front of any judge?
This is plain wrong.
Well, maybe if the idealistic fools are on the board of large corporations, that would change. You cannot run a company based solely on how much profit every decision gets you, as it leads to social and environmental unbalances.
That most companies are run like that does not make it right.
From www.bgp4.as : The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol used to exchange routing information across the Internet. It makes it possible for ISPs to connect to each other and for end-users to connect to more than one ISP. BGP is the only protocol that is designed to deal with a network of the Internet's size, and the only protocol that can deal well with having multiple connections to unrelated routing domains.
For a children it is about living in fear, not about politics. You do not understand this because you have always lived in a protected society, and your parents were never in fear for their lives, so they raised you accordingly. It is hard to relate unless you have lived through something similar.
I grew up under a military dictatorship when a kid, and I still remember my parents explaining what a curfew was to me when I was 3 or 4 years old, and me not been able to sleep at night because hearing shooting, bombs going out, and people yelling on the street. To this day, I am afraid of the police and to publicly express my political opinions. I even though 10 times before posting this under my name and not as AC.
Sergei's experience may not have been as bad, but a 5 year old understands fear and censorship, and believe me, once you've been there, you deal with it all your life. Good for him for standing up.
That is a good idea. Still, a lot of phones will be in pockets, hands, etc.. and my guess is that human bodies will make pretty good damping mechanisms. I wonder if that will work...
that 95% of spam and bogus content is generated by a small fraction of the people that uses internet. Not everybody is a spammer, and not everybody forwards every chain email they receive. Fot instance, 95% of the spam in my inbox comes from Russian/Chinese addresses. I do not think a large percentage of the Russian or Chinese population are engaged in spamming. The other 5% comes from family and friends forwarding things. It is mostly content that recirculates, as usually none of it is generated by the sender. So while 95% of what is there may be bogus, my guess is that a small percentage of the people who uses internet generates that.
I agree. Visual Studio is by far the best out there, and it is painful not to have something comparable available in other platforms (I currently use OSX/Linux). I've been steadily moving away from proprietary tools and frameworks for the last 3 or 4 years, and it is a painful process.
Eclipse is mostly good (excellent for Java), but when developing in C++, its debugger is not great. Same goes for Netbeans. They are 90% there, but the remaining 10% is so frustrating that makes large projects a pain.
I am considered moving to Codelite instead, which feels to me a bit more like Visual Studio 6, and has much better debugger support for C++. On the down side, Codelite tends to be quirky on OSX.

If you are so convinced your point of view is correct, why do you post AC?

While I can see where you come from, this is still deception and should not be rewarded. Neither should the greed of the 'investors'.
Very nice article. Would give you modpoints if I've had any today.
