My girl friend is Asian and she agrees that North America has an education system that is about as "good" as toilet paper. By the time my girl friend was in grade 3 she was doing grade 8 level north american math. She was only allowed to eat dinner when all her homework was done and she had HOURS of homework a night. She didn't get a lot of time off school and if her marks weren't in the high 80's and 90's she got punished. When she came to Canada in grade 4 she was shocked. She told me that until grade 10 she wasn't even challenged and frankly that even high school was easier then her grade 3. So don't be surprised.
I put an ad on craigslist or Kijiji and just wait. I've had emails that literally say "I haven't gone to college or university but I know how code in these 10 languages and I've written these projects", the reply is usually, "Awesome! come on in for an interview". Sometimes I use job boards and frequently word of mouth, employee X knows Y who knows Z, well lets get Z in here and see how I like there work.
This after Oracle came out explaining how Open Source is not only dangerous but a cancer to development. I'm so glad Oracle has shown with out a shadow of a doubt that Open Source software leads to broken systems, I would hate to not know this, good work Oracle, from now on I'll always pick the closed source guys...
That is a hilarious episode! However it does bring up a good point, grades and marks are toilet paper in general. I've seen programmers who are on the honour roll, who have great theoretical code, follow all "best" practices and at the end of the day suck at programming. I've had to throw out code at the end of the day because it wasn't unusable. I had one guy to come to me with no post secondary schooling and simply asked for a job, I asked him to sit down for a day and write code! At the end of the day his code was awesome, better then the post secondary guys. I have 1/3 of my staff with out a college / university education that are wicked programmers and that frankly out program the college / university guys.
I actually think the best talent comes from the programmers who don't advertise themselves. The coders coming out of university / college generally can't program very well at all, well you do find a diamond in the rough it's not common. I'd rather interview a programmer who doesn't have a flashy resume and doesn't try to show off his coding ability because it's often the case that these kind of programmers are the best to have around.
If the EULA mentions minning of any kind and you accept it without reading it then you can't complain. The reason you have the EULA presented to you is because you're meant to read it.
You have to be joking! This woman couldn't get on a plane because he had been hospitalized and treated? What's next, if you have ever had a medical treatment or doctor visit you can't travel? It seems everyday when I ready slashdot or watch ABC news I just lose the very little remaining respect I have for the US.
Sure they usually ask for some pretty pin pointed skills but as long as you can describe / explain why for instance, working with an HP 5400zl series, is the same as working with the, Cisco 5000 series ( just an example ), you're generally okay. Just be able to say well I don't know X but I know Y and Z and they are like X so I could quickly learn and adapt. That is more so what they want to hear then I know X and only X. I've applied to several jobs where they have the requirement of X but I like to point i know all these other skill that really are the same or very similar and it 99% of the time works.
I have educated myself, in fact I have a large wealth of knowledge about many art styles and art cultures, I didn't just invent my opinion based off ignorance, I studied art in school as a series of elective studies before coming to the conclusion I have. I've personally justified my reasoning.
I'm not going to sell art, I hate art, if it's not realism it's worthless. Random paint on a surface that doesn't look like anything or doesn't have a meaning or is just a simple shape does not constitute value in my books. I can paint my own line and not spend 44 million doing it.
Art is mostly a joke, in what other "field" can a single white vertical line sell for 44 Million? What about the two circles that sold for 10 Million? What about the paintings that are paint just thrown onto canvas? I can keep going but I don't think I need to. Art will not help with test scores, it won't help with knowledge and it won't help you in your life unless your the one selling these pieces of junk. With the exception of realism, art is just random crap on a medium. Once a line or a circle gets defined as art then the entire definition of art has to fall apart. I can't just put a hub on my desk, not plug it in and call my self a networking expert. I can't just open a terminal and let it sit there and call my self a linux expert. Basically art is the only field where nothing is still defined at greatness.
Clearly for what ever reason the software fixes aren't working and in eithe case someting like a charge circuit should be hardware controlled not software. Software should only even assist hardware and never over rule it. In this case it's mostly likely a bad hardware design which they're trying to use software to cover up, I suggest designing the hardware correctly and going from there.
This sounds like an ideal case to roll out a hardware based fix. If several software fixes have been applied and the problem remains then it's time to go deeper and design a hardware module to physically over come this problem.
It keeps saying "World Leader", last time I checked really crappy software, 1/2 ass designed hardware and never meeting deadlines doesn't make you a world force.....Of course Microsoft would laugh and say I'm wrong.
Why not just use MySQL, MongoDB or MariaDB? At least use a database system that has good support, an easy learning curve and loads of followers. That beings said, proper testing would easily of mitigated this entire issue.
What we really need is something that will make flights more annoying, more loud, more horrible to sit through. Just turn the phone off, you don't need to be one it and just relax until you get to your destination.
Why not do this for all certifications, CCNA, CCNP, Linux+, A+ etc... Just for Microsoft certifications really is showing a large bias towards other systems.
They are public employees and the public has every right to know where they are and what they are doing well at work. The public is effectively there boss / manager, at any company your boss / manager would want to know where you are so I don't see what the issue, I say just do it and if they don't like it they can quit.
Exactly so what about trying to spin a design and get it kickstarted and released. You can have a normal calculator like a started little casio with a CAS built in, hidden programming block and etc.... I think it would be cool to attempt./
I would just argue who ever is proctoring the test, let them see your calculator, let them clear it's memory and then let you use your calculator. On an interesting side note I wonder if it would be possible to make a normal "small" form factor calculator with a programming feature but that looks completely Innocent.

Actually it would of turned out better, it's so far been the biggest failure in website history.

LOL! Well we could make a language that uses fractions. So if your array had 10 index's the first would be Array[1/10]

When possible stay off the client side code.
