I had this very issue coming out of school as a systems administrator type, every job wanted 2 years experience for entry level, and of course, all the work I did on my own, or fixing other's computers doesn't count. I ended up getting the same break as you in help-desk, and a year later I was working in the IT department of the company. It is sad that companies don't understand that two years experience =/= entry level.
So, what alternative energy do you propose instead of fission reactors? I would much prefer more research was done towards fission reactors which use different fission elements, but I am not a power company and can't force the issue, but trying to claim that there are alternative sources for base load power that are better than nuclear fission is unfortunately a pipe dream at this time. Iceland has great geothermal power, but where else is that even possible? I understand that Yellowstone in the US could do it, but because it is a federal park prevents that happening. If you have better options for power generation that will supply base load power, I would love to hear them, but I'll bet that with 11 of 17 reactors currently offline in Germany, there has been quite a lot of coal or natural gas being burned to balance the power, or that the power is coming from other countries around you where they burn hydrocarbons or nuclear fission reactors.
Personally, when I make a mistake, I would hope someone would correct me. If you are never corrected, you will never learn the correct usage. Hopefully I just learned you something new. I was not trying to be a jerk, just trying to let him know, as I am pretty sure he is not a native English speaker.
The helicopter used some of the technology from the iPad, Apple will just threaten to take production from China if they don't give them back their helicopter. What, you thought steve drove to work? This is how he gets to work.../joke
Wow, I never would have guessed that bomb wouldn't fit into one of the biggest bombers the US has ever built...you actually have to drop it out of a cargo plane...just wow...
Well, than maybe we should just bring home our toys and not help out the Libyans, maybe renew the old isolationist policy and let the rest of you kill yourselves off. When the shit started hitting the fan in the middle east recently, all I heard on TV was people asking why the US wasn't helping out, and it is exactly attitudes like yours as to why we didn't help out right away, it took a couple weeks, and then I heard on the TV about how (many times the very same people as earlier) felt that Obama went too far in trying to help the Libyans dispose their dictator. We can't win, we stay out of it, you bitch, we help out you bitch. I say we just take out ball and go home, and screw you...
How will a nuclear power station "blow up" when it is passively safe? When the power goes out on modern reactors, the reactor automatically scrams, shutting itself down. How would it blow up when the fission is at such a low level that it could be cooled by air?
The right hand side looks like USB device plug, and the left hand side I guess is the HDMI. I would rather they reversed the sex of both of those, I would rather a HDMI socket to plug into the TV, and a USB socket for plugging in a USB hub.
What bothered me most about the video was that it is an advertisement for a video game, but proceeding the advertising video, there is a freaking advertisement for the Marines...WTF, I want to see one advertisement, but have to sit through another one to watch it?
Try modifying your statement a tad there and it becomes true. Modern nuclear power is very safe. 40 year old reactors that lose power and were never designed to be passive safe, with no way to bring in new power (roads destroyed, power needs bigger than any helicopter could bring in, and more than a nuclear reactor on a aircraft carrier that refuses to come close enough to help), and no way to bring in fire trucks with self powered water pumps. Yeah, they had a worse case senario. The senario was far worse than anyone had imagined possible in that area.
So, since you are so anti nuclear, what power would you prefer for base load power? Coal? Natural Gas? Oil? Fusion (Doesn't exist)? Geothermal (only works in certain areas...which isn't very many)?
What I have read about this is that the generators needed to run the cooling of the plant are so large that a heli can't lift it; therefore with the roads destroyed, there was no way to move the generators on site.
As far as I have heard on the issue you mention is that these reactors did have the hydrogen handling equipment to recombine it into water safely, unfortunately, with no power they were not able to run the equipment, and by the time power was restored, the equipment had already been trashed but the earthquake/tsunami/explosions.
If you are redistributing, or creating a derivative work (then distributing it), you are not the end user, you are a distributer. The person who runs the software is the end user.
You have a problem with him getting the only certification that matters to companies for a SA?
If he got it 10 years ago, it was most likely the NT cert, which was a very good program and required many things I use daily. Do you know how to subnet and supernet a network? You need to know to get the MCP in TCP/IP that is required to earn your MCSE.
Than raise the gas tax. This tax is aimed at nailing EVs for not using fuel, and Hybrids for using too little fuel, when the real damage is done by the larger trucks.

Screwing up the tags when you are trying to correct someone else is just hilarious, keep up the good work.

Yeah, but it is even worse when it is a 3.5" hard disk.
We can even name them manhacks and have them deployed from a soldier's belt.
I would say woosh, but I think you caught the joke and were playing on it.

The word you are looking for is LEND, not BORROW. We borrowed money from China, they are lending us money.

The visualisation I find most enlightening isn't this one

Compared to the GDP yearly of the US, our defense budget is just 4%, that isn't very much. Another enlightening set of graphs are

When put in this context, our defense budget isn't so bad.

I'm just thinking mainly about the HDMI, it would be cool if you could plug it in behind your TV and use a wireless mouse and keyboard.

From the pictures, it is a USB device port (literally what is on a flash drive) I wonder if they include the cable to turn it into a USB device port.

Thank you, now I need a new keyboard...
Didn't you know, pirated software is full of malware, this causes a security risk and must be stopped /sarcasm
