My boss has this thing consisting of a cube, a sphere and a pyramid. The pyramid sits on the sphere that sits on the cube. If you see his desk that he has all of the objects stacked, then he is in his normal work mode. If the pyramid is removed and there is just the cube and the sphere, then he is busy and you can talk to him if it is important. If it is just the cube, then watch out, if you talk to him, he will castrate you! Personally, I think that it is a good system.
That is a bad argument. Most reasonable people want auto insurance. Mandating it drives the prices up for everyone, and the deadbeat no goods who drive with no insurance still have no insurance.
The fact that the regulation has driven up prices is an example of how the government is pro-business. They should regulate the insurance companies, sort of like they regulate the utility companies. But, they are looking out for the reasonable people by forcing the unreasonable people to carry insurance. People that do not have it should be fined/punished, like other criminals.
Don't even get me started on the government mandated extortion that is mandatory auto insurance.;)
When someone hits your car that doesn't have auto insurance, you are not going to think that it is a stupid law anymore. It is the insurance companies that really are screwing you by their prices. By the way, in some states, if you can prove that you have access to a certain amount of money, then you do not require auto insurance.
The reason that people do not call Microsoft or even know about sometimes is because (from what I read) it is very expensive to get help from Microsoft. They do have a pretty good knowledge base, if you know how to search it, but other than that, it is not practical to call them for support.
My biggest beef with OS X was that the X-Window systems was not installed by default. They keep saying that it is the newest UNIX without a lot of the UNIX tools. Don't get me wrong, OS X is a great OS, but don't call it a *great* UNIX unless I can download programs that use the standard XWindow libraries and compile them.
I prefer unix mail. It is quick and to the point. Since it only reads text files, there are not too many viruses that can spread! I can fly through my email ten times faster than someone using outlook. I tried telling my boss that when software becomes bloated, it just slows the user down. I just need a browser and a unix shell and I am good to go!
The CS Department at my school has a 24 hour access rule, meaning that when a good game of bzflag starts, nobody has to leave. These games start very randomly. If a bunch of people are sitting around the lab working on stuff, all there needs for a game is for one person to *cough* and say "bz." The next thing you know, there are 5 to 10 people signed in, with the first person starting the server. It is an amazing phenomenon.
As far as flags go, here are the best flags:
Guided Missle - This flag is the best flag for longevity. Right click and then fire, you just killed someone.
Laser flag - instant death from across the board.
Stealth - When you are not on someone's radar, they get really pissed.
Cloaking - It is hard for them to shoot at what they can't see.
Narrow - You become two dimensional in a 3D world.
Shock Wave - Everyone within a certain radius of you becomes no more!
There may be more flags, but those are the best on the version that we play with.
In Buffalo there is a radar station that still uses a UNIVAC. They just switched from vacuum tubes a few years ago. This gives new meaning to the phrase, "if it isn't broke, don't fix it."

In my first computer science course, I was taught that computer science was the study of algorithms.
Cash is the only way out of the DB at these places. Personally, I try to shop at places that don't do that to their customers and (almost) always use cash at the others.
The thing is that they get you with the jacked-up prices. Sure you can use cash, but then you have to pay an arm and a leg for your item. The card give a shopper the power to buy things for their correct cost. The stores don't really tell you this, they advertise this as an amazing card that brings tons of savings. It just tells you how the uninformed customer is really in trouble.
The thing that gets me is that since I don't know everything about the world, there is probably something going on out there that is screwing me over in the same fashion. But now I am getting into a lot of conspiracy theory, which I am not sure about.
One thing keeps me in a good mood about the whole thing is George Bush's intelligence. How is the government going to come up with such schemes when our president's favorite actor is Chuck Norris.
Grocery stores are doing this now too. They have these "savings cards" that they give to you, if you fill out a form that asks for all kinds of information. They mark up the prices on everything, for example, a 2 liter of coke or pepsi is $3.00, but with the "shoppers card" you can buy it for $1.00, which is the original price. Meanwhile, when you swipe your card at the checkout, they track your purchasing habits. So if the feds want to know who is buying large amounts of cheez whiz they know where to go...
That's why I used an alias for mine, I can get the "normal" prices and the gov doesn't have to know about my M&M addiction.
What you are thinking of is called javadoc. There are some tags used with html that create documentation. The downside is that if they are not java, I am not sure if other languages have such a feature.
I'm sorry, but the skills needed to troubleshoot an office installation don't translate into those needed in designing an enterprise directory structure.
There is more to this statement. The reason that Microsoft is an amazing marketing company is because they do not sell their ideas to the people that are going to be implementing it. They market to the business people of the world that tell people like the/. audience what to do. Here is an example: Microsoft Exchange. Exchange is the worst program in the world! But why do companies run it? (Because my boss when to a microsoft presentation and told me to install it!!!) Anyways, to get back to the point. They market their products to managers by letting them think that every program is as easy to install as Office, which pretty much any idiot can do. So when my boss hears about Exchange, he assumes it is configurable just as Office and hence Exchange is used.
What they are not telling you is that three days ago they sent up the worlds best oil drillers and a nuclear warhead, but due to copyrighted story, they were not able to release that to the press.
The term computer programmer is not equal to that of Software engineer. The software engineering process is very long and annoying. Computer programming is only a slight part of that process. A real software engineer has to go through the same things as a "real" engineer. They have customers that want to do X. They develop a way for X to happen and then they have people implement their solution. Just as a civil engineer doesn't actually build the bridge, just designs it.
It is sad when many companies give job titles to their programmers as Software Engineers. Anyone with a CS degree has gone through at least one software engineering course and understands that software engineering has very little to do with actual computer programming.
Well you may know your stuff, but the answer is that it depends. Does the company have a big IT staff or a small staff? If the IT department is huge, then sure, why not. There will be people to work with and to replace you if your teenage ways overcome you, i.e. if you f#ck up, then the company doesn't have to pay for it. However if the company is small, then it would be a problem. As a 16 year old, having a "real" job is stressful and may be too much for you to handle. The tech part is fun, but the rest of the stuff that goes along with a job may end up killing the company if you decided to walk.
i don't know if this will do anything but help the other Linux distros. Mandrake has released a version for the powerpc which worked ok, but not great. (I am basing this off of my experiences with a PowerBook G3 firewire laptop)
The beauty of open source is that any modifacations out there will be available for all of the companies, if they follow the licensing rules.

Check out RIT's new program. Video games are more than just a hobby today.
The other day, the NY Times had an article about how Microsoft wanted to help out Mexico get online. I wonder if this had anything to do with it.
