Err, you already said it. CNET(Download.com) and Tucows have existed as central marketplaces for what? 2 decades? And the reason those places still exist is because they vet the software enough for the free market, as it were, to determine that they were a valid central repository for software. The only thing Apple changed was making it their marketplace the only place to get signed applications for their operating system.
Yep. At 200-300$, it's an attractive buy, but at 500-600, it is not. Just like the HP TouchPad that sold like shiat at the same pricepoints, but sold like gangbusters at $100
Well, they also create monopolies. Creative Labs litigated Aureal out of business with bogus patent lawsuits that Aureal won, but the legal cost was too much and Creative effectively killed the competition because they could afford to do it. Didn't even have to worry about antitrust concerns when they bought the assets, since they were already out of business
Yep, Java. Always java jobs around, and the years of experience with other languages will help since there are many seasoned programmers doing the same in the java world
Middle School(early 90s): All sorts of stuff with Apple IIes and Power PCs. School bought an Apple QuickTake when it came out, so we did digital graphics design and digital photography
High School(late 90s): Networking, C++, PC and Mac troubleshooting... took every opportunity to learn about computers, and was granted many of them
Do you remember what happened in Korea, World War 2, and(IIRC) Vietnam when those scenarios occurred? It didn't end well for the people in prop planes. The Me262 was ridiculously good in the air despite some very serious deficiencies(it was the first production fighter jet afterall), and most of the losses occurred during the very long takeoff and landing patterns, something that is not a problem on modern jets.
What drone provides the capabilities of an A-10 or AH-64? What about drones that provide the capabilities of a F-22? What about drones that provide the capabilities of a P-47? Drones serve a purpose, but as of right now drones are very light aircraft carrying very small payloads. They're very useful for certain aspects of asymmetric warfare from a combat perspective, but they have a long ways to go in replacing manned aircraft simply because of what current-day manned aircraft can do that a drone cannot, and will have trouble doing(the latency alone from using satellites to drive the drones is enough to make them unfit for many combat roles today regardless of hardware).
I doubt it. I think you're looking more at what we saw in Stealth. Unmanned fullsized fighter jets with advanced AI with the potential to house a man if desired. Unmanned drones aren't going to dogfight, and there still is a ton of need for more than an unmanned drone can provide, particularly since there are still uses for close combat air support vehicles like helicopters, A-10s, etc.
You tell them that Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft all use it in some form, and that it's necessary for any form of development. They go "Wow, I didn't know! Where do I sign?"
To be clearer, since what I just said makes no sense, this would be a strawman if anything. And to my original post, he's right, even though it still may be a fallacy.
My experience with a small company(extremely successful 20 year old software company) that was gobbled up by a huge multinational(but still essentially it's own division) is that it varies, though mostly leans towards your conclusion. The multinational requires education credentials and inflated experience requirements on the job postings, but after striking out numerous times we just tell the recruiters who to call after we get referrals or troll the local market ourselves. As it stands right now, every developer hired has a strong portfolio, education level be damned. This isn't the case in our support group, where management follows the new corporate standards and get these certified and/or educated people that don't know their ass from a hole in the wall when it comes to supporting industry standard/common software and learning/supporting the proprietary software developed by the company I work for.
Realistically, someone who is motivated and intelligent will have their own personal portfolio to back them up. Those that aren't just go to school and expect profit. I know it, you know it, recruiters don't want to believe it because they spent $50k to get their degree and want the people they recruit to go through the same.
Yes, but I would hope that the plan is to use Moon materials to produce as much as possible. Hell, you could even just grab all that dead shit floating around in orbit to do something. At that point, it's like a used car. Manufacturing and most of the delivery cost doesn't even matter.
Open networks are just that. If your intent is to keep your transmissions private, you should be using something better than an open network. Intent may be applicable in a pre-trial hearing on the validity of not having a warrant, but requiring insight in to the intent of an open wifi is highly unlikely at the warrant stage without some pretty strong inside information already.
So you're a hypocrite? You don't want to manage a shitload of specialized devices, yet you have an SLR, a ham radio, a computer, and iPad, and probably a phone and other things. You could just have an iPad and do all of those things, then you would truly be not managing a shitload of devices, but, as it stands based on the information provided, you already are managing a shitload of specialized devices, so why not one more?
I mean, Apple invented near slave labor conditions in China to build iProducts. Pretty sure Apple should take them to court for infringing on the "method of using Chinese for slave labor to build electronic devices while also increasing the suicide rate" patent

You can also just go to /recent and post on articles not yet posted?

Take it in Summer session, online. ~5-8 weeks depending on the school. Easy peasy.
15? Nah. 10? Yes. Ribbons were a declaration of war.
I wonder if this Baxter will survive being dropkicked into the river by Jack Black

A statement of fact is not an ad hominem.
The Resisty? I mean, they had interesting technology, but the Irkens totally outclassed them.

Because you have an expectation of privacy

We've had these forever. It's called a BBS. Current implementations include PHPBB and VBulletin
So you're telling me Apple didn't invent the MP3 player or the smartphone?
