The guy isn't looking for a job... he can't graduate without an internship. Where I went, you could claim credit for an internship, but it wasn't a graduation requirement.
Certainly if they're going to require you to find such a difficult to find position for graduation, they should provide you with placement or waive the requirement. This is a world appart from visiting your campus career center. The guy isn't trying to get a job, he's trying to get his diploma.
You join their service, and call their phone number, which is in-network for your phone. They use voip to route it to whatever phone network they need and make an outgoing in-network phone call on that network.
The twist is not that this is VOIP.
Essentially, the "twist" is that you are "in-network" on 2 networks, through them. Kind of abusing the whole "in-network" model, though my understanding is that some land-carriers have done similar things before.
The whole bit in the US about going to Canada to purchase meds is because Canadian law allows Canadian companies to produce generic medications using formulas covered by patents in the US.
Uninhibitted by royalties, the companies are able to produce drugs without the overhead of having to pay for all of that pesky R&D that no self-respecting drug company should have to pay for.
Go for it bud. Some people mind. In some places, I might mind. However, I'm one of those guys who tries to improve his vocabulary by listening to CDs. I have Verbal Advantage: Complete Edition, Word Smart, Word Smart II, Word Smart: Genious Edition and Grammar Smart.
On business trips and on my daily commute I listen. I used to be pretty religious about it, but I need to fix my car's CD player, so, less so now (playing with an older model FM broadcaster every morning gets old, especially in my area, where ALL of the channels on mine are taken).

Dude, we're not talking impossible here. I'm typing this from a Linux notebook, and I own only the Microsoft products that came with my equipment.
The point of my argument was that it's absolutely annoying to no end to hear people claim that just because a piece of software is open source, it can't be that software's fault. Certainly at some point in ones life, they have to accept the things that they like as "good" without needing to consider it "flawless."
I am an open source advocate, but I feel that making laughable claims in support of open source software is no way to promote it. How about, before we go pointing fingers, we take a quick look at the problem, and then prove that it's Microsoft's fault.
If open source software were naturally bug-free, nobody would be running software to track those bugs. If everyone in open source were a developer, there would be many more developers here.
If everyone on/. really believed that strongly in the movement, then they would do what I do and run it on their home equipment, and we wouldn't be worried about Windows bugs affecting open source products.
1) Why is your faith in open source so great that you are unwilling to humor the idea that there is a bug in the application? I am a professional software developer, and most of us LAUGH at the idea of "bug free" applications. It is considered, in some circles, so laughable, that one is considered a bit of a neonate to tout that their software is bug-free [that, or not connected to reality (at least, with respect to the technology)]. The first time I ran Linux (late 90's) I had plenty of core dumps.
2) Are you proposing that Microsoft has a "black ops" department, whose sole purpose is to cause Windows to behave incorrectly when 3rd party software is run? Additionally, this department is exceptionally good at keeping a secret. So good, in fact, that the only way to detect their work is by running open source (patently bug-free) software on their OS, to uncover these flaws? Given that open source software is bug-free, wouldn't such a department fear discovery when performing such an act?
I'm not saying that there aren't reasons to dislike Microsoft, but goodness, this is/. not Coast to Coast AM.
I'll tell you the single source of all of your Microsoft woes... the market. If the market will pump billions of dollars into a company, they have little right to complain about that company's software. There is competition. There was a lot more of it before all of you gave them all of your money. If you dislike Microsoft's product line, then download a Linux or BSD ISO, and install it. If you vote with your pocketbook, the company will listen. Hit companies that break the law with the law, and if you dislike the lack of competition, then purchase a competing product, or compete with them.

In some states, you can just purchase "grain alcohol." We drank this sort of stuff in college, though perhaps against better advice.
Our man, let's call him Doug, greeted me with a huge hug, a broad smile on his face, drink in hand (Grand Mariner of all things), and invited me in to his den.
Grand Mariner? That must be a pirate's drink, eh Matey?
Occasionally we land-lubbers will drink Grand Marnier though.
Perhaps I was harsh in the way that I put it, but I dislike that line of reasoning. I see it all of the time.
"This dreadful security problem is only a security problem if the individual attempting to gain access to the data has access to this other data."
So... having telnet forwarded to the outside of your network is only a problem if intruders can get the passwords to get in. (Of course, it's telnet, so there's no crypto to stop a sniffer from grabbing your pass while you're getting a coffee at Starbucks).

Why would anybody need C when there are hundreds of assembly languages?
Oh.
But yea, I know you might be joking, but there is a solid point in what you said (my statement was a joke). Java is overused.
You mean other than byte compiling and being able to code OpenGL in something that resembles the OpenGL API?

Yes, you're right: Virus Definition
Well, my usage improved today.
Linux?
No, no, it can't be? Linux is invulnerable to virii!
Yeah, I've heard the same. I looked for it, and couldn't find it. When I'm fortunate enough to have any say in the matter, I don't use it.
Ok, true.
Sure, but what about just looking at the debugger output from the bug report? While such errors may not be entirely transparent, the debugger output would provide good guidance in the right direction.
