My coworker/friend eloquently summed up his feelings about the university with the following paragraph. It was written after he formally announced that he was quitting work to go back to school
"""
Though I worked hard, I often felt that the system of bureaucracy and the vestiges of old blood hampered any sense of efficiency, appreciation and respect. I began to see the negatives where cronyism and nepotism were abounding, where politics really became a factor, and where overpaid, unknowledgeable and complacency were all synonymous.
"""
I am lucky to work for a research group that is entirely funded by federal money. This allows me to enjoy the positives of the university environment while our autonomous structure allows me to avoid most of the negatives. But just like my friend I will be going back to school to get a graduate degree.
Don't get me wrong, I love my job. But unfortunately I can't say the same for the rest of the University.
Every time a see a post by Timothy, there is some sort of error.
The title of the story calls the company Musenski, but in the submission itself the company is referred to as Musenki. Notice the spelling difference.
And I am supposed to pay for this crap.
I don't think you can really call this plane a spy plane. First, it is not unmarked and Second the Chinese know about and often escort this plane when it comes close to China. Third the Chinese know exactly what they are doing in the plane.
I don't think you can call that any more then observing
Although I really don't like the idea. I would much rather have a v-chip in my tv and have regular stations broadcasts movies uncensored then have to watch censored movies and have someone else judge what is appropriate for me to watch.
But will broadcasters loosen up on the censoring of shows when the v-chip comes out? If they do then I am all for it.
I remember reading an article in wired. This past year about a guy who but all of atari's old backstock of 2600 games. He has a big wherehouse and sells lot of weird things that he bought in bulk. I am sure that if you go to the library and look in the past articles you may find the info.
I am sure someone out there knows the link.
Also with the emu scene so strong do you think you really have a viable buisness plan.
I remember that one of the first development environments ran on Linux
Anyways Sony has always been pissed that they missed the computer revolution. Read the book We Were Burning to understand why. The PS and PS2 was Sony's answer to sneaking a home computer into everyone's house. While most don't see the PS or even the PS2 as a home computer, the PS3 will definitely fit the description.
With Sony's little machine in every living room of America, Sony could be set to revolutionize the home computer market. And Linux, being free for Sony, could be the catalyst to do just that.
Eventually we will see a "proprietary" Sony operating system that runs on the Linux kernel. Whether it is on PS2 or the next incarnation is yet too be seen.
Believe me Sony has much bigger plans then just a game machine.
This summer while working in Tokyo I seen the ads for this product on TV.
There is the boy band called "Da Pump," think of a more lame "n sync," bouncing around on trampolines and using thier little PDAs
I wish I had a copy of this ad. I don't think anyone would take this product seriously even they marketed it that way over here.
Anyways after seeing one up close up I wanted to buy it but I didn't have money to burn.
I first started school as a CS major. To tell you the truth I didn't enjoy it. I enjoy coding and problem solving but I didn't enjoy all of the math, physics and EE. And my school doesn't really offer the CS classes that I wanted to take. So in turn I really wasn't enjoying my major. So I had to ask myself why am I a CS major. Well I did want to learn how to code, and I thought it would be a prestigious major, but I just wasnft enjoying it. I could endure this major and come out on top, or I could pick a major that I really enjoyed and that was more unique. And I could continue coding and learning how to program the stuff I wanted to learn on my own. Now I am a East Asian Languages And Cultures and Japanese Major. I now work in the computer industry and will have no trouble finding a good job when I graduate, I have already received a few offers. And I am much more happy now, then I was a few years ago as a CS major.
If you are bitching now that you donft want to be a CS major because its ten times harder then a CIS major then you will be miserable at your work when you graduate. If you follow the dollar bill and not your heart then you will be miserable. Do something you want to do. Pick a major that will give you the most enjoyment. And likewise pick a career that will give you the most enjoyment. If you have to ask a question about what major should you chose, then you have choose the wrong major.
Please email the contact info for that company.I'll pay you lots of money if the job is still available and I get it or get a similar one
Thanks

I work at UCLA's main computer lab. Whenever I have a user come up to me with a bad disk, this happens everyday. I explain and show them, with great detail mind you, how to ftp to their own personal space, every UCLA student has one, and I show them how to send their file as an attachment. If they are too stubborn to learn how to use what I taught them then they deserve to lose their files the next time around.
For UCLA's Arthur Anderson Buisness school, you are also required to have a labtop. Integration is the same. If you go there expect to shell out at least $3,000 for your required laptop. Did I mention you shouldbuy them through the UCLA store.
