1) Pick a new technology that seems interesting enough to you, is on the rise, and has a lot of demand. For me it was Adobe Flex (but I would not suggest it at this point in time). I have heard some stuff about SharePoint being hot right now, also most anything to do with mobile programming. The nichier the better.
2) Find user communities (Forums and such) pertaining to that technology, and entrench yourself within it. Answer everyone's questions, especially the ones you don't have an answer to without having to look it up and/or try it yourself. This will give you some experience with real world problems needing to be solved in that niche. Once you are confident that you can answer most people's questions without having to work at it, you are ready to move onto step 3.
3) Use the ties in the community you built up to directly market your services. Almost every community I've been a part of will have a certain number of people looking for help, and are willing to pay for it. A lot even post full contract positions. Always market local if possible. The idea that you can easily fly down for a face-to-face is a big selling point a lot of the times.
Whaaaaa... why won't anyone take me seriously? I mean I spammed this on almost every thread and still no one will take me seriously!!?? whaaaa whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I'm a programmer by profession, but only because I couldn't manage to wrangle myself up a job as a systems designer without any "education" or previous experience.:)
What a fantastically fun problem that would be to solve!
Ron Paul believes the only role the federal government should play, is to preserve the rights of the individual. Every action he takes and word he speaks supports this viewpoint. The idea is that policy decisions ("regulations") should focus more on an individual's right to choose, rather than make that choice for them. This means improving contract law, preventing monopolies, encouraging market diversity/competition, and equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to make rational ("self serving") free-market decisions.
What a lot of people don't realize, is that Ron Paul is the only candidate that presents a real threat to big business. This is why so much money is spent on keeping him out of the public eye, and discrediting his viewpoints.
I would've modded you, but there's no option "-1 nonsense"
Hows is that nonsense?
I am a programmer myself, and the notion that I could implement security measures, and not at least have some idea how to circumvent them, seems silly to me. And if I know how to circumvent those measures, I would assume that other programmers would be able to figure it out as well.
The reality is that security is an arms race. New techniques will be created on both sides for as long as technology advances.
I think it would be more correct to say that Austrians believe it impossible to create an accurate scientific model out of something as complex as the "free market," and so it would be better science to focus on how people interact within a free market environment (game theory, choice theory, etc.) instead of trying to model the economy as a whole. This is also probably why so many libertarian political views focus on the rights of the individual.
Yet the made a big deal about Chinese government trying to censor them. But I guess that's totally different!
So your argument is that Google is evil because they chose to follow the law when it came to removing some material (" White Nationalist, Nazi, anti-semitic, radical Islamic and other websites"), but tried to circumvent it when it came to censoring the Chinese people?
There's a lot of evil shit that goes on in this world... I guess ignorance is bliss...
The argument was that we (the US) spend a lot of money on a security force that is practically ineffective, and is therefore "just for show."
TFA was able to support this argument, IMHO.
I'm kind of new here, and I always thought these kind of comments are a little bit tin-foil-hatty (see, I'm already learning/.ese!). However, I think I am learning of my own niativity, as it seems people really do spend their time (and possibly have a career out of?) spamming/.
I especially like how this particular post has the exact same time stamp as the article. Is there some kind of troll bot for this kind of thing? If so, where can I buy one? It would be nice to have something that can auto-troll the trollers.:)
Slashdot Mirror
Japan??
Remember those rabit ears on old TVs? That's "super WiFi." At least that is what I gathered from TFA. I am no expert on the topic.

There may be secure and reliable e-Voting machines someday,
If some were capable enough to create such system, it stands to reason that some would also be capable of breaking such a system.

I stopped buying Apple stuff before it was cool!
I was just thinking:
Uncle Sam Must Hate Steve Jobs
That'll get more reads
FIFY :)

Which is why political lobbies love the two party system...

I'm sure he was referring to pot-odds. If i have a 5:1 chance of gaining 5x my investment, that is p=0.5.
