A masters works for many jobs, but it just translates to about 1+1/2 years experience to HR and less than that unless it in an area the company cares about.
A PhD means you are capable of leading research. You don't want one unless that is what you want to do.
While I see a LAW saying cell jammers in theatres as being bad, I see the ABILITY for movie operators to put them in as a good thing. I think letting people decide if they'd like interuption free movies by picking which chain they'd like to go to would be an excellent decision to be made by a market. And if there is a small niche that likes one over the other, smaller chains or certain theatres can do the thing lesser people prefer.
...was what I watched last night. It has Willem DeFoe (think Inspector from Boondock Saints) as Jesus and Harvey Keitel (think the Wolf from Pulp Fiction) as a good Judas.
So completely a better movie than the passion, and also, the other roles these actors have played just made it funny as well.
I agree wholeheartedly. The announcement of the RH business model change came about 2 days before I brought up a new server. I went from "Nobody's getting fired for installing redhat" to "let's find a debian distro that runs all our stuff" (Which knoppix does beautifully).
Its awesome. I understand how to do about 60% of any project I'm on. I work on relatively small teams with management who trusts you, asks your advice on the project, and *listens* when you say "X can't be done in that timeframe".
Even the "old" stuff I get to work with was cutting edge back then, and not used anymore, so its new to me:)
The things that DARPA doesn't know how to do are the smarts and the comm with the robots. They understand how to use weapons. I don't see funding for battlebots ever taking place.
Its not my analogy. Its his analogy. I think his is fine, and I still think dollar for dollar, bad poker players lose much much more than slot machine players do, at any stakes.
You're right about types of gamblers, the inevitable of losing, etc.
This is an OSS company based on a linux distro. I'm not sure the analogy to nickel slots is a bad one yet:) . Longterm viability for OSS companies is suspect in many areas (I know there are sucesses, but there are a LOT of failures too).
I know its compilable on other platforms, its just not used by any signifigant numbers of developers on other platforms.
When I write software for myself that I don't intend to maintin, I might use it. But if I EVER would want another human to keep up a piece of software on an non-Mac platform, I'd not write it in Obj-C.
You're just a little too young. Objective-C is a cross between C and Smalltalk. I would say its a wonderful blend. If you know both of those languages, you pretty much will get most of Obj-C right the first time you try to do anything in it.
As classes are first class objects, I love it. However since its only used on Macs, I cry.
I mean, you do know that slots is a game of pure chance? Whereas poker is, well, more than that...
For many people who'd be losers at poker, you lose money there faster than you would at a nickle slot.
If you learn a bit of poker however, that's not the case. But luckly, most people haven't done that.
You are right, I had them backwards. When the moon is FULL at night, the moon has no sunshine nor earth shine on it.
The benefit is solely the lack of earthshine.
Additionally, there's no benefit to having a telescope on the far side of the moon. The far and near sides of the moon both receive sunlight - the difference is that the far side never faces Earth.
Bzzzt, try again. When there is a new moon at night, the dark side of the moon is free from light from the earth AND the sun. If you put the telescope on the earth side, you aren't sheilded from that.
If you want to stay with AT&T, they've given you a large credit on your account for buying a phone from them. Go into an AT&T store, and the will have some amount ready for you.

I would say that a "User Acceptable Payment" is better. You don't ACTUALLY take the money unless you're pissed the person mailed you something. You then decide your level of spam.
"I'll take a spam if they have a $1-possible email" for instance.
The poster I'm replying to was complaining that we were "not a democracy anymore, and more a republic". I was contending we never were anything less. There are differences between the terms, and he and I were both speaking of them.
The difference is important for the purpose of this discussion. Although the Constitutional is a wee bit more important that the republic part for this discussion.
We've never lived in a Democracy. We've always lived in a Constitutional Republic. Until the 1930's* or so, war department training manuals listed democracy as a form of governemnt that failed due to sortsightedness and greed.
The will of the people is not absolute. The idea the founders had is that there are certain things that you can't make a man do, and there are certain things you cannot prevent a man from doing. They called these things rights. Then they codifed this in the constitution. The Supreme Court took on the right to declare laws contrary to this constitution, thereby void, in the Marbury v. Madison court case in the late 18th century.
The Mass. ruling on gay marriage is actually based on their constitution. Their constitution states its not possible have a law that will create "second-class citizens". The justices said that a law preventing gay's to only gain some of the benefits of marriage was creating a second-class citizenry, disallowing them from many parts of marriage, thereby contravening the Mass. State Constitution. The also mumbled a bit about "Separate but Equal" questions. These mumblings throw doubt on whether a law that gives gay marriages every right/privelidge/responsibility of straight marriage, yet calls it a civil marriage, is even constitutional, if that law is ever tested, it may be impossible to deny full marriage to gays in mass.
Now you sir, who appear to think gays should not be able to do the same thing you or I could, should be happy if that happens.
You see, the US constitution says that states must give "full faith and credit" to the laws of other states. If gay marriage was a Mass. law, a challenge of the federal law that states gay marriages need not be recognized would be EASILY declared unconstitutional via the "full faith and credit" clause of the US Constitution.
However, if its shown that due to the "second-class citzen" clause of the Mass. Constitution that gays have always had the right to marry in Mass, gays can marry there, but other states do NOT have to recognize those marriages according to the "full faith and credit" clause.
The federal law stating "a marriage is between a man and a woman" probably will stand if the Mass Constitution is ruled to allow gay marriage.
...in several areas. There are many applications that would do well to have a dually trained individual, for instance Georgia Tech would probably finance a masters in CS/BioInformatics.

I noticed how much happier I was when I became a Vegetarian and started eating out. I rarely find myself remorseful that I picked "the wrong dish".

At the start. By the end I've figured out the rest...

Its not a matter of deserve. Its a matter of wanting to stop it. We don't care who deserves the jobs, we can stop them from leaving if we want to.

I second this. The DoD is NOT scary at all. They are responsible, and they often produce things that help the rest of the world technologically.
