On the other hand I get 1-2 a week from big and small companies. I have my current job because one of those offers.
So it must be you:-p
In all seriousness, I actually ask each one of those recruiters to be "LinkedIn" with me, because when it's time for me to start looking, I have a bunch of contacts I can talk to immediately, and they've already looked at my resume and thought I was a good fit for a certain type of position.
It took about a few years to go from "never been on LinkedIn" to my current situation, so it's not like its something that happens over night.
If everyone was by themselves with absolute no tie to anything else (like family, friends, school), then yeah you could just move anywhere you wanted.
Also, the national average includes Walmart and McDonalds which account for as many workers as the sum of all programmers in the US (based on some quick research). Most of those workers don't have the training and education we have, so I fail to see why we would be held to the same standard.
Also, I bet we work a lot more overtime, so I can see why we would be upset by the legislature allowing employers to force us to work more hours (under threat of being fired) and not allowing us to ask for payment for those hours (through normal means, or suing, which is what this bill is preventing).
WTF? Really Hollywood? That's gotta be one of the worst neighborhoods in LA.
I agree that Dallas is a much better market than LA, but in Dallas the same programmer making $75k in LA, is making $50k.
And seriously, who do you know making less than $100k/year * 2 people that "take extended vacations" and have "$30,000 cars"?? I seriously don't know anyone.
$1200 for mortgage in the suburbs of LA? HAH!. Even in Riverside county (which sucks), you're paying $400-500k for a house (used, sucky house).
Yeah in Dallas, you can go to Carrollton and get a house for $150-200k and its really nice, but like I said, that's not the market we're talking about.
Rent for a 1 bedroom (meaning by yourself or with a partner) is $1,000... so $12,000 if you don't have kids. If you have kids, then $1,500 is the low end for a 2 bedroom... so that's $18,000.
12,000 / 52500 =~ 23% of your income. 18,000 / 52500 =~ 34% of your income.
Then there are cars, gas, and insurance so you can get to your job.
When you add in health, and 401k (gotta save right)... I'm sure it's a higher percentage than those above.
And we ARE talking about California, so prices elsewhere don't matter. We're talking about California housing prices and California job markets.
Salary does not make you part of any class (ie, 75k in NYC means you can barely afford a 1bedroom apt), disposable income does.
Since when is $75k a large amount of money? These people aren't rich or wealthy. That's middle class. Which mean both parents need to still work to afford a house anywhere near where they work, and the cars to get them. If you have younger kids, then there's baby-sitting and extra insurance and crap like that.
$75k is barely making it in most markets (especially California).
Rent in most places in California is 1 bed room for $1k+.
I didn't say anything about the content, but changing search results so all the negative stuff comes first, when normally, there would be a fair bit of good and bad commentary is poisoning.
I'm not saying these types of tactics aren't used (by certain media outlets and such), but I don't think they SHOULD be used. Even though perfection is unattainble (in anything really) one must at least try to reach it. By using underhanded tactics and gaming the system (search engines in this case) they are manipulating democracy.
I also don't agree with a previous poster's comments about how not everyone should vote. Everyone's opinion is important IMHO, but I also realize that everyone is flawed in some fashion. By allowing everyone to vote, you reduce the chance that any one flaw will win out. (it hasn't been the case recently, people have voted AGAINST issues instead of FOR candidates).
Isn't one of the tenants of democracy that everyone have access to all information and then they decide who's best for themselves? This is poisoning the available information so citizens don't have all of the information about a candidate.
Pretty surprising come from the left, you know, with their morals and such.
The high back lets you recline fully when enjoying a movie. It's very comfortable and has a bunch of options to set height, back stiffness / angle it reclines to.
How could you POSSIBLY see the internals of Drupal and still go with it? Everything is a global function. No classes, and a mess of spaghetti code.
For every page render, there are like 100 function calls that go something like this: is there a function called blah_blah_blah_blah? is there a function called blah_blah_blah? is there a function called blah_blah?
My wife worked for a civil engineering firm in SoCal and she told me about this plan awhile ago. The main benefit to this was moving cargo she said. Put the containers from the trucks onto this train and shoot them over to Las Vegas where they could be hauled around the country in trucks.
Since congestion is so bad in SoCal and a lot of that traffic is related to the port and the tens of thousands of trucks that transport cargo to and from it.
Do you have the pre-fetch option on in Firefox? If you do, it might be requesting the page and therefore the cookie in the background. When on the Google results, it Firefox pre-fetches the first few links.
That might have been true for ActionScript 1 and 2, AS3 is a solid OOP language. Also, as Flash gained popularity and was used for larger projects, it no longer became the realm of the designer. Most if not all sites I've worked on in the past 6 months have been using MVC and other design patterns.
Most of the books on Flash development don't even use FLA's. Everything is taught using code only, so the quality of code and programmers has gone up significantly.
This announcement is for APPLICATIONS. No one is going to see YOUR PROFILE! This allows people without facebook login's to see APPLICATIONS, not read your profile. If they want to use those APPLICATIONS, they will have to sign up. Even if they had a facebook profile, they still couldn't see your profile.
Ohh and another thing. Potential employers can't see your profile unless they submit a "friend request" and you accept them. So there's no issue with anyone searching google and finding your profile.
I also wandered around this. I wonder if it was in reference to a "Star Gate" which seems like pretty obvious reference to many SciFi novels, or does the word "Stargate" refer to a specific SciFi story.
Did anyone happen to visit Stargate.com before the movie???
Looks like Stargate.com is now a Co-location company in Chicago.
Well, Mario Galaxy has received really excellent mark from many in the gaming community. It is definitely a must own title. On another point though, what games really have so much staying power that you will play it after you've beat it? Unless you play with friends, or online, there's very little reason to re-play a game. That's why they keep coming out with new games, so you have something to keep you playing.
Just sell your games on Ebay, or GameStop if you're lazy, and buy some new games.

Hacking is probably one of the coolest parts of the game. You get cheaper stuff from vending machines, but really its about hacking turrets. I once hacked a whole room (I think it was where I got the camera), and then watched as splicer after splicer got destroyed by an array of turrets. Plus you can use them against big daddies etc. I trip alarms just so I can hack a bunch of flying turrets to follow me around the level and kill stuff for me.

My love for this game stems from this post... the fact that, the parent's post is an option, one of many to deal with these enemies, is awesome. I fight big daddies all the time just for fun, then reload of course because it take a billion rounds of ammo.
My favorite so far was in the second level, I believe, when I snuck underneath these grates you could walk on. I proceeded to kill Splicers and a big daddy by shooting them through the grates. The AI was pretty smart though and would shoot back through the same holes I was shooting them.
CakePHP is great for two things... for organization of files (since views go in the views directory, controllers in the controllers directory, etc), and its Bake tool (which you can hack up to hell in order to get it to output your own code). Right now my company is able to generate an entire custom built CMS system using a very highly customized Bake. The output has all of the CRUD elements, searching, custom ACL, etc... Frankly it's amazing what we're able to build within a few minutes.
We now use it for every project, just because we have this large custom built framework, and since everything is forced into this MVC pattern, the code is highly reusable.
Sure you can achieve the same type of things by yourself if you're a good programmer with a solid programming background, but when you're working in a team of 20 developers with ranged skill sets, having a framework which forces you to stick to a programming pattern, is a godsend.
