Actually, a lot of engineers end up in managerial positions down the road in their career.
There's a trend towards "engineering and management" courses (at least here in Canada) where you receive your B.Eng and an MBA, for the above stated purpose.
Being passionate about engineering is fine, but after time, you'll find you either want more money (the higher up the ladder you go...), or more control (the higher up the ladder you go...).
I don't want this to sound like engineers are greedy control freaks (though there is certainly an argument for this), but it's just the way life is. The longer you work somewhere, the more seniority you acquire. Seniority usually requires you to manage less senior people.
The majority of the ones we have are by a company called CIRQUE. The model is a Wave keyboard (ergonomic, like the Microsoft Natural), and has a touchpad in the wristrest called a "Glidepoint." We have two models -- one has the Glidepoint in the centre of the wrist pad, and the other has it off to the right, under the directional arrows.
The two models are KXB340 and the GKB330. Actually, these both have it under the directional arrows, I can't seem to find one with it in the middle at the moment.
Allt he models have a single cable to the computer, which splits into a PS/2 for the keybaord, and a DB-9 as the Glidepoint is a serial mouse. You can either get a DB-9 to PS/2, or bite the bullet and join the 1980s.
The FCC-ID on both of those, if you care, is GYUR33SK.
We also have some Fellows keyboards that have a detachable rest, that features the Glidepoint as well. The wristrest/Glidepoint has a PS/2 connector running from the side. The keyboard model is KB-7903, with an FCC-ID of E8HKB-7903. The Touchpad model is KB99842, which appears to also be the part number for the keyboard.
I think the point of the article is with respect to the PC. Cisco is successful in the niche market that is networking hardware. I suspect it's more difficult to program on Cisco's proprietary hardware, than say, something using x86 architecture.
Not to mention, I don't see anyone running a PC running IOS, which is what the "business analysts" claimed Apple should have done with Mac OS.
That said, I've seen more people who stop drinking Alcohol Y (where Y is one of the many types of alcohol) and start drinking Alcohol Z. They never return to Alcohol Y, and chances are, they end up eating food X again.
The Slackware Store (http://store.slackware.com) offers "Slack sub" (http://store.slackware.com/cgi-bin/store/slacksub next?id=vCka82m6&mv_pc=55) which sends you a box set of the latest version of Slack when it's released ("about once every 6 months").
Granted this option costs more than downloading it, but isn't it great to support something you love? And hey -- it comes in a fancy jewel case!
I still have an old duffle bag around somewhere that contains tons of Construx pieces. I remember building an exo-skeleton of sorts, and walking around my house with it.
I was the only kid I knew who had any idea what they were, and people would always look at me funny when I would mention them. I had (have) Lego too, and played with Lego more often, but Construx always had a place in my heart.
I don't see why not -- put a song through the program, and based on it's results, make your changes. The FAQ states many times that their software doesn't create music, it simply analyses it. No doubt the record execs are sitting around looking at the analysis, asking, "What needs to be tweaked so more 13 year olds will get their parents to buy this?" (The answer being nothing, as that job is left to the marketing department)
You might want to write pseudocode before you do touch that one line of code. For something this large, jumping right in will leave you frustrated and you will surely abandon this project.
This is something that cannot be stressed enough. Every single detail should be planned out before you begin to code.

Err, wait. I retract my statement. I was thinking of the Canadarm.
I'm surprised someone modded me insightful already.
The poster seems surprised that Canadians have a fix. It would make sense, since we built the thing.
Precisely.

Hope this helps.
Yes. They do, in fact. We have several of them out on the floor at work.
It's been my experience that users actually hate this concept very much, and rather prefer a seperate mouse and keyboard.
Hence why they are on the floor.

Alcohol is more addictive than generic food X.
That said, I've seen more people who stop drinking Alcohol Y (where Y is one of the many types of alcohol) and start drinking Alcohol Z. They never return to Alcohol Y, and chances are, they end up eating food X again.

Weird, so do I. For the record, I have all 10.

This is precisely true. I pirated DOOM, DOOMII, Ultimate DOOM, and all the Commander Keen games over the last decade.
Now that I make a respectable income, I can afford to spend $50 on DOOM3. Plus, I get a fancy poster, a fancy statue, and a box to add to the shelf.
The only downside is that I can no longer snicker at the 1-800-NO-2-PIR8 (or similar phone number) warez warning screen when you exit the game.

The black one makes sense though, unless you're at the top of a snow-capped mountain.
Then they'll go stale.
The inventors say that these features on cars will make driving more entertaining.
As long as you're being entertained watching the crying car behing you, as you rear-end the angry car in front of you, what difference does it make?!
