If IT candidates do not repent and better themselves, Corporations will inflict a terrible punishment on all IT workers. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great many geeks, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither Windows nor Linux. The living will envy the dead. The work of Corporations will infiltrate even into the IT training classes. Cubicals and Copying Machines will be sacked.
"Aristotle... argued, you know, there sort of has to be a God. Of course thatâ(TM)s nonsense,â Corbett said according to a transcript of his lecture. âoeI mean, thatâ(TM)s what you call deductive reasoning, you know. And you hear it all the time with people who say, âWell, if all this stuff that makes up the universe is here, something must have created it.â(TM) Faulty logic. Very faulty logic.â
He continued: âoeThe other possibility is, itâ(TM)s always been there.... Your call as to which one of those notions is scientific and which one is magic.â
âoeAll Iâ(TM)m saying is that, you know, the people who want to make the argument that God did it, there is as much evidence that God did it as there is that there is a giant spaghetti monster living behind the moon who did it,â the transcript says.
Corbett told his students that âoerealâ scientists try to disprove the theory of evolution. âoeContrast that with creationists,â he told his students. âoeThey never try to disprove creationism. Theyâ(TM)re all running around trying to prove it. Thatâ(TM)s deduction. Itâ(TM)s not science. Scientifically, itâ(TM)s nonsense.â
All he criticized was faulty logic, magical thinking, and deduction as science. I see nothing here that denigrates a specific religion.
A friend of a friend has been complaining the GE can't find enough SCADA "programmers" for the past five years. I have no idea where you start.
Also, people are now asking more questions about SCADA security so I'd expect to see some dollars thrown at the problem to make it go away, or at least less news-worthy.
Like also-ran MMORPGS, LinkedIn is JADSNS - just another damn social networking site - that requires YADPAUTR - yet another damn username and password - and wants you to DPI - divulge personal information - so they can SMSS - sell moar stupid shit.
When Sol was asked its opinion about the US debt crisis, London riots, the Syrian crackdown, and worldwide market setbacks, it replied, "Pppppbbbbbbbbbbtttttttt!... Crap, missed again!"
In this movie "Bright Eyes" is Cesar's mother - the same nickname given to Taylor. The subtext is that Charlie Heston was reincarnated as a female chimp!
While Sir Tim was busy inventing I was jazzed about GEnie, Compuserve, and AppleLink. I couldn't imagine things getting so much more sophisticated. Then 4 years later I used the "View Source" command for the first time. I immediately grokked what HTML was about. Biggest rush EVAR! I was also not wearing pants.
Thanks, Sir Tim, for the long-lasting endorphin high and the savings on my laundry bills.
Amazonâ(TM)s biggest feature by far, has been their Free App Of The Day promotion. Publicly their terms say that they pay developers 20% of the asking price of an app, even when they give it away free
They bought my company, fired many including me, and didn't pay. I sued. I won! I won what I'd lost, legal fees, and even damages......from a company that was killed in the dotcom crash a year earlier.
It took about ten years for my ass to stop hurting. I should frame that ol' stock certificate now for laughs.
I think that Sony would disagree with you there. I doubt that the total value of your stolen cars and jewellery would add up to anywhere near what Sony has lost due to its recent hacks.
I'll bet every person who was infected by a Sony rootkit or anyone who wants to mod or run a second OS on their Playstation will say it was just deserts.
He isn't claiming ID is "science" exactly, but he demonstrates some seriously flawed magical thinking. Therefore, I'm treating everything he says with a more-than-average jaundiced eye,

What Will IT Look Like In 10 Years?

Office Depot employee: People were lined up before we opened. We had no idea what it was about.
All gone. :(
In essence the teacher said what you said.
Here's what quoted in TFA:

Please, please, please, all browser makers: Give me a permanently displayed "find in page" box.
A hate that Crome's search box goes away when you change pages.

Want to hear more about SCADA from /. people.

My, look how far we haven't come!
Also, penis!
All joking aside, I'd really like to know what connectivity is like for troops overseas.
Why does Blizzard hate our troops?

Heh. Well some Gov article comments ARE worth reading. Some, er, yeah.
Good idea, er, Anon Cow!
I'd like to see some aggregate comment stats on the front page next to each story:
Anon Cow posts/Total posts*100.
Troll Mods/Total Mods*100
Some comment threads aren't worth reading simply because there is too much noise or flames. (Even with filters and the like.)
I find your comment to be outside of any sane value system.

OK, FOURTH time looking at the article
I need a link to that.

is no help. Or have my eyes blown out again?
Mod parent up.
Contract updates should have a human readable diff summary on the first page.

Holy crap! You want a time machine? Just convince lawyers the can go back in time and sue people and I guarantee they'll invent one.
"This could be a real solution for rural areas that are going to be hard to service with cable or DSL."
This.

How many times can I push the reload button on my browser before I'm breaking the law?
Hey Richard Armitage is on the board of directors!

We haven't seen that ol' spookette in a while.
Apparently ManTech and HBGary work together ( http://publicintelligence.net/hbgary-mantech-internet-and-social-media-reconnaissance-presentation/ ), so this could be more fallout from the HBGary/Aaron Barr/Anonymous story.
WHICH, as a matter of fact, I just wrote a small journal article about (sorry to shill, but I really think it's relevant!) http://slashdot.org/journal/269108/Aaron-Barr-amp-The-Jester
One day the complete Anonymous story is going to make a great book and several bad movies.
