He managed to get an offer somehow, and it probably didn't come out of the blue. That means applications and interviews. If you're putting in that effort, then you've already committed to leaving.
I spent a whole weekend trying to get my wireless card working in Ubuntu. I finally gave up and went the hackint0sh route. (ironically, that was actually easier...)
In my experience, DVDs fail much more frequently than CDs. I used to back everything up on DVDs until one day I tried to use one that was about a year and a half old and it was bad. After checking others I found that I had a failure rate of about 50% of anything older than one year. This is with name-brand discs (multiple brands), both DVD-R and DVD+R.
On the other hand, I've got CDs that are well over 10 years old, and still read and write just fine....
Printing is much cheaper the first time, but a hardcover usually lasts much longer. I would imagine that these books would probably have to be printed every year.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though. Students would always have the most up-to-date version.
Also, who pays for the PC? The parents? If that's the case, then it'd be a hell of a lot cheaper for the state just to have them buy the book in the first place.
I think he was referring to the fact that people are breaking the law by parking somewhere they shouldn't or for longer then they should. Hence the parking ticket in the first place.
I'm convinced that there is a higher percentage of whiners in IT than in other industries.
Most jobs that pay well are stressful, have long hours, unpaid overtime (for salaried workers), and are not fun. That's why it is called "work" and not "play". Get over it.
I was making between $18 to $20 per hour about 8 years ago. To be honest, though, the job experience that I got meant NOTHING when it came time for me to get a full-time job No employer took my internships seriously (I had 4 of them)
What it did do is let me graduate with no student loans. I say take whatever you can get...
Rogers also has a clause that states that it is against the terms of the contract to use their network in a way that decreases the quality of service for another user.
Since Rogers is cable, simply logging on will require SOME bandwidth, which leaves less for your neighbors. In essence, simply using their system is breaching the contract.
Another thing to consider is that MANY corporate applications are built to run in IE 6, and won't run properly in another browser (or the sysadmins refuse to update because the software isn't officially supported)
Three of the companies that I've worked for in the last 5 years (2 are fortune 500s) are tied to IE 6 indefinitely due to this.
I would assume that the moon would be a better location for most of these facilities. The lack of gravity alone is a serious problem. Sure, there are ways to simulate gravity, but then you're wasting a lot of energy on something that could be free...
The users out there who like their AOL etc. don't have a clue what a hard drive is, never mind Sync/refresh rates, and what is actually inside there computer. They just want it to work.
When was the last time an AOL user installed any program, let alone an OS? Installation and setup complaints with regard to any linux distribution is moot. There's nothing difficult about using linux.

This is very poor advise. Many companies have a "no bargaining" policy, and even if they do, you'll still probably leave within 6 months.
The OP would also have to ask for significantly more than 7k to stay (time = money).
NOT TRUE!!!

Blu-CD will store no more data that a regular CD. They just use a blue laser to write the master.
Fail, yourself, buddy.

Maybe the difference is that you worked at IBM and got an offer at IBM.
I worked for three different companies, and didn't apply at any of them when I graduated.

Wii-R ?
The company gets a huge tax break for any worker they bring in for an internship, and they can write off the visa expense.
It also depends on the country of origin. I'm from Canada, and my visa cost $56
"unlimited" isn't really possible. You'll always be limited to the amount of memory available and the amount of time it takes to compute the result.
That being said, implementing a non-standard data type that has precision FAR beyond the standard ones is relatively easy. (Think high-school level)

Go look up the definition of peak oil.
After we deplete the "known fields" the amount that can be extracted per year will decline as it will be significantly harder to pump from the earth.

OK parachute, when someone pulls on your cord you open. Got it?

You do know that the .NET initiative was to get eliminate COM programming, right?
