  1. Re:$42k a year on Changing Jobs for Job Satisfaction? · · Score: 1

    I think you are missing the point. This PhD said that he did not get a permanent contract. The question you should ask is WHY didn't he get a permanent contract? Without a permanent contract (tenure) you are working year to year unsure of your future but with tenure you have one of the most secure jobs in the world. Maybe these PhDs just weren't good enough to get tenure!!

    If you have two cows, sell one and buy a bull.

  4. Degree Vs Education on Professors vs. WiFi · · Score: 4, Insightful

    From my experience there are two types of students. (1) Those who want a degree and (2) those who want an education.

    Usually, those who want an education are those who are paying attention in class.

  5. Provisional and US Mail on Patents for the Little People? · · Score: 1

    I filed a Patent about 6 months ago â" here is what I suggest. First, write out your idea, seal it properly in an envelope and mail it to yourself, but of course donâ(TM)t open it when it comes. This immediately establishes the date of your invention, so in case of anything you can claim prior art.

    Next go online and file a provisional patent with the US Patent Office since this will give you some protection for one year, then find a good patent attorney. I am in the Miami area and I found patent attorneys in Ft. Lauderdale. I think in total it cost me about $5,500 but the more you can do for yourself (as far as drawings and descriptions etc.) the cheaper it will be. Their web site is at http://www.patentusa.com and the attorney I spoke with was Greg Mayback.

    Hope this helps.

    Netscape 7.0 will not allow me to open Netscape Web Mail - it just carries me to a blank page. To open Netscape Web Mail I have to use Internet Explorer.

  7. Software Solution on Nexland Pro800Turbo Load Balancing Router Review · · Score: 1

    I have both DSL and a cable modem and I was thinking of using connection teaming as a cheaper software solution for this. I was looking at solutions from MidPoint and VicomSoft which both cost under $100.
