I personally believe the time to leave that first tech job is when you can find another job that pays significantly more (and at a point that doesn't leave the current team in a bind).
That seems to be what employers are looking for now. Here's a comment I saw in a job description:
Due to the diverse nature of the end-user base, you must also have exposure to a variety of installation types and environments - so ideally recent experience working for another IT vendor would be ideal. Candidates who have spent the last 4 years working in a static environment with one employer are most unlikely to be successful.
I'm curious - how do these boxes decide to become active? Do they require to be activated manually or do they detect human speech automatically? If so, it would be be fun to fill a room full of these devices and just let them run wild.
That's like living in the South-East of England now. To buy a house in an area with good schools (the middle class dream), a coupfile:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.htmlle needs a joint income of around 100K pounds/year, and even then they are spend 2 hours day commuting. Many people are just giving up and "downshifting" into the rural lifestyle instead.
I have some CD's from the 1980's which are not playable on current players, because they have over 40 tracks each (Ruby Trax Charity CD). Another CD (Billy Idol's Neuromancer) claims to have digital images between tracks which could be read by computer. Although there is no explanation on how to do so.
And they also messed up their purchases of entertainment software developers. Instead of just leaving the companies to get on with the business of making games, they started micro-managing project staff/task allocations. Needless to say, this led to many veteran programmers leaving to set up their own companies - which in some cases were directly across the road from the main studio.
Why couldn't the person be in a dome, with lots of small track balls on the floor to measure motion while still distributing the weight evenly. To ensure the maximum amount of motion transfer.
The latest credit cards in the UK have a four digit PIN that you type in on a keypad, which replaces scribbling your signature on a bit of a paper. Although with the way that the keypads are mounted vertically on a pole for easy access, I don't think they're any more secure than a signature.
The infrared filter blocks out all light except the low infra-red frequencies (anything below 620nm) Some filters can also mask out the IR frequencies above 950nm. This allows you to photograph scenery with deep levels of contrast, but not do thermal imaging.
Assuming that the clock circuity takes up 30% of the chip, wouldn't manufacturing a chip with both photonic and electrical circuitry be more expensive than just manufacturing a purely photonic chip?
At the same time, Microsoft would also learn of the weaknesses in the Linux application development environment, and would use that against Linux. This will be from the viewpoint of an.ASP developer, rather as only a C/C++ developer.
He thought that methlabs.org had established such a good reputation that they could start charge customers money for the service?
But didn't he realize that the developers would have backup copies of the site and just set up a new site elsewhere?
I've seen this thing happen with small companies. They recruit a couple of software architects to get the core software written. Once they get the software developed they give the architects the boot, and hire cheap graduates to do any customisation.
Do a google search for "electrostatic voltmeter". It's an optional mode for voltmeters to detect high voltages. There's at least one company which makes such a device Multi Function Digital Voltmeter which goes up to 500 KiloVolts.
And far cheaper than paying pensions for people on early retirement. My uncle was laid off by IBM in the mid 1980's when he was in his 50's, so he took early retirement. 20 years on, he's still going strong.
Same here - the best teachers I had were those who had worked in research institutes, had been laid off, but were doing teaching until something better came along.
But the strangest time was having an English teacher who later become our Computer Theory lecturer.
ISP's who don't want their customers to be running their own E-mail servers can register their domain ranges to this list. Companies and individuals then look up each IP address in this list and reject the connection accordingly.
RPGs? Try swinging your arm around like with a sword for hours, because that's what you'd have to do in an action-RPG. See how quickly it gets uncomfortable and then outright _painful_.
Encouraging kids to swing anything around their heads in the living room is only going to encourage lawsuits from parents. What if the controller slips out of the little darlings hands and happens to smash into the great late Aunt Mathilda's cremation urn? Or that genuine replace Ming vase that has been a family heirloom for three generations?
I can understand Nintendo wanting to compete against the interactive TV market which uses the remote control as a controller, but this really seems to be a backward step (It's going to be near impossible to play the ocarina with that button layout). I would have really thought that a controller with two analog sticks, rubber hand grips and buttons meeting the fingertips would have been better. But perhaps this is Nintendo's way of making people fork out extra for additional controllers?

Are we talking Chinese restaurants or something more exotic like spicy Mexican taco's?

There is a system for naming martian features. I guess this needs to updated to handle individual rocks.

Yes, but you didn't say it was good or not.
11 Profit! Bad if it is a cable/telco making profits,
but while not extending broadband to remote areas
Bad if it is an OS vendor/application provider making profits,
but not providing low cost versions for students/home study
Good if it is a startup challenging any of said incumbents.

Tru discussing religious philosophy with it, with goal of preventing it from going super-nova.
The first thought that came to mind was the Dynosphere.
More monowheels. The patriot monowheel, and the industrial V8 version.

A 60" rear projected digital whiteboard would cost around 5000 pounds, and a wireless webcam would cost around 100 pounds.

Yes, our teacher did that, but she drew a picture of a volcano, with the right angled triangle, as one of the slopes.

Very true - but kids should be running around outside somewhere green and in the fresh air, not running around indoors.
