What I really mean is that when I bargain for compensation, I include the means to get my own training as I see the need. Whether it is a contractual promise for a certain dollar or hour amount of outside training classes, books, etc. or just a set amount added to base salary, I factor it in as overhead. If the company doesn't see it that way, I don't want to work for them.
Despite the doom and gloom reports, the tech market is not bad around here (Phoenix, AZ) for serious developers. For the art majors who suddently felt the need to make some money at the height of the.Com bubble, it may be different. After the billionth time of factoring some rent-a-programmer's one-method object, though, I can't say I have much sympathy about that.
Lived in a refurbed Brownstone in Boston in college. Most beautiful home I've ever seen. I'd love to live in one now. Too bad Phoenix (AZ) only has easy-to-put up trash housing. On the upside, it keeps the lawyers distracted on builder liability suits.
So it's OK for the country -- specifically your "fellow" citizens like me -- to provide you with safety by risking their lives. But when it comes to jobs, everyone is on their own.

Get rid of the H-1B program. Americans owe it to Americans not to sell out.
If you expose something to plain view, the 4th Amendment does not apply.
If an officer pulls you over and sees cocaine or a dead body or whatever in plain sight in your car, he can arrest you and use it as evidence without any 4th Amendment conflict.
If the crybabies are worried about big databases in the sky, the take care of it! Force legislators to pass laws limiting what will be obtained by specific devices -- license plate numbers, in this case -- and put legal limits on how long the data can be stored and who can view/use it. Then force real penalties for those who use it in violation of that law.
Sheez!! Americans have a representative democracy at their disposal. Use it! If enough (non-lazy/non-whiner) people feel the same way, the issue can be forced. If not, you're crying alone. Either convince others that what you say is right or shut up so we can have peace.
It would be too much to ask, of course, for him to use his time and wealth to help others. After all, he probably made his millions squashing other people.
Good riddence. Glad I won't need to hear about that spoiled brat anymore.
I find it ironic that most of the postings here validate the military structure: (1) A generalist (PM = officer) to oversee policy, manage the schedule and resources, and buffer the doers from meddling from above. (2) A tech expert (programmer = senior enlisted) to manage the tech details and be a tech knowledge source.
Who'd think the military has had it right all along? Of course, when know-nothing political (i.e. office politics) hacks get put in positions, it all falls apart no matter where you are.
The key to lib sexualizing society has been their control of our money. CIPA said "You want our money, you follow our rules". They do it to schools all the time. Why is this different?
It's not. This rinkydink 3-judge panel will be overturned by the full court or the Supreme Court.
The libraries have a choice. If they want to be porn shops, they can say no to the money.
Interestingly, the courts have been favoring 'local standards' without question in cases you're asking about. They are also beginning to accept cases against sites based outside their jurisdiction based on someone accessing the site on a computer _within_ their jursidiction.
And more importantly, the requirement to use filtering software is part of a package of rules for getting govt money. If a library doesn't want to follow those reqs, they can say "No, thank you" to the money. That simple.
It's my money...at least partially. I don't want it used to help pr0n freaks. If the library wants to be a pr0n parlor, they can get money from somewhere else.
This was just a 3-judge panel. They always give the wrong verdict. The govt will appeal and win.
The key is that the govt isn't saying "You must use filtering software". They (actually we) are saying "If you want my money, you must filter. If you don't want my money, do what you want."
The full court or the Supreme Court will rule it constitutional. Good. My money shouldn't be used to fund pr0n freaks.
This kind of crap is why services like -- and I said "_like_" -- DirecWay are so important for the future. When I can get broadband and phone service from satellite, the local telco can kiss my butt. The only reason AT&T and Cox and Qwest and the like have a chance right now is because they own the only convenient high-speed medium...phone/cable lines.
Sure...they'll try to buy up all of the satellites. Sure will be much more difficult to monopolize, though. After all, if all else fails I could contract with a *shiver* French company, if I must.
The sky is literally the limit.
Of course, now that they've found scads of water on Mars, Earthly issues won't concern me in about twenty years....
My favorite was the recent story about police confronting May Day protestors in Tempe, AZ. The story on the first day made it sound like the police tortured everyone in sight for fun. The next day, the story had been rewritten under the same link and title to (correctly) tell how the Anarchists had destroyed all kinds of property and assualted lots of people before the police stepped in.
Now THERE is truth in advertising. I assume the change came because of people like me telling them I was cancelling my subscription. I can make up my own false stories. I don't need to pay the Republic to read lies!
Organized Labor is a grand idea and it is desperately needed for IS/IT personell...
I think you meant to say "need by desperately LAZY people".
Why should I limit my earning potential to the lowest common denominator of Union scumbags? I don't need someone to hold my hand. My salary went from $45K to $80 in 1-1/2 years. Because I'm in a Union? NO...because I'm an excellent worker and I made people acknowledge that.
Unions are for people too lazy to earn their pay. (A fact proven over three summers at a unionized paper mill....)

Well, that was a little misleading.

Just put everyone left in NYC in stacked cardboard boxes and fill the streets with trash. It will be like home overnight.
The rest of us will live in decent cities with real homes.

You probably perpatuate more human rights abuses buying your foreign-made shirt to save a few bucks.
shaldannon: "Heaven knows there are enough incompentent American programmers who are still employed...."
Tell that to my friend who lost his job to an H-1B. Be sure you're wearing a bulletproof vest at the time.

chipotle_pickle: "... we all have to compete on the world level..."
What a bunch of crap.
We're Americans. We take care of our own. It's called being a country. Try looking it up in the dictionary sometime.

Just get a porno channel. It's what you're looking for in Buffy; but you don't want to keep flipping the channel when Mom comes into your room.

More importantly, ask how many suckers will be blinded when the airline slacks off on maintaining the scan units?

How long til the two collide?
Since when do people have a right to things for which they haven't worked?
What next? Will they take my Corsica and give it to some minimum-wage high school dropout because it's not fair I drive a better car?
What a stupid line of reasoning.

Only stupid or lazy people pay for Quicken.
I picked it up (and TurboTax and TurboTax State version and Norton AntiVirus 2002 and a nice shredder) for $0 after all of the rebates.
Who pays (after rebates) for software anymore?
...of Chinese people standing on top of one another.
Saves cost. Reduces (horizontal) crowding. Provides everyone with a job.
Sound like typical Communist Chinese planning.
Since when is DEMOCRATS.COM a major news source?
One of the biggest pushers of lies I've seen....

They change their stories at noon every day.

It's only a hardship because those people chose to buy toys before getting rid of their debt and saving for a rainy day.
You reap what you sow...so quit crying, folks. The only person at fault is the one in the mirror each morning.

Is that the labor movement that is now hoping to get illegal aliens to puff up their dismally dwindling ranks?
Some Europeans might disagree with you on where the labor movement began. Try France somewhere around this place called the Bastille.
