It's kinda moot for me. I'm a high school flunky myself. I'm fairly certain the only demographic that has fewer job opportunities is "Vegetative Coma Patient".
I'm not sure how to best protect the rights of both.
I also believe that with every right, there is, or at least should be, a duty. People who ignore that duty, but ask for the "right" should be be considered very suspect, if not dismissed outright.
Concerning point 3, I'm not wrong. Though I'd love to be proven so.
Don't ignore point #4, it is by far the most relevant of all, not to mention the easiest to get statistics for. Think about it, if lawyers have a grave responsibility to be ethical, then those who become politicians should have an even greater burden. And yet, I don't think many would disagree, they are often the very lawyers who generate the most (quite justified too) contempt. Coincidence? Or do I have the causal relationship backwards?
I'm generally speaking about civil court. I'm willing to waste more of my tax money to make sure we aren't executing innocents, or allowing the guilty to go free.
The litigious don't have a right to million dollar trials, just so they can ream someone else for the sake of malice.
Funny, why is it that so many judgments end up wrong, if they're only looking out for people's rights?
Worse, why does it cost so much money when the judgment does end up "right", and it was painfully obvious that it was so, all along?
And by far, the worst, if lawyers are just trying to protect people from injustice, why are the vast majority of them apathetic, weaselly, or just plain evil?
Bonus Question: Of everyone in elected state or federal office in the US, how many hold license to practice law? (In percentage).
Don't go anywhere near the "top 10". 5 million high school and college guidance counselors will be herding the sheep into those fields in a few months. You could be a savant in one of those fields, and it won't make a damn bit of difference if the resume is lost in the flood.
Since a few hundred can't be 1 month's salary, even at this pissant helpdesk job I'm working now (which ends the 29th) you must mean the $4500 course.
Take it. If you've got sense enough to worry about it, and you like this stuff, the only thing that might keep you from passing is not being able to learn in a classroom enviroment (which means alot for some people). Get that, and you'll pass. Either that, or hang out at my place, and learn Wang VS CPxx assembly language with me.
I obviously can't offer you enough money for you to help me... so what would you take in trade?
All I want out of it, are a few emails where I get to ask you questions about resumes and interviews, and you tell me just what the difference in those 10, that sets them apart from the 490. I would kill, to hear something like that from someone who actually does the hiring...
Someone has never played with SAP R/3, it would appear.
180some tables, and this one isn't all that big. About 4-8 of the tables have roughly 30 million records each. The majority of the others have several thousand records, few are truly small. I'm told, that this is far from being the largest SAP database out there, and I get the distinct impression that my coworker means something along the lines of "twice, even three times as big as ours".
Ah, the frustrations of being a lowly little helpdesk ijit. *frown*
Me, I would think I'd call those "database admins" and network architect, respectively.
Hey, if they are paying for it, what's to lose? I've had to pay for all my exams and study materials out of pocket. If I were you, I'd be pressuring them to pay for one of the $4500 courses for you. I just don't have that luxury myself.
Micro$oft has always made excuses of one sort or another, about a great many things. But, so far, few have been this ludicrous.
The first, was "it can only hurt the US economy if the debut of Windows 98 (was 98, wasn't it?) is delayed..."
And now, "releasing source code/API's would threaten nationally security".
Does anyone want to start taking bets what the next grand bullshit excuse will be? My wager is on "God commands thee to cleanse thy hard drive of this vile Linux". I just can't think of anything else that is on the level of the first two.
Big deal. I grew up in a small hick town in Indiana that had more than 7600 people. It's not a large number, or even middling, when taken in the context of "worldwide". Also note, I meant to say "unlike the MCSE" in the parent. I need a telepathic keyboard, the words just aren't passing through to the kb correctly.
Hmm. That's why we see no mention of Sparc workstations on it, or even the more common Macs that keep showing up in the advertising/graphic design departments. That's why every damn question involving DOS refers to it as "MS DOS".
My first exam is scheduled this Thursday. I don't expect to have any problems whatsoever. Then, I'm going to max out the credit card by taking the Sun certs. Show them I'm not some lame MSCE grunt. Not that it will do any good. In 3 years, only once has a cert made any difference (turned down for a lowly pc tech job for lack of A+... didn't do any good that I offered to take and pass the thing the very next day. Haha).
My home network consists of roughly 50 machines, on a hybrid ethernet, token ring, arcnet, localtalk, and FDDI network. Netware, NT, SunOS, linux, VMS, and Banyan Vines servers, with AmigaOS, MacOS, OS/2, DOS, and windows clients. Every protocol known to mankind.
I have integration problems that have taken months to solve, and some that I'm still working on. I run web servers, database server, LDAP/directory servers. Recently started dual homing a few of the servers, and running ripd on them. Since I can't afford a $5000 electricity bill, and many of the servers are powered on and off as I use them, routing really gets a workout.
I dabble in code, from assembly language on up to perl and sql. I have crappy hardware that is constantly dying and needing to be diagnosed and fixed.
I either need to find a decent job, or hire 5 techs and call my hobby a business.
Offtopic: Guys, 2 years of ebay have failed to find some really special nics for me. The Ecolink "econet pc" ISA card, starlan 1baseT cards, corvus omninet ISA, the arcnet option board for the TRS-80 model II, and a PCI HIPPI card. Also, if it exists, a TCNS 100mps Arcnet PCI card. If you have any of these *begging* please email me.
I may be unemployed come May 29th, but by god I'm gonna have some kickass toys to play with in all that spare time.
If that's a job offer, where do I apply? Give me enough to live on, and a job whose contract isn't up in 3 months when the recruiter told me 6, and I'd be your IT slave.
Still under 4000 CCIE's worldwide. There are no boot camps for it, and very little study materials. Only 2 places in North America to take it, RTP in N. Carolina, and I believe in San Jose.
I've never met anyone that I believe could pass it, and I certainly couldn't. Even the CCNA wasn't a joke(like the MCSE exams). I'm scared of the CCNP.
Well, true. I was talking about the desktop market, and perhaps even game consoles.
I'm just having trouble picturing what you'd need in the embedded market though, that a.01 process wouldn't be capable of handling. How much cpu does it require to calculate optimum fuel injector settings, for instance?
Anything so truly massive, that it needs that kind of cpu power can't possibly be realtime, can it? And if it isn't offload it to a networked machine somewhere. At least thats how it seems to me.
What I couldn't figure, is why the one guy almost modded it down, and then several afterwards actually did so. At first, I thought it might be some abbreviation for windows software I wasn't aware of (which would make it flamebait). Crackmoderation again.
Try typing it in and hitting enter, at that weird dos like thingy called the console, or alternately at a Kterm window, or whatever the crap it's called (wmaker user myself). Again, it is...

Why? Well, because when I typed it in, in a non-halfassed fashion, the blind/dyslexic/illiterate moderator modded me offtopic. Quite possibly because he was too fucking retarded to tell when my post ended, and my sig began. If you don't like sigs, or are confused by them, turn the damn things off. Or at least abstain from from moderation until you have a brain.
And the worst part? In close to 12 months that I've had an account (been posting as AC for 3 years) I've never once been m2'd. I won't now. Because if anything, the IQ limit for metamoderation is even lower than that for moderation, if possible. Retards.
VVVV-------- This is my sig, not an
"advertisement". It happens to be somethign you
can opt out of, if you like. It's a personal statement.

In a criminal case, you do deserve a fair trial, and a fair defense.
But if you think even 10% of civil cases have any merit whatsoever, I don't even know what to say.
I'd represent myself in a non-criminal case. And I'd certainly try to avoid having to do even that.
Lawyers that represent clients in the wrong, are in the wrong themselves. No excuses.

Any fool knows that it is flawed to that magnitude. Only the fact that it was publically admitted by a M$ official is newsworthy.
