I have lived on three continents USA is the best country going. If I couldn't live in the USA then Japan is the next best place. USA totally rocks #1 in fun and opportnity. Japan is its equal but not my home of origin and the language thing is a bit tough for a non native speaker. Although, I'm working on the language.
Maybe some of our Linux idealist understand some things are worse than war. Just ask some of the poor folks in N. Korea, or some of the folks that survived and are witnesses of the holocost. Linux in defense of human dignity and fredom is beautiful thing.
"keep them in line" the arrogance of those words is so flagrant....you most be a horrible SysAdmin. How about respect, expect the best, be actively invovlved with the users. Oh, I know that's actually hard work. Forget it, just keep them in line. By the way, without "them" you wouldn't have a job.
America is the world's shining example of governmental restraint and repsect for human rights. A sizeable piece of western Europe is sliding head long into 1984 and 1938 (the great depression). Japan is second only to America in terms of governmental restraint and quality of life for its citizens. Go democracy, go capitalism!
Whoops. It will be a very time before the ESA puts another satellite in orbit. How about Europe's threatened GPS equivilent? The most effective thing they do on the old continent is harangue Microsoft. They're working off the battery in ther UPS and hoping for a graceful shut down. Future generations of Europeans will rue this generation's weak minded approach.
Everything in the article article is pretty much true but from the perspective of yesterday's status quo. Tomorrow will be owned by coders, cloners, fabricators, and those who know enough to invent the future. Those who think they can control the future with a patten are becoming irrelevant. His arguments are for the benefits of the schooner in the age of steam.
First, college isn't trade school. As long as you excell at what you do the money/employment thing will take care of itself.
Don't forget the degree you're interested in is called computer SCIENCE not "easliy exported to India low level apllication developer."
If you are not a high end guy with the science part you're in jeopardy of having your position shipped to a low wage country.
Stay focused -- you'll do great.
Often the zeal for a platform reaches almost religous intensity. If everybody involved simply keeps their eye on desired capability vice which platform is their favorite it is easier to get along. I think most of us prefer *nix because the level of control is far superior and thus far has been more stable too. Windows is simply less customizable (if that's a word) and thus at times a bit less interesting. Focus on the customer and the capability the customer wants/needs is the cure for the conflict.
It won't even come close to working. This is as silly an approach as saying the entire government must use Microsoft. Peopele should be free to choose what is best for them. That very popular spread sheet really is the best on earth. So let's go to a less capable spreadsheet, after all we don't need to look too closely at our data we're a government. When in doubt raise taxes.
Private property, freedom, and capitalism are all closely related and mutually supporting. This is bad news indeed. I guess I'll retire in an area so unattractive nobody will ever want it. Unless, a new hazardous waste dump is needed. Dang another problem.
There is no trade off between out door play and computer play. Kids will do them both naturally. You'll find that your kid will still roller blade, ride bikes, play pick games. You can't stop it and you won't have to encourage it. The computer is simply essential to modern life. If you provide the computer the kid will play with that too. The TV, a.k.a, the one eyed baby sitter, is the more likely the negative factor in learning and growing. Good luck.
In the Corps you will develop cool applications under enemy fire. The Corps only needs a few good develpers so it won't be easy and its gauranteed to be above your "skill" level. You will learn a lot.
Theo has been paying his dues and developing a rack solid OS for a long time. I have enormous respect for his contribution. At this point in time security and extensive technical knowledge go hand in hand. If you want security become an expert and run OpenBSD. Also, the blow fish t-shirts, that Theo sells, are way cool.
Dude,
I lived in Stuttgart for two years 2002-2004. Now I live in Japan. Europe is about to be crushed by the Tsunami of US, Japan, India, and China. They're faster, hungrier, and more global in their outlook regarding all things business. Europe political and economic infrastructure is very advanced and that is important but the socialist approach to politics and economics will cause Europeans to become ever poorer. Get the best academic education you can (not in administration) and get out. That is the only way to make the governments take note that they are on the wrong track. Take care jamej
The world is happy to sell in Europe but nobody wants to produce in Europe. The unions have strangle hold on the economy and labor/business laws are hostile to corporations. Much of their young talent moves to the US. I firmly believe they might consider changing shortly after hitting rock bottom.
Proficency in a foriegn language is rapidly growing in importance in every job that is worth your time. Japanese is a big money language and so is Spanish and Chinese. Pick one and learn it. It will pay you dividends long after your CompSci degree dies of old age five years from now.
I'm almost finished after the subject line. I'm fully satiated with small thoughts. Long complex texts are for good readers not bloggers.
This guy hasn't sen the ball since he earned his Phd. in horse shoe fabrication.
Art is a dynamic between the artist's creation and those that perceive it. Why have "artist" begun hating us? Artist that expect to be paid if the sculpture is photographed by those that paid for the sculpture, musicians that think copying is stealing, movie and TV studios and actors that tried to prevent VCRs, DVDs, and now Tivo.
None of this bodes well for America -- as the creative engine of global growth.
By the way I've submitted this rant for a copyright.
Go ahead and get around the pesky censorship thing - get caught, no lawyer, no rights, go to jail go straight to jail do not pass the embassy. Next, hope you don't need serious medical treatment fast. You don't have enough priviledge to get it. Hope you like working for the military because their general staff runs most of their large companies directly or indirectly. Nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there, need medical there, or piss off the authorities.
Every single custom solution we use is terrible. Further, their upkeep seems to be a bridge to far. A few years after they go online they are out of date with no hope of getting someone to spend their life reworking it. Star office, Microsoft office, SQL, almost anything out of the box open source or not is better than a custom-built-just-for-you solution. I agree with the premise.
By becoming a US Marine Daly achieved immortality. This route is still available to many of us. See your local Marine recruiter and be sure to ask about how you might become part of the Corps enduring legend. Semper Fidelis.

Addition -- its all a freak'n CPU can do, remember?

Your posting is so complex that I can't understand it. That can mean only one thing, are you the intelligent writer/designer?

Right on, my brother from another mother!

I'm sorry there is one - The Salvation Army.
