Not true- I've seen them on boats and those boats dock. It's the same way AK has giant Norwegian rats running the shipyards- they got there by boat.
Much of AK has more pleasant weather than Chicago and they sure has hell don't freeze here, so I call bullshit!
With the amount of air traffic, ships, and trucks, there is simply no way that AK doesn't have them.
I think certs do help and I prefer the big name certs like COMP-TIA because a lot of large corporations participate and sponsor them. If you want to work for a small company, then it probably does not matter as much.
With most of a BSMIS complete, a Network+, and some Apple certs, I was able to get hired on with two other folks from my team that had consulted for a large bank for 4 years. I don't know the exact reason, but I was able to negotiate 20k more than my closest co-worker when we were hired. None of us had full degrees and I was the only one with any certs.
COMP-TIA recommends A+, Network+, then security+ in that order. I may be back in the job market soon and it's a lot easier to grab a couple certs for things I already know then to deal with finishing my degree via a bunch of bullshit classes that cost a lot more.
If you have a degree to finish, a lot of colleges will let you transfer over certs for credits, so you can sometimes do double-duty with certs. My college will give me 6 credit hours for an A+ and then I get to add A+ to my resume right away while I'm chipping away at the degree.
I also recommend certs that will stand without having to take update tests- this will save you money and pain in the future.
I will also say that although I had done a lot of networking prior to getting my Net+, I learned a lot in the process and it helped me stand out on our team. The info I learned directly applied to the project we we're on and it greatly elevated my status on the team.
I was quickly assigned to work directly with our software vendor to design and test enhancements to fix a lot of issues that had been missed originally.
There is more character development in book and some of it did make it into the movie, but it's chopped up for the most part like the novel was. With the book you'll find yourself flipping back to other sections after certain discoveries, but you can't really do that in a movie theater and it's a huge amount of information all at once. There was a great deal cut out from the movie, but some of it will re-appear in the director's cut, which will add 30 minutes. I personally thought it was done probably as well as it could have been, but that will leave those that have not read it scratching their heads wondering what the big deal is and not getting a whole lot of it.
Finish the book, watch it again, and then let's see how you feel differently about it.
I hope they enter this field and I hope it's priced competitively.
I think Apple does things right, whether it's an established product/model or not, the majority of the time.
OnForce is awesome and easy to work with- the platform allows providers a lot of flexibility on what types of jobs they want, for how much, and easily allows you to set multiple parameters for how far you are willing to travel including zip codes, mileage rages, and area codes.
I completed 29 jobs for them a few years ago when I was between jobs and I still keep an active profile in case I end up in that situation again.
They are a great organization and they do a great job. I would highly recommend them to anyone. You also get your money within a couple days of completing the job- there are some tricks and you'll learn those as you go, but most of the clients are good, but they all have their own rules and policies that you really have to pay attention too.
I had to convince my girlfriend a few weeks ago that we should get tickets because he's one person I would really like to see before he, ahmen, dies. So we spent ~$160 for great ticket to see him at the Chicago theater on Oct. 11.
I have no more words for this.
"The group that found unbibium in thorium say it has a half life in excess of 100 million years and an abundance of about 10^(-12) relative to thorium, which itself is about as abundant as lead."
So how soon can we expect it to turn up in pet food and children's toys?
Oh, I don't have any problems with Mormons- I was baptized and grew up Mormon for a bit and I still have brothers and sisters that are active in the religion, but a lot of Republicans think of LDS as a cult. It took forever for us to get a Catholic president, it will take much longer to get a Mormon one. He's also been pro-choice and had illegals working for him, two major no-no's for his party.
Based on the rate of return he's getting from his campaign, I think you're high as hell. Besides, a mormon will not be president, probably ever. He's also been known to flip-flop a little.
The DriveStation Quattro is in your price range and provides you with 750GB of storage using RAID 5 and it's in your price range.
I just got a 2TB buffalo terastation pro II for 1K and it's awesome. Here's a review of the 1TB model.
They offer other options, but this seemed like the best one for me based on price, capacity, and reputation. True reliability means you probably want RAID 5 and that means 3 or more drives. If you don't want to fight with raid cards and configuring it from scratch, then this is a great option.
1) backup your home directories first 2) do not let the install do a straight upgrade, use the archive and install option or erase/install if you have reliable backups and can afford a little risk and a little more work 3) remove any programs that integrate themselves with the OS (hint: these will often add new preference options to the system preferences pane). These programs almost always have issues during an upgrade and are often not supported right away by new operating systems due to their nature.
These are just some basic guidelines, but if you have any specific questions or concerns, ask Apple and search for answers prior to installation. Not rocket science, but most users have never upgraded their own OS before and Apple makes it appear that anyone can do it without the slightest worry. That's close to the truth, but not close enough.
I used to work on factory trawlers in Alaska and although we fished species that travel in very clean schools, attacking that particular part of the industry brought them the most attention, even though most of their information was incorrect. I will say that I witnessed procedures and practices that bothered me and probably affected the overall industry in the end. However, the crap Green Peace used was totally fabricated and didn't have any basis in truth. I quit fishing in 98', started using macs in 02' and now the fuckers are attacking something I like and profit from again. I didn't know 10 years ago that I would be working in IT with macs, but I feel like the fuckers are following me. What's even more ironic is that all the tree-hugging hippies I have known over the years, even those from Green Peace, have been Apple users!
another/. user had that as part of a political post and I loved it- I never asked them permission, but I still consider it borrowing. I am not a creationist, but I'm glad you have a sense of humor about it.
Project+ and CAPM are geared towards your need, with the PMP focused more towards very well-seasoned project managers.
I just recently became a lead and know from the projects I've worked on, that I would be a better manager. So I'm finally doing something about it and pursuing the project management path. I just picked up the All-in-One CAPM/PMP exam guide and the recommended study path for the CAPM is a month. As with most jobs you'll learn the bulk from doing it, but the cert won't hurt and may give you the jump start and mind set to help you get started.
some folks love certs and some hate them, but I've never had issue with getting them and I've always learned a few things along the way no matter how well I thought I knew a particular topic.
But rather than post here what you should ask him and risk he won't, see if he'd be willing to provide a/. interview.
It's worth a shot and may be the best way for someone to approach him directly about it. I'm sure he's probably been asked in the past and was able to easily ignore the emails or phone calls. Asking him to do so in person will put him on the spot and he may take it more seriously.
True, but freaking it is not something programmers and known for. Programmers are stereotyped due to the lack of other skills and knowledge often associated with IT or MIS degrees. I'm currently earning a BSMIS, which covers human resource management, networking, web development, DB development, data mining, and a whole slew of management, financial, planning, and resource courses. Soft skills are much more important for management than it is for programming and most programmers are lacking soft skills. We could argue about this all day, and I won't do that, but I still think my statements are totally on base. An MIS degree has not stopped anyone from being a programmer, but it's the focus of the degree. In my personal opinion, and I work for one of the largest financial operations in the world, I think that an upper management, admin, or more executive role will be more obtainable with the more generic IT degree. Another is that there tend to be fewer hard-core programmers in the US. Combine that with the outsourcing surge and you end up with a position that is either likely to be transferred to India, or you'll be too valuable that lacking soft skills will hold you back from climbing the corporate ladder. All the higher up execs are there because they know management and currently the corporate world will take a project manager from a soda company with no IT experience and place them as a project manager on an encryption related migration for one of the largest banks in the world- it's where I work and what I see everyday at the corporate level.
anyone can freak it, but why be a freak if you don't have too?

And why wouldn't it?

interesting new book about home science labs"
american science and surplus near Chicago- I would highly recommend a visit to the real store, if you are nearby.
Since they use FrontPage, I'm sure they're just waiting for the silverfish integration to make things easier on their developers.

I had a felony, but now that's taken care of and most of the time I was voting anyway.
It's strange how all the states have different laws on how your voting privilege can be taken away.

You're right, I'm currently in a BSMIS program and that's what I was associating with my recommendation.
it's how you freak it.
