Ahh, the dot-com bubble all over again. Between 1996-In 2000 when I was in college it was like that. What happened was lots, and lots, of people in the CS program. The ones chasing the money ended up hating programming, and because of that were horrible at it. When the bubble burst they found themselves out of work and out of the field, and they were probably glad too.
CS is a special kind of hell for those that aren't passionate about it.
If you have *real* programming experience your don't need much. Learning a language doesn't take too long if your willing to put in the time. Case in point. I got a job programming in Java, even though my Java experience was all from college 10 years previous. Eventually converted that job from a Java job to a c# contract with no experience, and then with the 6 months experience in c# landed a full time job programming in c#.
I think you have this backward. If you believe that taking a job that pays minimum wage is suppose to pay a living wage then your already in trouble. There are too many people that can do those jobs to justify a higher wage, and the service that they provide is not invaluable enough. A person will only pay so much for a burger before they just decide to buy a loaf a bread and cold cuts at the grocery store and make their own sandwich. Flipping burgers was never meant to be a life long career choice.
If you're so stuck in a rut then seek help! There are many programs both provided by the government, non-profits, communities, and churches that can help you qualify for better employment.
Not all Republicans. This one has been sick at the corporate welfare pushed by my own party. I've been cheering the FCC director and marveling at his backbone to push this non-partisan for the people measure through. I starting to think he'd be a good candidate for president someone that would serve the people.
I wish that the American people would wake up and stop treating politics as a sporting event and villianize everything from the other party. I wish we would start to seek and promote those that actually seek a better USA and that understand the principles that founded this country in the first place. These kind of individual are members of both the major parties and many of the minor parties. As the american people participate early we can avoid having to vote for the lessor evil and instead start voting for the greater good. If you only start to think about who to vote for in the general election it is too late.
I doubt it,
I had an tiny Geo Metro that was pieced together from two totaled cars. When it was put back together the person didn't bother putting back most of the emissions hardware -- at the time I had no idea this was the case. I moved to California to work for a few years. The first emissions test this car received it failed miserably ( passing was something like 10 ppm and it was spewing 500 ppm) as you can imagine. I took it into the shop, and they just put on a new catalytic converter without fixing the actual problem. It fixed the emissions problem for long enough for it to pass emissions. The next year it was tested again with the same problem. The same fix was applied for the next few years. When we moved away from CA we sold the car to my brother in law who discovered what the real problem was.
Really the mandatory checks only guarantee that it's clean for a few minutes, just long enough to pass.
I don't think it's a bad thing either. Multiple projects means that different features and approaches can be tried without getting bogged down in bureaucracy or ideological battles. It keeps one person from having too much say in what should or should not be. If you want to try something but the organization doesn't want to -- no problem -- just fork the project and give it a try.
Since it's open source there isn't anything stopping the different projects from borrowing good idea's from each other. It really is a win-win situation!
Personally I have **ZERO** trust in these sorts of surveys. The people that answer these surveys are self selecting, not a random selection. It only includes people that don't have caller ID, or that are willing to answer the phone from an unknown number, then those that are willing to take the 10 minutes to take the survey. Since this it is not a random selection of the general US public no inferences on the general US public can be made.
Your correct. They put the *form* of government in the Constitution and all the personal rights in the Bill of Rights after the constitution was ratified. So the constitution defines the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government and what they have power to do. The bill of rights defines the rights of the citizens and some of what the government cannot do.
No that's not right you should say: we kill people who murder people. There is a big difference. We don't have the death penalty for accidental killings, or usually even deaths from negligence. Murder is punished by death because those that purposely disregard the sanctity of life of their fellow citizens are dangerous and deemed unfit for society and perhaps even deemed unhuman thus they are put to death (yes killed).
There's a big problems here.
Who will teach the students? They will have to be competent programmers, and competent teachers. This seems unlikely. Schools can't offer a competitive wage so that will throw most competent programmers out of the running. This leaves incompetent programmers and a few competent ones that are willing to accept lower wages because they want to teach. But there is no guarantee that the competent programmer is a competent teacher so that will whittle the pool down further. Finally how can the school administration tell a competent programmer from one that isn't? Like is they cannot. The likely result is that you'll have teachers that cannot program and aren't enthusiastic about it to teach children. This leads to a **bad** experience driving potential programming talent away from the field.
Round is better because the cover cannot fall down the whole no matter how it's oriented. While a square one turned at 45 degrees and on it's side could. Not good for the whoever is down the hole.
You know if they wanted cheap labor perhaps they could offer on the job training to local people and grow their own talent instead of relying on the broken college system. I'll bet they could both afford to create on campus schools. Sure some people wouldn't cut the muster but many would. At least starting they could pay these people less until they prove themselves worth while.
Having no rules is not a free market. A free market consists of the following:
1. Freedom to try. (bring a new or competing product to the market)
2. Freedom to buy.
3. The Freedom to sell.
4. The Freedom to fail (no member of the market is too big to fail.)
Of course there must also be a morality that exists in the market that at the bare minimum includes honesty. You aren't free to buy and sell if you don't trust who you are buying and selling from.
There must also be a lack of force on both the sellers and buyers. You do not have the freedom to sell if you are forced to sell at a certain price, nor do you have the freedom to buy if you are forced to buy.
In absence of this morality of some individuals a government of some sort must regulate to protect the market from those that would perpetuate fraud. That regulation must be in ensuring that force, fraud, and monopoly doesn't exist in the market all of which destroy a free market.

one could take an open source game and modify the graphics so some are light cyan and some are light red. Then you wouldn't be dependent on Ubisoft or this other firm, nor wait for the FDA trails to give it try. Of course do it quietly or you'll have a patent troll on you.
I've had a 3D printer for a little over a year now. And it's a big deal. The very best thing about it is being able to design parts that fit. I had an antique drain where I needed to attach a hose from my furnace. I was able to make a part that fit the hose and the drain cover, replace lost vacuum cleaner parts, an LED flashlight helmet mount, custom clips for easily attaching straps to a caving bag, the list goes on and on.
Currently I'm working on quadcopter frame. Though most of the frame is aluminum angle iron, the engine mounting pieces, legs, electronic platforms are all 3d printed to fit. I'm personally not very great with power tools or other tools for machining, cutting, or carving parts. The 3d printer is far more accurate at placing screw holes and making things the right size than I am. I print it and as long as I designed the parts with the right size it just fits.
Though having a delivery truck that delivered 3d printed parts? I don't see that as being very useful. You don't have the turnaround time if you make a mistake in the design. It'd only be good for pre-designed items not self designed.

So they downloaded the GIMP from Sourceforge I see.
Even if it WAS a real gun, it's not like a Stormtropper can actually hit anything!
Also, I went to that elementary school until mid-year 2nd grade
I must say your grammar is quite good for someone who was kicked out of school half way through the 2nd grade.

people in there ivory towers, ... I mean microwave towers -- trying to be relevant.

There is no doubt that politicians love to use this a leverage to gain more power and control over the lives of the people.

Well, if those bombers could take just one more load of bombs...
Been programming professionally for 18 years and have managed to keep out of the manager roll, where I have no doubt that I'd be truly terrible.
So when was the Apple iNoMoreTatto coming out?

I'd imagine that it would make you "high" as you'd go around screaming like a little girl for the next hour or so.
