1. Who wants to buy a book that you can't read on "the throne"? (You know what I mean).
2. I doubt an e-book will ever take enough internet audience away from the almighty pr0n.
Is it just me, or does anyone else get irritated hearing the new idiot buzzwords that come out every week? (Such as eXtreme Programmming?)
Some of us are hard working, college educated computing professionals, not dim-witted adolescents with the urge to jump off of a cliff without a parachute. We need to take our field or work back from every idiot that can put the three brain cells together required to write a stupid book, or to introduce a brand new moronic buzzword.
(Ok, I'll get off my soapbox, you can now mod me to -1000 loser-troll-flame-bait)
I was working at a Dot-Bomb that I knew was soon to go under. I accepted a job at a company that has been in business for 25+ years. Admittedly, I am making a little less (4K) than what I was making at the dot-bomb, but the pay covers all of my expenses plus some.
The problem was, when I left the old job, many of my coworkers were laughing at me for leaving a very sweet counter-offer behind. Three of those people just asked me for a job, given that the dot-bomb just missed their rent payment.
Bottom line is, company stability means a lot more than big paychecks in this economy.

When are we going to find the planet that is inhabited by beautiful women who love scientists, engineers, and computer geeks?
