Sounds like Torrentfreak needs to drop everything and move their goods to a server in the back of a pickup truck or out at sea somewhere? *innocent look*
I'll take, "Corporations prefer international young and desperate engineers they can lock into five or ten years of indentured servitude for much less money and minimal benefits for $500, Alex."
The problem is a lot of books written for this specific purpose are out of print or lost to the ravages of time. Divers Down! for example, is an excellent book that deals with ocean engineering and mechanical engineering with a story that an 11 or 14 year old is actually going to be able to relate to. Another possibility is "Falling Free" by Lois Mcmaster Bujold which does a good job in orbital welding engineering while also telling an exciting story. Partly, the question is, how sophisticated is the given 11 to 14 year old? Honor students will have been exposed to different types of influences when compared to other students who may be reading at a different level (not to be un PC).
For example, I have a really hard time remembering phone numbers, so I use mathematical rules to aid in memory recall. Like, take my cousin's phone number for instance (not a real number).
The Area code is (516) so I remember that as "Prime" 4^2 or "Prime" 16^1/2. Because I know 5 is a prime and 16 can be squared perfectly. Then the next three numbers are 231, which all happen to be Fibonacci sequence numbers. So I remember that as "FIB."
Finally, the last four digits are 4447, so that translates as 4^3 and a Prime or 7. The point is, part of the insecurity problem is the use of a small number of rules to create the passwords makes them more vulnerable. An additional set of "intermediary rules" could be implemented to make security more personalized and harder to defeat.
Hard? Can I not have the option to solder and re-solder whatever chip I want to the board? What if Intel and AMD are smart enough to just standardize their sockets before they exit the high end market and we get to do whatever it is we want with the pin-outs?
Are there any IEEE standards for software installers for different platforms right now, and if there were, can anyone reference them so as to help the hopelessly clueless start to understand the problems? Thanks.
Huge important place to be for the next ten years. If you can do any sort of database at all you can get a great job at Orbitz or any other type of shop that uses Hadoop.
Go to machine learning meetups in your area, super smart people are in the data science community and they will help you get a job. Our Chicago Machine Learning group is super good for this!
Absolutely, contracting is the way to go! We have a bunch of guys who retired from John Deere to get the benefits and then walked right back in the front door as contractors. If I wasn't interested in running my own business, I'd plan on staying a contrator forever. I love moving every so often. And I don't need health benefits for another ten years or so based on my good genes.
You need to consider and interlocking series of mesh network transponders that your subscribers would pay to rent. That way, you can boucne the signal to them across wide swaths of land without line of site. No need to satellites or other expensive solutions.
"Influencing future technology" isn't really a thing. People are influenced by Slashdot as evidenced by this very nice gentleman and his video. Slashdot is a social space, not a technical workshop.
"Without me, my rifle is useless, without my rifle, I am useless." Making techology into this sort of monolithic, God like entity has always been a major failing in the computer geek culture. You need human's first to have technology. If no one wants to play with your neat toy, it may be very neat, but it may not be very useful.
A confederation is a more loose alliance among independent knowledge professionals. Bargaining would be left up to the individual, but the organization would offer unemployment assurance through Union dues. The best off all possible worlds. Highly Optimal Opportunity Topology. H.O.O.T!
5 + 3 = 8. Beauitful underlying symmetry. Somebody better call Astrid Farnsworth at FRINGE Division. We have a potential anomaly at the Tower! Immediate evac and search.
Please get a clue.. Go to www.ric.org before you jump to a stupid and wrong conclusion. The Ric uses parts from all types of manufacturers. You could say they are the first "open source" prosthetics shop.
He's like the Steve Wozniak of prosthetics.. He's going head to head with Dean Kamen and Deka Labs to build the first humeral prosthetic arm designed specifically to fit a woman.
Won't work.. The wind would take you right off.. It isn't called "the windy city" for nothing. Try the David Foster Wallace story (another deceased former Illinoisan) "Mr. Fudgy."
The great thing about it is that there is no direct neural interface with electrodes in the muscle. Because anything foreign in the body tends to be corroded over time by the immune system. Dr. Kuiken gave a presentation on his technique at last years CHF festival in Chicago. The idea is for the nerves to fire and to be detected by sensors placed on the skin on order to move. I expect the good doc to perfect a "Hechatonchires" full body prothesis any decade now. Appleseed, here we come.

So I can play around with a part in http://freecadweb.org/ without caring about the measured tolerances.

Exactly, when morons sue you, always do what the morons want. Why do you have to stop making the "metalAWESOME?"
I love "metalAWESOMES." It's like "liquidAWESOME" (Beer) only made of metal.

Sorry.. 'Unemployment insurance" malapropism.

"The Tower" refuses to acknowledge it's "slave name!" Power to the PEOPLE! Word.

I love the "Tower formerly know as Sears!' People just don't understand the Tower, yo! It's a Chicago thing.. It's "the Tower" now for short.
