No, but teachers get about 3 months vacation a year. Which is more than just about any other profession I can think of. Also, Nurses (In Canada) earn $65,000 â" $75,000 a year, which is a pretty decent wage. The average RN salary in the US is $67,930. Also, those are just base salaries, and nurses actually get plenty of overtime if they choose to work for it and can often end up making over 100k a year.
If you ask me, the people who are the suckers are the guys working IT jobs 60 hours a week and not getting any compensation for the extra hours.
The only Drop-outs you see in the tech industry are people who dropped out because they got too busy managing a company they created themselves. The quality of developers is bad enough even among those who graduated. The people who couldn't even be bothered to finish their degree and then have to send out resumes looking for jobs are even worse off.
Your best bet is to complete your degree and do interneships or co-op placements to get real world experience. In addition, you should be working on your own personal projects in your spare time so that you actually understand how to do software development by the time you graduate. It may sound like a lot of work, but if you only depend on what they teach you in class, you will get out of school with very few marketable skills.
As far as the IT guys are concerned, even if you aren't "installing" the application, simply running any unapproved applications on a machine you are still breaking the rules. There isn't really a difference between install a program using a.MSI file and copying the files onto you hard disk (or even plugging in a USB drive) and running it. You're still breaking IT policy by using non-approved software on a work machine.
[This discussion](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2180465/can-domain-name-subdomains-have-an-underscore-in-it) on StackOverflow seems to disagree with that statement. I don't really understand the specifics of it and don't really have time to delve into them right now, but the basics are that while using an underscore is illegal in a host name, it is not illegal to use one in a domain name (I'm not sure of how the difference is discerned here). I'm not saying you're wrong, but it seems like there is conflicting opinions out there as to whether or not the underscore is a valid character for a domain name.
I cannot and will not recommend or use Paint.Net until they get rid of the "ads" on their home page and download page that have a giant green "start download" button on them. Having such a blatantly misleading ad on your website is just unacceptable. I can settle for them not actually having the "paint.net" domain name and yet still calling their product paint.net, but the ads just take it one step too far. I understand that ad blockers exist, but any site that makes ad-blockers such a requirement does not get my usage and recommendation.
The minimum CPU on those boxes is 80W. You'll pay a lot for your power bill in the long run over going for something like an i3 mini PC from AliExpress. Not only are those servers huge, but they also create a whole lot of noise.
If FOSS does the job for you, then you are fine to go ahead and use it for free. but personally I find that OpenOffice just doesn't cut it. It's missing too many key features and just isn't polished enough for my tastes. Even without the troubles incurred when it comes to sharing documents with other computer users, OpenOffice still doesn't meet my needs.
While you may be right, maybe most people just think it's a better model for paying for software. I can get Office for my entire family (up to 5 people) for only $100 a year. Considering how much this would have cost with the old 1 Licence = 1 Computer method of pricing, it's actually much more cost effective to just pay $100 a year and always have your software up to date.
Businesses also get a pretty good deal at about $10-$15 a month depending on the extras that you want, but even at $10 a month, you get the full office suite.
It may not be the best deal in every situation, but I bet if you did a cost analysis, you would find that it's actually cheaper to pay a subscription, provided you always wanted the newest version. Always having the newest version does come with a lot of benefits.
Maybe it's just my bad luck, but I've tried to switch to Linux a few times, and there's always something that doesn't work the way it should. Sometimes it's wireless drivers, sometimes video drivers, or just other random stuff. I had one laptop that technically had everything working but for some reason the battery life was very diminished when running Linux.
The only place I seem to be able to get it working consistently well is on VirtualBox.I could switch to Linux by going out and buying a new computer that I know is 100% working, but I'd rather not have to buy a whole new computer simply to switch to Linux, especially since I don't really like it in general anyway, and I'd still need to run Windows for a few programs.
I would switch to Linux, but there just seems to be quite a few things that are missing. Open/Libre Office is not a replacement for MS Office, especially when it comes to Excel. I'm not a very advanced user, and I still find OpenOffice quite lacking. I'm fine with using GIMP for image editing, but I need a better office suite.
Is is really necessary to have an "acting head of state" just because the queen isn't in the country? It's not 1867 anymore. The Queen can easily be reached by telephone, email, or many other electronic means if she is needed. She could even fly and be here in a matter of hours if she needed to be. It's closer from Canada to London (Gander NL to London - 3800 KM) than it is from one end of Canada to the other (Gander NL to Vancouver, 4813 KM).
I wonder if more web applications will ever go the route of just downloading an "App". You can provide a much better experience to end users by providing an App on their device of choice. You can visit Facebook on your mobile browser, but I'm pretty sure the vast majority of users who use Facebook on their phone choose to do so through the official App. Same goes for many popular websites such as Twitter, Reddit, and most banking applications. I've even started using an App (Readit) to browse Reddit on my Windows desktop.
Web sites are fine for things where you only spend a couple minutes a day using them. They definitely have their advantages, and are great for sending link to people where you know they'll be able to see the content that you see. I don' think you'll ever see web sites completely disappear. But for many web applications, it would make much more sense to just develop a full app that communicates with an online server rather than try to shoehorn so much functionality into the browser.
Also, if they block VPNs, then the people will just start tunnelling over SSH. Can they block all VPN an SSH connections? That would basically disable a huge portion of the internet.
In Canada everybody is required to take french up until grade 9 as a regular course. About 40 minutes a day of french, from kindergarten up to grade 8, and a full course in grade 9. Even after all that, the actual number of people who can hold a conversation in french is quite low among those who didn't grow up in a french family or didn't take more extensive french immersion classes.
What's interesting is that Windows 10 S is supposed to only run apps from the store. So by finding a way for it to run ransomware, they have also found a way for it to run basically any other piece of software. Personally, I don't know why MS thinks it's a good idea to limit the software that runs on a machine. Windows RT failed for a reason. People want to be able to run whatever software they like.
That's simply because they have the best search engine. People are free to use whichever search engine they want, and there is no pain in switching except for the inferior results you will receive from other search engines. This isn't the same as a browser or OS where they are somehow locking you into the search engine. Using a different search engine is extremely simple. If you could force people to use a search engine then MS would have the dominant position with Bing. But people are simply choosing the best.
Funny that Freedom Mobile says that they are against unlock fees. When I got a new phone about a month back, they told me there would be a fee to unlock the phone. Likely they don't want other carriers to charge to unlock their phones to make it easier for customers to switch to their system. However, they are doing the exact same thing.
The whole reason there are locks in the first place is that the cell phone is usually paid for as part of the monthly bill. Putting a lock on it gives some assurance that the carrier will receive whatever money they are owed as part of the contract before the customer moves on to a new carrier.
Why not just make a single standard NFC Pay that any phone with NFC can implement? We already have Android Pay. What is the advantage of having LG Pay vs. Android Pay on an LG phone that already has Android installed? I have a Samsung phone that supposedly supports Samsung Pay, but I've never even configured it as I don't think I've seen a single store that advertises accepting Samsung Pay.
Well, I think the whole idea is crazy. If people aren't allowed to carry them on, and they surely don't want to trust them to the baggage throwers, how are they supposed to bring a laptop with them on a business trip? Can people still bring their phones on the flight? How is a phone any different than a computer really? It's just a tiny computer. Can people bring phones, and bluetooth keyboards, and portable USB C monitors? You could basically bring all the components of a laptop on the plane without actually bringing any single item that actually qualifies as a laptop.
I even have Google nagging me to install it on my Surface 2 with Windows RT, even though they don't have a version of Chrome that works with this tablet.
Apart from a power meter on a bicycle, you are probably right. It really hard to get a good estimate of calories burned without actually being able to measure how much work the person is doing. The heart rate is only very loosely correlated with how much work somebody is doing. Heart rate can be changed by a number of factors, many of which have little to do with how many calories you are burning. Power meters on bikes are a whole other story, because they can actually measure how much physical work you are doing, and will be able to measure calories burned within some reasonable level of accuracy. Even, then, you probably need to develop a base line, as each person will expend a varying amount of energy to produce the same output.
It's only malformed and difficult to parse because people aren't using proper libraries for those processes. Every significant language out there has good libraries for reading and writing XML. There is no reason to have malformed XML in 2017.
I guess you've never heard of the.Net Micro Framework. Java also supports embedded systems. Java us actually quite common on embedded devices and they've actually made processors that interpret the Java Bytecode at the hardware level.
The bigger question is why they have set codes at all. There are only a set number of people on each flight who might need to access the cockpit. They should really just have the pilots set a code before anybody else boards the plane, and have the relevant people notified of the code before the flight. Even better if the code is random generated by a computer.
But think about the latency. Sure you can get a lot of data across the country if you fill a train full of harddrives, but you can't use a solution like this to stream Netflix, or upload a video to Youtube.
