  1. Also in Genesee County Soon. on County-Wide Wireless To Be Deployed in Michigan · · Score: 1

    http://www.wirelessgenesee.com/news.html Michigan will be all nice and wireless and then, everyone will move out to find a job. Its great to have free wireless, but if you don't have a job then who cares?!

  3. Re:Software Engineer on Software Engineers Ranked Best Job in America · · Score: 1

    HAA! I'd like to meet this software engineer. I've been doing this for the better part of 10 years. "It will all be done on schedule, and within budget." My Ass. we all know that the specifications have changed. The time line grew, and the budget was too low to begin with.

  4. Re:Engineer != Engineering Degree on Software Engineers Ranked Best Job in America · · Score: 1

    I am in the same boat.

    i have no degree.

    my title is senior software engineer.

    Whats the problem? oh. i remember, people who went to college think they're smarter, and are jealous i didn't waste 50k to learn how to write software and think.

    Sorry but being an engineer isn't about a piece of paper, anyone who thinks that... isn't an engineer.

  5. Re:Answer: Cloning on The New Face Lift · · Score: 1

    minus the cost of having to feed and house our clone, and then the clone's own desire to bump uglies etc. Perhaps organ harvesting isn't the best idea... unless we clone hotties... then i'm okay with it, provided they have no free will etc etc.

    thats what i was left wondering too. if they're interviewing men and women to be faced, i would assume an endless supply of faces coming from somewhere?

  10. The real problem.. on Computer Science Curriculum in College · · Score: 1

    is people are stupid. You can go to a class that teaches theory. or you can go learn how to strictly code. which one is better and will turn out the better programmer? Neither. I have a combination of both, college theory and my own learning. The problem with on your own, is people only care about the "RIGHT NOW" idea.. the "I need to learn this because it's what I need to complete this task", then it's added to their basket of tricks. The problem with the theory students? it's all they've got. they know about some douche-bag that make some theory that they try to make everything fit into. My way of thinking, either you've got the analytical and logical processes to do the job, or you don't. Just because you can get a degree in the field doesn't mean you're really cut out for it. The degree just gets you in the door. But that's me, and I just happen to hate people. Degree's don't impress me, and never will... exceptional thinking, creativeness, and the like are impressive, and colleges don't teach people how to do that. They just teach you regurgitation processes.

    yea, seriously, you should be able to snag one... talk to your boss, tell him it would make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. It would be worth the fight.

  12. Re:Fire-Fox - Acid2 test? on Windows Guru Calls For IE7 Boycott · · Score: 1

    i highly doubt it. how many boycotts do you know of that actually make a change? besides UAW sit down strikes and things of that nature in general boycotts don't do shit. I'm rather let down that firefox doesn't even render this acid2 test. If it's such a big flipping deal that M$ make their browser comply with it, and the "best browser in the world" doesn't ?? how is that fair. No matter what IE will blow... so who are we fooling putting all this effert into a boycott.

    imagine that, the company isn't taking time to waste R&D for a product they don't make.

    It makes a great deal of scense to me.

    You know the in's and out's of your own product. You can optimize code for your product, why should they have to optimize code for someone else's product? Maybe that company should be writing their own compilers?

    Are people really that lazy? Why do the companies that _MAKE_ money get fucked over? because the little companies that only went into business to get a CHUCK of that money, are mad they're not getting enough... Fuck 'em.

    It's like putting a fence around your house. your protect your assests.
