If you NEED a senior person and don't have 1-2 mid-level positions that are learning what they need to be senior developers at your shop, you are probably doing it wrong. And 1-2 junior developers for each mid-level position. If we continue to not train and mentor and teach from the junior level on up, we are not going to HAVE any senior developers.
The only way this would affect my retention at a company is if they went to the open office layout after I had already started working there, because there is no way in hell I would take a job where I am expected to do my coding in an open office environment. Cubes are bad enough, an open office would just kill all of my productivity.
The United States tax payers are going to foot the bill for this if it happens. Apple is allowed to bill the F.B.I. for reasonable costs. So we get to pay for our own screwing.
Android studio (http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html) is your friend. I am a hard core vs user (hey, it pays the bills) and was tasked with whipping up a proof of concept android application. Android Studio made it every bit as easy as using vs. And on the plus side I get to work with Java again (call me odd but I kinda like that language).
I process data from the Hubble and also from the ESO Southern Observatory. And that images (and hence data) from the Hubble are still very much clearer than what the ESO SO can take. Not having to look through an ocean of air makes a huge difference.
I think it should make a difference if that famous person is doing something that the government totally paid for. The camera used, the space suit, the ride up were all financed by all of us, so any of us should be able to use any of the images for whatever we want.
Although it isn't actually looking at the objects with your own telescope, all of the data that the Hubble Space Telescope creates is free to the public. To use the data you will need a copy of Adobe Photoshop, but once you have that it can be great fun to create the same sort of images you see from the Hubble Heritage site. To use the data (that you get in fits format) in Photoshop, you need to download the "Fits Liberator" from the http://www.spacetelescope.org/ site (check the projects tab). You can then get the data from http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/search.php (you will have to create an account).
As someone who processes Hubble data for viewing (I am working on one right now), pretty much every image you see like the ones he show are "enhanced". They are taken through (generally) 3 narrow band filters for nebulae, and 3 wide band for galaxies. If you check his images, he even shows what filters he used.
And NASA isn't the only group putting out viewable Hubble images. The ESA publishes quite a few (which get published through the Hubble Heritage site). Check out www.spacetelescope.org. The lovely full view of Orion was done by them.
I don't pirate to "try before you buy". I pirate because I can't afford the software, and I need it (want it?). But, I have purchased 3 rather high dollar 3D graphics programs that I pirated. I purchased them because I liked them, and when I managed to get the cash together, I wanted to make sure that the company that made them got some of my scratch. Sure, I could have only stuck with what I could afford at the time, but then I would only be using Truespace, and the other 3 companies (Truespace was what turned me on to graphic art, me and my brother purchased it back in 96, the other three I pirated before I purchased) would not have gotten any money out of me.
So to say it is total bullshit is not correct. Some of us really do purchase the software we pirate first. It just takes awhile.
The Mars rovers have not shown that they can do space research far better than humans. If we would have had a manned mission on Mars for the last 4 years, we would know much, much more than we do now.
The rovers have just shown that that robotic missions are cheaper.
I used to work in a uranium mine is south-western Colorado. There are still many, many mines there that have lots of uranium in them. It just isn't economical to mine them as we don't really use that much uranium. If we built more power plants and the price came up, those mines would open.
I had this idea last week, but I don't know if anyone is willing to try it. Instead of netflix, have tuneflix or something, where you can rent any cd you want, up to 3 a week for a fixed price, etc.
I would hope that would drive one more nail in the coffin of the RIAA. Why buy when you can rent and burn at what ever bitrate you want? If I had any cash at all, I would sure as heck do it.
Check out http://www.spacetelescope.org/ to see some of what the ESA does. They have lots of images from the Hubble and other cool stuff on their site (although I have to admit I am kind of prejudiced about the ESA as I do some side work on image processing for them).
I know this is a bit off-topic, but has anyone else thought that the separate price for different grades of gasoline in the USA (I am not sure how it is in other countries) is a load of crap? Here, it has remained at 10cents a gallon difference, no matter if the cost of a gallon of gas is 1.89 or 3.24. Since the cost of making something is proportional (i.e., 78% is from the wholesale price, 12% is distribution, 10% resellers mark-up) the straight 10cents difference doesn't make any sense. The only way it would make sense is if the was a different amount of taxes on different grades, which I don't think there is.
The M-theory (multiverse) has shown how the big bang happened (probably) , and what caused it (probably). It also allows scientists to work the numbers back to before the big bang (through the singularity). The Science Channel had a great show on last night about it. They will probably show it again in the future if you are truly interested.
You can download and view/edit/make pretty pictures with the raw data from the Hubble yourself if you want (Photoshop 7.0 at least required). Go to the stsci archive and check the "HST: ASC" box, and in the target box enter "V838-MON". Follow the directions from the search page to get the data (you will need to register with the mast association). Then, go here (the European homepage for the Hubble) and download the necessary files.
When you have the raw data, you can process it to your heart's content. To check out some of the possible images that can be created, go to my fits images page.
Most of the really nice Hubble shots come from the HST WFPC2, so use that to search for other things (like M16).
Just because an employee is salaried, does most assuredly NOT mean they are on the clock 24/7. They are still only paid for 40 hours per work, or at least, that is the way it was supposed to work.
Nothing in our culture appears "out of thin air". The way you think, the things you belive, they are all influenced by the people who raised you. Sure, if you were raised by rabbits in the forest, you may not belive in "right" or "wrong", but if you are raised in a society with other people, you will have these concepts. Religion did not invent right and wrong, they just codified it for so people in power (the Priest, or Shamen, or Witchdoctor) could use right and wrong to gain personal power. So, to a large extent, I believe in the same things as people who I was raised with when it comes to what is right and what is wrong, I just don't happen to belive that I need to be a good boy because if I don't, I will burn in some mythical hell for all eternity. I do it because for me, it is the "right" thing to do.

It isn't "NASA's" telescope. It is a joint venture between the ESA and NASA.

Is your company hiring? :)
Ah, but don't you know, all YouTube music is pirated. Even the butterflies.

No, if you don't pay your taxes, they will come to you and tell you that if you don't pay what they think you now owe, you will go to jail.
Had a good friend who's dad went to the pokie for this.

Just my 10cents worth.

With the price of heating oil, my computers produce the only heating that I have.
