Minimum MUST HAVE requirements:
5 Years Oracle
5+ Years Windows System Admin
5 years Help Desk
5 years Citrix
7 Years C++, VB, (and a few others)
Salary Range: $20,000 - $25,000/year (Canadian)
I am from Canada as well (west), this is defintely an exception not the norm. Tier-one help desk is about $12-$15/hour doing app/desktop support and mind-numbing password resets.
True, that why a buddy of mine always volunteer to do documentation (class diagrams, proposal, any paper work) whenever he is doing group assignments. He hates programming and can't program, he only finished computer science because he was 2 years in and did not want to waste the credits he took(he was also doing a dual degree in Economics as well). By volunteering doing documentation he was able to survive group evaluation.
While you are at it, don't forget to boycott google as well. -stop using their search -stop clicking on their ad -stop using their services
Wake up. Vote with your wallet. By buying into Google you are endorsing its business methods and ethics. Software is simply another tool and in no way exempt from the standards of behavior that we expect from other tool makers.
As not-so-new(1.5y)comp-sci/seng grad who is stuck on the support/network tech path. You should feel lucky you got a job without looking AND now you came out with 1 year of commercial dev experience.
have fun doing some real job-searching:)
probably because they do not want to get into a distro war. Include ubuntu and fedora people will whine, include fedora and mandrake people will whine and so on.
From an end-user's point of view, an OS can be a technological wonder but if it doesn't run apps they need then it's junk/useless. End-user doesn't care about linux vs windows, all they want is something that will allow them to maintain maximum productivity.
Big push for linux not likely...
Regular home users will continue to use their OS unpatched. Most home users I know, my parents, friends, friends' parents,will not switch to linux because linux is still lacking in many areas(other than email & web surfing, they do a bit more than that). Eg it still missing quicken/quickbook type of software (my parents), easy install games that works right + music software(brother)
now I think about it, the only potential user that would be satisfied will be my sister, all she does on a pc is surf the web/IM/Word
Canadians agreed to a fully bilingual country where everyone speaks both languages.
Where does the law say that?
French skill is nice to have but not required AFAIK.
People want stuff to be FREE, so unless CD cost $0,
people will still pirate...
As for that "TRY BEFORE YOU BUY" thing, most of the song downloaded for "TRY" purposes either end up on a cd "backup" or hd for couple of month.
CAN'T AFFORD? => DON'T BUY => Price go down if no one buys

"..........(They are already bored to death with XP anyway) ........"
Regular users don't get bored with XP, geeks or techies do.
Regular users may explore new things they can do with their PC, such as editing photos, create videos, play music. Defintely not switching OS.

Did he try "Open and Repair" in Word? This often fix the issue and no OOo install required.

Again it's true. Most Chinese family think dishwasher does not do a good job.
actually it's just protection from dirty hands, nothing more.
less oil but real WMD.

Still someone has to purchase the advertised product or service, or else why would an advertiser throw $$$ with 0% of return?

First thing I noticed with OS X is there is no CUT option. Therefore I can't cut/paste files like I am used to in Windows.
What a troll, parent is talking about OS X not the old Mac OS.
saving private ryan :)
Just find a server with good admin and become a regular.
Cheaters are easy to spot.
if you can't afford it, don't use it.
