And I'll just bet that your bank didn't understand and reduce your mortgage by a third either. These stupid pay cuts would be ok if they'd just cut the cost of living as well.
Heck- according to that I'm $10,000 from where I should be on this job alone. But then again- I'm contracting with State Government, so that is to be expected.
So much so that I think the government needs a few dozen blogs for cross-checking the CIA. Maybe next time a blog from an Iraqi scientist will show us that WMD is a lie before we go to war.
Most of the techs I work with do also- at least I never have to see a customer face to face (unless they're within walking distance). I actually am kind of enjoying this job- just wish I had enough pay to let my wife stay home with the kid is all (and yes- going permanent with the state would allow that).
Would be fine- but if you look at the latest EV website- Kerry is in the lead, not Bush. I wasn't aware they were using the other polls much- for my state (Oregon) the few times they've used other polling systems the race has been a LOT closer- even though everybody I know, including several Republicans, are voting for Kerry.
Industries: Gaming- 2 years Health Care- 2 years Manufacturing-.5 years Accounting- 1.5 years Help Desk-.75 to 4 years, depending if you count the odd jobs I did to stay alive during the 26 months unemployed (which were mainly tech support calls for small businesses, schools, and homes).
No single job ever lasted more than 2 years- and getting a raise when moving jobs stopped back in 1998. You've got to remember- IT/Programming/HelpDesk in Oregon has been basically in a depression for 4-5 years now, and it's not likely going to get any better soon.
On the plus side, it's given me an oportunity to grow as a person. I now understand the working poor, and the shitty position of working hard but not being able to afford health care. Like 40 million other people. And I'm back (like my userID suggests) to dreaming up ways out, both for myself and for others.
Oh, I never stopped looking. Right now, I'm learning Cold Fusion to add to the rest to see if I can get on permanent with the state. It's still lower than private industry- but it will be an instant $8000/year raise. Plus benefits. I also keep my resume out there.
My big mistake was believing in first the promise of.coms, and second in the promise of consulting. I'm never going to trust *any* employer ever again- they're all liars.
Right now it's IT, mainly, with some programming on the side. I tried for 26 months to find a job- and this was the best I could do. The result (temping for the state, no benefits) is what fuels my hatred of the incompetence I see around me in private industry. Don't these gadget companies know that most of their customers come from the people who designed their products, and that by laying off workers they're killing their consumer market?
Like changing jobs is possible- it took me 26 months to get THIS one! But yes, sorely underpaid for my skill set- but then again, in the current position I'm barely using my skill set.
What about the ones with 10-12 years of experience that were laid off for 2+ years and still have to relocate to take on an entry level job? Sometimes the strongest get hit at random too.
With the result of fewer people actually working. If they'd factor in all the people now earning $0 or minimum wage with their CS degree, it would make more sense.
This explains *SO* much about why HP has changed from a technically innovative company to a supplier of printer ink that had to buy Compaq instead of actually improve the technically superior Jornada.
Much like the science club in the original article- extra-curricular, not part of mainstream studies, and stuff the kids might enjoy. These kids are already science geeks- even if they're still at the "Bill Nye The Science Guy" stage.
Ok, yeah, better yet. Except- the Indian Ocean (where our support vessels for the Gulf navy, involved in Iraqi operations) are a heck of a lot closer to Taiwan than they are to the West Coast of the United States- the Pacific being much larger than the Atlantic.
1. Set an ADODB Recordset 2. Open recordset with select statement for tables with the totals in them. 3. rs(fieldforcandidate)=new total 4. rs.update 5. rs.close
Or better yet, if you have a copy of access with you, skip the stupid script, open Access, and simply change whatever totals you want to.
I ran a 4-H computer club at one time, that started with 4th graders, about 9-10 years old. Flowcharting was the FIRST thing we taught them- then BASIC (a real challenge in the early 1980s as we had computers from 12 different manufacturers, each with their own command for "clear the screen"). By the end of the year, programming was accomplished and blue ribbons were earned for a variety of basic text adventure games. If-then-else is quite easy to teach at that age, as is string processing.
That is not true of Christianity in general as the Bible makes no mention of that.
Which is why I mentioned the Evangelicals in particular. I could have gone further- this is a uniquely AMERICAN Evangelical-Fundamentalist dream that merely by praying the sinner's prayer, you are saved. It goes so far as to be a contest: those who get other people to pray the sinner's prayer are called SoulWinners, and slightly different denominations and individuals compete on the number of "souls" that they "win" for Christ. Morally, this is no different from the Feeneyite Heresy in the Catholic Church, where individuals competed with money and good works to gain indulgences and lessen their time in purgatory (at least, until Vatican II came along and finally, on the third try, wiped out the sale of indulgences forever).
Only if you're looking at the incredibly biased Gallup Poll. Electoral-Vote which uses the more scientific Zogby poll mainly, actually shows Kerry in the lead by 16 electoral votes as of September 22. (I checked yesterday- and Bush was ahead by about 20 votes yesterday). However, like I said, WAY more than 20 votes are still up for grabs- this could still be anybody's race.
Oh, and as for foreign policy blunders- it will be hard for Bush to top the blunder that Iraq has turned into. 15,000 dead so far between Iraq and US sides, more than three times the number killed in the 9-11 attack. So in addition to failing on winability and reaction, Iraq now also fails the Just War Theory Tests on Porportionality.
Because that is most certainly what is happening. You should have seen the discussions in the union groups before somebody pointed out that if we did THAT to the corporations, high tech unions would end up going the way of the IWW.

I wish that were so comrade- but I fear my wages are going to the bourgeois swine who are paying less in taxes because I am working so cheap. :-)

I live in Beaverton, OR- and you're right. My $42,000 salary here is worth $57k in San Diego. Or $43,500 in New York City, Bronx.

Yep, theory makes sense and fits the facts.

Meanwhile, computer science graduates make $49,036 a year, a gain of 4.1 percent.
Got to be an average- I've got my Bachelor's of Software Engineering, and I'm only making $42,000/year after 10 years of experience.

Actually, capitalism and consumerism aren't that bad- as long as you don't have the unholy union of government that is the corporation.
