When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.
HKG shops, especially those that ripoff designs and manufactures in mainland do not believe in websites. Anyway, when you're on a trip just make sure you visit the street. It's directly above Shum Shui Po MTR (subway) station. Anything ripped off, we got it:) The quality isn't too bad either. I was into this last year as I was looking for gears for aerial videos. You can check out my youtube:)
More like Hong Kong but anyway, we already have it. You just gotto come here to get it. If you plan a trip to Hong Kong, search up Ap Liu Street and you'll be in heaven.
I've seen my parents cook, they do not concentrate at all. Usually listening to the radio, dancing, or watching tv at the same time. Yet I didn't taste errors.
I've seen myself playing CS, or Street Fighter 2. I never concentrate when playing games as it's a mean of relaxation for me to pwn some noobs. Yet I constantly head shots.
I didn't RTFA, but after the headline I was thinking, "so what?". Have you ever had errors in your life where it changes your behavior, and made you a better person overall later? Had errors that cost you your job, and made you find a better one that pays double?
This is just fsking weird to me. I don't see where this could be applied, where the error occurred can be so great, that the person wasn't paying enough attention in the first place. If I was a fireman, I don't think I would listen to horse races while fighting a fire.
I am 34 yo. I've been through your dilemma. And it is great that you told us you're still in highschool AND reading slashdot. I wish the internet was there when I had this choice. Anyway. Let me break it down real short:
1. You're dedicated, you know your major and you want it bad enough to carry through. You don't care about anything else but being a programmer in the end.
Go LA. Since you're focused anyway you could probably learn stuff on your own anyway. Yes it's true you learn better with smart people around you, but LA has more chicks.
2. You want CS, but you're not a very dedicated person. You want CS because that is you best interest is CS.
Go LA. If you're not dedicated enough, going to a prestigious tech school eat you alive. You'll be the bottom pile of slime in class. Where as in LA course, you'll look better being the 6th of the 12th. Oh don't forget, LA chicks better.
3. You want CS, but you're not a very dedicated person. You want CS because you think that's the most probable thing for you to put food on the table AFTER you graduated.
Go LA. You'll end up failing CS anyway. CS is for those people who're dedicated, do their homework, or have a vast interest in the subject. Even if they have to take a quiz in hunger, they do it. F! the future, you might get cancer.
4. You don't like chicks.
Go Tech and we welcome you here in 4 years.

Hope you see what I am getting at. I went to U of Toronto. I was accepted in UofW, UofT, and York U with scholarships in York but not the other 2. In the Electrical Engineering program. I flunked it 2nd year, went to CS, flunk it immediately, suspended for 6 months, go try some LA, graduated in Philosophy. Now I am a graphic designer.
btw. I am No. 3 up there. And I know a lot of 1 2 3 and 4's. Nobody ever care about my resume. It's the interview , and WHAT YOU DID, that matters. Your employer knows your paper doesn't matter. He was there. Good luck man.
Good for you sir. That's exactly my thoughts although I've never flown first class, I noticed that if I prepare myself I can at least make the coach seating a little bit better, both for myself and others. I fly at least once every year from hong kong to toronto. The nastiest long flight you can get.
Every time I unload my change, keys, mp3 players, nds, cameras, belt, keys, change, mp3 players.. at the security check, the people looks at me weird like, "wtf you bringing all these for? keep them in the bag you moron." I just ignore them and watch them fumble and drops their laptop onboard.
I see others like me, and sometimes we exchange smiles while we read a book at the gate. Be prepared people, there's no excuse if this is your second time! Oh don't forget that pen!
Thank you for clarifying and understanding what I was trying to say:) "Designated work" is such a limiting concept. If I was living in such a world, I wouldn't know what to with the BA degree..
You obviously haven't shot an SLR. The beauty of old cameras or even the new DSLRs where you have to stick your eye up to the VF is that no one else would be able to tell what you're shooting at the time the shutter's fired. Very nice for candids.
Completely agreed, but will our theoretical physicist Bob (you have to love it to do it) bring home his work and share with his dog that has zero interests in the subject? Or will he stay in the lab 16 hours a day and only feed the dog to keep it alive?
The question remains. Heck there are even family businesses where all family members work together. But when little timmy want to watch a clip of Transformers, will daddy bother him with a reminder to buy more corn for tomorrow?
No matter how much you love your work, when you're skiing or driving (or reading your love ones bed time stories), don't think about it.
I must applause you sir. This is exactly the attitude I take towards work.
However in my experience I see 2 kinds of people that would bring their work home and think about it even when they're sleeping:
1. He does not have hobbies, dogs, wife, car, shows he wanted to catch on TV, no prison break, nothing. Thinking about work gives him meaning and an existence.
2. He is messed up on prioritizing his life. He has a dog, a wife, a car, TNG to watch, but he chose to think about work and ignore all the other things because he thinks work pays the bills. Work sustain his house and dogs. Work keeps the family alive and therefore work gives life. It's like working 24/7 sustaining that Ferrari that you'll never have enough time to drive until you're 60 and can't see no more to drive it.
Depending on types of industry, if I am in the servicing or innovative sector, I wouldn't want to hire anyone like that. If you're just sewing jeans, maybe. But think about the "livelihood" this guy will bring to the team.

Bicycles track you!

"but once people leave school, that learning becomes a voluntary matter that's largely driven by individual taste."
What's wrong with having education voluntary and driven by your own taste? Is that what makes us interesting individuals and not some Gattaca?
That's only in the Soviet Russia version Lucas has planned. There, fixed.
Ow... ouch... doh! ow.. oo.. ow...
just turn on the new light, honey.
What light?
that, lift up the weight, let go, and it'll turn on!
Where is it?

Well I've always treated this vibrating tool as an extension of someone else's body. But It's made in Soviet Russia so I guess it's fine.
When they fly in regular air space, UAVs avoid you.
Not in Soviet Russia.
