Here is my very local observation: In the Seattle area I spoke with many women between the ages of 18 to 30, with an educational background ranging from GED to Ph.D., and they all felt that the best security for the country was voting for an AWOLie (who should have stood a court-martial) named Bush and his draft-dodging buddy, Uncle Dick Cheney. They unanimously felt there was no way Roe v. Wade would ever be overturned. I warned them they were ignorant and bet them it would, indeed, be overturned before Bush's term was over. With Roberts probable nomination to the Supreme Court (who supports the criminalization of birth control, for crying into your latte) it is almost guaranteed. Of course, Washington state went for Kerry, but those women I spoke with truly scared the crap out of me.....
Who cares? Please recall that the FBI went to the American Muslim Council (also known as the American chapter of the Osama bin Laden Fan Club) to vet those Muslim translator/contractors the military used. Not that I'm a present day fan of the "I'm killing those innocents in the name of national security" defense establishment.
I realize MS patents every speech given by any of its employees (just in case they actually said something original - go figure!!!!), but seriously, this is the outfit that licenses everyone else's innovative tech and then unethically Borg's it into their operating systems AND THEN starts that software foundation to halt sofware piracy - when obviously they are the biggest single software pirate on the planet.
The corollary, of course, being if you are one of the Bush boys (George, Jeb and Ned) you are guilty (and let's not forget Karl Rove, natch) of EVERYTHING, you have nothing to fear.
I applied to the TSA (I think that's Transporation Security Administration, but who knows or cares anymore) last August and within 6 hours I received a rejection e-mail.
So much for veterans' preference and experience (plus some military medals add a few more points). Evidently they keep a record of negative e-mails sent to the president.......
As someone who was on the scene when John Draper figured out that Cap'n Crunch thing, and usually keeps current - when in the hell did Kaminsky earn the sobriquet of "hacker"?
I strongly suggest you read over her last 10 to 20 speeches. Her problem is that she is getting far too "centrist" in today's terminology (i.e., neocon)
Philippines' prez came later but you are right on India and Indira Ghandi - I didn't include her as she became a dictator for awhile - which to my mind - erases her time as prez.
No, dim bulb (I can see why that USA Today article about the improvement of reading skills among the young is something to be heralded - while their older teenage and 20-something brethen are still illiterate) - Does anyone on this site have any reading comprehension skills?????
The point is he has (along with other corps) hired a tremendous number of Pakistani Muslim replacement workers - and in case you haven't read a newspaper in the last 5 years - that is the primary terrorist pool - in the US, in Europe, etc.
Man oh man - you must have had real problems with math in school. That was a similar string of logic - not a pissing match on computer science knowledge - and as an architect of some of the original tecomm systems, my knowledge probably far exceeds both your minimal intel and experience base. I promise never to waste time on your posts ever again, Sheesh!
This entire topic has moved me to compose my own poem to Bill:
Bill, you are wonderful because your mother was a close friend of IBM CEO Akers who gave you the DOS licensing (biggest cash cow in history of mankind);
Bill, you are wonderful because you hired Tim the programmer to copy Gary Kildall's CPM and call it DOS;
Bill, you are wonderful because your uncle was VP of First Interstate Bank which magically gave your company it's financing
Dude, that was like the second country on the planet to have a woman president (I believe the first was Israel and the third and fourth were the U.K. and Turkey. Anyone see any women presidents here (and with Hillary going neocon with her comments on pro-life and support of mass offshoring of American tech jobs - I don't see one in the near future).
When I was 9 I was building the computer, then programming it in assembler and Fortran. What's the big deal - that she's yet another Pakistani Muslim replacement worker - or that she's below the minimum age - which normally doesn't stop MS from hiring.....
Reminds me of something that occurred when I was a tech support contractor at MS during the Win '95 rollout. The MS employees kept advising everyone who wanted to add a second hard drive to use their broken xcopy32. It was we contractors who figured out the only right way, at that time, turn off virtual memory then copy over the major system files via drag-and-drop, etc.
Maybe the idiot that wrongly took you to task was confused by the article - after all, the girl was the one who demanded of BillG why 50% of their campus wasn't women - and why weren't there more Muslim terrorists instead of Windows' Terrorists there?????
I think everyone is missing the point here - MS, like so many other corporations, is bringing in Pakistani Muslim replacement workers (of all ages) to take the place of American workers. Then, as the FBI stats show, a number of them get arrested for terrorist and terrorist-related activities - which dramatically increases investment into the 'SECURITY' industry in America and Europe (European corporations are doing the same thing, of course). Gee, when you see the terrorists all coming from Pakistan - it makes one wonder about that diversity thing.....
I think you've nailed it exactly. There has to be more complexity given the progress to ever larger OS's - What is Win XP? 27 million lines of "optimized code" (according to MS). Plus, one need learn not only Unix, but Linux and other flavors as well.
Hey, please - no more insults about the commander-in-chief! While others served when drafted - he avoided service - first by going into that candy @$$ Texas Air Nat'l Guard, then be being AWOL for 2 years and skipping his flight physical - a courts-martial offense which should have precluded him from ever holding a security clearance ever again.
Then there's his Uncle Dick Cheney - who avoided military service altogether but wants everyone to die in Iraq and elsewhere. What a guy! (OK - I realize this is slightly off topic....)
To date, you are the only one I've heard state that it is "excellent" - you aren't by any chance from the Punjab region of India, are you???? Everyone else who has used it has nothing but bad comments to make about it.
You are so on target: firstly, various agencies, professional, temp, etc., post ads for nonexistent jobs, plus for they post ads for one job which shows up multiple times via different agencies. Newspapers run fictional fillers when they don't have enough jobs to be posted and need to fill space. The list of other reasons for nonexistent jobs showing up is too tedious to list......

At present, I am channeling the undead Mr. Tufte and he states unequivocally this new periodic table is dead on arrival.
And didn't he vow to "out Google" Google???? Hmmmmmmm.....
