My niece and I both go to the same Big 10 university. I'm a PhD. CS, she's a law student. The university gave her a full ride scholarship that does not require that she work. I am required to work 20 hours a week for my stipend.
The university gave me a desk in an office. I am the only English speaker in the office. There is a computer on my desk (one that nobody else wants anymore), just no display, keyboard, or mouse. If I want to work in my office I must bring my own personally purchased laptop. So I work from home where I have dual monitors, a mouse and keyboard.
The university gave my niece a new laptop when she began law school.
The question should be why do universities treat their domestic engineering grad students like crap.
Certainly that was a posting for a job in the US.
The purpose of the HR weenies that was the topic of an earlier thread is to keep organizations from making mistakes like that.
It is illegal in the US to have a job requirement age = 25.
The one that doesn't have a #1, #2, or #3 person; the one where everyone who was not political hack was fired.
To recap, the one with a 4th string political hack in charge of a bunch of fellow political hacks. The former #3 went to a tier 4 law school. For details see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaIOX4zCRLg
The FBI is not going to catch Bin-Laden by tapping a phone. This will only cause a kind of Darwinism of criminals. Stupid petty criminals and you and I are the only ones who need worry about being listened in on.
Let's stop the nonsense and build our telecom networks on world class technology, not on the ability of our overlords to listen in.
If you do come to the conclusion that this is really what you want to do, be prepared to switch jobs in a year. You will find it much easier to lead a group that doesn't include your former peers.
Times have changed since 1996. GM and Ford have spun off Delphi and Visteon. In 1996 the automakers controlled the entire automotive supply chain. Fast forward 10 years and we have Tesla assembling cars from OEM parts. A small cabal of automakers and oil companies can no longer squelch the electric car.
Find a non-threatening situation in which to have a talk with him. He needs to be reminded (in a non-threatening way), that employment is a 2-way street.
He does not hold all the cards here. You obviously have some leverage, or he wouldn't be behaving the way he is.
Let him know that the best way for him to find your replacement is to not have a rep as an a-hole.
Get a special purpose mail account. Offer to answer the first 1 or 2 simple email questions for free. Then figure what you going rate should be, and pick up a few hours of gravey for a month or 2.
Doesn't anybody else think the judges are just as PO'd as everyone else ise?
IANAL, but my father is, damn good and thorough one too.
Knowing this, when he bought his first computer I contacted the vendor, had them send all the EULAs so he could review the contracts before he entered into them. When I presented him with the paperwork, he gave me this puzzled look wondering what he was supposed to do with all that crap.
I use GPL'd software when convienent, when not, I don't push the envelope as far as legality goes. Mabye I'm niave, but I think that if I ever come before a judge. I'll probably have an ally on the otherside of the bench.

I just told them I came up with 4,300,000 answers in.16 seconds. I could give them a summary of my top 10 answers, or if they felt lucky, I'd just give them my number 1 answer.
Dean was a threat to the people who make big $$$ from advertising. That's the reason Dean's scream was put onto an endless loop on TV "news".
Dean had 600,000 supporters, 59,000 who contributed an average of $112. GWB raised his money $2,000 at a time.
Joe Trippi (Dean's campaign manager) has written an excellent book: "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". I believe this is the architecture manual for the internet, people powered campaign that will win in 2008 and beyond.
I was a Dean supporter because the size of his average contribution meant he was not indebted to big business. Do the people who bundeled 100 $2,000 checks for GWB really believe they were contributing to charity, or do they expect a quid pro quo?
If Kerry is elected, he'll be blamed for the mess in Iraq. Part of me thinks GWB should be forced to clean up his own mess for the first time in his life.
Then I think of the supreme court. The next president will appoint 3 maybe 4 justices. We'll be living with this legacy for the rest of our lives.
This is not the time to vote 3rd party to prove a point. This is the election to make sure your guy gets into the white house. On November 3rd start working to get your ideal candidate elected to congress in 06, or the white house in 08.
It's nothing but parinoia. As long as you're willing to sign a Loyalty Oath you should have no problem accessing the site. They'll probably even mail you an absentee ballot.
After spending a few years programming in C, I took a job programming in Pascal. I figured that it was just a matter of replacing {} with begin/end, and '=' with ':='. Boy was I wrong.
Sometimes you need a hack, and Pascal's purpose in life it to prevent those convient little hacks.
The average wage for an American programmer runs about $60,000, says John Bauman, who set up the Organization for the Rights of American Workers. Employers pay H-1Bs an average $53,000.
A programmer, Mr. Bauman was out of work for 20 months before finally taking a job with a 40% pay cut. His experience is common enough that programmers are organizing to fight in Congress against H-1B and L-1 visas.
You're confusing average with a specifice case. You're also confusing fuzzy math with fuzzy logic.
If I were to disrupt the random network, I would watch the 1st responders and know what the effect was.
This is all about the Bush admin. using terrorism as their excuse for all policy. Can't say it's because Bush got $4.7 million from the Communic/Electronics industries. In the last month I've seen that we can't import drugs from Canada because they might be spiked by terrorists. Bush is promising to privatize Social Security again, he couldn't get it done 1st term because he was too busy fighting terrorists. All policy is now terrorist related.
leftist bias in the "mainstream" media (CBS, ABS, NBC, NYT, LAT, etc.).
Only NYT in your list even comes close to publishing liberal perspectives (not exclusivly). If you want good liberal perspectives visit: salon.com or The Nation or The Progressive necessary if you want a counterpoint to the right-wing perspectives that dominate.
Actually the point is that 30 year old stories shouldn't dominate the election coverage.
How is it possible that the GOP made 9/11 and homeland security the centerpiece of its convention when the White House fumbled 9/11 so severely?
Why is faux news still in business. Anybody who dares challenge the right-wing orthodoxy is destroyed by Fox and Talk radio.
This country has confused news and entertainment.
What has the GOP accomplished in 4 years other than bankrupting the treasury? They control all three branches of government and whine constantly about the left.

In other news, the US fell to 13th in broadband penetration. Maybe if we didn't have all these stupid regulations, it would take a smaller percentage of our income to purchase broadband.

I don't see what the big deal is. Who hasn't listened in on the people they work for?

Yeah, I know this one country that had a president that just quit drinking and taking drugs one day.
Then there was this other president, who was addicted to sex, and just never learned to keep his zipper zipped.

6 votes for YOUR candidate Actually GWB only got 5 votes.
...and TWSPQ is rightest. Interestingly enough I scored about the same on both.
