How is it that this website is still operational? You would think that the RIAA should go after this website which is advertising and charging money for illegal music downloads rather than the victims of this site.
I was just on this mad roll and casino employees literally started standing behind me and watching me. If you get too lucky they will then start to watch you to see if you MIGHT be counting cards. ...other thing, if you refuse drinks they get pretty suspicious, too.
As far as education goes, I think the rule seems to be that if you have a bachelor's degree in ANYTHING (mine is in Philosophy) the cap to advancement is lifted. My experience has been that most "degreed" computer people (as opposed to folks who just learned on their own) that I have met didn't really have much in the way of skills. One theory to explain that could be that they assumed that getting the degree would magically be enough to guarantee that they knew everything they needed to do any job. A degree doesn't prepare you for the real world, just proves that you were able to see a project (your education) through to completion. Is getting a PHD in Comp Sci going to make you a lot of money? Only if someone buys into that. I have ZERO computer education and I make better money than most of my CompSci college buddies and it's because computers are my hobby activity that I would be doing in my free time even if I wasn't getting paid for it. THAT is what makes you the money - having the dedication that lets you develop mad skillz. Get the degree if you are really interested in the education aspect, but if you're doing it to increase your salary, you are barking up the wrong tree, IMHO.
The way I'm reading the article, it seems as if the devices can either transmit a signal that jams mobile communications or monitor them. So if we start jamming all battlefield communications (I guess they're talking about RF transmissions) then how do the devices talk to each other? I mean, are they linked by physical wires or something? If these devices use RF transmissions to communicate with each other and then jam RF transmissions, then won't they also jam each other and break their own network? In order for a system like this to work it sounds like the devices have to communicate wirelessly, so what's to prevent an enemy from learning what freqs are used by the P2P system and then running their own coms on those freqs? Or better yet, just jam those coms so that the individual devices won't be able to link up. Oh, and by the way, Sniffer is a registered trademark of Network Associates Inc.
