The skills are so different they don't benefit from each other.
Front End Devs need UI and ascetics as well as general programming skills.
Back end Devs need business logic, database, and general programming skills.
Knowledge of the elemental composition of plastics, or knowledge of resistor band codes won't come in handy in either.
I think the key question is what happens after the first year? How much does it cost after year 1? If you don't pay will it brick your PC or just stop providing updates?
No way anyone can win the argument that Google has a monopoly of any sort. Having a monster market share is only because they rose above their many many many competitors.
Its never secure, however buying directly from a supplier who has a good reputation to protect is is safer than buying from a distributor in the US. Simply because if you purchase direct and discover something they would be easily exposed,and that would kill their business.
The more hands it gets passed through the more opportunities for someone to sneak something in.
Most of us have moved onto Androids and iPhones, but the few people still using Blackberries are doing so because they offer security the other 2 don't. Part of that security is that it is sold by a Canadian company and Canada has had a pretty good reputation for respecting privacy and security. China has an extremely well deserved reputation of being espionage happy, this wouldn't go over well with those customers.
There is clearly something more to this story than what was being said. I think most employers would say "Yea, Comcast service is famously terrible, what's your point". I suspect he did bring up his employer, and included some threats. Why the heck else would Comcast even bother.
A degree is only half of the equation, experience is still incredibly important. You have proven you are good at studying tech, now you need to prove you are good and doing it. Aim for work that will provide valuable experience, even if the pay is awful. In 2 years your experience PLUS your degree should open up any door you come to.
You might be able to either, make a better case or select a different conference or classes. If they simply will never pay for continuing education, figure out the cost to pay for it yourself, consider your earnings that much less. Now assess if you are still making a competitive wage. It may be time negotiate or move on.
I had a smartphone where the memory became unwritable, but still readable. To send it in for replacement was not 'safe' because how much we use our phones for banking, work etc and I could not erase it. (And I threw every trick in the book at it). 2 seconds in the good ole micro is not enough to leave visible marks, but plenty to destroy the memory, (And every other chip I would imagine)
If the only obstacle is a bad boss, go to his boss and see if you can get out from under them, perhaps in your own unit, or under someone else. If the company itself fosters the bad environment, it's time to move on.
One of the biggest reasons cites are falling over themselves to get Google Fiber in, and many small towns are creating their own networks, is because of the deep seething hatred everyone has for Comcast.
He was even given a 2nd chance, instead of knocking it off he took it further and distributed and sold it. He very much deserved prison, as gentler warnings didn't work.
Apple's failed previous go at the enterprise plus IBMs track record of abysmal support for their products makes for a less than attractive enterprise solution.

Then Verizons idea of free speech is censorship, throttling, and restricting other's speech.

I think bitcoins are a great experiment in 'anarchy'. It goes to show that even a crappy government beats none at all.
They have some great tools, the "Frozen" code example had my wife enthralled, and she does not care much for tech stuff.

I like VB.net but I'm not so sure it's basic enough for beginners. But the transition from VB to C# is extremely easy I agree there.
You would think they would be more diligent with their own security issues.
Time for the competitors to undercut them.
Because I would think a single "Your computer has a virus" ad would serve as a slam dunk for the defense.

Right now it is very easy to dispute with my credit card. CurrentC needs to offer the same protections. If they do, count me in.

Good point :-)

Lets test this in Syria and North Korea.
Everyone should wear tinfoil hats, not just because they are very attractive, and stylish, but they keep the CIA out of your brainwaves!
