I know why Freshmen CompSci major numbers were down at my University: the Computer ENGINEERING program was the largest growing of all majors there. Lots of freshmen start out as CompEngr majors and then find out Electrical Engineering classes are too hard. So by the time they are seniors, it all evens out in the end.
I guess we're just more likely to have problems since we have more domains. We have a couple hundred and about 1 in 10 usually ends up being a problem. We're slowly moving domains off of them so as not to disrupt too many of our customers sites.
And did they also ask why you were transferring everytime you moved a domain off of them? When I talked to them on the phone, they were more worried about the possibility of me transferring a domain than actually helping me. I did a search on their site trying to find out how to get our AUTH CODE for a.biz, but all their support said was "Please contact your current registrar to request your authorization code." So I was like YOU ARE MY CURRENT REGISTRAR. Then I had to spend an hour on the phone getting the right answer. I hope I don't have to deal with them very much longer...
It seems to me that customers are really wanting the balance between a great product associated with the service they receive. Where I work, we've been promoting basic computer classes when people purchase a new computer. It's not enough that people want a cheap deal from Best Buy or Dell - they want to know how to use the systems too. It costs more initially for the customers, but they save in the long run.
But seriously, I once had an assignment in a higher-level programming course that I could not complete. The program I had written would not compile unless I had usless function stubs. The professor was able to analyze (quite quickly) what I had done wrong and I got a B+ even though it didn't work.
Ah yes, and of course there's also the fuzzy feeling you get inside knowing that you're bathing in the warm glow of so much more electromagnetic radiation.
Many of our customers have come in needing computer repairs because they said "that big microsoft patch" messed up their system. As usual, at least 90% of the couple hundred computers I've seen since SP2 came out had problems because their kid was downloading the pr0n or using KaZaA. Their computers were just crawling to a standstill. With SP2, Norton AntiVirus 2005, Microsoft AntiSpyware Installed and running all the time, only a couple of the computers have come back with problems. And yet again, it was because junior can't stop surfing the bad sites.
Because when I buy off-lease computers such as Dell Latitude C600's for $150 and IBM IntelliStations for $300, it's definately worth it for me. The company who leased the top of the line computers got what they needed (top of the line), the leasing company made a buck, and I bought a relatively inexpensive workstation or server just a year after they were made.
Mesh networks still have to use an underlying technology such as WiFi to create the mesh. The company I work for is creating a mesh of Wifi nodes using Strix units to manage the network. It's really easy to set up a new node, pull up the manager with the list of "rogue devices," and then incorporate the new node. When Wimax is available, the company says that they will provide equipment you can integrate with the existing nodes (kind of like stackable Linksys devices).
Whatever they did in this update was able to fix my problem. My Firefox kept freezing everytime I tried to move the mouse and would stay frozen for about 10 seconds. It was a problem at least a dozen people in message boards were having but it appeared to not have the same cause in all systems. Anyway, Firefox works now! Thanks Mozilla team!
Well, I was looking for books with black and white animals on the covers and then I saw this. Needless to say, you can't judge a book by its cover. I found it to actually have useful real-world solutions to actual problems I have had in the past. I thought it would be useless and unprofessional, but it was not. It was also the least expensive web-development-related book in the major book chain store through which I was browsing.
Yeah, that kind of sucked. On a windy day in Lincoln (I went University of Nebraska-Lincoln) you could smell that stuff on the west side of town. Unless Nebraska just kind of smells all over.
I have already purchased my brand new camcorder and tripod to set up in front of my TV! I keep hearing people say as long as you're able to see/hear/smell it you're able to record it!
Or you could work on creating modular mesh networks that are not dependent on the transmision technology or protocol. Use WiFi now, then just slap on their WiMax modules when they become available.

A Jack of all trades is a master of none...
Get a good background, then find something specific you enjoy working with.

Another one of those vague summaries with no real information...

Boy did I think you were going in a completely different direction when I saw that you wanted to put a hole in the back...

Yeah, that "Hello, World" can be a real pain!

I work for an ISP that uses this, and it's much better sounding than all of this vague "Fighting Evil" garbage.

It's invisibility not a mute button.
Doesn't the Ebay terms of service say that you cannot sell domains?
Yeah, that kind of sucked. On a windy day in Lincoln (I went University of Nebraska-Lincoln) you could smell that stuff on the west side of town. Unless Nebraska just kind of smells all over.
Are you chitting me? No chit... I had no idea that's what it was called.
I have already purchased my brand new camcorder and tripod to set up in front of my TV! I keep hearing people say as long as you're able to see/hear/smell it you're able to record it!
Don't forget Kansas.
It's so easy, they'll just use this technology. Imagine having to pass that data through all those Cisco routers out to turn you in to the MPAA.
Sounds like someone's in loooOOOOOOooooove!

Or then again, you can keep complaining without offering a solution.
Maybe there should be a Godwin's Law for comparing pieces of software to Gator.
