Haha good point. But since he's got to get an FAA clearance to make a test flight I'm sure he's got the proper clearance already, making him less likely to be scrutinized under a microscope. That is, until he start messing with rockets that does have lateral movement (i.e. a missile).
Perhaps US is one of the very few countries today that it is relatively easy for an individual to test or launch a rocket without getting government interference/harassment. Try to do this in a country like China, you and your family will most likely disappear the next day.
I've personally been *demoted* for asking about funding continuous education!
My manager was OK with it, he even submitted the request to HR, who then submitted it to his boss for approval. His boss had an issue with it, and came to me and said, "If you think you need additional education, you're not as sharp as we need you to be." and then, since Texas is an at-will state (as in, they can fire you, at will, for any reason any time), I was summarily dismissed.
I'm sure this happens everywhere. I read your post as Insightful, not Funny. Your WHOOOSH was just disappointing.
I'm very sorry to hear your experience, and I live and work in Texas...
Texas has a continuous education requirement for the licensed professional engineer. So if you want to keep your license, you need to take certain amount of course/training each year. If your employer doesn't recognize the importance of that, then they are not aware of the state requirement for engineers as well as not understand the requirement to retain talent. In either case just be glad you don't work for that company anymore. Any legitimate firm who value engineers (at least to some levels) will take that as a good reason not to work for a previous employers.
For the love of GOD please someone mod down ALL Tsingi's post in this article. He is ruining my/. experience with the enormous amount of his post on the same issue and I have a RIGHT to complaint about it.
Thank you,
A long time Slashdot reader.
Dude I want to applaud your motivation and novel idea. However I can also see that it is possible the conflict of interest and violating engineering ethics written all over the place, especially if the work you perform for the other company is the same or similar work you are doing for the company. Depending on the term of employment but it is pretty standard to waive all the work to your employer unless they give explicit approval.
If someone's in your front seat, they can see that traffic conditions have changed and know to STFU for a moment, without you having to tell them. Unless they're my ex, then they don't know what STFU means, nor how or when to do so.
I was gonna say you must not have a wife or gf riding with you before until I read the rest of your post. Point taken.
If it is an act of war against a foreign nation... what do you call it when several helicopters full of navy seals are sent into a foreign nation to kidnap or kill an individual who is living there with the implicit permission of the host nation, killing anyone who resists, taking the body of the target out... all without notice or permission of the host nation?
Do you really want to play a game of "lets pick and choose what we call an act of war"?
That's the choice of trade-off only a president can make. Choose to nab Osama with a huge risk of alienating another nation that's already pissed-off at us? Sure. Choose to send send a missile into a strategically important country not at war with? Not really worthwhile.
Remember this is suppose to be black-ops. None of this is suppose to be known to neither our friends nor enemies.
I bought a Nook Color before, mod it with cm7. Pre-ordered Fire, got it on release day also. I now use Fire far more often than using Nook Color. Once I get root access to Fire and install gmail app from google I will have little reason to use NC on a daily basis.
The integration on Fire is simply awesome. Yes I don't like the no-privacy mode while browsing but I'm sure it can be fixed. I got used to the location of the power button that it is not an issue at all. At least it doesn't annoys me.
If you look at what Abraham Lincoln needs to do during the Civil War and not paying attention to his message, you would come to the same conclusion also.
I did not came from a family that is well off. I was lucky enough to get Federal loans and Pell Grant. I am lucky I get those and they allow me to graduate with an engineering degree and I work as an ENGINEER. That's all I need to say about the effectiveness of the program for many struggling families and their kids who just need a chance to make a difference and make this a much better place.
Thanks for listening, although you probably don't care about anyone but yourself.
I don't know about where the GP lives, but in Michigan, highways/expressways have a minimum speed limit as well as a maximum. In 70 mph speed limit zones, the minimum speed limit is 55.
Good luck enforcing the minimum speed limit in rush hour traffic!
You mean like Warren Buffet who is busy twisting public policy to meet his personal goals? Or George Soros, who is using his money to push his goals? Those "most money" people?
If you are going to put both Warren Buffet and George Soros's name into this category (not saying you are wrong in doing so), perhaps you would be so kind to include the Koch Brothers, who own Koch Industries and are actively funding "conservative value" campaign, while undermining our country's security by doing business with Iran in proxy.
I got no problem with you trying to paint Warren Buffet as having personal agenda, however unclear it is (we know Soros political standing pretty well) to others. However please be fair and include prominent figures from "both" side of the spectrum when you do so. Then the argument is more persuasive and truly balanced.
Master's in computer science, did ballistics for the Navy, not the standard law or business degree that our politcians normally have.
Look no further than Jimmy Carter, a peanut farmer, a Navy officer, and a nuclear engineer, get us during his presidency. He's a good man and done great things for humanity. Yet we can agree that he's ranking for presidency is not over the top.
Man some of your data is old! back from 2008? A lot has happened 3 years ago.
Anyway would you please provide more updated links so your argument would be better supported? I am neither agreeing or disagreeing with you. However I think it would be more helpful if the data are more updated for the argument to be more persuasive.
If they can't GIVE the jobs away they should try paying people to take the jobs. It may go against the company culture and the share-holders may not like it, but it's the sort of regime that most employees have come to expect and they'd be more likely to get staff! (ho ho)
Working as an Industrial Automation Engineer I can tell you the pays aren't bad, to say the least. It is hard to find some good, competent people, and KEEP them. You have to know how to code, understand the process, which has direct consequence to the real world, and be able to work with people. I have seen a lot of not-so-good self-proclaimed control-automation specialist that don't know what they are talking about. Usually after the first assignment you know where their competency stands.

speaking like a manager
okay old story. But I got the first post!

This is just great! Since you mentioned it someone will try to ban babies onboard for the sake of safety...
Truly the surest way to keep the road safe is to have no one on the road.

Yup. I set mine up like that also. It also keeps personal contacts (email at least) away from corporate contact lists.
If you look at what Abraham Lincoln needs to do during the Civil War and not paying attention to his message, you would come to the same conclusion also.
Hear hear. I am in the exact same boat as you are. Wouldn't have make it without the student loans. They are a blessing, at least to me and my family.
Now schools can charge whatever he hell they want and there is no real competition in pricing.
This, is why we should not have unregulated tuition in the first place (i.e. the states withdrawing their funding to the public institutions).

Even if the ports aren't the same, what's the harm in your article? I don't get the hate.
Indeed it is an interesting observation of coincidence. We are just not sure if it is worthwhile to be published on /. as news worthy, that's all.

Why is your comments not modded down, because of your bad attitude and offensive tone, is beyond me.
by the way we still don't know why you are so offended. You gave as much technical details as the other guy.
In my humble opinion a home worker or casual web user will benefit much more from better latency and consistency
I think you have just nailed the actual issue!
