i remember when the planes hit the towers as i was watching the morning news before heading to university.4 days later, the convenience store by my house, had these little U.S. flag stickers for sale. the profits from the sticker sales were to go to the rescue and recovery effort. i put it on my car, and my brother said if i was really patriotic, i would have already had the sticker. i did agree somewhat, but i did explain why i thought it was a good cause. anyway, that got my mind racing. WHAT IF??
i feel that bin laden is a very intelligent person - in an evil genius kind of way. what if those stickers were already produced, and ready to ship to the convenience stores by some front coorperation - or even more tinfoiled, one of those charities linked to al queda.

1)print stickers with american flag.
2)sale a few million stickers at (minimum donation) $1USD.
3)through laundering, filter 2.5 million USD to fund future operations.
a smart player will use his opponents weaknesses to cause the opponent to loose a round. its even better if the opponent never realised it so he can use the same tactic next time.
cheap stuff and good deals will sucker in true blooded american;) "OH look daddy!!, Spiderman 2 DVD for only $8.00! please please please"
Nurses also tend to be very sweet girls(speaking from a guy point of view). I think the sweet, caring, nurturing type of girls are naturally attracted to a nursing career.
I've dated two nurses. One was a LPN and the other
was a RN. I'm single, so I don't have to turn in my geek card. However, if I ever luck up and date another nurse, I will latch on. I recommend you do the same:)
CherryOS is an attempt(allegedly) to make money off a gift given to society via GPL without giving credit where credit is due.
P2P mp3 downloaders are breaking the law, no doubt about that, but only when they download copyrighted works.
However, they are downloading something that is overpriced, and something for which they may have a "right" to download. what if they own the cd? what if they own it, but they lost it or broke it? they paid for the right to listen to it.
Is this really suprising to anyone? Think about the Eolas case:)
Not to troll here, I'm just pointing out human/business nature but I sure that they love patents when it comes to defending their business interests. They only want reform on aspects of the system that work heavily against them.
and yes, i too, dislike IP and software type patents.
Where do you see a need? What itches you enough to motivate you? Finance? Statistics? Games? Encryption? CPU design? How about genetics or nano technology? Maybe its user interface...whatever floats your boat so to speak.
My personal choice would be either electrical engineering or some sort of physics. After that, I would place finance or statistics.
Are you a fool? The answer depends on how bad you
needed that job.
Not many people like working in a coal mine. I would guess the people that do the work do it be put food
on the table and pay the bills.
I'd rather program for Linux, using Linux. Its what I learned on. I grabbed a book on programming.Net in 2002 because it was the best job offer I had. I've grown to love it, and feel as if I have plenty of control over my final product.
Look at the end result you desire. Do it require having the level of control that you assume or 'feel' like you can't accomplish with the toolset provided for that job?
Design importance has a direct relationship to the size/complexity of the system being designed AND the "system" that is designing the system. By that I mean, design is a loose term. Me and my roomate can design better by talking about a general idea, and then sitting down and writing code while making adjustments where needed. This process wouldn't work in most coroporate cube farms where you have varying levels of skill, vision, ability to learn, types of users, and the all knowing PHB. This is a stereotype. I picture them developing a strict design that has to be followed.
What is important, no matter what type of design you have in front of you is FLEXIBILITY. That designs needs to be able to change without throwing the whole system off balance. In fact, design should be a process which includes the implementation of itself.
I would like to add some constructive criticism here.
I find myself in a unique position on the Open source vs products from microsoft debate.
I grew up and cut my teeth so to speak by learning
C on Linux(self taught, no money for an expensive IDE, etc...typical 18 yr old at that point.)
9 years down the road, I graduated college...the IT market is crap, so I took, with that 'uhg' feeling' a job in a 'microsoft only' shop who were converting to.Net. After a year, I loved the stuff..Net is the best product microsoft has came up IMHO.
Now mono comes out, and of coarse, given my background, I am highly interested in it, and even
ponder some commercial development with C#.I'm hoping to take advantage of the IT market's seemingly obvious transition from Windows to Linux.
Now here comes my criticism...and it is contructive, because you're description of the.Net concept is one of the best(read as the one i agree with the most) that I've heard.
Gnome API vs.Net API is a wrong comparison.
Gnome API vs Windows API is more correct.
Or Gnome API vs WinForms..Net is one big library. microsoft's framework is their implementation and exposure(API) to it.
Mono is its own. A.Net api would be something like System.xml or System.Reflection. They have a system.windows.forms, but it is more or less just hooks to the standard windows API.
Gnome inside of mono(and i still have not used mono yet, I'm thinking on it heavily) would be like their hooks into the Gnome API. just a small critique.
I charge $20 - $50(usd) per hour depending on the job. I've decided that the extra income that is available from this type of work can't be turned down.
Bartering is a good and interesting approach, and I do that to a certain extent.
I usually limit the bartering to my friends. I know mechanics, an electrician, some people in the legal field, and some people in contruction. I will barter with them, but its more of a friendly favor. I ask for help, and they ask me for help.
The main benefit that bartering with my friends gets me is references. Since I do good, quality work on the cheap, they have no problem recommending me to their friends(who will be charged)
Upon taking on any job for a friend, I'll mention how much I would normally charge for this type of work. I also tell them that if they come to know of anyone that needs work, send them my way. They all get a few of my personal business cards.
1. Human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature.
2.
1. The conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty, specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium.
2. The study of these activities.
3. The product of these activities; human works of beauty considered as a group. 3. High quality of conception or execution, as found in works of beauty; aesthetic value.
4. A field or category of art, such as music, ballet, or literature.
5. A nonscientific branch of learning; one of the liberal arts.
6.
1. A system of principles and methods employed in the performance of a set of activities: the art of building.
2. A trade or craft that applies such a system of principles and methods: the art of the lexicographer.
7.
1. Skill that is attained by study, practice, or observation: the art of the baker; the blacksmith's art.
2. Skill arising from the exercise of intuitive faculties: "Self-criticism is an art not many are qualified to practice" (Joyce Carol Oates).
8.
1. arts Artful devices, stratagems, and tricks.
2. Artful contrivance; cunning.
9. Printing. Illustrative material.
I think that sums it up, for me anyway. Hell, I think the source code to the program that generated the "computer art" could be art itself:)
You said that I should get some perspective. I wonder who's perspective I should get. Really.
Should we take advantage of new more powerful technology to create development platforms which make development easier?
Or should we code everything to an uber-efficient standard so the 1% of the market with 10 and 12 year old computers can run the applications?
Using a paltform such XUL would allow me to put out quality code faster, which may or may not put more money in my pocket faster....and thats my perspective. thanks to the mozilla foundation.
Ah yes! but does your P166 have the MMX instructions?
You are running a freak'n Pentimum 166 in 2005, and you think XUL based applications have issues? Dude.
The subject of debate in this article concerns
media representives(blogger or otherwise) selling
out and representing an opinion that may or may
not reflect their own opinion.
Why should this concern anyone who thinks for one's self. For example, I don't judge a political candidate based on what I hear Bill O'Reilly or Dave Stuart say on their shows. My opinion is formed from hearing what the candidate says in his or her speeches and debates, and to a lesser extent, the combined information gathered from multiple media/news sources.

it would be bad if they couldnt do windows updates;)
They're referring to longhorn as two pieces:
client and server.
They have a new markup language called XAML which provides a rich UI tied to a server backend.
They've pushed for mozilla developers to embrace said XAML.
They've pushed subscription based software.
I see where this might be going:
You need microsoft office? easy, go to xttp://office.microsoft.com. You need a passport login. Setup is only $10 per month
I recently made a trip to the beach. Before we left, I was waiting on my friend to finish getting her stuff packed. Knowing how long girls take to get ready, I fixed her roomate's computer; he had been talking about getting a new hard drive since he was so slow lately. I installed ad aware, updated the definitions, and ran it. It found 3000+ objects. The most I had seen until then was about 700! His computer runs much better now. When we arrived back home on sunday, my car which had been parked in his driveway looked awesome. He washed it, waxed it, and even put shiney stuff on the tires, and polised the exhaust tips! talk about karma:)

I also informed about the evilness of Kazaa but I didnt uninstall it, since I didnt have his permission. I also told him about mozilla, firefox, and even AVG antivirus. I'll check it out again next week. Something tells me he'll have some more boogers on there;-)
I've wondered if Microsoft would buy them out before - heavily increasing their hardware division. Why have an open architecture(ibm compatible pc) running closed software(windows). They could in turn sell different components(motherboards with a DRM enabled firmware that only allows micrsoft software or certified by microsoft software, CPU, etc to Vendors such as Dell, Gateway, etc. Or they could go the Apple way. They would have a little glitch that you have to have this firmware to run our software. the only way to get this firmware is on our hardware. where is my tin foil hat?
