Actually, this season, the NZ pay TV provider, SKY, will simulcast Game of Thrones at the same time as the U.S. If you wait six months it is broadcast on free-to-air TV.
When I'm refereeing a game of football (soccer to you American types;-), running a half marathon, doing a biathlon or out hiking in the mountains and my cellphone becomes more convenient than wristwatches, I'll tell you.
My wristwatches need to be: a) robust b) waterproof/mudproof c) convenient to use without needing to reach anywhere with my hands (ever tried taking something out of your pocket cycling up/downhill? Also, in the case of refereeing, I run two watches for redundancy purposes: taking two cellphones on the field sounds plain silly.
Ah, I was playing Scrabble at a local pub with a young lady and I managed to put LARCH on the board. She couldn't understand why I was so amused/excited/constantly saying "The larch"...
He's writing a/. post, not a technical spec. If you read history books for long enough you'll soon get bored reading the same thing over and over again. Sounds like you need to hang with Mr Cowper: "variety is the spice of life", after all.;-)
This is infamous amongst football [soccer] referees as a debrief to the assistants before the game that is to be avoided.
Same could go for software development.
I guess you also mean what you need to do to make your career more prosperous? The best thing that I did was locate a mentor. Ask older guys who helped them the most, look to family friends. It doesn't have to be a technological mentor, just someone who can help you over the usual stumbling blocks anyone encounters in a new job.
I would also recommend getting your life balance right sooner rather than later. I've known a few guys who worked excessively long hours and ended up hating their jobs and walking away from software development. Don't be like that! Again, a mentor can be useful in this regard.
That's an incredibly small R&D cost. That would employ a newbie junior engineer for no more than 4 years. Let alone costs of materials, furnishings,...
Hardly expensive, really. If they sell a million units they only need to make £0.10 per unit to get that cost back.
One thing that made it very funny for me was not the/. adoration but Jon Stewart's treatment of it on The Daily Show. I remember not only the dissection of Ted's speech but the quite hilarious animations that elucidated the concepts Ted was describing.
I'm unaware of TDS' presence on Youtube any more after effective copyright chasing, but a clip of this comedy genius may be stuck in a lesser-used tube somewhere.
I don't know about you, but the use of "effect" as a verb always makes me think of going to the toilet. Incidentally, so does twitter, Twitter and curries from the dodgy Indian restaurant down the road...

I suspect it was intentional and not that stupid.
LabVIEW has been around since 1986. http://www.ni.com/labview/
I lived with a plumber for a while. I'm quite glad he didn't bring his work home.
House of Cards is a remake of a British TV series from the 90s. And this isn't the first Daredevil offering either.

Also, for the squeamish, fish, whales, penguins, sharks, jellyfish and manta rays don't use condoms. Not sure about crocodiles or wombats.
A job flipping burgers would explain why and how you're feeding the troll :-P~
Argh. I read your post and looked for the "Like" button. I am screwed.

Gives a Matlab Simulation a whole new meaning.
(I'm guessing mainly the referees here will get that one... :-P)
Actually, you should get a perm.

Matlab?
I use APL, you insensitive clod. Much, much more fun for code cracking/number crunching!

Remind me to never work in the US. We get four weeks minimum.
Shocking dude. EU + Australia/NZ for the win.

Surely people with an ethic for being so fast should be placed in such positions to fully utilise their aptitude?
Give the man/woman/thing a contract for the safety of our countries! The War of Terror demands it!
