What YouTube/Google does is blatently illegal and wrong on many levels. Tons of the content on YouTube is copyrighted material and can't legally be hosted without paying a royalty to somebody. Why should Google be allowed to do this when I can't? I'd love to put up a site where people could log in and view my library of classic concerts, but I'd get busted and go to PYITA prison. "Watch yer cornhole" (not youtube)!
What you say is true, but crafting good code for $$$ can be a great job if you work on the right team for the right organization - a combination that is very hard to find these days.
I don't think these psychologists have read the chapter on how people lie about everything they put online. The only thing you can get from a Facebook profile is that the person is lame enough to *have* a facebook profile.
Java was the first step towards complete hardware and os independence in a development platform. It's not perfect, but we should be thankful for what it represents and even more thankful to Sun for giving to the community. Even if it isn't 100% open source (because of third-party code), it is still free to use! Companies like IBM, JBoss, etc. have made $$$ on Sun's willingness to share Java. Respect Sun, respect Java.
These students will fit right into today's IT world. Lack of ethics, integrity, technical skills, etc... Heck, make 'em managers right out of school. They're obviously qualified.
XP was a step up in quality from previous versions of Windows, but I can only conclude that Vista haters are irrational at this point. I've been using Vista x64 now for the better part of a year without any issues, excellent compatibility, and great performance. I also use OSX, Solaris, and several distros of Linux and I find Vista the best OS overall for development, media, and gaming. What exactly are people looking for in an OS that Vista doesn't offer? And, why be emotionally vested in an OS? Personally, I think it would be cool if companies continued to support older products, but they don't and that's just the way it is. Get over it, move forward, leave the nineties behind.
Why did you come to America if our "way of thinking" is so horrible? Polish Manager - that says it all. BTW, I have worked with many "over seas" professionals and I'm yet to be impressed. I find that most people from other countries lack ethics, ambition, creativity - AND ARE JUST HERE TO MAKE MORE MONEY THAN THEY CAN AT HOME!
I bought it, not bundled, and I use the 64 bit version daily now for the better part of a year with no problems at all. I use it to run 3D Studio Max, Sonar 7, Visual Studio, NetBeans and several Unix flavors including Solaris 10 under virtualization, not to mention zillions of games including COD4 & FSX and everything works great. The only other OS that may come close to Vista in value is OSX, but Apple has that whole "use our overpriced hardware or go away" mentality that in my opinion ranks them significantly lower on the coolness scale than Microsoft. Microsoft haters should just go away. Irrational prejudice over software products is just stooopid.
Having just developed and launched my own free job post/search website (http://www.jobopoly.com/ I'm very uncertain about offering a free service, but I just don't feel that a job post is worth $399 (dice/monster) or even $29.99. I plan on charging for resume searches and that's it. Hopefully between that and the few ads I host I'll be able to pay the bills and keep the service up for people to use. Craigslist is no longer a grass-roots operation, it's a BIG operation trying to look grass-roots.
Yes, but of all the programs written COBOL is the leaeder, with ADA, FORTRAN and C right behind it. Java's not really in the *big* picture yet. Hopefully, all those thousands of lines of Java I generate will count for something someday.
Java is Software Socialism...

I like to write my own code. Re-use is cool, but I'd still rather re-invent the wheel. It usually takes less time to write from scratch than it takes to make other peep's crappy code work. Oh, and ALL these "application server" knockoffs are just stupid. LAMP lives!
wooooot!
If I'm going to develop.NET applications, I'm going to use the Microsoft tools and platform to do it. Part of being a good developer is choosing the right tools and platforms for your applications..NET is a cluster-f*** at best and I wouldn't want to polute my UNIX environments with it. I'm seeing too many of these open source projects trying to copy what Microsoft does. The open source community should be leading, not following!

Sounds like you're a perfect Management candidate. Educated on paper, but ignorant in practice.

But, keep in mind that artificial intelligence is still well... artificial.
