Apply. When questioned, mention you qualify as you have 2 years of java experience and the requirements stated 1. 1 because "obviously 10 was a typo since Java is 4 years old" 2 out of 4 sounds good enough.
Ah, but its not because the HVAC (which I doubt the parent refered to) system failed, but because the _mail_ server failed. They don't care if the computers fry as long as they get mail.
IT workers in the United States tend to feel undervalued also, according to a 1999 survey conducted by Computerworld. In that study, respondents said that while they are happy to be working in IT and are loyal to the companies for which they work, they believe they are not valued enough by their employers, are overworked, and receive too little communication on how they can contribute to the company's bottom line.
Please. A 1999 survey. 1999.
What a stupid study. For starters, nobody is gonna recognize in public they don't value their employees (unless it's in a stockholder meeting, in that case you better say you are ready to "trim the fat" in your company).
And then you got the big company "moves" in which today we kick 15,000 US/EU employees due to alleged redundancies, tomorrow we hire 14,000 in India/China. Sure they are in their right to do so, but people will not be happy.
Or today we lay out a couple of thousands of our senior consultants, and tomorrow we hire a bunch of noobs for 1/10 the money, which they will accept because they need the experience.
Coworkers value IT people? Sure they do! When their OS dies due to user stupidity, it is magically fixed! Every time! Hey, that guy must feel satisfied, he's been working nonstop!...
If it was a piece of machinery that they broke, I know where that person would be.

Not only the distaster was the US's machination, but the deceased were... how many would you say? A ridiculous 36%! That is a survival rate of over 60% in an extremely dangerous situation in which the hydrogen US embargo put the ship in. Even in those circumstances, I'd take that over any modern air crash.

There had been repeated warnings coming out of the intel community. I don't understand why do you mix CIA / FBI with govt. decisions. If policy dictates not to pay attention, no attention will be paid and no action will be taken.
In other words, your hardware may signal an IRQ but without an IRQ handler in your OS to care propely your machine will go boom:P
FWIW. Years ago when I was still at school, I had an impacting experience over a weekend. I was at class, and when I switched "consciousness" on:) I was shocked at how different my handwriting had become since last friday.
After that I decieded that hey, there may be a relation between personality and style. And that while it is true you might adopt a different style, who is to tell you that doing that won't affect your personality?
Now.. thinking about the post above.. I may even point out that scribbing things in a hurry might also be relevant, if you think about it...

Make that quote in 5 years and I guarantee nobody will get it.

AC stops working for a few days: Expect slight decreased productivity and whining.
:)
Mail stops working for a few hours: Expect YELLS! PANIC! We lost major $$$!!
You should had chosen a better example

And anyway, what is exactly an IT worker?
No need for faith if you can read Chinese.
He should had used the form "Our country" or "our flag".
Or even better... "Wilson's flag".
If the first group has the media (for whatever reason) and the second one doesn't, obviously the second won't get equal cover.
As such, the second event didn't happen to the public (who was the intended target of the message), so it didn't happen.

For you High Schoolers*, this is a great project to embark yourselves upon! And it sounds pretty easy once you have the microorganism isolated!

You are still in time. Seriously consider keeping coding as a hobby and pursue a different career path...
Hehe.. I remember it too.
Eheheheh...
hehehehhhehh
EHEHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA!!!
*cough*
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
The mere notion of commercial code being (or trying to) be bulletproof is too absurd!
I expect so.
Most of the people with college degrees I interview don't know crap, and most of them aren't resourceful enough to wade their way though problems.
While the degreeless persons usually have a good bunch of experience (which might not be conventional) and are usually more mature.
Bwahahahahaha! .. *sniff*
Depends; if you can frame it as a real disability, yet still not making it "weird", they may even like it (equal opportunity and that crap..)
Why should I take a vacation... once I come back everything will be the same.
*mourn*
Good reasoning.
;)
Unfortunately I'm sure the "modern arts" types will find creative uses for films in sculptures. I'm sure my sister would
Stone + Chisel. Will perdure. If it breaks you can still put together the two pieces.
Anyway, film has its problems... talk with anyone who has to work with old reels.

You are actually wasting your L1 cache.
Been there, done that. It's called smalltalk.
