SMB all the way. Unless you enjoy either having your spine ripped out, or relentlessly climbing the corporate ladder. I guess they supposedly have great salaries, but what is your soul worth? I have yet to find a corp that can beat the perks of working for a successful SMB. We need another article called how to break free of the giants.
Could our faster evolution be due to our higher mortality rate than females?
But isn't this kind of obvious?. Changes that effect reproduction should happen the fastest. I mean isnt that what evolution is all about, getting better more efficient ways to procreate?
Wait till they add the feature of an ultra cost efficient mono-color option.

I was having difficulty for the first 10 minutes as well. But either my eyes got used to it or it may have been because I started analyzing the 3d itself. Trying to figure out how the 3d worked, what my eyes were seeing so I wasnt looking at the focal point anymore, but being forced to look at a given focal point was distracting throughout the movie. I think it may be because with ADD my eyes are constantly scanning the whole of the screen so until my caffinated drink sank in I was weirded out by the movie. I ended up enjoying it though once I settled in.
must be the same idiot as above. the $12/hr tech does the counting, actually machines do the counting at most places in the US. Pharmacists are the ones mixing your IV bags and compounding. Also checking drug interactions to make sure you don't die. There is a reason my buddy makes $130K a year working for walmart, and my wife will probably be closing in on 6 figures here soon.
Wow that was an ignorant statement. All you see is them counting pills, but you dont see them mixing up IV bags in hospitals, compounding, doing research..etc. Yes Pharmacists are quite the chemists.
OP was making a distinction that there is little similarity between IT and CS. This is incorrect. As a BSCS, Network Admin, and having worked in several IT departments I would say I am qualified to make the distinction. IT is a subset of CS, but so are many other occupations, it is just a practical application of it. These elitists that say you have to be a researcher or use low level tools are just that, elitists that don't get what CS is.
I got my CS degree intending to go into network administration. I have always enjoyed the practical side of sciences. I was taught old school CS as well. They didn't really use any specific language, and we were supposed to write out our algorithms on paper, we were graded accordingly. Now while I wouldn't recommend the CS route for everyone, it is quite spectacular and very challenging when you get a real program. It is as close to a pure logic degree as I know of.
Coming from someone here who lives the "distinction" IT is a subset of CS and CS is just as applicable here as in research, just in a different manner. It is akin to assembly level programmers saying C programmers arent really programmers because they are just using the 'real' programmer's constructs to take shortcuts. No more a fair and clear distinction than was made by the OP.
I know you are trolling but I call BS here (pun intended). I have a CS degree and am a Network Admin in an IT department. Now while I am not spending my time doing research (what you are referring to). I am using CS theories and applications every day. Tools are tools, whether I am using someones algorithm for optimizing data at a low level or high level either way I am doing data optimization. Given there are a LOT of IT folk out there, A LOT, that dont think of the profession properly. (See parent post, they may just not know that they are using high level math or may not be that good of an IT person) There are plenty of us CS grads who do. I have fun with numbers all the time, figuring out the rate of change in our systems over the last 5 years or calculating projected resource needs in 3 years.When I am looking for a solution to a problem I am not thinking vendors, I am thinking, what are my parameters and how do I fit them? I use my knowledge of big Oh for figuring out which methods to use for intrusion detection, or for designing routes on networks. I use my knowledge of numerical analysis to figure out how close is good enough when determining efficiency.
We could go all day on this but tools are tools, objects are objects, it doesn't matter if they are arrays or VB scripts. Either way we are standing on someone else's shoulders and using computational analysis to find a solution to a given scenario. Do I really need to whip out the XKCD reference here?
Good points, depends largely what you mean by liberal though. Catholics are traditionally conservative from what I have noticed in trends, eg gallup polls and whatnot. Conservative in the tendency to vote for traditional aspects of culture. I am LCMS though so we are all about putting those conservative Catholics in their place:)
Incorrect. You have to look at evolution like a ruler, there is no de-evolution or unanimously superior trait. You simply have favorable traits for a given environment. By favorable you just mean that they were able to breed more successfully and survive the environment than their competitors. However, if a species were able to get around the concept of traditional breeding such as by cloning or some method that doesnt require both parents you would see a different mechanism for success. IT would also shift if we figured out how to stop aging. But your point is somewhat correct, viewpoints that encourage breeding will have an advantage. However if those more successful breeders keep killing themselves off due to being unable to integrate into their environment, they will not succeed as well as their more adaptable brethren.
But I am not a biologist so what do I know. I do know in the US the Conservatives will kick the crap out of Liberals unless the liberals start breeding better.
Correct, reality is boring though, we want to see crap blow up:) Major movies that show good back story and a well rounded viewpoint are rarely well received. The only one I can really think of off the top of my head is 'Heat' and it has been a while since I saw a mainstream movie that did a good job of showing both sides of a coin.
Not true, it is just that the central conflict of the movie revolved around the clash of culture. They hinted at civil conflict with the division of the tribes and how they had to be re-united in the past. This assumes that there was civil fracture in the past, could be due to proper resource management but more likely territory disputes.
Hey I am one of the people who has paid for all the media on my computers and devices. What bugs me is the restriction on the media I buy. I can load a DVD but I can't loan a digital copy. For that matter the digital copy that came with my batman DVD is absolutely useless because the developer didnt have the foresight to check for space before initiating a connection to mark up my tally so when I tried to use it on a dummy PC first I burned up all three licenses without even getting to use it. Forcing me to decrypt the volume. I am ok with people protecting their media, I am not OK with them rendering something I paid for useless and calling me a thief.
I just use a real example. Hey you want to borrow some music from me? wait I cant just copy the files? What about the TV show I recorded last night, you want that? Oh I am sorry you cant...well you can because I had the foresight to put in a DVR that doesnt use DRM but your TiVo is gonna screw you. They understand perfectly clear then.
Sorry buddy, the suits in control will just look at it as a distribution problem, not a tech problem. Couldn't be anything wrong with DRM after all, it is going to save them billions! Thats right just keep drinking that Koolaid...
I am guessing there is more to the story, we are seeing a 3 paragraph synopsis. Many times when they expel a student like this it is because they have had other issues and this is the straw that gets public attention.
Heck I will take vulnerabilities every 2 years vs these monthly items in Reader, not to mention reader is so bloated it barely works in the first place.
The problem is, the distribution of the ingrediants is not uniform, so even if you find a way to divide a circle evenly you still have to take in consideration the weight of each piece and distribution of toppings.

Wasnt sandboxing the cool word about 10 years ago?
and Physicisans aren't biologists...EEs arent Physicists, Pharmacists arent Chemists...
