If you use it right. Pickup a ton of industry info for what I am doing, connect with people who are in the same space. Easy connect with people interested in things I am doing.
Facebook is a waste of time simply because Facebook neuters your ability to reach people if you don't pay - but so far Twitter is pretty decent.
You teach core and theory and you apply it to whatever the current fad is. It is preposterous for a computer science program to be geared directly to some "thing" that is currently popular or will be.
College is about learning theory and how to apply it, it isn't a vocational program.
Here is to Microsofts shit ad campaign "Scroogled" - first they snoop on all Skype communication and now they admit to reading emails LOOKING for things.
I fully expect the daft ad men at Microsoft to continue their pathetic ad campaign.
Please. If you want to go work at a startup, you accept the risks of working at a startup. I've known plenty of people that tried to swing it at a startup and ran back to their previous jobs a month later because it didn't go as planned.
Startups are RISKY. That is the risk/reward. If you want to take low pay in return for stock, then pay a lawyer to make sure your options are worth something.
I've heard the pitches before "We will pay you half your current salary, but the risk is worth the reward!" - please - I am not a partner so there will be no big reward. Get fucked.
Want something that pays decent and you won't work 80 hours a week? Find a stable job at a firm thats been around for awhile.
Name the names. Sorry, I simply don't buy the reasoning at all. If the problems were so bad you want to "stop it all together" then you indicate who that person is.
Not even that, lets say you have a "Cloud" based App. You have to maintain your APIs on the server so they are backwards compatible.
We've rolled out around 16 updates in 16 months for our software. New features, bug fixes, etc. While even our X.0 software will work with the API in X.16, it takes a lot of work to ensure that you are backwards compatible.
Eventually we will break that, but it isn't all that trivial, especially for a small team.
Your failure to see the problem with the wife having any influence inside the walls of the building indicates you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
When they are fully funded by taxes alone. Please, it is virtually impossible to get rid of any police officer for anything. Look at the CA Dorner case. Police shot at two cars of innocent people and nothing happened to them - at all. And people worry about this. Bullshit.
Consider that updates are done via firmware that is downloaded and stored on computers at local dealerships (They aren't downloading the updates for every single car they update).
How difficult would it be for any moderately skilled hacker to compromise those machines to side load along with the updates?
So the idea that the dealer is somehow safer, is purely insane.
The worst part to me is the useless shit spam recruiting emails. No, I don't want your shitty job with a shitty description - nor will I do your job and recommend a friend.
Strangest of all is LinkedIn has an amazing social graph on you, yet they show you the most mundane and useless articles - which you'd have no interest in.
Even bigger issue is, if you are hosting your infrastructure on AWS, your customers will get slower service.
In the end, I am unsure how the FCC lets this occur. I pay GOOD money to my shitbag carrier to get access to my content. If I pay for 50MBPS download, I don't give a fuck what content it is, I want 50MBPS.
When you Google something and select a result - the website redirects you to the mobile version of their home page - not the content you want. Thus, you can never get to what you are looking for...
Lots of men were charged with these insane laws. Why aren't they all pardoned? I see it as nothing more than a cute gesture. Everyone persecuted under these bullshit laws should be given full pardons.

Fuck off and die.
This whole internet activism bullshit has gotten out of hand. Hey, stop using JavaScript if you want to put your money where your mouth is.
Not using Firefox will change nothing.

Glass houses and all that.

Yeah, because politicians have real long term goals, you know with having to get elected ever 2-6 years. They really plan for the future. rofl

I've seen Bank of America (no longer know if this is true) specify "password must be between 8-16 characters."
Why would you set a ceiling - unless you are storing them in plain text...

Using company hardware and resources to do anything is stupid in 2014.

We bought two pair for our company to play with. I have one and my business partner has another.
The only real use we have had for them is taking videos and pictures of our kids. Don't get me wrong, they are FANTASTIC for that.
But both of us really can't find the use for them, other than a cool method of capturing video. Not $1500 worthy, wait for the commercial version.
We are a healthcare startup and we get the usual metasploit attacks, but more important we are phished like crazy.
The information is valuable and because it is, healthcare firm staff will be easy pickings for being targets.
They simply don't know what they are doing (for instance, there is a 90% chance your doctor is using SMS/MMS to communicate about patients)
lol, you don't have to register a thing with the USPTO to have enforceable copyright. What a preposterous position.
The first thing on their website is:
currently hiring: Director of Engineering
Sounds like a great place to work with blowhard like him there.
Medical devices are huge threats. "Hey lets slap WiFi on this heart rate monitor and give it to a hospital" - how about an insulin pump?
Recall the story of using bluetooth to kill someone with a pacemaker?
Simple fact is people have no idea what they are doing security wise and are designing this stuff to be web enabled.

lol, you actually think that evidence that is constructed like this isn't used in court?
Would agree to terms before they even tell you what the terms are?
And lets be fair, it isn't like the Obama Admin could be trusted to live up to the terms of the agreement anyway.
