Agreed. If the submitter is looking only to do very basic web pages and not more complex web applications, then, yeah, they probably don't need any further education. Just create a portfolio of content and shop it around.
However, if the submitter is looking to do advanced web applications, possibly for a large company, and get paid over $75K, I would suggest a CS degree. As the parent states, web development goes well beyond HTML and CSS. An understanding of CS concepts is very important for creating a large interactive web application.
Also, are you willing to bank that web development will stay as it is for your entire career? Having a background in a wide range of CS concepts can be very helpful as the sands shift in the future.
Lastly, I'll comment that 80% of people who label themselves as web developers and proficient with JS and CSS only have the most basic understandings of the capabilities. Often, I see people who have taken courses in Java, and then saw that JS looks syntacticly similar on the surface. They code JS as if it is Java, resulting in extremely bloated and error prone code. My favorite statement from one such developer was "If only JavaScript had the concept of a hashtable, this would be so much easier to do".
And plenty of people on/. will remind us frequently that they didn't invent it, but somehow leave out the detail that all of the existing devices shifted to the Apple form factor and user interface shortly after the Apple release.
I know "US getting less sun than US" means "US getting less sunlight than US", but I still feel a little bit queasy when people substitute the word "Sun" for "Sunlight"
Not to nitpick, but no one said "US getting less sun than US". I feel a bit queasy when people substitute the word "Germany" for "US".
Brogramming is very different from cowboy coding. "Brogrammer" is a pejorative used to label developers that threaten one's ego by coming off as cool and social. In a development environment, many people aren't as focused on being "cool", so the term is necessary to raise yourself above those who do focus on that.
But at any rate, it seems that Peter Jackson mainly does movies based on novels, at least based on his Tolkein works.
In other words, if you look only at the movies that Peter Jackson has done that are based on books, then it appears that he mainly does movies based on books.
Certainly a fair point, but it is funny to think of all the people posting that they don't use Apple products because of this also not using Google search.
Exactly. Maybe the author could point out a few examples so that we could better understand the issue. The only thing that we have to go off of is the fact that the author is right and the new guy is wrong.
I've found in general that people have a tendency to get way too attached to their code. I love throwing out my code if I can replace it with a cleaner and less error-prone solution. Many people I have worked with have the attitude that "it works for the requirements that I was given, so I am not going to change it". The problem is, their code fits into a massive code base with many people working on it. The requirements may be expanded in the future, or the next person who touches the code may not be the author.
You can use a coil and transmit the energy through the air. Another way of doing it is to use one of those flexible photovoltaic cells.
Wow, the energy needs of the thin client can be met real time by current energy transmitting and photovoltaic cell technology without requiring a battery to store up a charge! This gets even better than I thought!
Agreed. Do everyone a favor - list everything you hate about Google Docs. Hopefully someone from Google will read the list and actually cause change. You know a list of Office painpoints would go unheard.
If the ruling had been against Google, the prevailing comments on this site would be a call to return no search results for German websites. Interesting how attitudes differ based on the company in question...

Dislike of Apple and making fun of homosexuals seems to go hand in hand based on highly moderated posts on /.

And how dare someone choose a job based on those factors. Those sluts!

I'm shocked the submitter submitted a story to slashdot that even they thought wasn't newsworthy.
Well, actually....

I don't think that it has to be exclusive. He is probably seen as a visionary and cult hero in part due to him being a ruthless entrepreneur.

Oh, cool! So the thin client doesn't even need a battery?
Where did you get that the video was posted online? The only thing posted was the audio of the discussion with the police.
Boy, someone got burned in a divorce...
Would it keep the driver's eyes on the road, or would their attention be split between the road and whatever the glasses are displaying?

Republicans in particular shouldn't be concerned by this, as they already don't believe in climate modeling.
What does a post of that website have to do with the parent's comment?
Agreed. Do everyone a favor - list everything you hate about Google Docs. Hopefully someone from Google will read the list and actually cause change. You know a list of Office painpoints would go unheard.
And if Google's new phone is successful enough, Samsung and other phone makers can incorporate the design elements into their phones.

Do you realize that your statement has now been proven untrue, and that the rifle was used in the killings? Care to comment?
It is a crime that you didn't get modded up.
