And my compensation package in 1999 was roughly $80,000/year. Things have improved how? Those numbers are still LESS than I made 13 years ago!
Wasn't it in 1984 that someone was told to say the government increased the chocolate ration to a lower number than previously?
Ah. This article isn't about you. It's about average IT professionals, in the real world. When the Narnia survey hits we'll let you know.
Seriously though. I am concerned about people who think that average salaries going up is a good thing. Imagine a system where if YOUR pay goes up, everyone's pay goes up and suddenly you're paying ten dollars for an apple. Who's better off? There's the world now.
On the one hand I agree with you, on the other hand, yeah, language evolves.
Hopefully we can all agree that when someone uses the phrase "begs the question" they're resorting to hopeless cliché, trying to bask under a well-worn phrase in the expectation and forlorn hope that its scuffed surface still has enough glimmer to illuminate their words. Hint: it doesn't.
If the SOPA bill passes it'll directly affect the websites that chose to continue hosting their websites in the US. Multiple site hosting, which is surely the norm for larger sites now anyway, would be the way to go. Small sites won't really have much choice but to move away from the US. Who is going to risk having a site closed to the entire world because your competitor ratted out a rogue link on your forum?
Maybe patents should be made harder to get. Obvious, right? With millions of patents being added every year and hundreds of millions already in effect, the system has become so convoluted that the little man inventor, the only person supposedly benefiting from a relatively cheap patenting process, doesn't stand a chance of enforcing his patent or even being sure that it's valid. Charge a million dollars for patents and use the money to buy health insurance for families, or cat food for sickly hedgehogs or something equally worthy.
Correlation is not causation. People who get graduate degrees may simply have brains which are less susceptible to dementia, or were subjected to some environmental condition, eg relative wealth, which makes it less common in their socio-economic group. You'd know that if you worked in a proper scientific field. I kid.
This whole topic is akin to asking. "Hi! I'm going to be working with cats, old newspapers and a bunch of kites at the weekend. How much string will I need?"
There are some interesting books being discussed but a lot of people seem to be taking the opportunity to trot out how intellectual they are. I actually own a lot of those high-brow books. I own them, I just haven't read them. Not when I have this stack of Star Wars novels to get through.
If you leave after 20 years but before you're 60, you get nothing.
Why do people put up with that?
I get that the US is dog eat dog, but why do the dogs put up with it? It comes across as a little third world, every time I see that my insurance covers Panama, Haiti, but not the US.
Cuba is an effort-free vacation spot. The US? I have no idea. I can't risk finding out.
A photographers ability to turn chaff into wheat with Photoshop should not be discounted. That's a skill. If not in ads, then in Xmas cards, family circulars, club news and... local advertising, where by the time anyone notices, nobody cares anymore...
No, it sure isn't. Maybe she just saved that hypothetical inventor's life, on the other hand. I feel those erudite, yet lacking innovation, they deserve to be leveraged against. That is, considering how often true innovators are stifled and devalued. Stuff like this, if a successful innovation can solve a trillion dollar problem with a few dollars--said innovator should feel free to offer it to all sides. Maybe you don't ask for a trillion dollars, although, you could ask for a lot more than $100K.
Your comment feels like a puzzle I must unravel.
The 100k is a prize. There is probably an awful lot more development to do before this becomes an actual treatment, and there is nothing to say the talented winner won't earn ten times, or a hundred times the prize money by the time that treatment is fully developed. I'd say her career is almost assured at this stage, and that alone is probably worth millions.
It persists in large part because Steam allows it to. Considering how dominant it is as a store, I have a hard time believing that they're being strong armed on the issue.
Put simply, you're wrong. While they have an all-encompassing approach to considering a product for publishing, the old-world publishers and developers do not. Far fewer developers get published on Steam than the developers would like, and far fewer major games get published on Steam than Steam would like.
It might change, we might have the multiple services issue, or it might get incorporated into the OS. Please don't be the last thing.
There's an under-swell of talk about getting ham equipment as some sort of antidote to potential Government crackdowns on the Internet and Mobile communications. For those people who follow up on the talk, the last thing they'll do is get a license.
Can I add Sauerbraten ( http://sauerbraten.org/ ) to that list for games. Also, as Optimism mentions lower down, the DRM-free games from Indie Royale, Humble Bundle and GOG can be bought for cheap. In the case of the Humble Bundle games, for ridiculously cheap.
If the "competition" (ie ticks on the back of an elephant) isn't happy with the situation they should band together and spend the billions building their own fibre network. It's that or the fibre gets nationalized (thereby dooming it to inadequate growth, sloppy supervision and spiralling costs) and every ISP gets equal access, but that will kill innovation dead.
BT inherited the copper monopoly at the time, and legislation opened up their exchanges to competition. But you hit the nail on the head. BT innovate, run the infrastructure and handle all the external servicing. Even if you get your fibre product from someone other than BT, it's a BT engineer that comes out to fix it if something goes wrong.
BT do NOT have a fibre monopoly. Talking about them as if they did is reactionary. Virgin Media, while not available to 100% of the UK and saddled with crazy debt they're slowly paying off, are generally the ones to be beaten by BT, and not the other way around.
Can't we all just agree, Facebook is bad?
Let's not get Johnny Law involved.
Facebook is bad.
I left most of my junk mail out on my yard for the pigeons to eat. If they don't eat it, you can have it marketing companies. Once you fight for my Jobberjob statement with a seagull, I figure you've earned it.
That is the curious thing. I actually don't hate answers.com, and it every so often does answer a question I've had. But I don't need to log in to see those answers. The people logging in, presumably are mainly the content-providers that write the articles that earn them nickels and dimes a time. As I see it, this is answers.com willingly eating itself to get the last dregs from the business model.

One kid in the middle of a bunch of adults, all screaming facts at him? Come on, it's worth a try.

All? Those? Employees?
No. Different employees are getting different jobs. Those other jobs? Those jobs are gone. It's dynamic.
Porn cam working out for you then?

We? As in you and the mouse in your pocket?
But the Tu-4 weighed more than the B-29, they couldn't build the tires and had to buy them on the US Military Surplus market post-war.
Due to limitations on resources rather than limitations on engineering expertise.
That's what news moves in. Some hop on early, some late. They all hop on. Cycles.

Until it was pointed out that the in-game enemies are all Australian and it was passed.
Questions were raised in the Australian parliament about the situation. Questions like, "New Whatnow?"
That didn't really happen.
