One of the few who I know who have successfully made that jump. Be careful not to get type cast into a type of role. Once people are seen as testers, it can be tough for them to break out of that caste.
Are you crazy. There are a ton of opportunities for people with technical aptitude, and the abstraction and logical problem solving ability a CS program teaches you.
I am now in Customer Relationship Management marketing, where we do database marketing, customer behavior modeling, segmentation etc.
We desperately need people who know there way around large data warehouses, can hack some basic SQL and code, and can figure out how to get the data that is locked up by IT into a format that we can use to drive meaningful customer experiences.
I imagine there are plenty of other professions where the ability to manipulate data, and drive business objectives based on it, is a highly demanded skill and can be highly rewarded financially.
CS != programming. In fact I would discourage any CS students from going into IT. IT is dead, its just the 21st century equivalent of paper pushing. Most IT shops are big bloated bureaucracies. They totally kill creativity. Go into the buisness side and actually have an impact and some influence.
Here I always thought it was the servers, data infrastructure, advanced developmental work, and systems design and implementation.
Workstation management for all the companies I have worked for has been a PITA for us 'business users' who need to get things done.
I think in general they take a much to hands on approach which ties our hands and takes their time. I am glad that they are finally recognizing that people can take care of themselves a little bit.
The problem with Dell and others is that they go over the top and make it seem to be over the top. You are forgetting about the hundreds of 'impressions' that you are being inundated with all day.
Those subtlety influence your decisions and world view in general, and are very effective.
Some of them are over the top, but those ones are generally considered failures anyway. Try to pay attention to all the adverts you see, if for nothing else than to make your boycott legitimate.
I believe the industry cliche of the day is, "Marketing so good, it feels like a service."
All the people I know in the offline and online direct marketing business are doing very interesting things with data, but relevancy to you on an individual level is what they are striving for.
Why not just write a.cmd script that repeats the character for system beep, loop it. Or use Net send and do the same, but loop it on your end, so you don't have to trick them into running the script.
Wouldn't it be easier to use a better metric like torque pounds, or something that measures power, not speed, when we want to be sure the power of the vehicle is appropriate?
What are the advantages of using.docx,.xlsx file formats? I have set my office programs to save in the old.doc and.xls formats just because they seem to be more sharable with people who haven't upgraded. I also have thought to myself, "I have been using.doc for over a decade, why switch?"
Slashdot Mirror
I think that further validates the point, right?
I kid Steve Jobs.
You throw out Turning's before Babbage?
Did your CS program have no history requirements?
I believe it is called syncopation.
Are they still making/modding flight sims? I was just thinking how awesome they used to be and how you cant fine them around anymroe.
Seriously, can you post your favorites for somone who would love to get back into it.
Hey, at least I can smoke when 'filling my tank.'
Am I right, am I right!

You don't/didn't live in Minnesota do you?
His tenure as governor was an embarrassment.
Don't forget covering up Mai Lai.

I look at it this way. Maybe he'll have a lot more time to code now that he is in prison. So maybe OSS will win because of this.
I ain't got time to bleed.

they can continue to use their current version of their favorite program.
If they think the new features are worth it to them, they can buy a new computer.
Damn, that pesky 14th amendment always seems to get in the way.

Now if only we could have our own coffee pots.
More importantly it allowed them to re-negotiate their bottling contracts with local independent bottling companies.
Inject..... Kidding right? They don't call it Booger Sugar just for fun.

As Bill Maher said, "This election is going to be Youtube vs. feeding tube."
They'll just leapfrog the Apple hardware strategy.
The prize is sponsored by Progressive Insurance; coincidental to your point.

So is there a good reason to switch?
You're just a cynical Gen-X Hipster. Your attitudes are typical of those in your generation.
We Millenials (along with the boomers) are much more comfortable with and trusting of the 'Good Government'
Your view is probably the better one to have, but the attitudes of Gen-X are mostly limited to them.
