  1. Re:Not That Easy on How Much Money do Programmers Really Make? · · Score: 0

    You can get a job coming out of DeVry, as long as you spend whatever time you have left working your ass off to specialize in one hyper-specialized area and are willing to put that knowledge to work on a decent paying 6 month contract. Of course, once that contract is up, you'll be homeless for about 3 more years until the next similar but highly-specialized contract comes along. Welcome to the wonderful world of IT.

    NEW site? Why don't you crawl out from under that rock you've been living under and accept the fact that just because YOU haven't seen a site mentioned on Slashdot doesn't mean it hasn't been there? I've been reading SA for YEARS and think they're awesome. That's opinion of course, so don't waste your breath refuting that; instead look at http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.somethinga wful.com. They go back to AT LEAST the year 2000. NOT new.

    You are correct in that raising a stink with the police would likely be a bad idea. In this day and age the first amendment clearly states "anything you say can and will be used against you."

    Now that I've gotten off my soapbox, it would be useful to point out that even if the guy was not making a scene at Best Buy, any officer called out there can basically lock up any person(s) they like for X amount of hours without a formal charge.

    So chances are they're just following protocol in locking him up because it's easier to sort out that way. Of course, there is no protocol in police handbooks that say to look objectively at both sides.

    Fact of the matter is, the consumer is always guilty until proven innocent (while remaining guilty in everyone's eyes thanks to the media.)

    Hopefully this one is root level, unlike my last attempt. Wow. Several hundred comments on this and not ONE about how to take action and let your voice be heard at that specific best buy or police department. Unlike any other flame, I'll answer my own complaint. Here's hoping we can let our voice be heard. Keep in mind that all the news articles out there claim different things. They all say the Best Buy is in Lutherville, but a google map of lutherville is TOWSON or TIMONIUM. Makes no sense. Anyhow, I gathered up a bunch of PUBLICLY AVAILABLE data and here's the info.
