I use tabs when shopping online. Add everything to my cart that I want then fill out all the junk they need. Its fairly simple, I do this on TG.com, Amazon.com, many computer supply stores, ect.
Why don't you read up on the issues, form your own opinions and vote. That makes me mad. I was well informed, more than other peers of mine during the 2004 elections and I was not old enough to vote. Then there were all the people who were old enough to vote but did not because they felt that it would not affect them this year. Or "Oh I don't have the time." I don't care if it is a midterm people should learn about the issues affecting them in today's society and form their own opinion, not one based upon a specific side, but one based on what they all feel is right. I do vote mostly democrat, however when I find something that I just can't agree with I will vote republican or independent. It would be nice if people did this a bit more often then we would not have people voting down party lines. There is a reason why I am listed as a independent.
Maybe I'm an idealist in some respects, but I think that people should not be ignorant and we should have one of the highest voter turnout anywhere because we were built on the idea and philosophy of democracy.
My business teacher said that a place that has a human resources department will put people with little experience or education that have 1 year or more in the fast food place into the stack of interviewees. When you work fast food for a year you learn how to really work. They work you hard for little money, my brother knows that. He has worked at KFC for about a year and a half now and he gets burned out every 4 to 6 months because he works long hours or works right after school and wakes up for school the next day at 6 am. He will probably stay there until he goes to college and get better chance at landing a job than someone who never worked until college or even after college.
I'm not leaching off my parents, I'm getting loans that I will have to pay back. I may even go for 5 years so I'll have about 125k after college roughly to pay back if I don't pay anything now, which I don't think I will do. I'm doing three associate degrees right now, Programming and Software Development, Network Administration, and Informational Services and Support. After I get them I figure I can get a decent job and live off campus; go to school full time and work and pay off my crap as I go along. I want a BA and they have this great plan. I choose everything I want to do I just have to fill up some basic requirements, like two semesters of english, one of math, two of science and one lab, and three elective courses. I've got most of that done by now and I'll be able to be out by either my 9th semester (4.5 years) or 10th semester (5 years). It will only add an extra two years tops to my college education, but that will look great, and I will be able to take the theory classes without going overboard on that.
Or even make your own programs that do something that is already out there. Thing is to code and keep all that code so you can show it off. But start small. Take a specific language that is not offered at your school, like for me it would be any non Microsoft.Net or java. I learn them already. Learn something, C/C++, perl, python, ruby, etc. Write programs even if they are text based CLI apps to do something. Build a portfolio and keep it backed up on a server somewhere other than your computer, or create a server of your own and back everything up between your two, three, or however many computers.
I agree. I started out as Computer Science and found it to be Math each and every semester, Calc 1-6 and two other ones. The programming courses were about 5 total and random lecture classes that would be great, but not needed. I think 1 of them was a extra class that was not required. Knowing the theory behind everything is great, but what I'm doing now gives me the experience with servers, computers, customer service, and business management. So you should look into the CS degree they have and find out if it is really what you want. Here for me it was very common to do a double major in Mathematics or a minor if they did not want to double major. Even then the first semester I had one programming course and that was all that was technical. All my other CS classes were things like orientation and learning how to be business-like.
Watch what you need to take at the school, if it is too heavily weighted in the direction of math or the theory than it may not be right for you.
But I do recommend getting a job at a computer lab on campus, you will get to know the people who run it and have the opportunity to advance through the ranks easier there during your school years. Here they higher kids to do web development, or database management for them. Simple things, but it builds up nicely and adds to your resume every time you switch.
I know how to change my brakes and with a little help from my dad I can replace many things in my car, but will I, no the ease of paying someone else to do the job for me so I have that free time is better for me. However I do run linux on one machine and regularly test out different distros.That is what most people who blindly run windows do it for, they don't care about what happens and they just want to do xyz out of the box. Which is fine with me, I don't care if someone else uses windows or linux I may recommend that people get some training and use linux instead but I'll never force it on them.
My friend had a 1/8th inch audio jack on his old car radio. It was the best thing, but now his new car does not so he uses a FM broadcaster to have his iPod play music in his car.
I think it would be nice if they could get some engines on it to give it one last good by and send it off into space to take pictures as it flies along... But that is me
I prefer thin phones, but as far as a key lock a button like the iPod would be nice. However I had the candy bar style phone and it worked great until it fell down a flight of stairs into people's walking path. I learned then to keep it in my pocket when going up and down stairs. But the key lock was easy to access, two buttons locked the keys, then you had two buttons to unlock it. It was a straight forward UI and had pretty good battery life till about 2 months before it got destroyed. I think I did something to the battery though. I'd like something like that with bluetooth to sync with my computer, maybe a camera, its cool for some things but not required. I'd like a simple interface, good battery life, my current phone that I don't use too much, a few calls a day gets along for about 3 days. I don't have problems with reception even inside my dorm room, I have Altell.
Ya I think there is a big distinction. Many people will not create their own PVR because they are well technically challenged. Thus companies that make the entire system and call it a DVR (Tivo). Which those companies would have more effects on the general population as a whole and watching commercials then Sanpstream making the software that people have to get around with the hardware and install everything. People take the easy route and pre-built is easier.
This is why I decided not to get the CS degree. I'm getting my own degree tailored just to me. It will have plenty of the technical side plus I have a minor in management so I can be the manager if need be. I guess I'm the first one at my school to do this because it seems as if they have enough of the degrees on each of the other sides, business and technical, but nothing in between. Except now they have something that kinda comes to where I'm working towards so I may have a nice title for my BA, instead of Individualized Studies with a minor in business.
I don't think you can counter it. The people hurt by it will still be hurt and you won't be able to change that. Then Anti-Racist speech makes the racist people spew more racist speech and the cycle continues.
This is good for the more advanced user who makes a/home so they don't lose everything, and possibly a/usr too so they can keep all their old programs. I'm not positive on the/usr because it would mess with that. Anyways until Ubuntu installer makes a/home doing an install every 6 months means average joe smith will have to back up their data.
I'll do it, I'm not intrested in much of that anyways. Only thing on that list was the new James Bond, but I can get over it. As long as I can still watch Scrubs I'm good.
I know what you mean. If I see a good book online and I can read through it if I find it good I'll go buy a copy. I like to know what I'm buying before I drop the cash on it. I always love hardcopy of books too. If I have the choice I'll take the hard copy over a PDF.
I don't care about a display. I care about it holding my music and playing it back for me. Thats about it. I'd like some other features, like more format support but oh well. I would never buy an iPod to watch videos or play the games, I've got other things to do that. My DS works great for games and I hate the small screen to watch videos on, I'd rather have my computer or my TV do that for me.
I have a some of the same things, all toghether though I only have like 10 extentions. But on average useage I only go up to maybe 60 megs of ram, and then I have lots of tabs open, mroe than 15 I would say. I have never come accross anyproblems with firefox slowing down or crashing on me.
True. Wal-Mart is the ultimate symbol of what is wrong with the world today: TOO MANY MIDDLE MEN WHO DO NOTHING IN TERMS OF ORIGINAL PRODUCTION.
From what I know this is horribly wrong. I don't know about anyone else but I worked there, and it is not a bad place to work at while your at college. But their whole business model revolves around the fact of cutting out the middle men. They have distrobution centers that buy everything in bulk and have complex computer systems to send everything out to each store. They mainly buy straight from the manufacturer, however sometimes they have to buy from one or two middle men.
As far as buying digital music and movies I still prefer a physical copy of whatever the CD or DVD is and I hardly buy CDs from Walmart because of their policy in my area to only supply edited music, this may be a nation wide thing, but I don't go to many other walmarts to buy a CD. And then they don't supply many great anime series that I like so I have to go else where anyways. But for things I need I'll go there because I spend a lot less.
I see them all the time at grage sales around my town. During the Summer time when we have a lot of grage sales I see three maybe four the entire year and I watched this one guy maybe 17 - 23 years old buy one.

not much, many of the classes overlap and I'd still have to be here till my junior year.
HUH? I did not see anything that was true in that little statement.

My college does not allow camera phones in the dining halls... I don't see what we will expose there other than the horrid food.
