The only problem is that all the people complaining will be the first ones in line or have their TIVO recording it. STOP watching it and paying money THEN something might change.
Actually this person does realize that she needs to start lower but in reality if she is a hard worker and have decent people skills could advance pretty quickly. I sense some jealousy on the part of some of the slashdotters on here, degrees let alone masters degrees are rare in the IT field from my experience. Too many times when we have interviews and we get people fresh out of college they are discriminated by my coworkers because in my opinion they feel that they are a threat since corporate likes us to have degrees.
If this person plays their cards right and works hard and listens and learns she will advance probably far quicker than most people. When I earned my degree while working I received a 28 percent raise. I changed places of work and earned another 20 percent with the change. I started my Masters Degree part time and will be completed next year and was hired for a senior engineer position making 30 percent more than my last job. College gets you noticed if combined with experience. If you have a bunch of resumes that are equally qualified and only one of the bunch has a degree then you have a definate advantage over the rest.
And what kind of replacement warranty are you offering? And put in a legal copy of Windows XP (120$) you are way over the Dell price. If the Dell machine dies you call them, they send out a replacement.
"The truth is, I personally have fired atleast 1000 bullets from a variety of guns this year. Not a single one of them on humans. The same is true for atleast 20 people that I personally know."
But you did not use your gun for what it was intended for or created for, so this is like saying you practiced driving in your parking lot 1000 times yet never took your car on the highway.
The gun was not invented for shooting at paper targets it was created to shoot people for the military and for protection of your property.
