No disrespect to C10 pilots, but aren't fighter\bomber pilots the top of their class? I'm not a USAF vet, but I would think most fighter pilots scored higher than other pilots at flight school.
IANAD, but your example of the appendix is not a clear cut case. How most of the human body actually functions on a microbial level is not understood. The appendix could serve a function that is perhaps redundant, but helpful.
At the bare minimum, you need to move closer to where you work. Your commute is costing you your health and is eating your paycheck. Looking at the money you are making versus the costs, you might be better off working at the 7-11 down the street.
Where does your social life fit in to this? I know when I work a 60+ hour week I need the weekend just to unwind, let alone see friends or do things I enjoy.
My solution, get an apartment within 5 miles of your work and then ride a bicycle there.
You can work in finance and have a CS degree. There is work to do when it comes to managing risk and tons of information to track and analyze. If you are math or CS oriented and you like playing the stock market, it is an interesting area to be in.
Now this probably isn't the best time to find one of these jobs, but assuming the economy doesn't collapse completely, hedge funds and others are still hiring.
Arnold might have to pay his own IT workers overtime! California is in a financial crisis, it just doesn't seem that way relative to the rest of the world!
It all boils down to pr0n. Exposure to pr0n at a very young age can really damage a kid.
There are physical and governmental restrictions to what children can and can not do offline. TV has the V chip and FCC censoring it for minors. Magazines need to be bought somewhere, I really doubt someone would sell pr0n to a prepubescent, let alone a minor.
Online, typing in the wrong URL can take you to a pr0n site. Monitoring and restricting a child's use of the internet is really the only way to let them on it at all before they become teenagers. At which point its all going to pot anyway!

If your TA (who is the one most likely to grade your code) ever talks to you, I would hope he or she mentions how readable your code is.
That said, I have met some very anti-social CS TAs, but they would express their dislike for unreadable code with low marks.
As a younger person in the world of IT, I question how much longer things like COBOL survive. My theory is that with the aging Baby Boomer population, those IT managers will soon head off to retirement. Younger folks will look at that COBOL as something that needs to go and with Bob gone, we can slowly bring that system to the 21th century.
As an aside,/. had this little quote at the bottom of the page when reading TFS: "senility, n.: The state of mind of elderly persons with whom one happens to disagree." I thought it was fitting.

FTFA "This latest chip will also be fundamentally different from those made before. Neither Godson-1 nor -2 is compatible with Intel's so-called x86 architecture, meaning that most commercial software will not run on them. But engineers have added 200 additional instructions to Godson-3 to simulate an x86 chip, which allows Godson-3 to run more software, including the Windows operating system. And because the chip architecture is only simulated, there is no need to obtain a license from Intel."
I was wondering how they managed to build something that would not infringe on anyone's patents. I however would guess that Intel and AMD Engineers are looking closely at this chip, any single patent violation and I see both companies jumping on this company and preventing its sale in as many countries as possible.
The emulation would seem to keep it out of the main competition between AMD and Intel, however it seems the next move is to a Chinese OS... Time to brush up on my Mandarin!
I just wanted to thank you, your mention of HDHomerun was the first time I had seen a box which can handle QAM signals. Had I heard about this a month ago, I might be using it right now instead of the box from Cox.
That America has been losing its edge for years and every time you look around, the problem is accelerating? Do new research labs not get any press? Or is it really the case that more and more corporate research labs are being shut.
I know American Universities are still considered tops, but how much longer will that even matter?

Not to say that makes them better leaders...

Well gee, maybe the hundreds of employees who work, eat, and live near these headquarters.
Assuming of course that at least some of them pay taxes...
I for one welcome our new monopolistic-service-providing overlords.
Fixed that for you.
I'm sure you are grief-stricken, but that topic is one article that way. (down)
On the main page of course.
Do you have a stack of them around because you have actually managed to wear one out?
I imagine they are excellent paperweights. I used one back in high school and I felt safer in the lab for it!
Yes it can run Crysis, but you shouldn't put anything flammable near it while you play.
You need a Thinkpad, its the only laptop I've used that manages switching displays moderately well.
No, I don't work for IBM/Lenovo.

That doesn't make a lick of sense, a digital signal broadcasting at the same power as an analog signal should be receivable farther from the tower...
