I'm in a cranky mood today and I feel like puting snotty kids like you in your place - at most you have what - 10 yrs experience.
You see, after 20+ years in IT, you learn a few things. And let's just say, one day, you'll find yourself unemployed, with your skills being "out-of-date" (I don't care what your degrees are or what your skills are), with some snotty nosed kid telling you that you're stupid. Then, you'll remember some older IT worker telling you that this will happen - I never called anyone stupid, but I did look down on the old timers who were out of work - they were mainframers - ("Mainfremers" is an expression that we used to use for someone who worked on mainframe computers. You'll have to look that one up on your own.) Ya see, I thought that they were where they are because they didn't want to learn anything new. Now I know that it's because they thought, due to mgt BS, media BS, or their own collegues BS, that their skills would be viable forever. Technology has a way of changing in a way that you can't anticipate. If anyone could, they'd be so fucking rich, that they'd own the World.
So, sonny, now that I'm board, you need to realize that you arrogance will get you a quick hit in you pathic ego and nothing else.
FTFA in a Nutshell: Sadly, this means there is no simple advice about whether we ought to expect the worst. This study "is part of a very large puzzle", Norem says.
We obviously can't trust a word then.Do you have a single actual fact to cite anywhere here, or do you just feel the need to randomly try to discredit an article because it says that the dreaded Microsoft technology remains the most widespread skill set needed in the IT world?
For one thing, this individual called.NET a language. Two, I could give a shit how popular MS is. Three, just where is CNN's data to back up what they said? Hmmm?! They're the media - you need tho think about that - they are the ones that have the reponsibility. Never beleive what you see in the press. Just because they're on TV or in print, doesn't mean they are right.
I was pointing out that the article writer doesn't know what they're talking about and that it should be taken with a grain of salt for exactly the reasons that I mentioned. You are the one who assumed that I "hate" Microsoft - which is funny because I've made nice money off of the "evil" empire. And as another responder to the grand parent has stated, in his area, at least, there's actually more Java jobs than C# or J#.
Also, I am familiar with the magazine writers world and there is nothing with this article that gives me any confidence that this individual knows what they're talking about.
If you beleive what these business journalists say, you're in for some disappointment.
Remember back in the late 90's, these same folks were saying that technology is just going to keep going up and up. Funny, tech then had one of the biggest unemployment streaks in history and it still hasn't recovered to the point as it was in the late 90s.
I can care less what technology or products are more popular. I just use what workd for me and my business. You beleive what you want. And get and get a grip.
This was making news in the Wall Street Journal and other papers back in the early part of 2002. Maybe that's why the military wants to test at the SB? A huge sample and plenty of possibilities for picking up cancer patients that could lead to positives.
article is a freelancer with a BA English. The research probably was doing a search on Monster.com and seeing how many "jobs" cames up (we all know how that works) and then this person probably talked to their friend who's heard how much (complete guess) her.NET developer friend is making. That's about it. These folks make shit (this article probably got the authoer $200 at most) and they have to pump this crap out as fast as they can to just eat.
I'm working now in a startup phase of an enterprise. I am concentrating on Java, PHP, and other OSS stuff. The reason os so that if I'm using a vendor who I end up not liking, I can pick up and move to another. I don't want to be trapped in the MS world. I've seen some of the corp licensing requirements by MS and the costs of doing business on that platform is only going to increase.
More likely the story is that the old Windows developers are clinging to VC++ and VB instead of making the transition to the new.NET languages.
I brought up Visual Studio.NET and in the "New Project" dialog, you can have a C++.NET project. I've never just taken old Windows C++ code and tried to make it into some sort of.NET app, but I'm sure it woulnd't be hard at all.
I guess of you're under a dealine, and you need to start moving over to a new platform, you'd have no choice but to take any short-cut you can.

When you are about to buy a property, check on the rights of way. If you can't live with it, don't buy the property; otherwise, use it as a negotiating point.
I stand corrected about the right of way. My knowledge is limited to things that happened with pipelines and no other easements. I made the mistake of over-generalizing.
Regarding the deregulation, well, I don't know. Your property may be dug up more often - I'm afraid.
In other words, if the telecom market is deregulated, then you better start hanging out at your town hall.
Now I have to let several other companies trench their infrastructure through my property?
Uh, no. Unless something has chnaged in the last year, or you live in a state with some really wacky right of way laws, they have to negotiate with the property owner to do that. Aside from the roadside right-of-way, they can't just dig up your property and lay cable.
Where did you get the idea that Verizon can just dig up your yard?
will decide. If Verizon throtles their customer's bandwidth down too much, then they'll lose customers - except where they have a monopoly.
The sucky part is that in some parts of the country, they're still a one horse town and they have to bend over and take it. Which is why the telecom market needs to be deregulated even more! Get rid of these asinine local telecom monopolies! The legislation allowing that needs to be removed.
I don't about you, but I think they're getting a real nice return. Unless, their management is comparing their returns to cocaine cartels, then they're doing pretty shitty.
that these pirates can hold in their ships. What they don't say is if that's per ship or per fleet. I don't know. If you don't stop them, they'll get bigger and faster ships, and who knows how much software they can pirate then!
I haven't seen a baby yet choose to be ripped from a womb.
They didn't ask to be conceived or born, either. And considering the environment that some of these babies are born into; they're better off dead. There's plenty of money for wars, corp wellfare, etc..., but, if a woman makes a mistake, one fucking mistake, and decides to have the baby. To do what you'd concider the "right" thing, she gets no support or help. She's condemned by society. Adoption, you say? Hah! Easier said than done!
The game of the anti-abortionists to have babies born - nothing else: no support, help, or anything to babies that are born. When I start hearing that the attitude of carign for the babies that do get born from you folks, then I won't think of you as a bunch of sanctimonious whiners who are more concerned with forcing their morals on others.
I will be very very glad when someone else is elected, so I don't have to hear all those "Bush is an idiot" jokes.
Just see what happens if Hillary Clinton is elected President. Then we'll have to put up with a least 4 years of "Bill being the first lady" jokes! They were bad enough when he was Pres, but four more years! - Uugh!

Clock out of work when the attack happens and go to the corner pub?
Then go home for a couple days!
WooHoo!

Get a grip.

Thank you. This is yet another thing that I'll have to consider when buying property.
Uh, no. Unless something has chnaged in the last year, or you live in a state with some really wacky right of way laws, they have to negotiate with the property owner to do that. Aside from the roadside right-of-way, they can't just dig up your property and lay cable.

end up fucking yourself.

Your right to privacy just about disappears when you walk into your employer's offices.
Or, if they were so "Pro-Life" they wouldn't be sending people off to die overseas for questionable (at best) reasons.
