I'm replying to the school of thought that "It's good enough for my enemy to do it, so I should to". I hoped you where making light on April first, but that's a dangerous line of thought... "turn about is fair"... especially if used in war. That's the kind of though that says hiding among innocent people and ignoring rules of war is acceptable.
That's more a problem with passing along bad information My point was that the act of relaying data from Mr. X to Mrs. Y via Mrs. V because Y and V are friends and Y trusts that X is not giving false information has been going on in sales for as long as I can remember.
Yeah, but advertisers have known this for a while. Word of mouth from a "trusted source" carriers far more weight than from just a talking head; even when the trusted source is quoting the talking head
You're only young one but you can be immature and irresponsible for you whole life then hope that someone will come along bail you out before you implode in on yourself...(I'm looking at you bear stearns)
There's also the argument of "cost to keep working vs. Cost of upgrade"
Many times I've seen historic pieces of IT Architecture in place because the cost to upgrade/train/retain/etc was a lot higher than dusting HAL every few thousand miles. If the vendor is going o keep supporting it why abandon it?
Anyone who isn't willing to do whatever they need to do to learn good JavaScript...
Well... there IS a limit *wipes mouth*
I agree though, sometimes there's a new trick that you never though of in a book and it's always nice to have a reference library that doesn't rely on Google.
It's more a generation gap. While people in my generation are well versed on how to navigate Google and all it's side dark alleys for the gold nugget the boss is really looking for the older boss just wants it to work and is more prone to hit the "I'm feelin' lucky" button and trust what that tells them. That's where the tech snoops like us come in handy to find the obscure and convoluted information on the net. On more that one occasion the uppers have come to me to find something online because I can find it faster and more accurately.
While we're at it: we should point out that there is a difference between
a) Contemporary Art
b) Modern Art
While I hear people use the terms interchangeably all the time, they are two distinct forms of art.
I would of loved to see your routine and probably joined in while my SO would of beaten me to a pulp (bloody artists). I agree with your statement that modern art is mostly bollocks and the people who view it with no understanding doubly so.
It does have it's place in the art world on social commentary and the like, but many times that is lost on the lesser attempt to try being commercially artistic. Artist's Shit comes to mind.
knew I had learned something important:
Art, modern art anyways - is a load of rubbish.
No, what you learned was that a lot of people who wander around who look at modern art are pretentious and know nothing about art and just want to impress their girlfriends who took them to the met by following and agreeing with the artsy looking people.
I have a B.S. in Computer Engineering with substantial (60 + semester hours) in coursework in accounting and business-related stuff. I got offers varying from helpdesk support ( $35K) to I.T. analyst ($40K) to electronics engineering ($50K). This is somewhere around the Chicago area.
At the end I passed all these and shooting for a PhD.
You have to start somewhere. Yes, it's nice that you have all this education but where are you applying and how? If you expect to jump into that 70, 80, 90k a year job, read my above statement... Life is NOT fair cupcake. You may have to spend time at the help desk or writing crap code before you get minions of your own Pawn
"Many of the brightest students may struggle while mediocre scholars can earn top scores." For many students, earning a degree in engineering is less than enjoyable and far from what they expected. If you want to complain about your education, this is your chance."
That's true in school and real life kid. I'd like to tell you life is fair... But then I'd be lying and in a management position.
Just re-member that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at nine-hundred miles an hour.
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, a Sun that is the source of all our power.
The Sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see, are moving at a million miles a day,
In an outer-spiral arm at forty-thousand miles an hour, of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred-billion stars, it's a hundred thousand lightyears side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen-thousand lightyears thick, but out by us it's just three-thousand lightyears wide.
We're thirty thousand lightyears from Galactic central point, we go round every two-hundred-million years.
And our Galaxy is only one of millions of billion in this amazing and expanding Universe
The Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding in all of the directions it can whizz.
As fast as it can go, the speed of light you know, twelve-million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure how amazing unlikely is your birth.
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, 'cos there's buger all down here on Earth!
Do you really mean to say that you looked at a story called "Book Reviews: Matter" and thought, "Hey, a nice science story. I wonder if it has any string theory or zombie Feynman?"
It didn't have "book review" tacked on it before cupcake. Glad to see the editors fixing mistakes
How so? Are you suggesting that Matter is lacking in Gravitas?
I'm suggesting the article title is misleading to people interested in science, not science fiction... Though, this is slashdot. I should of expected a slightly misleading headline.

I smell a market for a project projector protector!

True, It seems to take a special lot to navigate the field of search queries and results.
I know we should start a business around that idea... Oh wait...
