I graduated in 2010 with a BS in Computer Science and managed to have a Software Developer job lined up beforehand. I started with a pretty bottom barrel salary at $40k for a local startup. I have leveraged some fairly good demand here in the Northwest to now be starting in a new position next week making $75k, in a city where the average household income is $39k. Moving up is all about getting your foot in the door and then using your experience to move around where there is demand for good developers. Now, I may not be anywhere near the $200k talked about in the article, but my salary compared to my cost of living is pretty good whereas I would venture a guess that those close to that upper range are living in places where the salary to cost of living ratio probably isn't a lot different than where I'm at right now.
Your best bet it to hire a management consultant to review the practices of your IT department to see where they are failing and and how to correct it.
Given the first sentence of the post, it appears that OP is that consultant.
I have been asked by a medium-sized business to help them come to grips with why their IT group is ineffective, loathed by all other departments, and runs at roughly twice the budget of what the CFO has deemed appropriate for the company's size and industry.
Not sure if this addresses your particular issues, but I use f.lux and it has totally saved my eyes. I periodically lower the settings on it, which continues to help with my eye strain and I'm so used to it I forget it is running most of the time.
They are leading because they are first to market with a GPU that uses GDDR4 memory and from TFA the card has a memory bandwith of over 61 Gb/s which is over 10 Gb/s faster than an nvidia 7900 GTX.
I think the real breakthrough here is that using this pigment allows the same process at more reasonable temperatures as opposed to only cryogenic -200C temps. This would indicate a big step forward into actually making this a viable technology.
And [now] with me really being the guy who's here every day running the place, I must be the champion of innovation. That doesn't mean I must be the guy who comes up with every innovation, but I really have to carry the mantle that says we're going to innovate, we're going to do new things, we're going to get into new areas, we're going to protect and nurture all kinds of innovation. That is my role.
Historically, one of the most effective ways to increase voter turnout is to force people to live under dictatorial rule for an extended period of time.
Following this logic we should have a GREAT turnout come November 2008.
I am a CS major, but still fairly early into my degree. My first programming class was intro to Java using Eclipse for the IDE. We used Eclipse for the first and second quarter of Java and then when my third quarter programming class came along which was in C. My teacher (the same for all 3 courses) then moved us from programming in Eclipse on Windows, to Emacs on Linux. It only took a class or two to get everyone rolling in both Linux and Emacs and we all like it a lot more.
Starting with an IDE helped make it easy to get some code written and compiled so we could learn the fundamentals quickly, but as we got better at programming, switching to Linux and Emacs made us see what the IDE was doing for us. I feel this was very effective and has helped lay a stable foundation for me.
It seems to me that anyone reading slashdot that works in the industry might be happy to know that if in the server market, they can now get AMD servers from another major player. *You* may find this boring, but by no means does that mean that *everyone* finds it boring.

You seem to be horribly misinformed. Sony still has yet to start manufacturing on the PS3 so it looks like all of them will have the slower GPU. http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/21/ 1235256

Good ole Deadwood. My favorite has to be "Fuck us all for the limberdick cocksuckers we are."
Shooting soda out my nose wasn't exactly the way I planned to start my day, but thanks anyway.

Nice innovation there Steve...

No it means human's next evolutionary step is the ability to fly, thus avoiding use of snake infested planes.
There are a number of CEO's that take a $1 paycheck. The CEO of Yahoo for example http://news.com.com/2100-1030_3-6079650.html
This is not that they are such great CEO's necessarily, but it is also because they are making plenty of money without a large salary. http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/P143257.asp
He didn't say they were using MS fonts, but asked why not. Read the post before you reply to it.
Sounds like someone needs a cookie.
