I know of folks at financial firms around here who have those kinds of salaries...in IT, no less!
Again, bigger and more well-known places are usually the ones to offer huge salaries to interns. The only thing, I think, is that those intern compensation rates are usually equivalent to their starting salaries. Could be wrong, though.
You've got to admit, though; with housing and probably transportation covered, those people could almost live like entry-level rock stars for a few months...or save to live that life later on.
It's usually the bigger companies that offer these perks for their interns. That and the high pay they receive are usually the incentives for students to work kind of hard to get a spot in one of these programs...
Hence, it's no surprise that because these companies are bigger, there would be an increased risk of dealing with crappy managers and boring dead-end work. Overall, the people I know that have worked in such companies were usually happy with their expereinces...
I think most people already get the idea that viewing things in 3D requires special glasse, so I hardly doubt that it would be a significant problem. Plus, people would probably use it to view only 3D-capable movies; I'm skeptical that this would be the enabler for popular sitcoms going 3D any time soon...
Except porn, but only because porn knows no bounds.
I completely agree. I always felt that every new Motorola phone after the RAZR was...a derivative of the RAZR (or something like it). I wish that they had spent more time improving the firmware on these devices, or, at the very least, spending time on making other phones people would actually want.
I can't say I'm surprised. After the RAZR fad passed and the Q flopped, Motorola had very few alternatives to turn to; Windows Mobile wasn't one of them. This could be their great restart, and I'd really like to see them make a strong comeback into the market.
Maybe they could set another first and make the Android flip-phone (like they did with the MPX200)...?
What is the benefit of Activesync or RPC over HTTPS? From my experience these seem to be kludgy hacks to make Exchange's protocol perform some of the basic features every other mail protocol can do easily.
Exchange over Activesync allows mobile devices to use most of Outlook's key functionality on supported mobile phones. This protocol is supported by Windows Mobile, BlackberryOS (with an intermediary BES server), iPhoneOS and any device capable of using GoodLink (which an intermediary GoodLink server). Yes, you can mimic similar functionality using Google IMAP4, Calendar and Contacts sync on the Android, but not only does this solution lack practically all of the remote management capabilities integrated into EAS (including remote wipe and mobile policies), it also doesn't support synchronization of Tasks (supported by Windows Mobile and BlackberryOS) and text messages (with Exchange 2010 and Windows Mobile 6.5 or higher.) It also raises privacy concerns, as all information must be stored on Google's servesr instead of a trusted site. None of these might matter for personal consumers, but would be insurmountable concerns for any company that deal with compliance (i.e. the customers that *really* make these companies money).
Similarly, "Seamless integration with Outlook"? Microsoft refuses to support 3rd party servers and protocols in their software. No one can make them other than the government.
Fortunately Outlook isn't even a good mail client. "Requires Outlook" is a negative on Exchange, not a positive on Exchange and a negative on everything else.
WTF are you talking about? If you were referring to mail protocols, you're wrong; Outlook supports POP3 and IMAP4, which are the two most common inbound mail delivery protocols used, as well as SMTP, which is the de facto mail sending protocol used. If you meant connectors and add-ins for other services, you're also wrong; there are MANY examples of software that hooks into Outlook to extend its functionality; Google Cal sync is one, Zimbra Connector is another, along with the tons and tons of spam, junk mail and mail control services available...
In regards to Outlook's performance as a mail client, from an industrial perspective, it really doesn't matter how good or bad YOU think it is; what matters is that EVERYBODY uses it (relatively speaking). Additionally, I never even said Exchange requires Outlook, since it uses nothing proprietary to send and receive mail...
Come back when you've actually USED Outlook, Exchange or, hell, any groupware product please...
Following up on this, I think that "unschooling" is really what a parent should be doing as soon as their children are born...
Using "unschooling" as an excuse to ditch school is, in most cases, horribly irresponsible. However, doing those things before the child starts formal school can make a SIGNIFICANT difference in how they learn going forward.
Personally, I don't know what my Mom and Dad did when I was younger, but all I know is that I always wanted and enjoyed going to school, where most of my peers didn't...
Actually, I have seen seniors who look extremely impressive at their old age (think looking 45-50 at 70). Those are usually the ones that age very gracefully and take care of their bodies, so those are quite rare to run into.
I'm not really into "collecting" pics of hot women (or really getting captivated by them), but this is why you move to a city. A big one. Women like this are all over the place here. Some of them are actually quite smart too. SOME.
Have fun. There's plenty of evidence suggesting that being slightly overweight is actually a really good thing, especailly for women who were designed to operate this way. Howver, the literature I've read also suggests that a good exercise regimen accompanied by a sound diet is also highly recommended. Doing the latter usually prevents a person from becoming overweight, so...
This viewpoint is shortsighted to the max. Yes, many women who "had it" in their younger years fail to uphold their appearance and lose that edge. So do men; in fact, they usually lose it faster. (Yeah...ever notice those 20-something guys that bulk up for the chicks? Those guys are usually fat and balding in their 30s.)
On the other hand, I've seen some people in their 30s or approaching 40s that look frozen at 25. Most of those folks are very attractive, but the dfference between them and their peers is that they knew that their bodies were something that needs maintenance to keep looking and working good.
And maintenance doesn't mean a small pizza pie at 8pm, followed by beer and TV. (That seems to be commonplace in my "college" town...which is really an extension of NYC.)
I didn't read the article (of course), but this is understandable, considering how geishas in Japan are designed to illicit this effect, and is the main reason why (hot) women work well as accomplices/ploys in a crime.
Exactly. They were the first ones to actually design an intuitive search interface. All of the other "intuitive" search interfaces afterwards were heavily based on this concept (remember when Yahoo attempted the same thing?)
Microsoft will (hopefully) be releasing Windows Mobile 7 at the end of the year. Their currently supported version is v6.1, though many people have happily upgraded to their (very) reliable v6.5 betas (myself included). WM7 will focus on an OS-wide finger-friendly UI (which WM6.5 sort of has, but not quite entirely) and improved usability.
Honestly though, its competitors are really starting to sap up all of their competitive advantages, which is starting to spell the beginning of the end for its relevance. The only reason why I haven't adopted an Android-based device is because of its lack of Exchange support.
As far as web browsing goes, Opera Mobile works very well on Windows Mobile, as does Skyfire (when it's not bugging out to the max).
You were duped, bud. This article was definitely *not* a performance metric analysis; it was another shilltastic article from an IT newbie using questionable "facts" and two completely different testbeds that posed as a performance comparison.
Both operating systems are great from technical and aesthetic standpoints, but this article fails to highlight why.
I believe he was referring to the notification icons on the right hand side of the Windows start bar. There was indeed a systray process in Win9x and earlier WinNT operating systems that handled this, as observed in this really quick Google search.
I'm not saying that there are problems in funding PhDs. In fact, that's one of the main reasons why I decided to NOT pursue one and go straight for industry instead (though that might change in the coming years). Working professionally can provide the challenges and workload that I'm looking for, but with much higher reimbursement for my time.
On the other hand, why are there people studying History or the Arts at the doctorate level, when those students are well-aware that there is practically ZERO money in those fields? I believe that in those cases, the simple answer is the best answer. Not to forget that it's an achievement for many to have "Dr." appended to their name.

I'm not that proficient with networking, but something seems like your knowledge is a bit off...

I wish this argument would stop.
OS X is $30 if the user already has a Mac to install it on. The Mac is a way away from $30.
In terms of the proposed analogy (I hate car analogies, btw), it's like purchasing an Infiniti M at that price...if you already own a 2009 Infiniti.

Usually to sate a passion. Sometimes, it's not about the money.
