The kids aren't as bad as their parents are.

I hope they get the full billion+ lawyers fees.

I also hope the GS representatives are charged with felony fraud, and their assets frozen so they have to rely on disinterested public defenders.

Yeah, I can dream.

Apple's not cool anymore.

With their domination of the tablet market, the fanatical following of their phones, and the dominance of the portable music devices, not to mention their obsession with being cool; these factors can only lead me to one conclusion: Apple is not cool anymore.

Simply because its not cool to be part of the herd. And The Cult of the Fruit is one big herd.

So you're telling me that you're going to accept a judges opinion on what's cool?

I'm friends with a few judges and retired judges, nice guys, but I'm not taking advice on what's cool from them.

I have one and I agree 100% with the GP.

It was killed by the Democrats, because Ronny Raygun, Bush I and rest of the cut taxes while spending more money Republicans put us way the fuck in debt.

So what?

You want to build an app for IOS, sell it for a buck or 5 and act like a pro.

If you want to give it away as portfolio material so someone might give you a job. The stop whining and spend the $100 as a cost of education. Maybe you'll get a job or maybe not. But its still a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of money you don't make by not having a job, or the amount of money you spend getting an education.

$99 is a drop in the bucket. How do you recoup the $100/hr that you as an independent contractor should be charging for your labor?

Unless of course your time isn't worth anything.

Pay for performance is only a world wide metric if you consider the song and dance performances corporate officers give to justify their obscene salaries.

Seriously their only real job skill is selling their own self worth to their bosses, or board of directors.

First keep your work and your personal shit separate.

Second, since they insist on having the ability to https, in reality they probably aren't the kind of people you want to be working for in the first place. So I would recommend leaving, because it reflects the nature of their character, as opposed to that being a specific behavior.

There may be specific instances where this may be acceptable; so this is only a general rule to go by.

Just because they have the degree doesn't mean they will be able to utilize the knowledge.

There are plenty of pinheads out there with degrees who have never been able to get decent jobs.

How about the abolition of private prisons?

Oh, wait they're convicted felons and don't deserve human rights either; never mind go on about your business.

Have him put together a resume and get it online, he should at least be able to get a contract job.

Then there's the big consulting firms like Accenture, they love guys with degrees other than CS.

And as others have said, network.

But do not take a job doing techsupport, it's a career limiting move and it won't actually be developing marketable job skills.
