I am canadian, and if we are the most scientiically literate. I really pity the rest of you.
I pity us also. Does Canada have lots of relatively successful* politicians with whackadoodle opinions on climate change, Earth's age, and female reproductive biology?
* In terms of votes, not intelligence ranking.
There's a ROFL episode of Big Bang where a cast member is using a robot hand for "personal pleasure", when it locks up.
There goes my Intelligent Sliding theory. Now how am I gonna get chicks?
It's just released, and it's already on version 33?
No, that's a "microscope", son.
Yes, there is a dog. (They used a reflector scope, it makes a mirror image.)
The orange cones gave it a way...unless they evolved from dunce-caps or something.
Call me when the fish can do my taxes.
AT&T keeps adding "insurance" charges to our bill without asking. They make up odd excuses to keep adding it back after removal, something like, "Oh, you said, 'Are you sure', I thought you said, "You insure us".
Reminds me of the browser Spam Bar prompts: "Are you sure you don't want to not add the Ask Tool Bar? _Yes _No"
Making huge discoveries about the universe without leaving mom's basement? Nerdgasm!
If you like the field of statistics it seems a better long-term bet than IT. The "laws" of math are not going to change in 40 years, where-as in IT the languages, GUI's, frameworks, and Paradigm Fad of the Day will change...several times. Plus it won't give you Carpel Tunnel (unless you can't trick a grunt into data entry). You are expected to know the domain (industry) such that outsourcing is not as likely either.
Software may pay more in the short term, but career-wise, stats seems more stable.
I do divide by 3, and my friends divide by 3.
I'm a TW customer, and I didn't notice the difference because TW always sucks (and so does their sole competition in the area. F oligopolies).
Some outsource STEM to Asia, others to heaven. Same diff: both have a funny accent and accept less pay.
