I don't really feel misled by my university. They were pretty up-front that the degree was not a ticket to get a job designing the space shuttle, and at best the most we could expect was 4 years of a jobs doing testing and validation before touching design. After getting an EE BS, you're pretty much qualified to be an Engineer In Training, during that time is when you actually learn some EE stuff. Everything in undergrad is basically just providing a foundation to build upon.

Were I in the GP's position, then I would switch to patent law. That's not going to be outsourced, there's a "need" for law-types with a deep understanding of things like electrical engineering, you'll still kind of work with tech, and it pays a lot better. The "need" is largely because of the ridiculous patent situation in the US right now unfortunately, but there is a good chance you could be one of the good guys and work for companies that use what they make instead of the patent trolls.

I'm sure an editor will be on that ASAP (As Soon As Possible).

) ...sorry, but this *is* slashdot. That open paren is going to cause a problem eventually.

And later they estimate the car was going 40-45mph. http://www.nbcnews.com/entertainment/paul-walker-was-real-hero-daughter-heart-soul-his-charity-2D11683842
How about waiting until the investigation is complete before jumping to conclusions? The police comment on random shit just to comment in cases like these. For some reason nobody considers "I have no idea, we're still investigating" an appropriate answer.

Is there a limit at 7? Seems like there are a lot of missing options. I think everybody just chose pinball because that's the 2nd best option to their favorite game that is missing. I would've chosen Spy Hunter, Pole Position, or the full motion Afterburner cabinet. Never heard of that Kung Fu game though, even after looking it up.
The arcade I went to the most also had a go kart track though, so that's the real winner.

Yes, soya and lentils. I don't think you'll find the the original story on IMDB.

Well, if it's good enough for Solid Snake, then it can't be too bad. Way better than eating snakes if I remember right.

Google uses consumer grade drives. From the google study:

...also, the premiums it returns are different from what healthcare.gov returns.

Even though this site takes only the easiest task of healthcare.gov, which completely works from healthcare.gov BTW...the "how much are these plans" thing is not what's broken, but the results are wrong. From health sherpa, the cost of a humana bronze plan is 194.72, but from healthcare.gov it is 166.99.

Since the price is relatively close, I guess this site does *something*, but it looks like it is not accurate, in which case it's kinda useless.

Can an editor change the title to "How 3 Young Coders Built a Broken healthcare.gov Portal"?

So, put the tinfoil away and prove it. Location data of some sort is "always on" for e911, but beyond that you will need to show some proof that applications can access it when you have GPS specifically disabled for them.

"Ever seen a remote desktop tool that's fast/efficient enough to play back video?"

Yeah, NX. Been using it for awhile.

Elop? Nokia was already in a nosedive when he started. If anything, he just guided them to a softer crash into a fluffy Microsoft pillow. Before that, the article says he ran MS's business software unit, which is one of the massively profitable divisions. Microsoft doesn't really need a "turnaround", just a focusing of efforts.

Do the elected officials realize this?
