Dude, I work at the University of Washington - and I know what our faculty make.
And you don't have to take my word for this. State of Washington employee salaries - this includes UW faculty - are publicly available. Look up the names of some of our CSE or EE faculty, for example, and then Google for the info yourself.
And UW is pretty middle-of-the-road in terms of US faculty salaries... 56th percentile or thereabouts.
Professors in technical areas make large amounts of money, and are guaranteed their salary for life once they've been promoted once (to associate professor).
In my department, at the lowest level - assistant professor (tenure track, but not yet tenured) - they are making well north of 10K dollars a month. Full professors fall anywhere between 15K-25K a month.
On the other hand, professors in the arts or history departments make less than many staff earn.
Note that this is all public record - I'm not exactly giving away secrets.
Like, secretary as in the one that takes dictation, or secretary as in the one that is in charge of a large arm of government bureaucracy?
Yes.
Except that theyre the only one not cooperating with governments like China these days. Microsoft has been in agreements with them for years.
Keep up with current events, young'un - Google did an about-face on China over a year ago.
Google Shows China the White Flag of Surrender
Google hasn't been the "don't be evil" company for quite a while.
I prefer the current, genteel Internet - one where people are well-spoken and polite. I don't want it to become a cesspool of jargon and shorthand. Sure, you may think acronyms are harmless, but if they ever catch on... next thing you know, people will be putting numbers and symbols in place of letters, or even (God forbid) substituting one letter for another!
Of course, what they're shooting for is
No Secrets Anywhere.
Tell them you stored all of your records in e-mail messages. They'll understand the loss.
What loss? They can ask the NSA for their copies.
Their unofficial motto is "Don't be evil".
When was the most recent instance someone from Google's leadership team used that phrase, anyway?
Social networks are useful. It's about time we wrote and popularized a distributed one, hosted on our own machines rather than dependent on some group of folks to whom we are products, not customers.
Diaspora is dead, dude - just get over it.
We know about the "research" leading to this - we all saw "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" too.
I have a pretty good idea how often that joke works - and you don't need octal to keep it in single digits.
Just use a different base.
Well, by remembering domain names instead of IP addresses you're basically using base 26.
So to get access to a Comcast customer's wi-fi, you also have to be a Comcast customer AND you are limited to a short amount of time per month.
I suspect what's going to happen soon is Comcast will start charging its customers per device, since visitor's computers/devices are now separated out from the homeowner's stuff. "So you own one iMac, three Kindle Fire tablets and an iPhone? That's five MACs connecting to our service - so here's the base charge, plus the $10/month surcharge per extra device."
I also expect there'll be a premium "feature" where Comcast customers can pay for additional "roaming" time on Comcast routers other than their own.
Given those of us the world calls "nerds" seemingly have a weakness for championing the lesser-known, and given that nerd-driven edits are a disproportionately large percentage of Wikipedia edits... it's not surprising someone like Linnaeus has the top spot.
Really, the biggest surprise isn't that Linnaeus outranks Jesus - it's that Jesus managed to outrank Joss Whedon.
BOA did this to me a few years ago.. I'd make some purchases before traveling abroad only to have my card shut off when I was in Ukraine.
Well, Mr. Putin - maybe NEXT TIME you'll think before you invade another country!
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
