Degrees are overrated. No seriously. I don't have a degree, yet I've had no problem finding employment with a competitive salary. Even companies that claim to require a degree actually don't. Most companies I've worked with look for someone that has the ability to solve problems. You don't have to know everything about a language even, you just need to be able to use your brain to find the answers (as well as resources such as the internet, etc.)

This is false. My wife can eat 1200 calories on a given day and still gain weight. I can eat 3500 calories in a day and still lose weight. The issue is the level that your body is able to break down certain foods. Example: Eat a 2000 calorie meal. Just because the meal is 2000 calories doesn't mean that 2000 calories go into your body. Certain fats, proteins, etc. don't break down in each person the same way. One person might get 1800 calories from that meal, another person 1300. Also, insulin levels and the like prevent you from burning fat.

Sorry for the crap spelling folks...1am here...good night all.

Call me crazy, but i think we spend too much time on complex OOP based code. No I'm not making this up, I might know more languages than you, but I've also had the unfortunate opportunity of working on more shit code than most people. We need to go back to basics. When a company can hire a 3rd party team to write a 3rd party CRM cheaper than it is to modify an internal CRM there is a problem. Pay attention to this next part: When a class library becomes so complex it takes more time to maintain the library than to write new functionality, you have a problem. It should be easy to understand a code-base without spending days learning an API. code needs to be more adaptable to chancing situations. When a pharma company can spend $600,000 per year to maintain a 3rd party CRM because a first party CRM costs millions to mod, there is a problem. Just my observation though. *glares at top 20 pharma companies* thx for the awesome paycheck.

I gave up and moved to gmail. Gmail will let you pull in mail from most pop/imap servers.

They did say this though...maybe not as much as other mags, but they gave some games a bad review. For a Nintendo sponsored mag they did a damn good job. Nintendo Power was AMAZING for me as a kid. I'll never forget the ultimate free-bee...Dragon Warrior for the NES in exchange for a $15/year subscription...

Not to advocate a particular site, but http://www.wirecare.com/ has PLENTY of solutions for cable management. They tend to carry a lot of Techflex stuff, such as braided sleeving, etc. that really help out with cable management.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I'm afraid to say, you guys are doing it wrong. Currently building an eCommerce platform that scales across any server, even if said servers are across multiple providers. Oh and it'll only cost us about a hundred bucks a month. The cloud isn't about throwaway computing, the cloud is about scalable applications. If you use EC2 for static hosting you are doing it wrong.

My afternoon did totally suck, but only because we use AWS.

I agree. Most of the stuff that presidential candidates say never comes to pass when they are elected. The solution to our debt problem really is simple. Close all of the tax loopholes. Make sure that capital gains are taxed accordingly. Tax ALL assets, foreign or domestic. If you do business in the US 100% of your profit should be taxable. The problem is that most of the politicians that get elected are millionaires and could care less about the rest of us.

I don't think the law is ridiculous. Misplaced maybe, but seeing the number of overweight people in our society makes me think that these types of laws are needed. I wish that weren't the case.

I had always assumed that there was an approval process that looked for this type of stuff. I guess i was wrong?
