I would really hope that someone a PhD in medicine was good at math as well.

How many milligrams should a person weighing 200 lbs take of drug abc123...

There are not charts for everything, yet.

They would have to build it waterproof. These are usually build underground. You do not have to dig to far down to hit water in most Florida.

The cherry picking can also be attributed to the times. Remove Zuckerberg, the rest started in the 1970s. Dell was probable the 1980s. Do you think today that if Jobs or Gates were an 18 years old they would have made the same choices? Back then there were no big hardware of software companies. Computers were a new thing. For Jobs and Gates to succeed today, they would need another new thing.

Without meeting HR's checklist, you will not get through the door. Unless you are starting your own company or know someone on the inside you will never get past HR. One more maybe if you made something the company wants. The days of getting the tech cert and finding a good job are gone. Someone with no experience has very little chance. Sorry but coding at home to learn something is not experience in the real world. If you can't get through the door, just how are you going to talk to the people to show them anything? I have seen people lie on their resume to get past HR. That doesn't end well.

I hate the chicken and egg problem. You need experience in order to get hired. You need to be hired in order to get experience.

All those TVs and Blue-ray players that have built in netflix are not running some form on linux? Those all seem to work just fine (TM).

To be honest. For the unwashed masses, or regular non computer people, having a device that they can just turn on and use is much easier. It is much easier for me to support anyway. The hardest part was getting the device on the wireless network.

Or a long series of unions taking a bigger and bigger piece of the pie till not enough was left to run the business on. This is not the first company and will not be the last to have to pay more to unions (payroll and pensions) then they take in. When will people realize that what unions stood for back in the 1920s, 1930, and 1940s is not what the unions due today. There are federal and state laws for what the unions wanted. Bravo unions you got safety laws, working hours, and others made into law. The claim that if unions went away today those laws would go away is totally wrong. That is what many people think. If unions would go away, companies would force their workers to work 20 hours a day 7 days a week for 30 hours of pay at a really low rate. Their pensions would go away. That is not going to happen. Unions keep on repeating this to get people to vote the union way.

If the sales guys needs to show the site then that sales guys sucks. Golf course meets have been going on for decades (if not longer). Back before in internet deals were made with *gasp* talking about your product/service and convincing the other party to go see or experience it.

If you are only dealing with computer tech people you might have a point. Many computer tech people have crappy real people skills. Other business people, that i not the case. I know a number of self made millionaires. No, they have not written me into their wills. I wish they would. They would agree to come see what you have to offer on the golf course. They will never sign any technology deal without trying it out first. They will never try a business deal item out on the golf course, boat ride, where ever. They network with the golf games and such. They do not make business decisions there. Too much money is at stake. Considering two of them are 26, and 27 years old. They are not old people. When they are making a $50-100 million deal, they always have their legal and financial team on board. They have done deals where one golf game they agreed to take a look. A later golf game they agreed to do the deal. Between those golf games a lot of people were looking into things and contracts were written up. I guess you could say that the deal was made on the gold course. Many people were involved in vetting things out off the golf course before that deal was done.

The Papa John's pizza places I see all use conveyor belts to cook the pizzas. More like cooking by space heater then oven. Ever notice how the better pizza places have a pizza oven or wood or coal oven? They have a real oven not a conveyor belt.

I have not read any of the John Carter books. I did not even know this movie was based on a series of books. I do not do research on a movie before going, sorry. The movie was OK. One of the things that movies do that I cannot stand is not finishing the story. It looks like John Carter was going to be a series of movies. Hollywood please stop with the squeals. Really, really stop making a movie that is part of a squeal when there are no other movies to go with it. Most people who do not know the back story, as in have not read the books, do not like a movie to end mid sentence. I know many people who did not do out to see the second and third Lord Of the Rings movies due to the first one ending mid sentence.

I thought Intel already made CPUs other then X86? I am not so sure Intel would care if one Intel processor was upstaged by another Intel processor.

So without drugs some people cannot program since they are not able to 'see' a way to solve the problem. One could ague that the people that needs drugs do that are in the wrong field. Also that they may have something wrong like a chemical imbalance.

I thought it was common that if you are hitting a wall to stop. Take a break. Get some fresh air. Even go *gasp* ask someone's help on the issue. A fresh set of eyes can do wonders.

With the new healthcare law, weed will be prescribed and given out freely to those with the prescription.

Many people voted for 'free stuff'. That stuff is free o them since they do not pay for it. Nothing is free. Someone pays for it. Those people paying for all the free stuff is getting smaller and smaller.

I usually group all the cables from one computer together. I use velcro so i can take it apart when needed. I have used wire ties. I even have some wire ties that I can open as well. Problem is with the wire ties is they get brittle over time. Even the ones with the release break. I also use KVMs. I have had 7 computers on the same KVM switch at home. This was a PS2 KVM not a USB one. I had to have a separate keyboard and mouse cables. Grouping the cables (mouse, keyboard, and monitor) together helped a lot. I did find KVM cables that were already one piece but I needed to use a gender changer on the monitor cable. The KVM switch had a male monitor connection instead of female. The monitor cable was an monitor extension cable rather then a just a monitor cable. As for the mouse and keyboard cables which were the same cable with PS2. I just labeled the ends. Put a 'K' on the keyboard one and a 'M' on the mouse one. If something happened to the cables I would take out that one set. Fix or replace the one cable. Put the group back together and snake it back to where it goes.

Apple will never sell the OS separately. First Apple is a hardware company. Second by controlling the hardware, Apple has a know set of devices and device drivers that will work. Imagine the support nightmares for Apple if the average Joe bought OSX and installed it on a home built computer? Can Apple test every possible hardware combination? I don't think so. Will there be combinations that will fail, yes. Will those people bitch, also yes. That is what Apple can not afford. Apple will not sell the OS to be installed on any hardware. Only Apple hardware. That way they can control the user experience.

Think about it. What is the number one thing that happens when you send in your Apple device (laptop, imac, ipod, iphone, iwhatever)? They wipe it. You could also get a refurbished model back. Again that is a fresh OS install. Why they wipe the machine for replacing bad memory is beyond me. That is their "standard procedure".

There is the dead voting thing. I know of two examples. We received a voter ID card for two of my grandparents. Both registered Democrat. One died 19 years ago and the other died 20 years ago. Only this year we received their new voter ID cards. Odd since I know both were not registered Democrats. When we called it in saying that these people have been dead for a while now, we were initially told to let it be. Why were we trying to take away their right to vote. Even after stating that these people were dead for 20 years and offering to mail or fax in their death certificates we were told to leave it alone. A few other calls and getting managers we got it straightened out. Also both people died in different states. They never lived in the state where we received the voter ID cards for them. How many other people would just leave it alone?

I believe voter fraud is more common then is being reported. Not many people look into it. If no one is looking no one is reporting it. Also look at the black panthers in Philadelphia. Even this year they are outside polling places. isn't voter intimidation against the law as well?
