Agreed. I have 2x DELL 30" monitors on my dev system. Each is running at 2560x1600 --- I've never had so much screen real estate.

Yep; the secure area of the airport is "secure" ... that's why flights returning from overseas have to be rescreened and baggage handlers don't require any "real" background investigation.

Strange thing about that. As a private pilot in Alaska I was actually required by law to carry weapons with me (though the purpose being survival in case I were to crash).

Well...the flood of responses about the legality of broad or narrow spectrum jamming has already come up, so I'll skip that.

I don't have a great solution (yet) for bluetooth, but to kill WIFI: pick your open-source WIPS and spoof deauthentication frames (typical rogue containment) to all unknown devices (train it for surrounding university equipment). Unless the supplicant is an AP that supports 802.11w you'll knock WIFI right out of being usable.

If you happen to think of the case (or know where it was decided I can look it up) that would be an interesting read for me. I'd operated under the assumption that pregnancy was always protected either under the ADA or the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ... that was until I started reading some case law on the subject. Usually rejections seem to fall by the wayside due to the size of the employer (less than 15 people for example have a much smaller requirement for "reasonable accomodation") or unreasonable demands.

I have to agree with the "it's complicated" sentiment ... really the only answer for the OP though I think is to talk to a qualified employment lawyer in his/her jurisdiction.

Mod parent up as this is good general advice for life. If you go into a situation clueless it's 1.) easy to be taken advantage of (throw your favorite auto mechanic story in here) and 2.) difficult to make a rational determination on whether or not to hire one person over another.

I'm reassured, when doing consulting work, that my potential clients (usually small business owners) have educated themselves just enough on IT to have a reasonable conversation with me regarding their plans prior to offering me a contract. I'm also wary of those that have no idea of what they want ... blindly trusting me and my opinions.

Not to be nitpicky, but there is a huge swath of reasons for claim of wrongful termination. Also included are: whistleblowing statutes, wage and hour statues (depending on your state), EEOC (which you note), ADA (even pregnancy [and most medical problems] can classify as a de-facto disability), FMLA, etc. I know employers like to think that they can just up and terminate an employee "just because" ... but it isn't always necessarily true & can cause direct exposure to various types of lawsuits if there was no reasonable cause for termination.

Well, there are the joint IEEE/ACM Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Computer Engineering. It isn't software specifically, though software and programming is certainly a part of it. There is also the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) if that approach seems more appropriate. Either way, a number of Engineering programs (that aren't your traditional Chem,Mechanical,Aeronotical, etc. fields) are internationally recognized.

Within that discussion, Engineering (or engineering if you prefer) covers a wide range of disciplines. Some are related to IT (Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Process Engineers and more), some are not (Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, etc.)

Rents are fairly high. I stayed in a cheap duplex (800sq ft) for a while while I looked for the house and it was $825/mo in what most of my colleagues called "the ghetto".

15% down. Property tax rates here are nuts. I'm happy that this year I managed to contest it (based on the new value of my house being 160k) down to $4800/year.

I only wish property taxes were in that realm in my area. I pay $700ish/mo on mortgage (of about 150k) and an additional $600/mo in property tax. I'm in the Mid-West FWIW.

If you hide essential facts regarding yourself, it is a 5th amendment issue (not a crime).

Um...that's exactly what most military secrets are. Many of them are dangerous for people to know (think Japanese cryptography and their knowledge that we could break it based on a leak). Not all, but plenty enough that people should be held accountable for releasing information that could be foreseeably dangerous to national or personal interests.

Dang typos...you'd think I'd had one too many. Thankfully I'm at home on my laptop trolling fark instead of driving either way.

That was supposed to be * compulsory
