ummm ya... you could turn off your AC

No, but you guys do get more for paying for the same at the same price.

I get that, but you still have more selection then we have up here.

Come to Canada before you start complaining about their lack of content...

this exactly

I don't see the big deal with the price increase... up here in canada we are streaming only for 8 bucks a month. Mail isn't cheap and sending out all these DVD's gets expensive.

objective C is not that easily approachable. You have to be thinking about c# or C++. I'd rather stick forks in my eyes then program in objective C.

HP Works fine for our health region...

mortgage is actually cheaper where I live then rent... figure that one out.

until a capacitor goes and sounds like an explosion :P

ugh... Don't remind me. I see this all the time... I end up face palming way to much

This is what backup servers are for. You should always have a way to failover to another machine in case something like this happens.

A real sys admin would have a backup server to failover to and then fix the real problem on the main machine :)

You also have to think about some things when handing code down. The lower level programmers may not be as efficient or knowledgeable in their coding and could add in very in-efficient code which can slow the program down. Also if you program using any advanced techniques (thinking of a co-student of mine) they could easily be lost. I know people who could do a massive conditional statement in one line and it would work perfectly. You show that to someone who have minimal knowledge and their head would explode.

I agree, Computer scientists atleast around here are taught computer programming. Well mostly how to program but not actually with a programming language. I graduated from a comptuer systems technology course which went over everything abit. Well everything as in server admin for windows/linux programming database etc.... The Computer Scientists are pure code no knowledge of servers or anything other then how to create good algorithms. I'm happy with my degree it atleast taught me something, it was also a pain in the ass to get through. We lost around 50% of the class due to people just unable to handle the workload. I can also out program most of the Computer Science students 8/10 times. When it comes to web programming that's about 9.75/10 times.
