No one will read this since my karma is low, but this is my experience. I had gotten my masters in EE while working. Afterwards I started a phd in EE while working. I figured I would do one or two semesters, see if I liked it and then I would go full time. During the second semester I started consulting via 1099 for a small company. So at one point, I was working one job, going to school and working a little for a second job. I started thinking to myself. Hmm. I can make X in salary and Y in consulting work or I can make 0 and go to school fulltime. When I get out after 4-6 years I may or may not make more base salary than I currently am making. What is the chance that my new salary will be greater than four years of lost income plus tuition? I figured no chance. So it was an easy decision for me to quit school. Later I was working a job and my peer was a phd. I figured since we were the same job title we were making the same money. One day they had a layoff and they kept me and got rid of him. So from my perspective I think getting a masters degree is pretty much the sweet spot for education versus cash income. If you are born rich or the smartest guy you know, then a phd is best for you. But for the regular smarter than average guys but most certainly not the smartest or hardest working then you are better off getting a masters degree, working and using your spare time to maintain your skills.

I thought the whole thing was lame. It was a t-shirt and it did not even have pron or obscenities on it. I am surpised that Delta made it worse by kicking him from the plane. Then again a rude stewardess on a business trip in the 90s made me never to travel on delta again. FWIW, once I was an executive platinum on AA and I flew my family of four for free to China with my airline points. I really used to travel a lot and Delta missed out on a lot of business with me because of a rude stewardess. I'm pretty easy going and tolerant and I don't remember what she did, but it was so bad that I swore I would never use them again and I have not.

I'm with you man. Out of sheer curiosity, I've peeked at some stuff and thought omg I did not want to see that. Its so bad with me, I no longer watch any of the Fail Compilation videos. Sure its funny when some guy wrecks trys to prop a ladder up on something shakey, but sometimes the videos show extreme pain and it make me hurt. I don't want to see that or anything like it. Only blood and gore I want to see is something in a video game where I know its just pixels.

The way I see it. He has a criminal conviction. The victims family can now sue in civil court for monetary damages from wrongful death. And if he is only in jail for 30 days it will give him plenty of time to work off the money he will owe the family and the lawyers. And to add insult to injury. His only way out is to file bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, criminal conviction and not to mention the notoriety of what he has done will pretty much flush his future down the drain. I assure you he has not yet begun to regret what he did.

I guess you have not been married or lived with a woman long enough to understand it. I'm guessing this scene was to show how at ease they were with each other after so many years. My ex wife was like that. My current gf no. I thought it was a great movie btw. I saw it before I was divorced and after. Afterwards, I felt the movie hit home much more.

I want to go to google io. I have never been before. Maybe this will help my chances. I'm not opposed to this entry criteria.

This is goatse man.

The other day Amazon had a deal on hundreds of ebooks. I looked through the list and soon found one I liked. Then I thought do I want to go thru the hassle of stripping the DRM or loading up kindle on my android to read this one book? No. And I decided not to buy it. On the other hand, I've bought maybe 30 books from oreilly for the simple reason they don't have DRM in their books.

" on average, black people are more social than white people" That's interesting as well. I wonder if it has to do with a survival trait based on socio-economic position. For instance, if you are from a social group which is at a disadvantage, it behooves you to be friendly to those whom aren't. The ones who build ties to better off group have a better chance of moving up in the ladder. Also, I wonder if our experience also betrays first hand experience. For instance, I know two types of people. People who are assholes and people who are cool. I avoid the assholes and spend time with the cool ones. Since most of the blacks I spend time with are cool, my experience with them are that they are mostly friendly and outgoing as you said.

comes down to genetics. Compare american blacks to any other blacks, particularly in africa. I can't remember the percent but a large percentage of american blacks have racial traits of whites. Possibly due to selective breeding during slavery. I don't think slave holders bred slaves to be be smart. In fact, I believe those who were smart or showed a tendency for persistence were bred out. I believe the result is larger more physical and less intellectual. Coupled with economic disadvantage it created generations of people who rely on handouts which exacerbated the problem. So, if you don't have a home computer, books or toys you will spend your time at the free basketball court. And if society shows success in singing (old time mistrial), basketball/football (physically demanding), or crime as a last resort, well that is where you will go. America now has a few generations of true economic opportunity now, give it time and it will even out racial differences in professions.

I have the revue. It has an excellent keyboard/mouse device. With keyboard bindings for gmail, it would be trivial to use. I don't use it though. I don't like having my email on the TV where my gf and kids can read it.

Personally, I don't know why they don't use removable batteries which you "use" rather than own. Car company X installs a charging station/Battery swap station at the local convience store. Their employees swap out a battery for yours. You own a car from company Y? You are out of luck. You stop payment on your battery usage rights with company X? You are out of luck. You lose your company X battery, tamper with battery identifications? You are out of luck. However, if you maintain payments to company X and play by the rules, you can use their battery swap shops to your heart's content.

We build complex jets which can destroy our opponent, then we send in expensive troops as bait for the remaining opponents, then we send in expensive engineers to rebuild our opponents cities and our own facilities, finally we send in expensive doctors to treat our opponents whom we have hurt. God bless the USA. We have become a country of backwards idiots.
