To bad they don't sell hand made, home grown artist stuff anymore. The Chinese knock-off Gucci "authentic" syndication machine took over under many names / masks / illusions. It's more the Walmart Hobby Lobby .

MIT for example calls it CS even though it's part of the engineering school - agreed, but it's not an engineering discipline. The school just manages it, because it's closer to engineering than it is math. However, many math

CS is a sub-set of specialization from math - ergo a science. A scientist is one thing, as with an engineer is a very distinct animal separate from this. Opinion still holds.

I'm talking about folks that call themselves engineers, where they clearly are not. A PE has an exam with credential requirements and an apprenticeship under another PE for a period of time + having to retake that PE exam in order to g

Software engineers w/o degrees are just software developers. They are not engineers, by any stretch of the term. Engineering principals applied to software, including performance analysis and validation are done by engineers. There is

Anyone have suggestions on alternative programs that are less expensive, online, and self-paced? 40+ IT guy trying to stay relevant.

Yup .... exactly. I think that we run drugs or something if we live close to the border, or are dualies. US border patrol are a bunch of asshats.

I couldn't agree with you more. Even in Buffalo, I cross about once every two months - if not more - and the Canadian folks are nothing more than polite. This includes Washington State, Minnesota, and New York crossings. I ENCOURAGE pe

This is a glass half empty, half full argument. Honestly, I am taking the view that "wellness programs" should be mandatory fun. Why? Just look at social programs like social security, garbage collection, public schools, welfare .

If that certainly _is_ true, that's a multi-million dollar chaching for the ADA and the ACLU. Also, if I was working for CVS I'd have my lawyer on that like flies on rice for a number of slippery slope reasons. That fires me up a

Programmers are not lawyers, and this isn't Edward Snowden. There is a logical train of legality and one can debate the ethics of a task most likely with the owner, or legal counsel. The other option is to get release of liability whic
