   I am wondering if the estimate of only 1,000 cybersecurity experts in the USA is accurate...and how does that compare to other countried. Anyone have any insights on this ?

   Yes, that has happened to be me a lot of times since I do a lot of support work. The high-level, low-level symptoms, the trigger of the problem, the root cause of the issue and the facts/opinion of the support problem all get jumbled up. I

   Most companies try to show they are ethical by donating or being a corporate sponsor for a charity or event. I like Google's concept of just giving things out for free since I am a great benefactor of that. Google can make some of the money

   Well that makes the point of focusing too much on the engineering side...corporations are for-profit entities and they are not there to make the "perfect" product but rather a marketable product that will generate them net positive cash flo

   Where can I find the research and the liberties he used? I really liked the RSA drawed-up version of the talk, and I thought it was based on real hard science..

   As international as they try to make it, I do not expect it to beat the flood of global students applying to USA schools, some departments in US schools, especially in the master's/Ph.D levels are a lot more international then you would exp

    Sure..and it shouldn't if you could make them go through your tests. But regardless, not having a degree can get you easily screened out of a lot of jobs

    Also another piece of advice...I would aim for at least 60k$ a year in your next job (but tell them 65-70k$) based upon your 2 years of experience and you are not in a major metropolitain area...but due to the fact that you do not have a co

    I think he is pointing to an interesting phenomemon, which is the over-specialization of what we do: Example: CS degree --> compression/codec -> video or picture or sound (to me they are different worlds) -> H.264 -> specifi

    Well I have to say I am pretty impressed by the overall level of knowledge. I have been interested in business since a kid (use to read businessweek magazines regularly), and lately I have decided to study for the Chartered Financial Analys

    Yeah, I agree with the "it works for you, but not me" because I am sure I have this too. I only realized it when I thought it was normal to take over an hour to fall asleep...when its clearly not. Unfortunately, waking up at 11 is not an op

    Thanks for the explanation...for a second-there I thought that it meant all boycotts were not allowed. But let' say there was a domestic originated boycott against country X, why can't the governement just say that it is illegal since there

    I really don't like the word "street smarts". Mostly because I am a book smart person. I've heard the same refrain self-proclaimed over and over again since high school "I might not get good grades, but at least I have street smarts". Stree

    I have a questions on the dynamics if you don't mind me asking... -is this your full time job and your sole source of income ? -are you able to find a normal amount of work just like a 9-5 job (i.e. 40 hours a week for 50 weeks -> 2000

    I favor Vivke's point of view, what's lacking in tech research is that a lot of jobs are being outsourced. The same could be said for non-research jobs, but tech development, support jobs too.
