Find the people who currently hire for such jobs. Tell them what you want to do, ask them what they look for in candidates. Turn yourself into the candidate they're looking for. This works for all other jobs too.

They turn down very few visas. They give out so few because there are so few applications.

"I think the average consumer would be better off with a single standard rather than competing systems." The history of technology so far makes it clear that competing standards lead to innovation and improvement; furthermore, purity of sys

Bear in mind the U.S. has two main political parties; the right-wing one, and the even more right-wing one. The U.S. papers simply can't afford to be centrist or leftist.

"The iPod started the digital revolution" I suppose next you'll be telling me Apple invented the helicopter, and next week will be increasing the chocolate ration.

The U.S. does not have a list, though. The U.S. simply doesn't do sterile transit. That's (a large part of) the complaint.

I think he doesn't mean robbed. Robbery is theft with the use or threat of violence. Yes, I know that the dictionary mumbles something half-hearted about it being the same as theft.

If the insurance company suspects that you've done something like this, they will wait until you need to claim (so they can take in the premiums) and then deny a payout on the basis that you formed a company purely to get round having been

That makes no sense. The cost to the publisher of an additional electronic subscription is tiny. Really tiny. It's comparable to the cost of sending one more eMail when you're already sending out thousands. If they had to give 30% of all th

The question here for the publishers is whether or not this will increase their sales, or just move them about. If they have all the subscribers they were going to get anyway, AND some new ones thank to Apple, they've made more money and th

Bingo. Cory Doctorow's take on it is informative, even if you don't agree with his conclusions, as he covers a lot of this; it heavily features our old friends, the music publishers (who became a viable business themselves, back in the day,

It's crippling innovation before people even begin. I was chatting about encryption with some young chap, and I suggested a good way for him to learn about the practicalities of it would be to just sit down and code. He was astonished; he g

Rest assured, chums. Reddit doesn't mention "rockstar" anywhere in the job listing; it's just their Ops Manager and Senior Product Developer using the term.

Believing BillG on it when you could just do your own review of the data is as foolish as believing JennyM. Being successful in one technical field does not make you a medical expert. Look at Howard Hughes, for example.

Here's a CDC page on it: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00046738.htm As you'll see, it discusses various studies and provides links to papers examining various cases in which people have had an adverse side-effect to a vaccine.

I really, really don't want to start a flame war here, and I'm trying very hard not to make any statements about any individuals or even groups of individuals. I thought my framing of it was pretty even-handed, but fair enough. I wasn't awa

" I was very slow to agree with the idea that vaccines are a problem." Just out of interest (and without making any statement on what these problems are), would you agree that on a societal level (i.e. I'm not talking about individual unluc

Which is in itself bizarre. It's as if theses government agencies have been too successful for their own good, and now people have stopped believing in the dangers. Smallpox - eradicated from the face of the earth (barring lab samples). Pol

Fortunately, you can go to the source data on this one and come to your own conclusions. "And so the people who go and engage in those anti-vaccine efforts -- you know, they, they kill children." BillG certainly has. It's refreshing to see

Your argument is a non-sequitur. The original argument was that there was no point in investing, because if you'd invested 10-15 years ago, you'd have made a lot of money. That argument is wrong for obvious reasons, which I will spell out a

I remember when Nintendo said that. You'll note that the spinny disc camp slaughtered them. Spinny discs are little sheets of polycarbonate. They're ridiculously cheap to make.

If this were extortion, in exchange for being paid, he'd not do something. What exactly is it that you suggest he will not do, in exchange for money, given that he's already released the crack to the world?
