It's worse than you think. If you're shooting up an Army post with an AK-47, this bill would let the Army hold you as a POW instead of requiring them to call 911 and wait for the police to come and handle it. This bill would turn the US int

Don't forget about prior work experience. A few of my college classmates did manage to find work after graduation, but that requirement held me back for a long time. I've tried asking companies to offer internships, but most have no concept

From an earlier article, someone at DOJ called for a law to be passed to make it a crime to do something against the terms of service. It hasn't happened yet. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111117/02375716801/doj-tw...

Looking around my old DOS files, qbasic.exe is 254,799 bytes, plus a 133,810 help file. 400kb is larger than anything on that list, but we can think of lots of things larger than 400k. I don't seem to have Turbo C++ on my system any more, b

On the title, YMMV. Enough people find Disneyland non-creepy enough and even attractive that it stays in business. On the second half of the article, these are ads. They're going to show people happily doing productive things with their fut

I am the one who quibbles over the distinctions in the definitions of these words. That aside, it is good for a software developer to be any of these as the need arises. You may need to design a system, test and implement a design, maintain

It happened immediately after logging on, when looking at the news feed. I was able to see the page for a split second while it first rendered and then some JS covered everything up with mostly-opaque white. I think the popup box was pointi

I am not a businessman and have no experience in the area, but a couple of things come to mind. The white-label requirement suggests that they want to put their own name on it which suggests they will become a competitor to your company, or

I stopped using Facebook a week or two ago when they started putting an opaque overlay over the entire page to direct my attention to a popup box that said nothing interesting and had no apparent way of closing it, no [X] in the corner. If

"Where are the statistics to suggest that people 55+ are taking all the minimum wage jobs?" The evidence is only anecdotal and theoretical. In theory, the elderly cannot work as hard as young professionals but have a stronger work ethic tha

Sabu has already called private-sector white hats "terrorists" when he launched AntiSec, so military white hats don't have much of a chance of gaining his approval. He seems to be the empty rebel with an appeal for the rhetoric of early 20t

Fuck you, asshole. You would not recognize a rational argument when you saw one, because you did see one and you called it an "apples-to-oranges troll". You can't explain how illegal activity which abuses the network is different from any o

I suppose they also consider it a breach of human rights to disconnect users for harassing other users, spamming, DoSing, breaking into the ISP's own network, wire fraud, and so on. All is as much "free speech" and as equally illegal as war

For "the web"? HTML, CSS, and Javascript. If HTML doesn't count as a real programming language, add SQL. You might be looking for an answer along the lines of a backend language like PHP, ASP, or JSP, but they all fill the same need of prod

My memory for the wage scale was stuck around 2002-2003, so add a decade's worth of inflation.

We also have entry-level positions available; a Master's degree and a minimum of two years of full-time experience is required. (I really see more and more low-level coder jobs require a Master's degree, at least more and more than I notice

The link exaggerates, but web developer positions often require knowledge of every tool in the chain from the server to Photoshop and Flash. You have to be the front-end art guy and the front-end implementation guy and the back-end coder an

I recommend starting with the math. You won't even know you could think in certain ways until you've been introduced to the mathematical concepts. On a similar note: The linked post is on how many new students don't understand the fundament

Ditto to that. I admit predisposition to liking Termkit because I also had a similar idea in the past and I had neither the time nor talent to go anywhere with it. Kudos to this guy for producing something that looks like a very large step
