I agree with this assessment. It has a lot to do with whether the person has the basic ability to understand computers and engineering-like things. If it's not taught at an early age it's tough to pick up this skill later. My pare

I don't think this is entirely accurate. Yes, enterprise coding can be really boring and mundane, but just as often it can be interesting and challenging and involve new technologies. As an entry level programmer, sure, you'll do

Indeed, but also, hitting a newspaper read by 1 million people who are semi-technical is far better for a consumer product company than hitting an online audience of 10 million super tech users. The 1 million might just be hearing about you

One more thing I will add (journalist here) to these excellent tips is this: Find your niche reporter. There is some reporter out there at some publication you've never heard of, and they are likely your perfect target for all of your

TL;DR: this is a map of the world. You put in the date and trajectory, and it charts where the shuttle is as it orbits the Earth, in real time. This map includes world-wide transmission stations, which basically follow the shuttle's or

That's a great modern twist on the original idea that every New Yorker cartoon works then the text is changed to, "Christ, what an asshole."

I was diagnosed in grade school, took Ritalin through high school. Maybe it helped, but I'm sure a lot of folks here had similar experiences to me in school. School just sucked in general: I was always bored, and when I wasn't bor

If Clinton brings us single payer, I will worship at her altar forever. She used to promise this stuff in the 90's, but basically gave it all up when she actually went into politics and gained public office, later saying single payer w

Yes, there are trade-offs. In my opinion, they are worth the switch, and amount to a difference between "choosing which hand to reattach and letting the other go dead," and "No lap-band for you fatty." The latter being t

Totally unrelated. The Panthers were actually taking charge of their own community to police it because the police would not. They fed the hungry and took care of the poor in their communities because people would not. The FBI then ruined t
