It's 4 CPU variations if you have purchasing agreements in place. If you're buying off the shelf from the vendors then yes it can vary much more. This is even evident in the desktop market. Compare the Dell business class to the Dell consum

I read your version, and I get an entirely different gist than what I got from reading nerdfile's for part 1. I thought he was talking to the customer about using version control. In your version I get issue tracking. I've had both conversa

It looks interesting. I was having trouble deciphering your plans though. Why would I need a "standard" versus "business" niche job board? I got to thinking what sort of target customer I'd be if I needed one plan or another: * Standard - S

If a card is invalid (i.e. no signature), the cashier can ask for identification to verify your identity, and watch you sign. If the card is already signed, cashiers may not ask for ID as a condition of the sale, the transaction is consid

I've heard of a startup that sells iPads for certain waiting rooms. You fill out your paperwork on the iPad, and since it's dynamic, they can upsell you. The company originally did automotive, and then I think they went into elective cosmet

I can see wanting to work remotely if you want either a flex schedule (though remote does not necessarily equate to that), or if you live somewhere where your desired profession is not. For RoR, you may want to remotely work for a Valley co

I am what I guess you'd consider a junior sysadmin. I graduated in May of 2011. While it's not being a developer, all of the points stand. Read other code - still very important in admining. Other people write scripts, and there's a wide v

I agree with everything said here. The important thing is to set time limits for pre-planned phone calls. If it's an impromptu call and you don't have much time, make sure you stay on topic. The other thing I've never seen happen in a busin

The new Intel phones didn't build themselves overnight. We can all argue that N should be higher than it actually was, but Intel's still present and accounted for.

Some PO box places forward, you might want to look into that... Deposit slips are itemized lists for what you want to deposit, like XXX in cash plus YYYYY in checks. You list each check out with the check number and the amount. Then you sim

There's a difference between free information and compiled free information with a bit of extra. You pay for the premium of having it all put together and not having to spend the time to go find it all. Why buy a programming book? There's l

Yes, MS gives the exam for free, Prometric is just the testing center. I got my Server 2008 Active Directory configuring cert free through a similar offer.

My work still uses RCS (in addition to SVN and git and probably 14 other version control programs). It's great for adding individual files like conf files. Mess something up and want to reset? Just check the file out again and overwrite the

I agree with you on the paywall. I can't see this tool, other than it promises to help make bootstrap look nicer. This may be one of the cases where forcing you to pay before you download or save might be the preferred method of payment. Th

I agree, it's a very emotional topic for people. I don't want people to treat me differently if they knew how much I did or didn't make. Things like anonymous polls and glassdoor give you some idea of the market as a whole, but there is a p

I'm fairly certain one of the managers at my old job used to very strongly encourage his interns to type properly. And by very strongly encourage I mean threaten to fire them if they didn't show typing improvement over the semester. I'm n

I'm an IT guy in large office, and I can do all of those things (it'll work, but it may not look good...). However, not all of my coworkers can. I think IT is kind of a master of use of software, and hardware. You can build the hardware, an

I agree with everything you said. People do disappear, WFH, and put up do not disturb signs. However, this is from an operations standpoint, where heavy collaboration is needed to get stuff done. It may not be good for a pure programming sh

I know this is sounds strange, but cubes can be nice from an operations standpoint. It gives you access to other cube mates fairly easily, which is essential in trying to keep stuff running. While I would prefer a private or semi-private of

Codegeek's answer is very good. I think the career goals is probably the first thing you want to look at. There's also some advise I've heard about working in IT where IT is a resource and not a cost center. It's very true. I can say defini

Can you update with a location? I think that matters a lot. In Georgia, my friends and I were getting from $16-$25 an hour. My first internship paid only $14 an hour, but I got a 401k match of 3%, health insurance (if I wanted it), bereave

Another angle is that HR requires that a public posting be created for N weeks for all new positions, but there's someone they really want to hire internally. So the post is crafted such that only the internal hire meets all of the requirem
