There is a simple reason - College education costs of about 40K minimum - for just the undergraduate - are borne directly by the individual. Then, with very large debts we expect these same people to work at a 50K per year job and service their debt payments. It has nothing with people being...

The US has a big problem that can not be solved by more education and training of its citizens - although that wont hurt. Ireland has one of the highest educated populations in the world per capita and yet, does not have the type of environment one would expect merely because everyone has a PhD...

When I was in college I worked - briefly - for a collection agency on their IS systems. The number one (and overwhelming) reason people were in BK was due to major medical / healthcare costs. Most of the people wanted to pay this back but realized they never would be able to - with interest...

Depends .... I went once ... primarily for amusement since it was very close to my house and on a weekend. Much more difficult to justify if it falls on a business day. This is probably most useful as a device to meet people and see products/services people are pushing (selling)...

Very similar to the configuration we use. I simply keep nothing of consequence on the $soft boxes anymore and for people that still have $soft clients I only allow them to use samba ....

you can run it on $soft but I prefer not to ... too many issues. Yes, I seem to recall that Apple used BSD. ..... BSD and Linux are very similar.

Completely disagree with Mr. Gross. Again, marketing hype to try to make himself look like some kind of kingmaker. .... Making a big statement before a major announcement to make himself heard or to scare out positions is not my idea if a reliable channel of information. Of course it...

Well, I dont have a mac test box .... but from what I understand the new macs are simply running their GUI - derived from the old NeXTOS I believe - on top of linux. I dont know which filesystem they use but if it is ext2/3 then yes, rsync will work - also works over nfs.

I think the point is that trading is a business: there is nothing that says you have to limit yourself to just a single business. However, if you have sufficient capital, trading can be a good business just by itself. Running multiple successful busineses is very difficult and requires a lot...

The old $soft Frontpage program had simple wizards to create starter websites: I am sure that you could use this or an equivalent with results good enough to get a brochure type site up and running ....... There are two schools of thought: (1) a high school student can design a workable...

Actually, performing incremental backups - or even disk clones and full backups - has always been a pain with Windoze. Data backups are somewhat easier with the backup wizards and utilities but there are a lot of details that are not discussed and which are often either wron or incomplete within...

Housing doesn't crash in the classic sense since people still live in the asset: its not a stock or future. My take is that gains will stall even though people are not selling ..... we will see a situation in the most overheated markets akin to the bay area where for a period of time nobody...

Just another confirming channel as to the future of information technology workers ...... I hope you figure out how to pay the bills soon ....

I really dont know what will happen but I have liquidated most - but not all - of my southern california real estate holdings. I kept a couple of good properties but I liquidated those that had the largest gains and booked them. Now I might be completely wrong - who knows what will really...

Now dont take this the wrong way but ...... Why would anyone pay someone for a "room" with some knuckelhead feeding them supposed trading signals ? Here is the biggest "signal" that you are not ready and should not be trading .. ... the signal is that you would pay a dime for someone to...

Sounds to me like you are trading randomly .... random entries and exits are not the way to make money in my opinion. You need to sharply reduce your share size until you have a basket ot techniques and know when to use them: thus each trade has a reason for the entry and a reason for the exit...

Well, in another 5 or 7 years the industry will look quite different. There will still be a demand for engineering but the work will most likely involve very little programming and much more testing and integration of components and systems: this has been the trend over the last 15 years or so...

After 25 years software development and working with the big 3 software development firms I guess I have to say your experiences and opinions are not in line with the facts. The indian software development centers of these firms, properly staffed and managed, produce the same quality of code...

Well I never discuss the details of my accounts in public .... But i was on the floor of the Merc in 1987 during the stock drop ..... several people lost millions - they didn't show up on the floor after that - one person made 1M on an error ..... All of this was exceptionally good training...

Are you surprised by numbers that say a vast majority of "traders" fail ? Just how do you define a "trader" ? You really dont have a business if you have no capital, no business plan, and no experience. If you added up the people that had these threee attributes and asked the question as...
