I upvote many posts though. I generally only comment on the one's I find most interesting. I would not be able to find the post again looking though everything I upvote.

No worries though. I won't be bothering you guys with my upvotes and comments any longer. You regulars can down vote everything I ever posted if you like. It's clear n00bs aren't welcome here. I won't be coming back to your site.

FTFA: the median starting salary of people with college degrees is $46,900

Of those who graduated... of those who found a job at all.

>$59,950 for tuition, room, board and fees combined

If a summer job could pay for that, then why would I need a college degree to make $47K annually? Harry Lewis is le trollin.

I'm confident they already do. I really doubt they stop at "I hunt sysadmins"

Look at the attempts to outlaw apps like Trapster. You give away the position of speed traps and DUI checkpoints and cops don't like that.

Last I heard, Trapster was forced to remove DUI checkpoints to stay on the app store. That was after attempts to rule it illegal in court failed. Same result. Crowdsourced DUI checkpoint apps are effectively gone if the stores don't have them. If only a few sideloaders have them, then there's no crowd to source.

This would work in a similar manner, but would expose the cops' fake cell towers. I fully expect this to suffer a similar fate.

That is not to say I don't like the project. I commented just so I could find it again in the future :)

Didn't start programming professionally until my early 30s. Quit my job to do it. Spent 9 months with no job teaching myself before landing my first job in software.

This sounds like such a good idea, I think the US government will outlaw it.

>If they really wanted to stop these programs

There's your answer, isn't it? They don't want to stop these programs. They benefit from the economic espionage. Actions speak louder than words.

The problem with "Yes, if.." is that the person asking only hears "Yes..." You better make sure the "if.." is in writing, with extra bold font. That, or you're stuck supporting IE6 with no budget or time to do so.

"The phone didn't take those pictures!? Next you'll tell me Terry Crews doesn't even use Old Spice either!"

Does he really think anyone expects to get professionally retouched photos out of a phone?

As for licensing, I mainly wonder if the girl receives a cut of the income or if she's simply exploited either way.

If things have changed so drastically, then you should have no problem securing a constitutional amendment.
