Participant[quote=SmellsFeeshy]Can anyone comment on the Google Voice integration on an Android phone vs. iPhone? I use GV for text messaging since I don’t want to pay for a text plan. On the iPhone the GV apps are all limited in one way or another, including the official Google Voice app which is horrible (crashes often, lots of bugs). It’s obvious that Google is intentionally trying to make GV on the iPhone as crappy as possible so people will want to upgrade to Androids.[/quote]
Google didn’t cripple GV on iPhone because they wanted to. It’s what they can do w/in the Apple ecosystem. GV on Android is fantastic. Visual voicemail rock. Voicemail to text rock too.Participant[quote=briansd1][quote=eavesdropper]

That should start in middle school, IMO. There should be mandatory classes on consumer finance so kids understand the credit cards they get when they turn 18.[/quote]
I’d say, it should start much earlier and the parents should be the first people who do the teaching.Participant[quote=briansd1][quote=eavesdropper]

UCSD would just be fine if your kid can get in.[/quote]
UCSD is rank low 30s overall, so it’s no slouch. It’s not that easy to get in. 15 years ago, the average GPA of the freshman class was IIRC 4.5-4.6 AND a SAT score of ~1400. I don’t think it’s any easier today (if anything, it’s harder).The materials might not vary as much, but the way the teacher teaches it is a HUGE difference. I know someone who got a CS in SDSU and the teachers concentrate a lot more on practical examples and exercises, while at UCSD/UCI/UCLA, teachers tend to concentrait a lot more on the theory. I sat in one of the CS class at SDSU and the teacher was basically showing the class how to do the programming assignment, while at UCSD, the teacher teach you the theory and basic, then off you go to figure it out for yourself. This is why I say if you want to be done after 4 years, it’s better to go to CSU (easier which means higher GPA, and you learn less theory and more practical skills). If you want to go on to MS, the theories you learn in UC would be more beneficial.

Participant[quote=flu]Imho this is going to be lesser of an issue moving forward…With a weakened U.S. dollar and predicted shortages of people not entering this profession in the U.S., the demand will be there, since “outsourcing” isn’t necessarily going to be on cost moving forward.[/quote]
