I wonder how many people will rear end you while they are thinking "Wow, that's bad ass"
I bet it wouldn't take long for people to re-program it to display little messages.
Like "fuck off"
I've wanted something like that since I started driving.

The recruiters where I work say if you know .NET development (ASP & C#) you can write your own checks.
Go for it.
It would be nice if there were just a program I could learn to use where I could move up fast.
I've tried 2 different programs, Catia and Unigraphics, and I don't know why I did either.
To move into a job where I work on another program, I'd basically start all over in that field.

That is cool. I want to do that to this beater Buick I am driving.
Just because someone can call me Mom now doesn't mean I am gonna be Betty Freakin Cocker and bake any pies.

I've been wanting to take time to learn those and SQL. I can't believe all the money I paid out for college to only be able to learn C++, FORTRAN, Pascal and VB. What a waste of my life.

It would be a whole career change for me to go from Infrastructure to Development.

Shit if I had any of that training I'd be so much better off. I had 0 programming classes and that's why it's so hard for me to start learning on my own. Did you just not like doing C++ and VB?

I've been working in the structural/automotive conveyor business for 15 years now.
To switch to another software, I'd have to go more mechanical. And that would be like starting all over.
So, I would have to learn the software and get a mechanical engineering degree to get anywhere.

If they even allowed that. Jim's dad worked for the Province Of Manitoba as a traffic safety engineer. I recall a particular LED sign board at business causing accidents because it was really bright and the flashing pictures distracted people. They were unable to make the business take it down so they changed all the signage nearby bigger to block it until you got like 2 car lengths from it. The only time you can actually read anything on that board is when the light changes to red.

Jim's goal is to have a million dollars in our bank account by the time he is 35. It hasn't happened yet, I doubt we'll do it by the time he is 35, that's still 3 years away though. If we decided to sell all the pit equipment and the pit itself we may be close.

No, it won't be legal, for a long time at least.
Car companies are making laser headlights that act like high beams but avoid on-coming traffic.
Those are illegal because of ancient 'safety standards'
Same with rear view mirrors that are actually rear facing cameras. But I think that one they're finding ways to make it a mirror and a video screen.

I'm sticking more more realistic goals like being able to take 1 vacation before I die.

In grade 11 I took a computer course to fill up my schedule. We blew threw everything the teacher was supposed to teach us so he started teaching us C++. The teacher told me I should take his grade 12 programming course but I didn't want to.
