Dude you're going the opposite way, I'm trying to get out of Aerospace. What are you specifically looking for in Aerospace. The field is pretty broad and the work you'll do will be so specialized that you'll be using onl

If you look at the economy from a global point of view, you can see the money is constantly flowing between good an evil. It's the ying and the yang. You can choose to see the good or the evil but they're both there always seeking

I'm currently working on my first freelance project. I got it through this guy I worked with at a company. He was my desk neighbor, he liked my work, I told him I was looking for freelance work and he told me he could use some help.

I think that seeing it as a physical place helps conceptualize a virtual world. I'm neither a programmer or a developer. When I go online, it's like I'm out on the street. I'm exposed to others. I can interact with other

May be existing apps already do, but... If I could create my own, I would include a feature to keep track of everything that has to do with filing my taxes so that you know what to expect at the year end. I would also like to see a feature

The question I've always asked myself is: why is it that of all living things, we humans are the only ones that don't get dissolved back into the ecosystem once we die? At least not in a natural way, some people get cremated other

It is as long as you have alternative ways of getting online either at work, public library, coffee shop and/or at a friends/family member's house. I did it for a while. Had internet at the office all day and I'd go to

I can confirm that in Canada and US photos, age and family status are not required on a CV (unless you need security clearance), this kind of information is considered personal and could be used as a motive for discrimination. However, this

I have a dream... ...of a cloud where I could float freely without having to worry about privacy, security or any potential threat. Then I could let my mind flow freely on the cloud and connect with other souls.

in gmail you can create filters and folders to do this. Works like a charm. Use keywords as filters, then use these keywords when you email something to yourself it will go directly into the right folder (ex: TO WATCH, TO READ, MUSIC, ETC)
