Various higher education options for an IT professional aboard to end up woth good job and package there itself and ways to get admission. My major priority is to get high paying job in foreign countries. It would be helpful some suggest good PG programs aboard with less investment or scholarship...
There have been tons of these kind of endless shopping questions on this site. I just asked myself, why should I spend my precious time on them? I have no answer. All I can say is that I am tired of them. I am really really tired of reviewing thousands (literally) of them. I guess I am going to take a break. After all, there are others on this site who are more qualified than me and willing to do it. Sorry about my rant.
@scaaahu :) Flag 'em! In fact, everyone flag 'em. We'll see the flags, but if enough folks flag them it can get auto-deleted. (I forget the specifics around how that works, actually... if someone remembers feel free to clarify/correct my statement).
@scaaahu We appreciate your flagging and helping with the "broken windows" on the site, but if you feel like you need a break, take one. Hopefully you can skip over the noise and still enjoy the site.
That kind of questions are easy to handle, we just have to close them. I find it much more annoying the endless stream of questions on how to email a professor.
Perhaps my next web app after oa-journal.herokuapp.com will be a web app that creates a draft email for you, for various "email a professor" scenarios.
Ha ha, that would be great! Email questions and admissions questions are probably our equivalent of "do my homework" on other sites. The various email scenarios correspond to different parameters of the same homework problem...
I'm at a restaurant and there was an american man at the table next to mine who apparently had the credit card blocked because he hadn't told the bank that he was going to go abroad. He called the bank and eventually unblocked the card. The same happened to an american friend of mine who went to India a few years ago. Do US banks assume that people don't travel outside US?
@MassimoOrtolano One summer I spent in Greece, I used my credit card for three weeks without a problem. Then one day at the supermarket, it was suddenly blocked. I have no idea why they decided to do that three weeks into my trip.
@ff524 Maybe it took them some time to notice that you were in Greece :-) Once I was in the US I had my debit card blocked while withdrawing at an ATM because there ware repeated interruption in the communications (they later told me that after a certain timeout there is an automatic block). However, I've never had the credit card blocked, and I go abroad at least 3-4 times a year. Anyway, it would be nice if banks inform people about these not-so-negiligible details.
@StrongBad Are there still places which use the old "clic-clac" machine?
@jakebeal I considered it. Actually, I was thinking about just randomly pulling some papers already cached online into the random journals: scigen.csail.mit.edu/scicache
but then I realized I had already spent an evening on a fake journal generator and didn't really need to spend any more time on it to make the point :)
Why don't we discard the traditional pencil and paper method of graph plotting in high schools and for freshers at colleges since there are many electronic devices doing the graphing? And please where do I get citation on studies that show students graphing ability
@Dilworth University of Roehampton submitted less than 1/3 of their faculty. So when you add in REF eligible research staff, you are talking about a couple of percent of their output being 4*
Alternatively, across the entire university they averaged 30 4* publications a year. That seems pretty small for a university especially if they made any strategic hires to artificially inflate those numbers
I am pretty sure most people would not call Annals of Mathematics a generalist journal. Unless the name is really deceiving, it is for the specialty of Math.
Something like PNAS is general across all of science (and more like all of STEM)
@user58865 The reason is probably (my guess) that your answer essentialy says: Don't do anything before having consulted the authority/manual etc. Though formally correct, many people feels that certain situations should be dealt with common sense.
In addition, consider that the office that you mention might be specific to the US, or to your university, and other universities around the world might not have an equivalent office: thus, many people might simply ignore your answer because it's too localized, without a necessary preamble (like the one of the title IX).
