Will My Employment History As A Truck Driver Matter When I Start Looking For A Job As A Software Developer?


Posted by benny

*I am taking classes online.
Here is my history:
12/03-2/05 US Army
Deployed in Iraq
Heavy Equipment Operator
4/05-4/06 OWBF (a furniture place)
Local Box Truck Driver
8/06-12/06 Werner Enterprises
OTR Truck Driver
12/06-Present JB Hunt
OTR Truck Driver
I would really like to start working for a local company so that I can be home more often but I am concerned that when I finish my Bachelors degree next summer that no one will want to hire me because I have switched jobs too many times.
What do you think about this? Will moving to one final truck driving job make a difference in whether or not I can get hired as a software developer?

Does Anyone Know Where To Go To Demo Voice Recognition Software Within The Sydney Area?


Posted by benny

Trying to find out more information about voice recognition software and to get a demo before purchasing as it’s expensive and I want to ensure it works first! I have looked at the Dragon brand, but can’t find anyone that can demo it.

What Is Best Anti-virus/spyware For My Computer?


Posted by benny

I just bought a new hp desktop 6 days ago with amd athlon 5600+ windows vista home premium 3 gb ram 500 gb sata hard drive im not really quite sure but i think the video memory is only 128 mb… the computer comes with a free 60 day trial to use norton but this sunday i will have a comcast provider for internet and they have that service that comes with mcafee and my computer has that windows defender thing not quite sure what the differences are but the people that sold the comp to us warned us to buy a antivirus software because they’re computer got attacked by viruses or either got hacked and needed to buy a new one…
P.s. I havent used the free 60 day norton thing I dont really have internet yet im waitin for comcast and either today or tomorrow i will buy a new antivirus/spyware software for my comp…

Yahoo!mail Virus Scan?


Posted by benny

How reliable is the Yahoo!Mail virus scan and does it need to be updated too? If so, how?
One nature of my work is to receive Word and Excel files thru email. And I am using my private computer since I am based at home.
Im presently using the AVG anti-virus Free Edition and it isn’t good at all.
I don’t have the means to purchase a new and more reliable antivirus software for now.
Can i rely on the Yahoo!Mail virus scanner for the meantime?
Thanks!

What Is My Best Security Option On Windows Xp?


Posted by benny

I’m quite confused about this security stuff. I was using Norton security scan, the free version, and one day it told my I had 18 bits of spyware. Since I didn’t want to pay for the upgrade in order to remove them, I downloaded some free spyware, firewall and anti-virus software recommended in an old Yahoo Answers answer. These are: PC Firewall Plus, PC Tools AntiVirus, SUPER AntiSpyware and ThreatFire. I then uninstalled Norton.
Since then, my desktop seems to be behaving worse than ever. It’s slower and less reliable, the spyware programme seems to keep finding new spyware despite claiming to have removed it, and there’s the edge of a window in the bottom left corner of the screen that I can’t seem to access or close by any means.
What should I do? I have 2 different computers and I’d really like not to have to spend too much on protecting them, but I’m not sure whether I can trust this free software.
What do you think is my cheapest reliable option? Ideally I’d like to get a programme that is free or as cheap as possible, can clear up the current mess, protect my computer reliably and automatically, and update automatically without my having to buy new versions!
What would be your best suggestion?
