Re:Ask HN: What non CompSci courses to take in college? on Thursday January 20, 2011 @10:32AM (#2123924)
Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.

Marketing - If people don't know that you're selling something, it won't get bought.

I agree with a lot of the Philosophy comments people are making, but in general you should try to avoid as many people as you can if they are not your customers.

Your direction usually dictates your education. Your ability to learn new shit is far more important than your inherent knowledge.

Re:Why are IT people notoriously condescending? on Thursday January 13, 2011 @03:33PM (#2101239)
If someone is in an advisory role, it's easy to take their advice as condescending.

When a non-IT person has correspondence with an IT person about IT stuff it could come off as condescending because more often than not, the shared common knowledge is not there.

You probably could come off less condescending if you teach your users in terms of "Best Practices" instead of "Things to Avoid".

waazoox, thanks for your feedback. I will definitely look into geolocation. Please forgive, I'm confused by your third point. If there a way to send a text to a mobile phone without a phone number?
