I'm currently going to the community college for an Associates Degree in Commercial Music Management, I'm highly considering a different career choice, I feel like I'm much better with computers and electronics. I was wondering if there is like a reverse engineering course or a type of course dealing with Android devices (creating roms, themeing, etc.) I know it also depends on the college as to what is offered but what would the name for these type of courses be called?

Why not just go for networking (sisco systems etc) its really good pay even with a 2 year; starting from 60k to about 80-90 in 4 years depending on where you live. App developers don't all become rich its more of a gamble sort of like winning the lottery. Your app has to be completely different from the other 200 million apps out there. That career may not be as rewarding as you think it is especially trying to take care of a family. If you really want a somewhat secure career that has multiple options try computer science BS (4 year) or Computer Information Systems BS. Be prepared for more math you've ever seen in your life I hope you're a wiz with numbers to learn all the different computer languages. Also try applying for financial aid if that's something you need to attend a 4 year. Investing 30-40k in your future is nothing when your starting salary would be 70k as a beginner. Good luck
Are you good with Maths, especially theoretical Maths such as Statistics, discrete math? Do you like algorithms? Are the things below your interest?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_mathematics
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort
Computer Science (CS) may be a good fit if you like the above. Like kenny mentioned, be prepare for abstract, theoretical maths you will ever seen going into Computer Science. Computer Engineering is also another great major for similar interests. Both majors can prepare you for graduate studies and research & development.
If you like software/application development and do not want to deal with the theoretical stuffs in CS, Computer Information Systems/Management Information Systems may be better for you.
With today's information at the tips of your fingers, do your research on the Internet, talk to friends, even school counselors/advisors, to help with choosing your major.
Good luck!

I majored in political science (BS) and I'm doing my master right now. I plan to attend law school when I'm done next summer. I'm 26 so the fact that you're 17 and in law school is not really believable unless you're a genius miracle kid. Did you skip your bachelors? I'm confused *scratches head* I mean you could go to college but you'd be "pre law" and not technically in law school yet but transitioning to head there.

I skipped getting my BA and am going straight for my JD.
this might be why your confused, its a non aba school. its a cba. but I'm looking to start my own firm later on so this dosent matter to me.
I figure with me having a jd and my AA from a JC. it would impress USC and impress them so I can walk on and play football at USC.
or instead of going to USC, I could get a SJD.
or just start working or try and start my own firm at 21.
my AA is in information technogloy btw but I haven't even begun my AA yet time is becoming a factor.
7-9pm is law school. 4-6 is football. 11-4 is jc. As you see where is time for work? Almost no time to meet drunk college girls.

Just gonna say. People can protest all they want but Congress is pretty much hell bent on getting it passed. The only solution I see is that when it is passed and most sites are blocked, people will be in outrage because they have all been in the dark about SOPA. Riots will ensue untill the Supreme Court rules it unconstitutional on the basis that it restricts peoples freedoms on the internet.
Whatever the case is, it will be gone in the future.

Quite frankly, this bill should never be passed. I can understand wanting to protect artist's rights, but this is pushing it far beyond constitutional boundaries. Even if it is repealed though, I'm sure they won't hesitate to try again with a lighter variant, which would've otherwise been repealed..
You guys all know this will have far reaching consequences other than a few torrent sites going down right?
If this passes Youtube will cease to exist as you know it. It will be much too much work for them to filter new uploaded videos to make sure there is not any music clips, company logos, or other references that someone can close them down for. After awhile it will be too costly and too much work to maintain and police so Youtube may just go away forever.
Any site can be shut down for anything that someone thinks might have something on it related to a copyright of any kind. Someone could be sued for drawing a picture of the USS Enterprise and putting it on their site even. That is considered a copyright and illegal if the bill is passed.
You are guilty until proven innocent. Do you have the money for the lawyers to prove your innocence? Or is it easier to just shut your site down and not take the chance? If someone just doesn't like you they can claim you have copyrighted material and you will be shut down. If they find nothing then you can go back up but will it be worth the constant hassle?
On a forum such as this if someone has a picture as their avatar, or in their sig that someone somewhere has some rights to, the site can be shut down. It will make things a big chore to keep up with.
Make no mistake, this draconian bill will destroy the internet as you know it, and will effect much more than pirate sites.
In the US of A today what big corporations want, big corporations get. They own most of the law makers in Washington of both parties. Ever since the Citizens United ruling by the 5 right-wing corporatist justices that say "corporations are people and money is speech" politicians are beholden to corporate interests. If you as a politician go against the corporate powers that be , they will flood your opponent with advertizing cash to defeat you in the next election. This has already happened since the ruling. All this does is make any politician that wants to keep his job genuflect at the knees of corporate America. In this case the music and movie industry among others are driving this bill.
This is a BIG deal folks, even if you never will partcipate in any piracy of any kind.

It seems so if you look around, I found this statement:
"Is the SOPA bill dead? In the wake of criticisms released by the Obama administration Saturday, many observers predict the Stop Online Privacy Act and its sister act, the Protect IP Act (or PIPA), are dead on arrival."
But that doesn't meant we can relax. Corporate America is ruthless when it comes to getting what they want (which is why we give billions of dollars in corporate welfare to super rich Exxon just so they can rip us off). We need to keep up the pressure.

well it looks like that black out did quite a bit of damage. hahaha anyone else see "WTF WIKI?" tweets?
In an exciting turn of events, it turns out that Lamar Smith, the man behind SOPA, has actually used copyrighted material for his personal website without credit. And not just once, either.
So, I'm just posting that because many nations in Europe are trying to push ACTA in, they've discussed that in hidden meetings (that's why most of You probably don't even know about it). What's ACTA? Simply - SOPA for Europe. Enough of the descriptions, isn't it?
Hidden meetings no. It's just that such a law is so stupid it just wont pass. So people don't really care about it. But SOPA had come a lot further then ACTA, when ACTA comes to the same point people in the EU will flip.
Wish the best for you EU guys.

It's not about killing the internet. Remember as we get older politicians are getting closer to our age. Now its starting to become about information control, limiting public outcry at worst or keeping information unavailable at best. There are some very good articles online about how SOPA and related bills are not about lack of understanding but more about control. It's kinda scary when you look at it from a control perspective than a lack of knowledge perspective.

The article went on to describe how you could potentially be sued for having a tattoo of a company logo. Bit extreme and probably unlikely but it just goes to show how powerful ACTA could be.

I do agree the monitoring has been going on for a long time, but it has either taken steps that no one would before or at least taken steps publicly that every other regime did in secret. If it is just the same sh*t diff pile then doing it publicly is just a slap in the face to everyone. I'd rather they try to hide it then do it and blatantly step on our rights.
Oh, one more thing, who's given illegal immigrants more rights/help than the average American who is in need of help too?
I'm pretty sure most companies track your online habbits. They claim the use it for "market research". On my phone I'm not really that bothered by it, I don't do anything on it that I want to keep private, because I don't trust how private they are.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, unless you are embarassed you look at porn on your phone. Just keep things you would like to be personal and not tracked heavily on a properly secured connection at home, and possibly use TOR if you are that paranoid and want a little extra security.
Actually, I believe there is Tor available for android. It may help cut down on what they know your doing.

Hi Guys. I was wondering if there is any apps or method I could use to (block incoming) {know how to do this and out going calls and even mms if possible. I have this phone rooted and and running cm7. Its acctually a HTC inspire. However you guys in the HOX forum are my family
Reason behind this is my daughter is getting [email protected] grades. I think it is important in this day for a teenager to have comunications for emergency. I'd like to know how I can limit her from usage. ATT wants to charge me 5 bucks a month to do this.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I never understood the rational behind doing something like that. Do you honestly think denying her the ability to use a phone is going to motivate her to spending her time actually studying? I know I wouldn't.
Sent from my HTC One XL
Rational is for every action there is a reaction. Good grades are required to have a cell phone. Bad grades = no cell phone.
Or choice if you like? Choose to have bad grades = choose to not have a cell.
I've taken it away. But would like her to have the opportunity in emergency to contact essential persons.

I guess I don't view negative reinforcement as an effective solution. Granted, I'm not a parent but I was more recently a teenager with bad grades. Well... Not that recent but you get the idea. I certainly don't mean to tell you how to raise your children and think I might be overstepping my bounds.
Anyway... I you can still dial 911 if you take the SIM card out on a lot of phones. She won't be able to call you but could still use the phone for emergency use only. Dunno of an app to do what you're asking unfortunately.

Try that in conjunction with some sort of call blocker.. allow only your number and wife's etc. Then password protect the app, password protect the uninstall apps and settings so she can't bypass anything

She is 15 you have to be 16 to drive in my state.
My wife and I let them pic the consequences for their actions.
She picked the cell cause she didn't want to be grounded.
I hope you guys don't think I'm some sort of Nazi parent.
Hell my older boy had illegal substance in his room and only got grounded for two weeks. Kept all his Xbox, phone. He has a 3.7 GPA and does is chores though.

Don't let anyone tell you how to parent, only you know what will and won't work on your kids. Good on you for being an active parent, regardless of how you choose to do it
Also, rationale, not rational.
I'm just speaking from my experience as a child... I'm 17 now... My parents don't believe in grounding or taking anything away on that note... I think that's the way to go I believe when parents take stuff away you want to do worse to piss them off... I've gotten caught stealing(I'm sorry) smoking weed.. all they give me is a slap on the wrist...I have a 4.3 GPA taking intense classes and having the freedom and that makes me hapyy and want to work harder ...just my two cents ..everyone has their own beliefs though

Cut me some slack Bob? No Predictive text. lol
@omario your a self motivated person. I can tell.
My kids have "my" retard gene.(hence my bad spelling that Bob pointed out) They have to work hard to get good grades. When I got custody of my older two from my ex. They were both in special education, 3 years behind. Its been a lot of hard work to get them caught up in school. I just want them to succeed. If any of you have better ideas for consequences? I'll run it by my daughter and see if she's OK with it. Like I said she picks the poison.

Letting your girl "pick her destiny" is good, at least I think so. I'm 20 year old now, and when I was getting in trouble in school and what not my parents would discipline as they saw fit. I was being extremely dumb and thought it was cool to do drugs(weed) but, because I was in soccer and working my way towards a soccer scholarship... My parent's didn't do a whole lot, I just got teh truck taken away from me for a few weeks, and I had to tell my coach if i ever wanted to get my keys back. He is like a second father to me, and he kept getting on me when I messed up at practice. I'll never forget certain moments at practice either... It was absolute hell but, I've never touched that stuff since. I've carried a 4.0 through my senior year, and currently have a 3.6 in my soph year of college. Scholarship is almost up, and now I'm looking to join the military. I can't thank my parents enough for the way they handled that. Most f the people that I have hung out with in high school are now dealers/arrested for possession with intent to distribute/pregnant... That list could go on forever.

To each his own. To me, what that stuff did to me, was bad. I say bad... Be cause it hurt me on the field. I am a gk, and it messed with my reactions and split second thinking/decision making. It effects people differently. One of my long time friends got arrested for possession with intent to distribute. It messed with my conditioning BAD. Before, I was able to run a mile in just over 7 minutes, for my body type that's pretty good. I am 5'10" 195#. My time slowly started to decrease... I look back and I will never be able to thank my parents and my coach enough.

I see where your coming from yeah Im center mid I played division 1 soccer which is the top around here... I say played because I had to get knee surgery from soccer over the summer and none months recovery so ill be back in June but I think im done with competitive play... My conditioning did get a bit worse which I can admit to while I was still playing.. as for the arrest I'm truly sorry ..nobody deserves tha for just this...here In california I think u have to 8 g on u to be held up for intent to sell... But I will stop when I have to settle down and be a consistent man in the real world.. I have no doubt you're happy you stopped ..sometimes I wish I didn't do it sometimes I just have that crave to chill out and sit back.. but like u said "to each his own"
Ya I tried it a couple times when I was younger. Just wasn't for me. I don't care if my kids experiment with it. They're gonna do that any way. Just don't want it to run or ruin their lives.

Experimentation is different than using, in my eyes. If I ever have kids, I say that because my little cousins are natural living birth control, I wouldn't scold them for being a teenager but like you said, I wouldn't let it run/ruin their lives.

Yeah nothing like communism..
You sir should do your own research and stop watching msnbc.
His policies are communistic and have failed throughout history.
Just yesterday he said " I will not compromise with the house because I know what is right for the country"
He thinks he is a f u c k i n g emperor!

He's not a dictator, we have checks and balances. We already had a gun control discussion, but if you have a problem with any of the executive orders he pulled on gun control you're a serious right winger.
He mandated schools be taught drills for a shooter. He mandated federal databases are now integrated into the background check system. He lifted THE BAN ON FEDERAL RESEARCH into gun violence. Yeah. Ban on federal research. Good job NRA.
The entire civilized world has healthcare, yes. It's a bit communistic and it's not a good economic policy. Guess what, people don't deserve to die because they can't afford the care. You and your paycheck have to deal with it.
This really got off topic though
Edit; Agnostic atheist here. religion we have to stay away from. politics is fine, we can all have a level headed discussion about that. But religion hits too close to home for some people

Oh goody here we go!
I'm not a serious "right winger" but I served in the armed forces ( btw what have you done for your country?) I think weed should be legalized, because I have personally fought in these drug wars and have seen how little of an impact it has with great loss of lives. But only weed because it really is no more harmful then beer.
As for gun control, really? I guess you don't read the news?? Chicago has some of the toughest laws in the country yet they had more killings then any other city, 500 to be in fact.
More people where killed with hammers last year then guns. As a mater of fact only 1 percent of fatalities in the USA where caused by guns last year.
Do I own guns, yes. My first rifle was given to me at the ripe old age of twelve. A ruger 10/22 I have hunted rabbit with it ever since. I was taught well never kill what you are not going to eat. That is cruel.
And are health care system is second to none. Canadians come here and pay cash to use are services because there system is okay but not great. Even the King of Saudi Arabia came here when he was having hart problems.
Are health care system was just fine, mater a fact illegal immigrants have better health coverage then I do because I'm a natural born citizen..
Almost forgot your last comment, people are more likely to go without treatment under Obama's plane then they will now because under his plan a board decides whether treatment is needed. As it stands now a hospital does not have a choice, they must treat anyone who walks through the er
So your point is void.
Edit :
You can't be agnostic and atheist, they are a contradiction.

You mistook what I said man, first - sorry the 'right winger' but most arguments against gun control that I hear all focus on the idea that liberals want to take AWAY guns. They don't. They want to make it more difficult to get them.
Chicago is an awful city, there's much more at work there then gun control laws. You know this and I know this. Gun control is a hugely complicated issue, and each point we both make can be refuted by the other.
The executive orders that he did aren't communist though. Like I said, do you actually have trouble with schools been mandated to be aware of shooter protocol? Or that background check systems become syncd? Or that the CDC is now allowed to research gun violence again?
Our health CARE is good, we have some of the best doctors in the world. Our technology is amazing. Our COVERAGE wasn't great. Is there still problems? Yes. We were denying people with 'preexisting conditions' and leaving them to wither away and die. That's not okay.
Has Obama been perfect? Hell no. I'd much prefer him to Romney though.

Yes they do sadly. Did you not read the article I posted?
Chicago is an awful city said:
It's not complicated those that are good law abiding citizens that should have the right to have a weapon to defend themselves are not allowed. Those that choose not to follow the law, and know that fellow citizens that are law abiding do not have weapons, it makes it easy for them to bully them. Just as the current administration is trying to do to use now.
The executive orders that he did aren't communist though. Like I said said:
Well I kind of do, By there standards I would have never got my first rifle. I would not have brought back my first six rabbits gutted them and fed my family on my first hunt (btw we were on a deer hunt the rabbits were just dinner for the night) Do you hunt or fish? Did your father? I'm pretty sure your grandfather did.
The school drills aren't exactly new. When I was a kid it was earthquake drills and bombing drills. Yeah this guy is so forward thinking. Please..

Of course you would, Mahmoud AhmadinejadIran was pleased as well.
