RE: How can a freelancer get a serious programming job?
My 2 cents...
Coming from a similar story, I found that you aren't going to be paid full developer wages without one of two things:
1) Experience
2) CertificationsYou are going to have to work for sub-par wages until you finish your degree or get enough experience to qualify for the "or equivalent experience" verbiage on almost all job requirements.
Some things you can do to jump-start your resume would be to write some software on your own, to assist in whatever task you are currently assigned, be it a job or school work. I could definitely see someone listing their job title as "student", with a full complement of achievements during that period of your life. It would fit nicely on a resume.

I'll have to consider it. I never really thought about it before because I got burned on pair programming in college. We had a couple classes that required pair programming on all assignments, and basically I did 95% of the work while the other guy watched. If I tried to get the other guy coding usually he'd end up running the keyboard while I told him what to type.
Ah, but here's the way pair-programming works: Because there's only one keyboard, someone does have to type, while the other watches. Where I work, we take turns: one day I'll be the "programmer" while the other will be the "observer." The next time we do it, it'll be the other way around. Obviously it only works if the observer is attentive and is willing to actually contribute to the process by pointing out anything that he would do another way, and the programmer needs to be open to criticism (just as he does in a code-review). The observer could pick up a technique he never considered before, and the programmer could, too, if the observer says, "Here's what I would do..."
Again, pair-programming works best if the task at hand is complicated. It's a waste of time if you're putting together a simple view or are coding something that is mundane. And it requires attention and cooperation from both programmers.
Two keyboards.
Two mice.
One Computer.
Profit.

RE: Subunitary information
I thought milli was not 1000 of something, but 1/1000 of something... ala millimeter...
So wouldn't a millibit be 1/1000 of a bit?

RE: Excel Formula WTF
INDIRECT is indeed esoteric; but there is no other reasonable way to implement what it does (evaluate a formula that returns a cell reference, then get the value of that cell). When you figure out that you need it, you will love it.
I think i've needed it once :) -

What exactly is cool about that?
I remember having great fun with nested marquee tags :)
