Yea, I'm overqualified for much of the work I do, but in this economy I'll take anything I can get.
Moved to Alaska from I-5 corridor Oregon/Washington where for over a year I couldn't find anything more than minimum wage. In two months I had three offers with full benefits, picked the one with the most flexible schedule and best hours.
I do education tech, so it's a state job, burning my personal time that doesn't roll over now, so two months of four day weeks then two months off work. Also get three weeks at Christmas/New Years off.
If I came across short, I'm up to my neck in year end video editing and Final Cut always makes me snap.
Cheers to your 19% raise! In this economy CoL raises are to be toasted.
Way to miss the point - state labor laws are there because people need protection from employers and actually from their own families (in the case of child labor). Sure you might think it's an inconvenience that the rules are there, but there is a reason for them.
I work 730 to 1600 with an hour off in the middle, the labor laws say they can't make me work from 730 to 1500 and then get food, so I get an hour off in the middle of the day.
I'm hourly, I will not stay a second later than I am getting paid for, will not answer the phone if a coworker is calling unless its a storm and the call is going to be phone tree about work being canceled. I will not check work email after hours, before hours or on a day off.
I can do that, because labor laws say I don't have to work because I'm not being paid.
Most technical people and even normal users I come in contact with don't refer to Apple OS releases by the marking name, but by the number. "10.6" rather than "Snow Leopard".
Skylab was originally Manned Orbital Lab and was going to be up right after Gemini, or during late Gemini in what, 66 or 67? Then it slipped and slipped and slipped.

Where does that say - "ask a software/hardware vendor why their free service isn't up and running"?
I'm not running for an office because it's an off year and because my Senators and Representatives are doing a good job and not getting wrapped up in political grandstanding on this issue, but as a voter I have every right to complain about other politicians.
And no, really there's nothing else I need to be working on right now, thanks for asking.
Deciding when a woman can have birth control, thats not sexist, men know better than women.
Calling Martin Luther King as a "pro-communist philanderer" and to Martin Luther King Day as "hate Whitey day." "Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their activities." Saying the Los Angeles riots of 1992 only stopped when it came time for "blacks to pick up their welfare checks". None of that is racist or sexist, just good old common sense.
The Apple, Google and Sony issues should be handled by the fracking Federal agencies who deal with these issues, the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection, the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice, along with the state agencies that do the same thing.
In 2006, Paul joined 32 other members of Congress in opposing the renewal of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, originally passed to remove barriers to voting participation for minorities.
Opposed to Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Paul introduced the Sanctity of Life Act of 2005, a bill that would have defined human life to begin at conception, and removed challenges to prohibitions on abortion from federal court jurisdiction.
Yes, the modern army with radar, data link, radio, satellite relays, etc need power. It's a fundamental necessity in modern warfare to have electrical power.

I got cancer when I was 7, was going to do the whole radiation and chemo thing, part of the research cohort I was enrolled in was measuring IQ and other abilities before and after cranial radiation and chemo.
Took Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities, Standard and Extended Battery four times, once right before the therapy, once a year after and then two years after that.
First two tests - 99.94th percentile, then after all the chemo and radiation, 99.63rd percentile. A fourth test 10 years after the first confirmed the 99.63rd percentile score.
My math was really hit hard by it, so were fine motor skills (measured at the same time as the IQ tests).
By the time I was done, after four years, they'd already taken a couple of the drugs and radiation out of the treatment rotation.

18% raise last year.
How about you?

Yea, I get in trouble for not taking an hour lunch here at work.
Rule is one hour away from desk.
Meh, I eat at my desk most of the time. If I go off site, I start my stop watch the second I leave the building and walk in one hour later.
If the kid wants to, he should be "allowed" to work 12 hour days, 6 days a week in a coal mine. Damn the state for getting involved!
If the company needs me to come in on Saturday and Sunday and put in 20 hours unpaid, goddamn the state for telling them to pay me!
The naming scheme for Ubuntu is terrible.

That Russian Wolf ammo will jam anything and everything.
I've seen it jam a Glock that was on about round 50, then it fired Remington and Gold Dot for 7500 rounds without jamming.
Wolf jammed my Jericho 941 where Gold Dot has never misfired or jammed.
Thanks, I doubt they ever updated that bit.
We always had red and blue snaking around on the screens.
Apple has around 65.1 billion in cash reserves right now, 4.5 million is a drop in the bucket.
I worked in a 4.11 shop, it worked just fine, years of uptime. Groupwise had some problems, the migration to 5 was nightmarish.
I really think IPX instead of IP was a mistake after 1995 though.
We ran 3.1x through 5 on dual processor Compaq Proliant 5000s, the screen saver had the blue and red snakes.
If you ran it on quads, what were the colors of the other snakes? Anyone know?
Deeprun Tram in WoW has screens running Netware like screen savers too, but gnomes only run dual core in Deeprun.

Yea, like the PRC's schedule will stick.
Skylab was originally Manned Orbital Lab and was going to be up right after Gemini, or during late Gemini in what, 66 or 67? Then it slipped and slipped and slipped.
The US went from a few guys in orbit to a small space station in 9 years. So did the Soviets.
You don't remember Skylab and the Salyuts?
Then people from all over the world can learn a little about United States customary units.

Hearings cost time and money.
Remember that Congress didn't get a final budget for 2010-11 done until a few days ago, when it should have been done by October 1 2010.
So sure, they can monkey around getting sidetracked because they've proven to be such great managers of time and schedules.

That's exactly what happened, or his kid complained.

Senators and Representatives going after Apple, now Sony, aren't there other goddamned things they should be working on?
I just assume Ron Paul supporters and libertarians are racist women haters.
