  1. Re:i hope this isnt redundant but... on How Yoda Became an Action Star · · Score: 0

    Early in the movie it is mentioned the the force is weakening because of the strengthening of the dark side. I think that would explain Yoda's straining to lift a obviously heavy pillar.

  2. Superball? on How Yoda Became an Action Star · · Score: 0

    I thought Kermit the Frog on Meth was more appropriate...

    Yeah, and we all know Nachos are a quiet food...

    I came from the exact same background.

    19, some college, stocking shelves on night crew at Safeway, and decent computer skills.

    I broke into the industry by tutoring at the local college I went to. By helping everybody I developed a good reputation. One day a gentlemen asked if I was looking for a job. 2 years later he is still my boss.

    Basically, the advice I give is donate some time to either a non-profit or for-profit business(all businesses could use free help) and bide your time. If you don't get a job offer after a year or two of that then start looking for a job elsewhere. You would have enough real world experience to get a decent job.

    My $.02.

  5. Contradiction on Linux: Browser Wars · · Score: 1

    Just something I noticed that didn't seem right Furthermore, when the preferences dialog is loaded, it's not immediately apparent where the option to toggle JS is. It's actually under the Applications section for some reason, under the plugin's tab. Illogical, given JS is not a plugin, but actually built into Opera. then at the end: One final comment: only Netscape actually comes with Java support built in. For all the others you'll need a Java environment to run Java applets. Attention to detail is one of the finer points of a good journalist. Oh well, the article seems poorly thought out anyway. A newer machine and update browsers would have lended more credibility. -Mel
