You and I ought to write a book. Most of the experience that gets attention on my resume is still volunteer work I do, and little side gigs I worked on through college.
Heck that's what got me my present full time job. Ok, that and exploiting the large network of contacts I made while...
I personally add tuna fish and make a quicky casserole. I prefer the powdered orange cheese in the pouch variety. It's a taste from childhood that the newer cream cheeses lack.
My wife's off Mac and cheese though. She had a craving for it pregnant, and now she can't get it past her lips. (Sigh)
My wife and I had a baby a few months ago, and money is a bit tight. We have been eating a lot more meals at home now, and I've been taking lunxh to work.
I've actually found preparing my own food to be a time saver. Rather than drive to the resteraunt, find parking, wait to be seated, wait for the food, and wait for the check we just toss some pasta on and go. Stir fry is another quick, easy, and nutritious favorite.
At work I find grabbing my sandwich out of the fridge a lot more enjoyable than hiking out to the reseraunt or getting taken up the pooper at the cafeteria. (I work at a museum, while I get a discount, it's still damn expensive.)
Plus the money we saved meant we could pay for emergencies out of pocket instead of running up the charge card.
And she was single because my Dad died you insensitive clod! By the sweat of her brow she managed to raise my brother an me, keep us fed, and in a good school!
Ok, then she got remarried a few years later... but that's not the point.
Look, dude. Part of the game of life is to figure out how to propel yourself ahead.
And you're clearly not going to be able to do that if you let everybody and his grandmother fsck you up the ass.
Quit complaining. There are 4.0 students who got there from the sweat of their own brows; disabuse yourself of the notion that the couple of creeps who used you mirror all top-scoring students. This will help you focus on your own life and advancing yourself. Something required in order for progress to be made.
I said many, not all, not even "most".
Teamwork is predicated on trust and mutual exertion for mutual gains. Despite being screwed multiple times, you still have to trust or you will go crazy. (That said, once you get on my shit list, it's hard to get off it.)
It was not I who failed to learn a lesson. It was they who played a system, and they that will ultimately lose. The longer it takes for the consequences of their behavior, the worse it is for them. I don't hate them, I pity them.
4.0's come in 4 flavors. Those that really are that brilliant. I respect, admire, and worship the ground they walk on. If I could buy what they are in a bottle, I would. Then there are those who are idiot savants. They are great at schoolwork, but that's about it. There is a place for them in this world, and their genius can be harnessed in a supportive environment. The third are the folks who drop any course that presents a challenge to them. The fourth are the shark pod. The folks who collude amoungst themselves to share work. Who exploit lab partners. Who have a network to comb through past exams. Who contest bad marks to the point that professors cave in.
They go far. For a while. Then they end up disgraced, if not incarcerated.
You would be hard pressed to find a resteraunt (at least in the US) that served realistic food portions. Eating a days worth of food in a meal is not healthy over a sustained period of time.
I do hear you. Eating in guarentees nothing. Healthy living is a lifestyle of everyday choices.
Learn a lesson from Mac OS X. I installed OSX on a formatted hard drive a few days ago and not a single piece of hardware had to be manually configured. It was ALL done for me. I know it's a bad comparison because Mac only works on very select hardware, but there's nothing stopping *nix from creating this hardware database and becoming the Mac OS X of the x86 world.
Um, that would be because every computer that is capable of running Mac OS X came from a single company, the same one that put out the OS. You could just as easily say the same thing about Sun.
Spoken as a bitter college dropout, who was screwed by just about every lab partner, and ended up doing the heavy lifting on all the "team" projects, before running out of money my Senior year.
No, I'm not bitter that these wankers were getting scholarships renewed off my work. Not a bit...
Having gone through engineering school, I have become very suspect of "perfect" people. Behind many 4.0's are a pile of lab partners who were shortchanged, lifted papers, cheating on exams, and behind the scenes dealings with professors.
Perhaps you didn't understand me. I've found the difference in battery life between full up and "powersave" to be negligable. If the processor is Idle, Linux already signals the processor to partially power down. (Intel and AMD have an "idle" instruction.)
I've found the backlight and hard drive use far more power than the processor, regardless of the mode.
Work's buying me a new iBook. 6 hour battery life. More than 6 hours and I'd need a break anyway.
My current Vaio has about 2 hours of battery. It's running Gentoo with the 2.6 kernel, and I've managed to get it to flip the speedstep processor down. It really only makes the computer run slower. The backlight on the display is what chews battery like gum.
For my purposes, I need a full keyboard. I actually find the back of a municpal transit bus the ideal place to code. I get on the bus at the first stop, and always take the seat right behind the rear door. That sheet metal barrier they set up gives me a few extra inches of room to flip the screen up.
And yes, the laptop does operate well off my lap. And I usually type comfortably with someone in the next seat, unless they are a creasote or something.
Ascap regularly takes enforcement action against churches for xeroxing sheet music and the Girl Scouts for live "performances" of campfire songs. Why would clear channel be any different?
The trick here is that these algea farms CAN sit in the middle of nowhere.
For a nuclear power plant to be much use it needs to be in the vicinity of a metropolitan area. Despite what the energy traders would have you believe, you CAN'T just pipe electricity from one side of the country to the other.
Nuclear power requires a tremendous amount of water, and produces a lot of waste heat. Around Philadelphia they diverted a good chunk of the flow of the Delaware river to feed the Limerick plant, which then dumps the heated waste water into the Schulkyl.
To be fair, water consumption and waste heat are not specific to nuclear power. They just tend to be such large scale operations, owing to economies of scale.
Er, the problem with electric cars is how to store the energy. Yes, they are damn effiecient. But the energy density is nowhere near what is required to power a family car, let alone a big-rig truck.
While photosythesis may be "ineffiecent" it's cheap to make, and the product (fats and oils) are readily converted to the stuff we dump into our engine already. (Ok, our diesel engines.)
Oils have the advantage of being an energy storage mechanism we can throw in a truck. You can't bottle electricity. At least not very well, nor very long. Think of how long you run off a bowl of outmean versus your laptop running on a battery.
There is a difference between "optimal" and "efficient".
The properties of this algae have been known for a couple of years. Any good sci-fi author pockets nuggets llke this in the back of their mind when the need a good plotline.
Few are as satisfying as "Evil Megacorp suppresses technology that could make the world a better place."
FWIW, I thought the ending of the first Metal Gear laid on the "Save the Environment" them a little thick.

No a for profit school would waste money on a high-salaried executive team.
Medical bills, legal bills, same difference these days.
Then again Drexel's mascot is the shaft.

For the record, apertame is a sweetener and olestra a fat-substitute. Neither was classified as a preservative.

Well actually that's called the insanity defense.
Ashamed? A lawyer feel ashamed? Don't they have that part of the brain that feels shame surgically removed before passing the bar?

Hey, this is a guy who has probably spent 4 years explaining to his professors why HIS answer to the exam was correct.
They just get innured to special treatment.

Actaully Ashcroft would just use the statute to harras anyone the find with porn. Think Al Capone and tax evasion.

Kind of kills 2 birds with one stone. All the biomass sucks carbon dioxide while at the same time giving us a cheap energy storage mechanism.
Of course, the folks who profit from energy scarcity are going to keep a lid on it.
