I agree. I saw the second Matrix film on DVD and had to "rewind" (or whatever it is you do with DVDs) several times so I could make out what was being said. So I got a lot out of the film because I could follow what was going on.
In a cinema, I think it would all wash over you - you'd be so phazed by the fight scenes that the dialog/philosophy would pass you by.
... assembly instructions are in a PDF called "elephant-asse.pdf". Just waiting for it to download now. Hope it makes it past the office "naughty filters"...
At apogee, SpaceShipOne was in near-weightless conditions, emulating the characteristics it will later encounter during the planned space flights in which it will be at zero-g for more than three minutes
I can get the same effect by jumping in the air, can't I?. Just for a shorter time?
Well, I'm off to emulate the characteristics I will later encounter during the planned space flights now.
As the other reply to this post says, there may be legal reasons for needing specific experience in a position. However, even if there aren't you might still want experience within a particular industry before you hire someone.
I work in the financial industry (investment banking) and we actively look for people who know as much about the business as the business guys themselves. Why? Well, we want people to understand what the business guys are talking about when they come to us for a solution. And we want IT to suggest solutions to the business guys before they even realise they need a solution!
As other posters to the "f*$ you" thread above have said, if you're going to hang on to your job (or get another one) in the face of outsourcing to other countries, you'd better know a hell of a lot about the business you're in, as that's really the only thing that gives you value over a (possibly bettter) programmer from India!
If you've never seen Doctor Who before, don't start by watching this animation!
Full appreciation can only be achieved by watching a classic Jon Pertwee era episode (say the Green Death one), from behind a cushion on the sofa. And by being six years old...
A friend of mine did the same (in the UK). My (landline) phone bill is about 40 pounds a quarter, of which 35 is for the lease on the line! (Rough figures only) So it can make sense to go only mobile.
And before you ask, the 5 pounds a quarter usage bill isn't affected by the number of times I ring my mobile to find it - I hang up before it connects!
