"That's fine, you probably wouldn't be applying for one of my company's jobs in the first place, and even if you did, you probably wouldn't want to work there if filling out a job application is jumping through too many hoops. Nor would we want you there."
You sound like the owner of my current companies main competitor... They filed for Chapter 11 recently.
And no I DONT apply to jobs, I have not had to for 12 years now. I get job offers, interview the companies, and the ones that have dumb busywork for HR are out of the running instantly. I then make counteroffers and tak the one that I feel is a better fit. This is what happens when you are in a field with less than 600 people that do what you do in the country.
You dont attract the top people to your company by acting like a micromanaging jerk... This lady is proof that it's not your skills but who you know to become CEO.
Problem is physical contact with the body will heat the blanket. thus the insulating layer, adding a second reduces the body heating time of the insulating layer.
Wrap in a single blanket only works for a very short 6-12 seconds, then though conduction you start to heat the blanket and it starts to glow on FLIR.
I refuse to fill those out. Hell, I refuse to fill out an "application" more than writing "see resume" on it. when I am looking I usually have 4 companies or more looking to get my attention, I am not jumping through your busywork hoops just because you want to feel important.
That might be a fun thing to do to the common people that are a dime a dozen, but I dont play silly HR games. I handed you a nice resume, and more copies of it in the interview, that is all you get.
I'm guessing you would freak out when I take a big sharpie to your contract and strike out the stuff I dont like, inital the changes, and then sign it. I do that to ALL contracts, only a fool signs a contract as written.
Get yourself TWO "space blankets" and separate the two with a regular blanket. put it over you and go. You have about 60-120 seconds before your body heat will raise the outer blanket above background temperatures.
This trick has been used to fool FLIR cameras for a very long time and is easily carried unlike a 6'X6' piece of glass that is far more effective at it and a lot longer duration.
Also be sure you are not a moron and wearing "flip flops" or other crap shoes that allow a lot of heat to escape and leave thermal footprints on the ground.
Note: if they are using FLIR and searchlights, you need to cover the outisde space blanket with a couple layers of camo netting or you will stand out as a giant silver alien.
So glad that my fellow Americans are baying sheep and happy to allow these to watch them.
I have lost ALL respect for my fellow Americans. They all love the PATRIOT act, they all love being fondled at the airport, and they all WANT to be watched.
I would love to, but Dell and Lenovo refuses to sell me a "better keyboard" installed in a laptop. Where do you buy your special high end laptop keyboards?
Unity as a UI IS bad when used in a traditional computer. Same as how Windows 8 utterly sucks to those of us that do work on our computers. I have 3 24" monitors with at least 6 windows open at once and I need them all active at once. the Desktop UI had not get in my way. Under windows 8 it does. Under Unity it does.
Separating out the Desktop UI to be different between professionals and home users is a HUGE mistake when it comes to productivity. There are a LOT of really stupid changes in Unity. the scrollbars being 2 pixels wide but "POP UP" is frustrating to everyone that uses them. the UI taking over all the freaking time is annoying. And annoying = less productivity and money lost.
And the fact that you are happy with a 2007 dell means you really dont use your computer. Which is fine. facebook doesnt need much power.
I wear the letters off of a keyboard in 12 months. and the Quad core 3.0ghz i7 in my current laptop is a bit slow for what I am doing. But it's a laptop, and for field use, I can suffer until I return to my 12 core desktop.
Some of us actually use their computers as tools to make money, others look at them as toys for fun. It's like the guy that has a big cabinet of Snapon tools at home that are all clean and new looking. He doesnt actually use them.
Ouya is dead before it ships. They are trying to compete in a market that is heavily saturated with companies that are 9,000X larger than they are and have more experience and A list titles.
If it's hackable so I can run linux on it without any DRM or restrictions, I'll buy one for hacking. But as a game console it's already a failure.
Want proof of that? Look at the last 10 "indie" game consoles. they all failed. the GPX is only around because of emulators and Warez
Not really, if y ou are silly and buy it from a large supermarket where you pay for the Botique markup? yes. but I buy 5 gallon pails of honey from local small markets or Bee keepers for about $2.00 a pound.
I make Mead, so I buy a LOT of honey. and I look for the unfiltered, the extra bee parts adds to the flavor.
Most of the honey you find that is cheap, is NOT honey but HFCS that is blended with honey. They had a big thing about that in consumer reports a couple of years ago and warned everyone away from honey that has a origin labeling that stated China or Pakastan. but it is easy to spot if you know what to look for. Blended honey is very light in color and far too clear compared to real 100% honey.
Lots of places. Unless you have a product that has a major design flaw most products dont suffer the same fate. If you blow out a major chip, most of the time it's because of user failure or engineering flaw. And like I said, most of the time it is not a major chip as a failure.
for example, my 55" Panasonic plasma that I snagged for $25.00 in a broken state. It's failure was actually the power supply. Replacing several transistors a Power transistor and rebuilding a couple of board traces by using wire wrap wire brought it back to life.
A friends PSP only had physical damage to the main board. Obscure chip failures are incredibly rare.
But, I have repaired many Xbox360's by finding other broken ones not all RROD failures are complete chip cooking, Most people chuck the box or sell it on craigslist for $10.00. So the "hope" is not difficult, in fact if you find a common failure, there is a flood of parts out there from other failed devices.

I'm 45. And I will enjoy it for a very long time, until I am sick of working and just retire.

I am sorry sir, your BS from Brown is not acceptable for the Janitorial position. we are looking for people from Yale to fill that position.

They are called ultrabooks and Dell sells a LOT of them.
Nope. I'm fat, so that makes me the cow...
Mooooo....

I am sure his Hexacore with SSD is using a $19.00 Intel non 3d video card and only 512 meg of ram...
People that build big machines always forget to install ram or video cards.

When you dont use a computer. That happens.

I also have never had a SSD last more than 24 months. Most last less than a spinning hard drive.
I use them for the speed, but anyone claiming they are reliable are smoking some strong peyote.

I start pirating Console games. If it hurts them then I am happy.
Which is why I burn it... it keeps all that carbon right there.
Like the fact that most people are too stupid to WASH their reuseable bags?

It also cant fly on it's own, so it's a double failure!
Exactly... It's a joke. and it seems that nobody on Slashdot has any sense of humor.
I want him to do it on a day with 3 feet of snow on the roads and -3 degree F temps. that Tesla roadster wont get 20 feet.
