I was just about to post that. There's this stupid racing level I can never pass. You have to time your jumps better than the damn NES controller allows.
Exactly. Tables are for tabular data, not design. Even I know that, and I might be the world's worst web developer (haven't really done any web work since 2000 or 2001). Once I learned CSS, I never went back. Being able to link to a single stylesheet in each document, and effect website-wide change, is simply fantastic.
Ah, Portage. What a hole. I have to drive through part of it to get from Brandon to Winnipeg (and back) due to the whole "our overpass is gonna collapse!" thing.
This couldn't be more true. It took me months of searching here in Winnipeg to find a job. I didn't know anyone, you see - I moved here to be reunited with my girlfriend. Sent out a ton of resumes, heard nothing, which I assume came from the fact that I had little experience, only my undergrad and master's degrees in CS with a bit of summer work experience during both. I eventually got a great job at a great company, but I was worried for a while, and had to work as a telemarketer and deli clerk to make ends meet for the first little bit. ("Hi! My name is..., with UMA in Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm calling to inform you...")
Contrast this with the fact that once I defended my M.Sc. thesis back in Saskatchewan, I had a couple of people who knew my supervisor, and had met me before, e-mail me. They asked if I'd be interested in coming by and taking a tour of the company they worked for.
Third(ed?). I use some C# at work (C++ is the normal, everyday language), and it's remarkably similar to using Java, especially when you don't use any of the more esoteric features.
I've got an M.Sc. in CS, and I have to say that I wish I had done this, too. I've got a great job now, but to be honest, the extra work experience simply cannot hurt (plus, you get paid, too).
My favourite was tactics, but I admit that that's a different beast than the regular FF fare. Of the regular ones, IX was by far my favourite for the PSX.
I've had an account there almost since the beginning, and it's horrific. The UI is ugly. The site is prone to crashes, to making duplicate posts, to telling you that your attempt at posting failed (it actually succeeded! surprise!). My gaming group originally had a community there for the homebrew system we played, but we all eventually stopped using the site, due to it being a gigantic suckhole of poor code and design.
I know I wanted to be an astronaut as a kid. But once I realized that I didn't have the genius-grasp of physics required for such a job, I happily settled for "computer scientist" instead.

Sounds like you ought to be using LaTeX. It does all of those things very easily.

Word. I kicked my FFXI addiction a couple of months ago. I miss it, but I don't miss my newfound free time.
What being served from the web could NOT be called "web services"?
Those things that aren't SOAP- or XMLRPC-encoded, for a start.

Connections are incredibly important.

That's not a bug, that's a feature!
I've got an M.Sc. in CS, and I have to say that I wish I had done this, too. I've got a great job now, but to be honest, the extra work experience simply cannot hurt (plus, you get paid, too).
Finally? I took Java in my first year of undergrad, back in 1999.

There's nothing to be curious about.

...does it allow f1rs+ p0sts>?
How many games are about nothing more than fecal matter nowadays, though?
(hint: "literally" does not mean the same as "seriously")
Shenanigans!
99.5%+ and you can't even spell "colleagues" correctly?

bonk?

Bonk?!
Jesus wept. I mean, hell, even "pork" would be a better word.
Try Totem? I use it for all my video needs on Linux, and it seems to work with everything but .wmv.
Only if you're lucky.
Funny - I run Windows XP at work, and it reboots around once a month, usually when the power in the building goes down. No infections, either.
Also, Ultra-Magnus will go down in the first action sequence.
No it wasn't. Maybe by Slashdot standards, but that's hardly a barometer of humour.
