I do what I've always done: shared. Passed the controller back and forth. Or played multiplayer games.
If you are smart you don't need the piece of paper to indicate such. It may take you a little longer to get moving upwards but experience is really what they want and you only get that by doing. If however you are not able to convince others you have a brain then get a piece of paper as this will help you.I don't have a degree (in fact dropped out during my second year), but now work for the IT department of the university I went to, and I like to think my prospects for the future are good. But it did take a little while in a ****ty job to get some experience to get this far.
"Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes research from reliable secondary sources." Absolutly *SSH*T wrong. The number of articles that need some reference to reality is staggering. If even 1% of the articles had citations from reliable sources, it would improve wikipedia by an order of magnitude. Guidelines for inclusion are: "I wrote this." Thats all. The hardware articles are fair, but software and theory are factually correct but for the most part, are WORSE than 'The Highlight Childrens Encyclopedia
Defense? Against what? The US has, BY FAR, the largest military budget in the world. It is larger than the next 46 largest combined. And most of those are strong US allies. So, who poses a threat? Who do you have to defend yourself against that you need such a large military budget?
The US could cut its military budget in half and still be the largest, most powerful military on the planet.
Ugh. I've seen this comment (more or less) all over this thread and I just have to say: Why are so many of you living with such FEAR of your management? It can't be healthy! Lighten up, people! How can you even work for your management if you can't even think of them as *humans* who might like a joke as much as the next guy? Geesh.
Once again, the FSF takes a noble goal to a loony extreme.If the device manufacturers had put the firmware in ROM (flash/EEPROM/whatever) attached to the peripheral rather than downloaded by the driver, does that really change anything? You haven't given the user any more or less freedom; you've just redistributed what lives where and probably increased hardware costs (and made firmware upgrades less simple). However, then those releases could support the device and be fully "free" according to this new FSF decision.Quite frankly, I'm a pragmatist who admires all the great freedom in Linux (and that's why I choose to use it) and supports hardware manufacturers who release their specs (hence the reason I now have an ATI graphics card). That said, at the end of the day, I want a distro that makes my hardware work without a ton of ****ing around because somebody philosophically disagreed with a driver. I also respect those who would rather not use such things.Therefore, my hope is that the Ubuntu/Fedora will not change their approach. This is one of those dealbreakers on a distro for me.
Oh, wow. I hadn't looked at my user page in ages.I notice if you go to the games user page (i.e. click on your username at the top-left of this page), the tab links are in games.slashdot-purple on a green background. Yeah, purple on dark green
the Mayan calendar merely resets at that date. similar to how computers were expected to reset at y2k, it was not that they expected the world to end they just did not include dates after that much like our calendar does not include specifically year numbers for after 9999(unless you count adding a digit but in that case you would expect the current year to be specified as 02008). http://www.xkcd.com/509/ is somewhat relevant.
Why do people still listen to the media is beyond me. Every single year they come up with something that is either A) addicting and damaging to minds B) corrupting the family/children/society or C) is somehow harmful. Be it rock and roll, cell phones, video games, comic books, etc, the media always comes up with some "studies" to back them up while two months later showing studies that prove just the opposite is true, why haven't people realized that the media has cried wolf far too many times and just tune the crap out?
This will reinforce and reiterate the above. If you bring it down to the basics, it's mostly a question of style vs. functionality.You can have a 2D game that looks 3D. (Pre-rendered sprites, etc.) And game play will still be pretty much as it was without the 3D look. So it's a style choice, and if done well it can make things look nice.Likewise, you could have a 3D game that has the render engine set up to produce cartoon lines and cell-shading. Yet it's obvious from the mechanics and gameplay that it's bu

You missed the point entirely; he has nothing against paying for support, its the fact that the supported version of the software ISN'T under the GPL and not OSI compliant. He wants to use OSI certified software AND pay for support for it.
Yes but a "cat brain" that operates at a thousand times the speed of a common house cat's will likely be able to learn how to out think us in shot order, mostly because it can use 100% of that 'brain" that it has, 24/7.
As jimicus said, there's an interface where her head/body meet the background, so it looks like she was superimposed on it, and not that it was a natural part of the picture.
Stop spreading this ****, in the correct frame of reference newtonian mechanics is correct (unfortunately the frame of reference isn't much use as all objects are stationary (relative to each other))Also E=mc^2 isn't derived from any thought experiment and is in fact wrong for any non-stationary object, E=mc^2 simply drops out as the first term in E when you expand the Lorentz transformation.E = mc^2 [ 1 + 1/2 (v/c)^2 + 3/8 (v/c)^4....]v is the objects relative velocity to you

Hey, it's a word! If you're referring to Omicron Persei 8 and 9, then you're talking about Omicron uh... Prses...

All i have to do to disprove this statement is cite an example of a government that has not.
"hydrogen peroxide, huh? Does that react with something or what?"
but does it aggregate data from "5-10 servers" and display them in a way the boss can easily access, like on a web page?

It's becoming increasingly clear that only celebrities and criminals have the right to privacy.
That's a tool bag!
