In the interest of further condensing resumes, I've always thought that the "Objective" section was unnecessary. If you're sending a cover letter, your objective is already much more coherently spelled out there. If you're not, then the person reading your resume is free to match you up with whatever position he/she has that fits your qualifications, not just what you have limited it to in your Objective section.
I think you can replace your 20-30 bullet lines with about four or five lines summarizing all the technologies you have experience in, and then just list your places of employment as a footnote (unless you've worked at a huge name company, where you've worked in the past really isn't that important for a resume) You can talk about the context of your qualifications more in depth at your interview.
Finally, if you must have a "References" field (although I find that unnecessary as well), a simple "Available upon request" does the trick. I think there are few people who will actually call those references before interviewing you, and you are free to give them to your interviewer at that point.
That's a pretty huge resume you've got there. I always try to keep mine to only one page, no matter how much stuff I want to put on there. Your resume is only supposed to get you an interview, not a job, so you don't have to cram it full of every single piece of information about yourself. You just need to make all the important parts stand out, so you don't overwhelm the poor drone who screens 40 or 50 of these a day, and instead make him think "I'd like to know more about this person..."
Then all you need to do is ace your interview, and you're in like Flynn.
Expounding on the work of Alan Parsons, what if someone were to form an "Alan Parsons Project" to harness the power of the moon to create a huge "laser", transforming the moon into a "death star" like weapon against the earth?
We must think of the consequences...

If we take away all of the power of the moon, then there will be no light left. With no light, the term "dark side of the moon" will have no meaning. Pink Floyd songs will lose their relevance, no longer inspiring people to commit suicide. Earth's population will soar, until it becomes so crowded we will all suffocate each other to death.
That will be simple, once we get three dimensional display technology figured out. Full length three dimensional movies will eat up 500GB of memory easily...
Damn, just how much memory would it really require to do a simple Holodeck simulation?
For most people, the purpose of going to college is to get good grades in order to get into a good job or graduate school. This is not the optimal way to go about learning, just as concentrating on pumping up short term stock prices is not the optimal way to build a healthy company.
I say the whole grading thing should be scrapped until you are ready to graduate. With no grades, cheating is irrelevant, and you can do whatever you need to learn the material. At the end, you spend two days in isolated testing, the first day for testing on all the core fundamentals your degree entails. The second day is spent writing a paper detailing the roles and responsibilities of someone with your degree, and a writeup on how you would handle a certain scenario as presented to you on the day of the test.
If the results of the two days of testing are satisfactory, you've proven that you deserve a degree in your speciality. If not, well, study more and try again next year.
Alas, musenki only means "wireless device" in Japanese. If you wanted to say "handheld wireless device" you could say keitai musenki, but then you'd be confusing all the poor saps who think that a keitai must be a phone (the long form for a portable phone is keitai denwa, but it's become so ubiquitous that if you say keitai alone, it's assumed that you mean a phone)
Didn't the same thing happen with Top wo Nerae (Gunbuster)? The last episode had lots of concept sketches and such in place of a final climactic battle scene. You'd think Anno would get his funding problems straightened out the second time around!
If you're going to be like that about it, there's always going to be some portion of the world where it's not April 1st. As soon as the last section moves out of March 31st, so other section of the world will be beginning April 1st. So I say that, when it's midnight April 1st on the East Coast, let the shit fly!
Nope. I live in Japan. I bought the game. It's been advertised ever since Final Fantasy X came out (it's one of the features on the bonus DVD that comes with it) It's the real deal.

The interesting conclusion on the Pioneer status page is that "Pioneer 10 and any etched metal message aboard it are likely to survive for much longer periods than any of the works of Man on Earth." This is because in about 5 billion years - give or take a few months, our sun will expand and consume Earth.
I'd like to think that, given the several billion year leadtime we'll have, we should be able to acquire the technology to alter Earth's orbit to a proper distance away from the sun...or better still, send a quantum clone of the Earth through hyperspace towards a similar galaxy where it can remain in peace for another couple billion years.
I think CE is the middle ground between hardware and software. At the University of Michigan, I had just as many electrical engineering oriented classes centering on math and physics as I did computer science classes focusing on software aspects.
If you know you want to build computers, I think you'd be better served with an Electrical Engineering degree (taking as many computer classes as electives as possible). If you have no desire to know what goes on inside the box and just want to make it do things, then CS and/or MIS is for you. If you want to know computers inside and out and figure out exact what kind of work you want to do later, then CE is the "hedge" degree keeps all the doors open for you.
December 24th was a holiday this year, because the Emperor's Birthday, which falls on the 23rd, was a Sunday this year, so the observance was moved up a day so people got Monday off. December 25th, however, was just a normal Tuesday, and I was here at work with almost everyone else. We will however have December 31st to January 3rd off for New Year holiday time.
Needless to say, I'm envious of the people in the home office in America, where it seems that most people have started taking holiday from around December 14th...
No, I only tried the top page. Actually, it's the first time I've used Mozilla, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. Seemed alright on CNN.com though...
FWIW, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin is one of the two main daily newspapers in Hawaii, along with the Honolulu Advertiser (I'm sure you have lots of pre-conceived notions based on that name too...)
Instead of 11 numbers, you could use just four kanji characters to cover the spread. And you get the added benefit of learning Japanese or Chinese in the process!
Take 100 random kids who all eat cheerios. The majority probably will either be prone to violence, stupid, or have something wrong with them as adults. Does this mean that cheerios causes these things? Hell nope.
The study was done by measuring brain activity during game play, without any other distractions. They found that the part of the brain that allows for self-control received much less stimulation than normal. I'd say that's a much more direct correlation than your cheerios example.
although it's amazing how many people will believe sh1t like this without even thinking about the legitimacy of it
And it's amazing how people will write sh1t about something without having the discipline to even read up on what they're talking about. Too much DOOM playing, I guess...
