  4. Re:[OT] A+ = F on Ask Slashdot: Getting Exchange and SQL Experience? · · Score: 0

    I earned this certification as an attempt to segue my hobby experience into a first IT position so that I could start a career. It didn't work. It's fuckwads like you that have ruined any chance I will ever have of starting a career or a family. Go fuck yourself. So I'm not a fucking engineer, I just wanted a fucking chance. A first job where I could gain experience and further my skills. I guess that was too much to fucking ask.

    Yeah, fuck the nannies. If you are scared of your infintesimally small chances of getting killed by a tipsy driver, how about YOU stay the fuck home.

    Right, because I want to bring a third meatbag with me on my date just because you twisted a bunch of statistics to show driving tipsy is the same as driving wasted.

  8. Re:Hahahahahahahaha Muahaha on The Amazon Rainforest Wants Its TLD Back From Amazon.com · · Score: 1

    If and when they start using these new TLD I will boycott for life. I will never visit a site that uses them. You are wasting your money if you buy one.

  9. Re:Hmm... on Amazon.com Suffers Outage: Nearly $5M Down the Drain? · · Score: 1

    I think the biggest danger is that a customer might find a viable alternative to Amazon during the down time, and future sales become affected.

  10. Re:Can't get started on IT Job Market Recovering Faster Now Than After Dot-com Bubble Burst · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm already 31 so I guess I can just forget about ever getting that first job and the experience needed to continue this path. When everybody who knows how to do these specialized things retires and nobody is there to take their place, I hope everyone remembers how they stopped letting people in on the ground floor. It'll be their own damn fault that high tech society is crumbling around them.

  13. Re:Russian on Ask Slashdot: 2nd Spoken/Written Language For Software Developer? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I still haven't learned Russian, but I have learned the alphabet, and even that has been very rewarding. It is easier than it looks, you can start sounding out words with a few afternoons worth of work. 'napk' in russian sounds and means the same as 'park' in English 'pectopah' sounds like 'restoran' and it means restaurant. See you've already learned that they use the letter 'p' to make thier 'r' sound. Continuing in this way you can easily learn the substitution cyper and can sound out russian words on your own. Have fun!

  14. Made my own on The Coming Wave of In-Dash Auto System Obsolescence · · Score: 1

    Took out the double-din radio and now the only thing in the dash is the 7 inch touch screen. I've got a mini-itx computer in the trunk with the amp. USB GPS. Can upgrade any part if I need too. install my own software. I've been bumping and bouncing around with a 640 GB laptop drive for a couple years and it still works fine.

  22. Re:Submit a word cloud as your resume on When the Hiring Boss Is an Algorithm · · Score: 1

    The correct phrase is "to all intents and purposes." This phrase dates back to the 1500s and originated in English law, where it was "to all intents, constructions, and purposes." In modern usage, "for all intents and purposes" is also acceptable. The phrase means "for all practical purposes" and is generally used to compare two nonidentical acts or deeds, i.e.,"We've got a few odd things to finish, but to all intents and purposes the job is done." "They redesigned the old model and created something which was to all intents and purposes a brand new car." A shorter equivalent phrase is "in effect." When used in a strictly legal sense, the wording would be "intent and purposes," as it refers to one's mental attitude/state at the time said action occurred. A common malapropism is "for all intense and purposes" (also, "for all intensive purposes") a result of the original phrase being misheard and repeated. The word "intense" is used here incorrectly; "intense" is used in English to indicate a degree of intensity, i.e., "As the afternoon passed, the fire grew more intense."

    So it has a pleasant warming effect on a cold day. Does it use less energy than turning up the heater? Instead of heating the whole house you track the occupants and warm them up with finely targeted microwaves.

  25. Re:The open question... on 2011 Was the 9th Hottest Year On Record · · Score: 1

    The problem is when it warms just a little all those microbes in the Canadian and Russian tundra turn on and start pumping out methane and a vicious cycle begins. The more methane the awoken microbes pump into the atmosphere the hotter it gets and more microbes then wake up and start pumping out methane. Its called a methane positive feedback loop and despite the term positive it is most certainly not a good thing for Canadians or anybody else.
