...who really kindof dug the 3 "new" Star Wars movies? Sure, there were parts that I didn't like...the stilted Christensen/Portman love dialog, the weakness of the Sifo-Dyas plot point, but few films are perfect.
Well, yes, but the issue with that analogy is that just connecting to the internet doesn't make you "you". When I connect at home, I'm not browsing websites as my actual, or any, self; I will go identify (i.e. login) as "me" to Facebook, then llogout. Go next to Google+, then logout. Come to/. then logout.
Being on the internet now is to be a series of disconnected selves as you join and leave insular virtual universes. IMO that is inherently *anti*-social. I envision a decentralized social network as having a singular virtual self.
Bullshit. If you're going to do the intentional-typo kind of post, you do it with multiple and obvious words, not 1. This was a legitimate crow-eating moment.
I see people come in to the office all the time wanting to get their toys on the network. I tell them "come back with something that doesn't' have a picture of a piece of fruit on it".
I never would have gone for a sit-in-a-call-center position myself. My degree form one of those cozy New England liberal arts universities was a BA in Information Technology. Some programming, some networking, some MIS, and so on, a grab-bag. I do tech support for a public K-12 school system, and I think its kinda fun.
In the end, find something to do that you simply enjoy. All else will flow from there.
Employers want well-rounded individuals, not button-pushing, narrowly-focused sheep. Your resume will sink like a stone on any competent HR manager's desk.
I don't read comic books...oh, excuse me..."graphic novels"....and what I know of Green Lantern is just from the old Superfriends cartoons of the 70's/80's.
For what it was, a fluff early-summer action movie, it was entertaining. standard comic plot devices...outsider/loner with daddy issues, a girl that is also desired by the nerds soon-to-be-supervillian friend, etc...etc...aside. Kindof a weak fight at the end...flinging prlalax-whatever into the sun just didn't feel satisfying...but you don't go to summer movies expecting Oscar material.
If you're still on Windows XP (and you're a home user) than you are an idiot. Update and move on for the love of god. The majority of Windows XP users will be corporate sheep anyway -- and they don't need to be using iTunes/iCloud anyway.
Times like these I wish I was more active here and had the points to spend to send your post into troll/flamebait oblivion.
People like you are the embodiment of that "your laptop/phone/tv is already outdated" tv commercial.
We don't need to ditch perfectly working computers simply to be on the latest-and-greatest side of things. I have XP at home, I play some older games on it, some stuff from Steam, and stream Netflix. It does what I want it to do, and I'm quite certain many others would say the same. Why should people spend money that they don't need to, just to appease some twitchy teenager on the internet who does the "OMG OLD" shtick?
It's not subletting what we are talking here we are talking about a law that makes it a crime to share your flat with your brother, or your son, or your wife.
If said brother, son, or wife is not on the lease, it would be considered subletting.
I admit I am tiring a bit of the Amy+Rory soap opera saga, but can't quite envision how they are going to get phased out. I don't think the writers have the balls to kill one or both outright, esp if Amy is really pregnant, and it'd be too trite to do the "we want to settle down and not travel any more" out.
Then you don't know Utah. Utah is one of the strongest supporters of free speech.
Yes, ground zero for a religion that until the 70's still didn't let us pesky Negroes in, and who in many ways....deified crazy founder, belief in aliens on other planets, magic underpants, tithing...are little different from Scientologists.
Utah is just all about progressive, forward-thinking....

I faced a similar situation a few years ago. I had watched a bit of the Tom Baker era (#4) but really not much since then. What I found was that they made a theatrical film in the mid-90's with doctor #8, but IMO after watching that, it served more as a code for the earlier series (as it began with #7 being killed) than as a setup for the next, which was not revived til around 2004.
"Rose" begins with the Ninth Doctor, but there's no real connection to the movie; he at some unseen point already regenerated, so it really is starting from scratch.

Once I read the article, I discovered that this is an account of events from FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. 1997, dude.
The book itself is coming out now, is the point of the article.
I'd rather work on 40 yr old treasures there than windows98-era clunkers that we STILL have lying around here.

...it's up to their parents to decide when and how much they drink.
I think the OP should take his family to a restaurant, buy a beer, hand it to one of the kids to drink, and report the results here.

I'd dump it today if it wasn't for sports, can't get by without the Sox, Bruins, Celtics.
Most awesome typo ever.
It wasn't a typo.
In other words: wooosh!
Bullshit. If you're going to do the intentional-typo kind of post, you do it with multiple and obvious words, not 1. This was a legitimate crow-eating moment.
why not go for the socially skilled hacker?
A whatnow?
Like Xerox?
Like Photoshop?

I'd fire you on the spot.
Thankfully, the hired help doesn't fire the management.
Enjoy your 4D tv, kiddo.

How do you spell potato, Mr. Quayle?
It's not subletting what we are talking here we are talking about a law that makes it a crime to share your flat with your brother, or your son, or your wife.
If said brother, son, or wife is not on the lease, it would be considered subletting.
Most rental agreements contain language prohibiting the renter from subletting the property.
