1. Go for as long as you can without using your credit card before the interview.
2. Drink lots of water(1 gal) on the day of the credit check.
3. Never give them the first credit report of the morning.
4. Take B vitamins. An overly-clear credit report may set off some red flags at the lab.
** Golden Seal and Visine are said to improve your chances of passing.
I'm not sure how they expect these to work. I would think the guy that runs the reporting terminal is gonna notice you putting the drops in his eyes, but you might be able to spike his coffee cup with the golden seal
I don't think you start by accepting $5000 on an option for a Hollywood treatment that shows you in an "unfavorable and false light."
Seems like Mitnick's claims of "falsifications" varied inversely with Mitnick's level of employment. Sounds like the same sociopathic blinders of people who try to rip off little old ladies in phone scams.
Voice of Pierce Brosnan: Relax Omega 9. That reamer is a feature not a bug. Its part of Microsoft's Active Crapper technology that will analyze your "leavings" to plan enjoyably nutritious meals.
Relax, Omega 9. I'm detecting unusually high levels of tension in your backfat. Have a comfy seat in couch.Net.

This isn't a transporter story, this is a story about secure communications.
If you can transmit messages with entangled photons over an optical network, you can prevent anyone from "tapping" the line and observing your communication without you knowing. If someone fucks with one of the entangled photons, the other party will know.
The NV30 runs the ARB2 path MUCH slower than the NV30 path. Half the speed at the moment. This is unfortunate, because when you do an exact, apples-to-apples comparison using exactly the same API, the R300 looks twice as fast, but when you use the vendor-specific paths, the NV30 wins.
I'm betting that Carmack assumed NV30 would also use the ARB2 path with NV10/20 R200 for the older cards. When he found ARB2 ran like shit on NV30, he had to do a special NV30 path.
He's already dumped vendor-specific vertex programs. I bet ARB2 would have been the only next-generation fragment processor if the NV30 could have run it fast enough.
I've been running ATI cards on my desktop since the mach64 chip days. When I got my 9700 in August, I NEVER thought I'd still have a chip that was competitive with nVidia's best offering in 3D. I never bought ATI cards because they were best in 3D or driver quality - they never were better. ATI did have superior 2D quality (to my eyes) and Video/DVD playback. Given I spend 90% on my time on a desktop, ATI had the right mix of features. Now they finally are competitive with nVidia's 3D.
After we started to get benchmarks showing matched performance, the remaining questions were left to DX9 and the more complex shaders. From Carmack's comments and the shadermark tests that are showing up, it appears that ATI is anywhere from competitive to superior in the DX9 2.0 shaders, as well. It does look like NV30 can indeed run deeper/higher precision shaders, but we will have to wait to see if games ever do show with shaders deeper than the LCD between NV30 and R300.
Carmack does mention that nVidia promised that "compiler improvements" will increase the NV30 shader performance. (Better scheduling of parallel pipes?)
The astounding bottom line is that as of Jan 2003, the 9700 is not shown to be inferior in any way to an as-yet unreleased flagship product from the king of 3d on the mainstream desktop.3 Cheers for ATI.
Does the average Slashdot reader think they will retire (with a pension, benefits, etc) after a long and successful career in IT?
If by "retire" you really meant "blow your brains out" and by "pension" you really meant "all your vast 401k dot com profits" and by "benefits" you really meant "bankrupt social security" and by "long and successful career" you really meant "still living in your parents house sitting around getting stoned" then, yes, I believe I will retire after a long and successful career in IT.
They could simply add a bracket for a baking tin on the outflow and can call it the nVidia Muffin Master FX easy-bake oven (with free GeForce graphics heating element included)
I got my 9700 in the last week of August, and I simply can't believe that as of Jan 2003, NVidia has no compelling response.
Extremetech even points to the 9700 AS BEING FASTER when the eye candy is ramped at the high resolutions.
I can only imagine the puckered rectums and sleepless nights of Nvidia's engineering crew when the 9700 first came out. They must have really been caught by surprise. I suspect the last months have been spent furiously tuning their drivers to remain competitive. Which they have done - barely.
I've been telling the fence-sitters to stop waiting and jump on ATI. No reason to wait anymore, even for an Nvidia fanboy.
I happen to know they are using the ComSimpSys ComE wireless Ethernet bridge based on 2.4 GHz organically-grown hemp-based technology that was hand weaved back at the local co-op.
Yeah I had some issues with the "covet" feature and I can tell you the tech support sucks. I suspect the big guy is just a typical anti-social programmer type and just doesn't answer the phone.
This "you'll get all the answers in the afterlife" crap might work for Microsoft, but I'm beginning to wonder if the big programmer in the sky might have something to hide. Maybe an embarrassing lack of flashable BIOS for upgrades or something else that might kill sales.

Dryers have been used by Belgian monks to produce the so-called "lint trappist" style of ales.
Very satisfying and complex tasting stuff, but sometimes it suffers from an odd aftertaste of static cling.
To be an authentic concert CD, it should shrink down to one tenth its normal size the first time you put it in a player.
I heard on the web that this works:
1. Go for as long as you can without using your credit card before the interview.
2. Drink lots of water(1 gal) on the day of the credit check.
3. Never give them the first credit report of the morning.
4. Take B vitamins. An overly-clear credit report may set off some red flags at the lab.

This report claims that it was recommended that NASA use a laser-based system to scan foam insulation before launch.
Also claims the lithium used in the super-light versions of the external tanks will only make the foam debonding situation worse.

Probably both use the same sodium ion and the same channel in their perception changing powers.
