  1. Re:Teaser trailer background on Star Wars II (Attack of the clones) Trailer · · Score: 1

    It has been mentioned that if the theater did not follow Lucusfilm's rules for Episode I, that they would not recieve any more promo materials from Lucasfilms in the future.

  2. It's a double standard. on Does Age Really Matter? · · Score: 1
    It's really weird, I started out June, 1999 The only experience I had was 5 years of trouble shooting PC's on campus, and 3 years of writing PHP, C++, and hacking slackware linux.

    Did any of this count? No.
    I spent three months searching for a job. Eventually I interviewed at a company where the main Engineer actually knew something. The joys of internet startup's. No HR.

    After a 10 minute interview he said I was hired.

    Was that the end of the story? No!

    I was paid very poorly, and bascially left alone, because I wasn't classified as "good enough yet".
    Weird thing is, they were going through a Linux conversion and they didn't know much about it, but I did.
    6 months later, they wake up and realize that I learned their propritary code, and was very proficient. A hard task, being it was old K&R style C. After many battles with management, I have finally arrived. But that has only been in the last 5 months. Since starting work I have more then doubled my salary.

    Point is, you have to get in the door. You have to put in your time as a grunt, but hang in there. You'll go places.

    I'm also turning 23 this month.

    I have to write even more javascript to make sure I am compatible with all browsers.

    <LAYER> no longer works, sliently dies
    you can't reference elements the same way

    but that's ok, I need more work to do anyways. Hey, maybe I can convince our Web designers that JavaScript is of the devil.

    And then I wake up
