Well I wouldn't hire you. You don't even know how to spell 'honors'.
Sorry, I'm just a shameless yank from across the pond.;-P
Seriously though, good luck. I love my IT position and wish everyone could be as happy. Job hunting is no fun but the longer it takes the more exciting it is when you finally get one!!
Even if you argue that video games destroy young minds, what more damage could be done? I'll remind you of the toddler that was run over (twice) and then passed by numerous times by its fellow countrymen. The unedited video is not for the faint-of-heart, but ABC had a nicely summed up version...

I always thought their basic search features sucked to begin with. For one, it doesn't do well with finding alternate spellings of the same name and lately I've noticed that all three of the people filters (which in and of itself should have more than three) now don't limit their own lists. "Locations" will be intermixed with "Education" so even when looking up a school, you'll have 5 or 6 entries and it's hard to tell which one you're supposed to select. So if I try 4 spellings of a name and use all 6 of the different Education filters, they expect me to try 24 times to make sure all bases are covered. I personally don't use social networking so I might be missing something.
THIS!
While I'm not from a large family, I too inhaled my food my entire life. I'm 41, have been steadily gaining wait for several years and even though I'm concerned about the weight, I know I can start activity to handle that and it's working. The thing that's always worried me was the affects of eating too fast on the digestive system. Even though I'm regular now, I hate the thought of things giving out just because a lifelong habit of eating too fast. I see a hapifork in my future (after it flops and comes down from it's $100 price of course).
And because it has been done, you somehow feel justified in publicly proclaiming your opinion. You're just one notch away from the grammar police, IMHO. Oops, I just pulled a "neurovish"...I guess I'm starting to understand your drive.
We're looking at new hardware in our office and originally my boss really liked the idea of using Linux (mainly because he perceives it as "free") and I explained that we'll not only have to pay for support but he'll have to find another IT guy because I will not deal with the Linux community.
I thought all open source projects treated their users like that...and I'm being dead serious. I've tried to use several open source software pieces and I always lose interest after I start asking questions on the forums. I get greeted with the attitude that I'm just a dumb-ass M$ zombie.
We have a dozen emails going to 6 different domains still stuck in our Exchange queue so I don't believe it's fixed yet. Although, I did see one domain empty out a little while ago and someone has since sent another email to them and that second one is now stuck.
We're using DiscountASP.net and because I didn't set it up, I can't say how comparable their rates are but I can say the service has been pretty solid. In 3 years we've only been down for a couple of minutes due to problems on their end. When there is an issue, they're pretty quick to resolve it and they keep you updated on their forums.
You do understand the folly of your 95% logic don't you? You haven't explained all of your points and then explained the explanations in an effort to leave no stone unturned...your post is a field day for the average slashdotian because there is too much room for interpretation. Heck, who knew only writing 3 sentences and putting TLDR would get an attack by the grammar police. They even got modded UP!
Sure would be, if I was trying to be snobbish. See my post to AK Marc. BTW, according to him, you're probably a snob too because you mentioned your time.
Like any post on any forum, it's only as trustworthy as the source and since we don't know each other we'll never know if we can trust what's being posted. That being said, trust me when I say I mentioned "6 years" only because it was a point of expanding on the effects I've been able to witness. If you go two months with no TV (September and October) and then go to Thanksgiving dinner in November and don't notice yourself watching TV commercials like I do after 6 years of no TV, then don't be surprised that you aren't experiencing what I experience. That's all I meant. The author started with, "Unless you've managed to not watch anything in the past three weeks" and so I started with how much I didn't "watch anything". I look back now and see that I may have clarified that better but I only posted the comment to both share an experience and also to draw some attention to how much the advertisements can affect people (and coincidentally, how the lack of exposure kept me in the dark about this movie).

Winner!
LOL...THIS! +1 You just hurt a TON of /. feelings with that comment.

That's just a cheap plug for your product.

BRAVO! Well placed! LOL!

"When you drag yourselves up to the 20th century, then we can discuss things you have issues with." I just felt this needed repeating
...wants to send plane loads of Vagisil over to them.
That's the most dumb argument I've ever heard.
I'm putting my money on the fact that a camera captured the event.

It will be Win8 (9?) by that time.
China's will no doubt be smaller than the rest.

I agree. What a horrible way to discover that you chose poorly at the department store...your child gains access and injurs himself (or worse).
LMAO! "several three+ syllable words"

+1 for JoeMerchant and -1 for me please!
